Usage:
______________________________________________________________________________
General requirements :
---------------------Supported roms extension are :
*.ngp
*.ngc
*.npc
* CDROM/MC :
- Put your roms in a directory at the root of you CD / MC
- Burn it (if on CD)
- Launch the emu, it's done !
-> filename are limited to 32 characters on the MC (including extension)
* HDD
- Create a valid partition with a filesystem where to put your roms
- Copy them into it (be sure to put them in the root directly)
- Launch the emu, select [HDD] in the browser
- Enjoy !
* HOST :
The emulator can load rom from host, in order to use this, put a file
named "romlist.ini" where is located the elf and containing :
directory\filename1.ngp;
directory\filename2.ngp;
directory\filename3.ngp;
...
according to where you put your roms.
for example :
PDroms\Manic Miner V1.0 by Lindon Dodd (PD).npc;
PDroms\packman.ngp;
etc...
in the above examples the roms will need to be located under a "PDroms" direct
ory,
respecting to where the elf is located.
so :
\PDroms\Manic Miner V1.0 by Lindon Dodd (PD).npc
\PDroms\packman.ngp
\romlist.ini
\neopop.elf
note :

When using host loading you won't have access to your mc/cd/hdd
HDD is only available if you have a HDD installed and formatted.
the Browser only support one level directory
With HDD, the roms need to located in the root of your partition.
Partition must be valid and created with a filesystem
- There is some problem with refreshing CD content when changing CD
in the browser (just choose the old one / back and it should force refresh)
- The browser won't enter a directory/partition if it doesn't find any rom
inside (should add a warning msg).
The rom browser will allow you to switch from mc/cdrom/hdd to mc/cdrom/hdd ..
