                        REQUIREMENTS and INSTALLATION
                        -----------------------------
You need a PC with any 32-bit version of Windows (95 or above)
Simply unzip all files to any folder using full pathnames (right-click on
the archive icon and select the "extract to folder ..." option)

FunnyMu emulator, ROMs and BIOS folders should be located in the same folder
as CreatiVe-UI. You could either change paths from within the program.

Suitable structure is:

BIOS/			(folder with required CreatiVision/Funvision BIOSes)
ROMS/			(folder with game ROMs with *.bin extension)
CreatiVe.exe		(this program)
CreatiVe.ini		(configuration file)
FunnyMu.exe		(FunnyMu emulator)
FunnyMu.ini		(FunnyMu configuration file)



                                    USAGE
                                    -----
* Execute application. The "ROMS" subfolder is scanned and all items with "*.bin"
  extension are marked as "ROMs".
* CRC32 is calculated for each found "*.bin" file, and a list of recognized games
  displays with full infos, pictures, etc.
* Configure CreatiVe-UI ROMs folder and FunnyMu emulator location
* Configure FunnyMu emulator's search path for ROMs and BIOSes, then select
  which BIOS you prefer. Two are available:
  - normal BIOS with "CreatiVision" boot logo to emulate the "CreatiVision" and
    "Dick Smith Wizzard" modes
  - later BIOS (no hacking) to emulate the "Funvision" and "Rameses" modes
* Double click on any game name, or press "enter" to execute the selected game
  with FunnyMu emulator
