MorphStation for MorphOS
========================

A free PlayStation emulator for MorphOS, ported from WiiStation, the Wii
version of PCSX. It runs disc images and PlayStation executables, with sound,
gamepad and a PowerPC recompiler.

No game and no BIOS are included: you supply your own.


HOW TO RUN IT
-------------
Drop a game on the MorphStation icon, or from a Shell:

    MorphStation game.cue          disc image (.cue, .bin, .iso, .img)
    MorphStation game.7z           also .zip and .rar archives
    MorphStation program.exe       PlayStation executable (PS-EXE)
    MorphStation -d ...            PowerPC recompiler (faster)
    MorphStation -f ...            start in full screen

Archives are unpacked to T:MorphStation/. The last game stays there, so it
starts at once the next time. Images in .ecm format are rebuilt on the fly.

Alt+Return switches between window and full screen. Escape quits.


CONTROLS
--------
Any gamepad known to SDL2 works, with the usual layout (bottom button =
cross, right = circle, left = square, top = triangle).

Keyboard (key positions of a QWERTY keyboard):

    Arrows      D-pad            Return      Start
    D  F        cross, circle    Shift       Select
    S  E        square, triangle A  Q        L1, L2
                                 G  H        R1, R2


THE BIOS
--------
Put a PlayStation BIOS image (524288 bytes, e.g. scph1001.bin) in the bios
drawer. Without it a built-in BIOS is used: it is less complete and shows no
startup logo. Dump the BIOS from your own console.

astro.exe and wibbly.exe are two Net Yaroze homebrew demos (they need a real
BIOS), included to try the emulator.
