                      RELEASE 1.0 : SUPER MARIO BROTHERS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A long, long time ago (November 1997) in a galaxy far, far away (Liverpool) a
young farmboy (Ed Cleveland) stumbled across a dark secret hidden away in an
Amiga CD. It was a Commodore 64 emulator with complete source code. Laughing
manically, Ed hatched his evil plan for world domination. Using the 6502
emulator he would create a NES emulator for the Atari ST.

Ed visited the shadowy lair of Mr Pink clutching a disk full of code. 
A secret pact was formed - Ed would code the 68000 version whilst the
hapless Mr Pink would handle the Falcon conversion.

ST Owners will be pleased to see Ed Cleveland's 'Nesulator' arriving on a
machine near them soon.

The Falcon version has a number of enhancements:

* 256 Colour Mode Used to support total NES palette emulation
* Double Buffered Hardware Scrolling for faster emulation
* Sprite Clipping

Parts of the 6502 emulator have been recoded to support a more efficient
memory management system. The mapper routines have also been recoded to
work faster. The video chip emulator has been completely recoded.

The consequence of this is that 'Godlenes' runs a lot faster than 
'Nesulator', but is less technically accurate in operation.

Both 'Nesulator' and 'Godlenes' will be made into generic emulators.
We still have a lot of work to do with mapper routines, so we are going
to release a few games just to whet your appetite for the full generic
emulator.


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 PLAYING
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Control the main menu with powerpad or cursor keys and space.
On the Super Mario Brothers title screen press 'Select' to toggle between
one and two player action. Press 'Start' to begin.

You can load or save files at any point during the game.

Files are saved in the current directory with a filename of 'GODLENES.SAV'



%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 OPTIONS
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

 * CONTROL

   The game can be controlled with either Powerpad or Keyboard.

 * GFX DETAIL

   You can change the display detail to provide either faster or more colourful
   emulation. You can also change screen mode 'on the fly' during the game.

   [ LO ]

   This uses 16 colour mode with 2 planes for the background and 2 planes for
   the sprites.

   [ MID ]

   This uses 256 colour mode with 4 planes for the background but only 2 planes
   for the sprites.

   [ HI ]

   This gives you full colour emulation with 4 planes for the background and
   4 planes for the sprites in glorious 256 colour mode.

 * CLIPPING

   Sprite clipping allows sprites to go behind objects.
   Switching this feature on means a slower but more pretty sprite routine.

 * SCREEN SPLIT

   Super Mario Land uses a screen split to change the screen so the score
   panel remains static and the rest of the screen scrolls. 
   Godlenes can emulate this feature by using a Timer B routine.
   This has the disadvantage of making the screen slightly 'wobbly'!
   This wobbliness is accenuated by having the DSP music on.
   This feature is best used on RGB monitors only!

 * MUSIC

   The DSP tracker music can be toggled on and off with this feature.
   Having the music off may lead to slightly faster emulation and less
   screen wobbling with the screen splitting on.


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 TRAINER
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

For the weak, old, and PC owners there is a trainer mode to allow you to play
the game easier!

 * INFINITE LIVES

   This gives you more lives than there are atoms in the universe.

 * INVULNERABILITY

   Also known as Tony Blair mode. No harm can possibly befall you!

 * INFINITE TIME

   It's like the millenium bug on the PC!
   You don't get score on this mode or coins - cheats never prosper!
