0.0 - Introduction
------------------
This is a very quick and very dirty Pacman hardware emulator. At the
moment it will play Pacman, Ms. Pacman and Crush Roller.
--------------------------
1.0 - Burning Instructions
--------------------------
DreamPac can be burned in one of two ways.
---------------------
1.1 - Self-boot Image
---------------------
Two self-boot images are provided, one for Disc Juggler v3.0 and one for
Nero Burning ROM. For more information on Disc Juggler, please visit
http://www.padus.com . For more information on Nero, please visit
http://www.nero.com .
If your CDR drive is not supported by Disc Juggler or Nero, please read
the section 1.2 for information on making your own program CD.
----------------------
1.2 - Individual Files
----------------------
The second distribution is all of the individual files that are included
in the Disc Juggler/Nero images, but instead of burning a prepared disc
image, you will need to burn the files as they are layed out in the .zip
file. This will require you to either make the disc self-boot on your own,
or will require the use of some type of boot disc.
The layout for this CD is as follows:
/1ST_READ.BIN - Program file
Additionally, you can put your ROMS on this CD. Please see the next
section on how to do this.
PLEASE NOTE: At this time, Ganksoft will not be providing detailed
instructions on creating your own self-boot Dreamcast CDs. Please see
section 1.4 for some web sites that contain detailed information on how to
make your own self-boot CD.
----------------
1.3 - User Files
----------------
If you've burned the self-boot disc image listed in section 1.1, you
will need to create a separate CD filled with your own ROM images. This CD
should be burned in Mode 1 format.
If you are making your own self-boot CD from section 1.2, these files
can be burned onto the same CD eliminating the disc swap.
In either situation, just copy the ROM files listed below into the root
of the CD. There are no subdirectories to create. Also, please be certain
that the ROMs are unzipped!

*** We have tried burning ROM CDs in DiscJuggler, Nero and CDRWin and
have found that CDRWin *DOES NOT BURN THE FILES WITHOUT EXTENSIONS
PROPERLY*. Please use software other than CDRWin to burn your ROM CD.
Please note that all of these ROMs are identical to the ROMs found in
the standard MAME ROM sets. And once again, these ROMs *MUST* be unzipped
and placed in the root directory of the CD. No separate subdirectories are
required.
When you start the program from the self-boot, swap the program CD for
the ROM CD at the menu selection screen and leave this CD in the drive for
the duration of the program.

2.0 - Controls
--------------
Game Selection
Up / Down - Move highlight bar
A - Select
In-game
Control Pad - Joystick
A - Credit
B - Speed Up
X - Rack Advance
Y - Toggle Screen Size
L - 1 Player Start
R - 2 Player Start
Start - Back to Selection Menu
The screen size toggle doubles the size of the screen to make the game a
bit easier to see. The downside of this is that
a) If your TV is very overscanned, the top and bottom rows of dots
won't be seen
b) No matter what, the scores on top/statuses on bottom of the screen
cannot be seen.
Screen modes can be changed at any time during gameplay.
