#### Nintendo Entertainment System/Famicom

Usage:
Note that the one player hand controller Select is mapped as Coin 1 (default key 5), and
Start is mapped as Player 1 Start (default key 1). This makes it convenient to use the driver
with a "MAME" configured controller.
Famicom Disk System switching is mapped to Player 1 Button 3 (default key [space]).

Known Issues:
The NES driver should run most of the images currently out there with very little problem.
It doesn't yet support the obscure one-game mappers used by many "pirate carts".
The NES driver has quite accurate sound and sample playback. For example, you can hear speech
samples in Bayou Billy, Gauntlet, Dirty Harry, and Skate or Die that are not present in a
few other NES emulators.
The main focus up until this point has been in getting the NES driver as accurate as
possible. Unfortunately, the scanline rendering method is quite slow, so future efforts
will be focusing on bringing up the speed.
Wanted: I'd appreciate any info on some of the more obscure mappers. If you have any of this,
please drop me a line at bradman@pobox.com
