                              Final Burn
                   ---------------------------------

Basics!
-------
Final Burn is an arcade emulator.
It requires the rom images of the original arcade machines to emulate them.

(If you aren't familiar with emulators, you should note that this program is different from
a game, since it's a tool used to run the original games.)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

          Final Burn is free for home use, but you cannot use it
                  commercially without my permission.

          MAKE SURE YOU VISIT THE HOMEPAGE AT WWW.FINALBURN.COM

    It contains my e-mail, up to date information about bugs that have
   already been found, frequently-asked questions, and new developments.

What's new?

v0.112
+ Added driver for Cyberbots

v0.111
+ Added driver for 19XX
  (The emu isn't really built for vertical games like 19XX yet, but here's my current
   beta if you want it anyway. I'm thinking 512x384 or 1024x768 with scanlines would
   be a good choice - without a fullscreen stretch because otherwise the aspect ratio
   would be wrong obviously.)

v0.110
+ Added Quiz Nanairo Dreams
  I would tell you whether it's working completely or not... but the amount of Japanese
  text is so great, I doubt I'll ever be able to play it!

  From what I can tell, it's fairly cute, it has a definite 'quiz' element,
  it seems to runs fine, and if you speak Japanese I'm sure it will be perfectly playable!

Using Final Burn
------------------
Put the romsets (zipped) in the subdirectory (folder) called "roms".

Note: the emulator colors will appear wrong if your desktop is in 256-color (8-bit).
Right-click on your desktop, properties, settings, and raise you color depth to 16-bit or higher
before you run the emulator.

Now Run the emulator and select your game, click Load, pick the game you wish to play.
