Here is a copy of the Readme included with the emulator:

A really hacked up port of Hugo 2.11 preview to the DC by Quzar.

Controls are as follows:

Start - Sound On/off (this does not affect speed in any way)
A- I
B- II
X- Run
Y- Select

This can read two different kinds of files, *.pce and *.iso (where the iso is an image of the data track of a Super CD game.)

As far as I know, It supports all possible resolutions (not tested).

Roms should be put in the root of the CD with the emulator on it.

To play CD games you need to also have a matching System card rom that may be named any of the following things: "syscard.pce","syscard3.pce","syscard30.pce"

Every game that I have tested runs about the same speed if not faster than in DreamEngine, but has sound.

i find it regrattble that i didnt specify that your roms have to be in 8.3 filename format, or the menu may crash

Filename 12345678.123

Like the DOS days.

For example, bonksadv.pce is perfectly fine, whereas bonksadventure.pce, Bonk's Adventure.pce, and bonksadv.pcengine are all invalid. In other words, no more than 8 characters (with no spaces, slashes, or colons) for the "name" part, and no more than three characters for the file extension (again, no special characters).
