- build with gcc 3.4.0 (AmiDevCPP) and libSDL 1.2.15

- there is only one thing left to fix - false colors on start of emulator.
  fixed by using CTV effect "swab" in included dgenrc.
  If you get false colors, use F5 until the colors are correct

- default config file (dgenrc) will be read from current (PROGDIR:) folder.
  in case this does not work, use this command line:
  dgen -r dgenrc romname
  
- there are command line options, see dgen -h

have fun

DGen/SDL is a free, open source emulator for Sega Genesis/Mega Drive
systems. DGen was originally written by Dave, then ported to SDL by Joe
Groff and Phil K. Hornung in 1998.

Unfortunately, the project was abandoned at least since 2005 and much of
its history gone with its original home page.

In 2008, tamentis decided to try to relive DGen/SDL by registering this
project on SourceForge and made the source code of the last official
release (version 1.23) available through CVS. He also created DGen's
logo.

In August 2011, suddenly remembering Streets of Rage, I struggled to
find a Mega Drive (Genesis) emulator able to run it on my current setup
(Linux/x86_64), as most of them either targeted Windows, were completely
written in x86 assembly, or just didn't work for some reason.

Because DGen was my emulator of choice since 2002, I resolved to have a
look at the code and make it 64‐bit‐safe myself (only one month
later, I found out that some people on some forums already created
patches for this purpose). After that and some additional bugfixing, I
noticed that tamentis was looking for a new maintainer, so I offered my
help along with a bunch of patches and got the position.

DGen isn't the best Mega Drive/Genesis emulator out there, but it works
and it's probably the most portable. It's also perfect for
command‐line freaks.
