1. What's fSMS32 ?
------------------

 SMS Plus is a portable SMS computer emulator coded by Charles MacDonald.
 fSMS32 is a GP32 handheld port of SMS Plus 0.9.4a emulator done by rlyeh.

 You can download the latest fSMS32 binary from http://www.retrodev.info/

 You'll be able to download the latest fSMS32 sources as soon as I clean them a bit :-)

2. History   
----------

 20/07/03: fSMS32 first release (public)

    - full SMS and GG support,
    - full SMS/GG/ROM/ZIP/GZ loading, (packed files using ZLib)
    - full SN76496 sound support,   
    - two display modes for SMS (1:1, 1.25:1.25)
    - five display modes for GG (1:1, 1.5:1.5, 2:1, 2:1.5, 2:1.666)
    - high compatibility,
    - crystal sound rendering output, using CHN's library,
    - auto SRAM saving/loading,
    - save states support,
    - saving screenshots to PNG format, using my own library,
    - preliminary RF multiplayer gaming (untested),
    - fast filesystem manager (able to scan 1300 zips per minute),
    - CRC32 ROM naming detection using GoodSMS and GoodGG by Cowering,
    - featuring extras: preliminary GUI, built-in menus. 

   What's lacking:

   - some compatiblity issues (Shadow Dancer),
   - some graphical glitches (Space Harrier),
   - PCM sound,
   - decent FM sound,
   - fixing known bugs as usual :-)

   Put your fSMS32.FXE into GPMM\
