NesFront v1.0b			(12/04/1999)
---------------------------------------------------

The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) is my favorite console system.
Today its all 3D and other heavy graphic witch really is not my thing.
Yes its old, but emulation is a great way to keep the old systems allive.
If you dont allready have the emulator Nesticle u can download it at www.zophar.com
Here is a little info and help for NesFront.

--------------
What Is This
--------------

NesFront Is an FrontEnd made for the Nintendo Emulator Nesticle.
NesFront is made for Win95/98
I Started This Project in Visual Basic since i could not find any frontends for nesticle.
So i figured out i would give it a try.
I Think it worked out pretty good so far and i hope you do to.

Extract the NesFront zip file into your Nesticle dir
MAke a directory named /snap eg c:\nesticle\snap
Place Snapshots in that dir

NesFront allso need the Visual Basic Runtime files. Download Them at
NesFront homepage. Most Win98 versions allready got them installed.

NesFront is easy to use and simple to configure, tho i will write some words here.
To Set The ROM directories select the Options Menu and press Directories.
Now click the button next to thetext box and select the directory you want to use.
To change between directories simply press the "Dir1 - Dir2 - Dir3" Tabs
To change options just click the options u want.
To run the game simply double click it.
To easily quit the game press the key "ALT + Q".

NesFront does have screenshot support, but u have to do some work urself to use it.
To Take a screenshot press the "F9" key when you are playing the game.
First of all NEsticle saves the screenshots as *.PCX files witch Visual Basic Dont support.
This means that you have to open the image with an image viewer and then save it as a
*.JPG file. 
When you are done with that place it in the \snap folder in your nesticle dir.
E.g c:\nesticle\snap
Then rename it to the same name as the ROM it is for.
E.g if your ROM is named "Batman.nes" then rename it to "Batman.jpg"
Now load NesFront and select the ROM. BOOM the image will show up in the screenshot box.

If you have any questions/comments about NesFront you can find me
