+PicoDrive is a Sega 8/16 bit video game system emulator that can be
+used as a libretro core or with the stand alone sdl frontend.
+
+This is yet another Megadrive / Genesis / Sega CD / Mega CD / 32X / SMS
+emulator, which was written having ARM-based handheld devices in mind
+(such as smartphones and handheld consoles like GP2X and Pandora),
+but also runs on non-ARM little-endian hardware too.
+
+RetroArch is an optional dependency to run the libretro core.
+
+PicoDrive requires a real BIOS for Sega CD/Mega CD emulation to work.
+
+* bios_CD_E.bin (MegaCD EU BIOS)
+* bios_CD_U.bin (SegaCD US BIOS)
+* bios_CD_J.bin (MegaCD JP BIOS)
+
+For the standalone emulator they can be placed in ~/.picodrive/ or for
+the libretro core they should be placed in RetroArch's system/bios
+directory.
+
+To build the debugging symbols use:
+ DEBUG=1 ./picodrive.SlackBuild
