1. About ZSNES
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
ZSNES is a SNES emulator that has been worked on since 1997. Originally
|
||||
programmed by zsKnight and _Demo_, the project has since then attracted a number
|
||||
of new developers and contributors.
|
||||
|
||||
On April 2, 2001, the ZSNES project was GPL'ed and its source released to the
|
||||
public. Written in a mixture of x86 assembler, C, and C++, ZSNES currently runs
|
||||
on Windows, DOS, x86 versions of Linux and FreeBSD, x86 Macintosh computers, and
|
||||
the Microsoft Xbox.

2. About the Documentation
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
The ZSNES Documentation Project was started by RichardC in an attempt to update
|
||||
and reorganize all of the ZSNES documentation into an easy to read, easy to
|
||||
access collection. It made its public debut upon the release of ZSNES v1.40.
|
||||
It is officially available in HTML, CHM, and text formats.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have any suggestions or corrections that you would like to submit,
|
||||
feel free to let us know at our forum on the ZSNES Message Board
|
||||
[http://board.zsnes.com].
|
||||
|
||||
RichardC would like to give a special thanks to Nach and the ZSNES community for
|
||||
all the help and support that they have given to him and the project.

|

RichardC - founder of the ZSNES Documentation Project. First active
|
||||
administrator. He had the dirty job of doing the initial conversion
|
||||
of the docs into HTML.

Nach - programmer extraordinaire, and knows ZSNES very well. He helps a lot in
|
||||
documenting the obscure things we writers don't know about.

|
||||
another 6 months of developer notes.
|
||||
kevman - helped with the v1.40 FAQ updates.
|
||||
xamenus - joined the project shortly after RichardC's initial release, and made
|
||||
many grammar fixes and updated the content. Combined the 3 separate,
|
||||
port-specific documentations into one. Still contributes some content from
|
||||
time to time.
|
||||
Noxious Ninja - manpage expert. No longer active in the emulation "scene", he
|
||||
always had something useful to contribute.
|
||||
Clements - maintainer of the CHM file. Also assists with coding and content.
|
||||
AspiringSquire - designer and maintainer of the TXT version of the docs;
|
||||
occasionally contributes content. Also an expert with grammar and
|
||||
vocabulary corrections.
|
||||
Jipcy - current active administrator and mark-up chief. Manages and contributes
|
||||
to all parts of the docs.
|
||||
Jonas Quinn - mainly helps in super-optimizing the images.
|
||||
Deathlike2 - ZBoard tech help expert. Also makes many suggestions/corrections to
|
||||
the docs.
|
||||
|
||||
Special thanks to Radio. He designed the ZSNES.com main page layout, from which
|
||||
we stole this design for the HTML docs. Also special thanks to Roman Rudenko,
|
||||
for finding the elusive "display:inline" fix for floated items in IE.

All ports of ZSNES use NASM v0.98+, GNU Make, zlib, libpng, and JMAlib to
|
||||
compile, link, compress, decompress, and execute.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the above, ZSNES Win uses Visual C++ 2003 (or MinGW), DirectX 8,
|
||||
UPX, and ManyMouse; ZSNES SDL uses GCC, SDL v1.20, and ManyMouse; and ZSNES DOS
|
||||
uses DJGPP, CWSDPMI, and UPX.
