This readme file is a work in progress. It will improved some time in the future.

Welcome to RetroCopy!

Firstly this is a BETA, do not expect every single feature to be implemented or for there to be no bugs. 
Please use the forum at retrocopy.com to report any bugs or suggestions.

Secondly you will need to convert your .SMS files to .GAME files. Use the supplied converter program to do this, place the .SMS files in the IMPORT subfolder and click the IMPORT button in the program, wait for it to finish and that's it. The .SMS files will be removed so make sure you copy them to the IMPORT folder rather than moving them. The .GAME files will be placed into the SMS subfolder where you extracted RetroCopy to and RetroCopy should then detect them when you load it.

The .GAME format automatically 7ZIP compresses the ROM to save space and adds important information used for accurately playing the game. Only the Master System emulation has been included in this BETA, NES will be included soon once the GAME format supports it. I am aiming for BETAs every friday for a while so keep an eye on the website.

You can use the keyboard or joystick for playing. The keyboard keys are :-
Direction Pad: Arrow keys
Button 1: A
Button 2: S
Button 3,4,5,6: D, Z, C, V
Pause: Space
Rewind: Tab
Fast Forward: Tilde(~)
Zoom mode (fullscreen): F1
Show Status: F2
3D Movement: F3
Configurable input will be coming soon
