[Version 0.9]

Everything has been rewritten from scratch. The emulation is much more
accurate, as a result compatability has improved greatly.

The DOS port has a lot of nice features added, including 16-bit color,
display blurring, digital sound emulation, and scanlines, which were the
most requested items.

Also new is a Sony Playstation port, though it's highly experimental
and has some serious performance issues.

SMS Plus is now free software; the source code is available for anyone
to use as they see fit, and is distributed under the terms of the GNU
General Public License.

If you use the expand option without scanlines, and the display looks
squashed vertically, then also use the '-novga' switch.

You can disable MMX use with the '-nommx' switch.

You can put any commandline option into a plain text file which should
be called "sp.cfg". Put one option per line, please. Command line options
will override anything in the configuration file.

Battery back-up RAM and save states are saved to the same directory as the
game you loaded. Thi
