     1.4 +Release notes for Milestone 1 ("Smoke and Mirrors")
     1.5 +===================================================
     1.6 +
     1.7 +This is an early development release. Most things don't work. Many things
     1.8 +that do work only do so by sheer luck. Framerates are typically 1-4 frames
     1.9 +per second on a 3Ghz P4. In short, don't expect to run any actual games on
    1.10 +it at this stage (I have not even tried, myself).
    1.11 +
    1.12 +Having said that, the following are known to run with at least some degree of 
    1.13 +success:
    1.14 +
    1.15 +  * Most KOS based demos, and a number of other demos (An exact inventory of 
    1.16 +working demos is not being maintained at this stage).
    1.17 +  * The BIOS bootstrap (you can boot NRG and CDI cd-rom images)
    1.18 +
    1.19 +System requirements
    1.20 +-------------------
    1.21 +GTK 2.0+
    1.22 +Gnome 2.0+
    1.23 +ESounD 2.36+  (if you want interrupted stuttery sound[0])
    1.24 +GCC, Make, etc.
    1.25 +
    1.26 +[0] Actually the ARM chip can be run independently, in which case the
    1.27 +performance is reasonably decent.
    1.28 +
    1.29 +Building
    1.30 +--------
    1.31 +From the base directory
    1.32 +~$ ./configure
    1.33 +~$ make
    1.34 +~$ make install            (optional)
    1.35 +
