I) Introduction :
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Dream-O-Rama is a Sega SG1000/SC3000 emulator. It can play most of the games
for both systems. As the keyboard is not yet emulated, you'be unable to use
dedicated SC3000 tools (such as BASIC, music creator, etc.), but all other games
work great.

Features
~~~~~~~~
- Hi-res display (640*480)
- 2 players support
- Intuitive GUI
- Great compatibility
- High quality sound playback
- Internal name database

II) Burning instructions:
=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-

There's two distributions of Dream-O-Rama :
a) Individuals files
b) Selftboot image

a) Individuals files
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This distribution has all the separated files that you'll have to burn
for making the emulator work.  The cd layout is the same as in the zipped
file.

    ip.bin        (start program)
    1st_read.bin  (the program)
    readme.txt    (this file)
    
Additionally, you can put your ROMS (unzipped !) on this CD in the root.
This will prevent the cd swap.

For getting the user friendly name display working, you'll have to rename all 
yours roms using the tool GOODSMS from Cowering (we used 0.9991 version) which
is available on most of the emu news site (www.consolemul.com, 
www.retrogames.com, etc.) or make a little search on the internet. :)
Take notice that GOODSMS considers some Master System games as SG1000/SC3000
roms. You'll have to exclude these roms :
- Astro Flash (SC-3000) [!].sc
- Kung Fu Kid (SC-3000).sc
- Ghost House (SC-3000) [!].sc
- Teddy Boy (SC-3000) [!].sc
- F16 Fighting Falcon (SC-3000) [!].sc

There are a bunch of sites having loads of docs, for helping you burn the cd
as a selfboot or with a boot cd.

favourite cd burning software. See our web page for details.
