+  It Might Be NES, Copyright (C) 2001,2002,2003 Allan Blomquist

+
+
+This package contains the source code for the Nintendo Entertainment
+System emulator "It Might Be NES" released under the terms of the GNU
+General Public License. Also included for convenience are the tools
+used to build the source code and the files necessary to build a
+burnable CD image on the win32 platform.
+
+Thanks to Hitmen for their excellent docs and tools without which
+imbNES would not exist. Check out http://www.hitmen-console.org
+
+
+Suggested work flow:
+
+Once you make your modifications to the source code, you can use the
+included build.bat file to assemble the source into the program binary.
+By default, nes.exe will be created in the .\out directory. At this
+point you can run the .\out\rombank.exe program to build an ISO image
+suitable for playing on a Playstation 1 or 2 console. Since burning CDs
+each and every time you want to test your changes is impractical, you
+can also use any Playstation emulator that supports loading ISOs for
+testing. I have had good luck with "PSXeven" in the past, but there
+may be something better out there these days. For an even faster
+turn around time, include a single NES ROM into nes.exe itself during
+development and modify the code to start executing it immediately on
+boot. You could also extend the build script to create or patch an ISO
+file automatically so there's nothing to do by hand to test each
+iteration.
+
+If you plan on making any changes other than minor cosmetic ones,
+you should NOT rely on Playstation emulators for testing your
+work. The runtime performance of imbNES depends heavily on having
+decent CPU cache utilization, so no Playstation emulator is going to
+give you an accurate sense of what performance on the real hardware is
+going to be like. If you want to work on the emulation core itself,
+you should have a setup that will enable you to run code on an actual
+Playstation console.
