SEGA Genesis emulator

Modified version of Generator by James Ponder based on version 0.35.

Additional features:

* Support for BZIP2, GZIP and ZIP compressed ROMs.
* Support for X11's XVideo hardware acceleration by SDL for faster and
smoother graphics.
* Fullscreen support with or without the classic color frame.
* SDL audio support (in favour of OSS Audio) which means you can use ESound
and others for sharing the sound device among other applications.
* Optional mute playing i.e., if you don't have a soundcard or the soundcard
is busy you can still play.
* Support for 48kHz sample rate (needs driver support).
* Automagic CPU usage reduction which is especially cool for notebooks.
* Working support for Game Genie codes.

Generator-CBiere has been installed.

If you are using SDL < 1.2.8 and you only see a black window (with sound), try
the following (you must have xvattr, otherwise install it from ports):

xvattr -a XV_AUTOPAINT_COLORKEY -v 1

If you enabled the option SDL_AUDIO and your sound is delayed try setting the
variable "sound_maxfields" and "sound_minfields" in your configuration file
(usually "~/.genrc") to lower values. Like:

# default: 5
sound_minfields = 1

# default: 10
sound_maxfields = 2

If you want AVI recording set the environment variable "SDL_VIDEO_YUV_HWACCEL"
to "0". This will disable hardware support for YUV overlays, which causes the
smoothing and the green backround when there are no ROMs loaded. But AVIs will
be correctly produced.

To gain more performance set the CPUTYPE variable in "make.conf" as appropiate
(in addition to enabling the build option OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS), then rebuild and
install generator.
