 jzIntv  -- Joe Zbiciak's Intellivision Emulator ported to AmigaOS 4
============================================================================

Welcome to jzIntv - an Intellivision emulator made by Joe Zbiciak!
Home page for jzIntv: http://spatula-city.org/~im14u2c/intv/
OS4 version of jzIntv compiled by Sharakmir. 

IMPORTANT NOTE:
---------------
The jzIntv emulator provides SDL joystick support (which works in AmigaOS 4.x), 
BUT when starting the emulator with your joystick/joypad plugged in, the
emulator windows does not quit properly. Probably some AmigaInput/SDL feature, I
have not (yet) succeeded in finding where it goes wrong. 

BUT - without a joystick/joypad plugged in - the emulator is tested 100% OK in
AmigaOS 4.1. 

If yoy want to play with a joystick, bear in mind that you have to kill the
jzIntv window with Executor to get rid of it. Ok?

QUICK START
-----------
Run 'jzintv --help' to get usage information. You will need an "exec.bin" image,
a "grom.bin" image and a game image (.int or .rom) in order to do anything. 
 
You can use the stock "exec.bin," "grom.bin" and game ROM images that come 
with the Intellivision Lives! CD. Place exec.bin and grom.bin in the bin folder 
(where jzIntv is). Default behaviour is that jzIntv searches for game roms
in the bin folder, but I suggest that you put these in the rom folder and use 
below method to start the emulator. To start an Intellivison game (game roms end
with .int or .rom), go to the bin folder and execute: 
	
jzintv /rom/<your game>

To get jzintv to start in a 640x480x8 window, run: 

jzintv -z1 /rom/<your game>

To exit the emulator, klick on the window gadget to the top left or press F1.
