        !            10: This is a Genesis (Mega Drive) emulator.
        !            11: 
        !            12: This version emulates most things, most notably it does not
        !            13: do:
        !            14: 
        !            15:  * Interlacing
        !            16:  * Joypads
        !            17:  * Load/save games
        !            18: 
        !            19: The technique this emulator uses is one of block-marking and includes such
        !            20: optimisations as flag calculation removal, operand pre-calculation and
        !            21: endian pre-conversion.  There are approximately 1600 routines to cope with
        !            22: the 67 different 68000 instructions.
        !            23: 
        !            24: This emulator has been designed for dynamic recompiling and supports
        !            25: (poorly) the ARM series of processors if so compiled.

        !            30: 
        !            31: The display menu allows you to scale the image up to 200%.  Note that this
        !            32: requires that the emulator construct the image at twice the resolution
        !            33: and send it all to the server - this is a large amount of data and will
        !            34: slow down.  This is X's fault.  There is a 'smooth' feature, but this was
        !            35: added just to see if I could do it, and is quite slow.
        !            36: 
        !            37: You can also toggle any layer - they are listed in the order of priority
        !            38: that they are plotted.  Turning off layers that a game doesn't use will
        !            39: speed the emulation up.
        !            40: 
        !            41: If you find your machine cannot cope, you can ask the emulator to not
        !            42: display all frames.  The game will not be affected.
