+=====
+
+An Apple II emulator for Nintendo DS, powered by devkitPRO, libnds and lots of
+sweat. This is how I spent most of my summer nights when I couldn't sleep
+because of the heat, debugging the asm core and reading the Apple II manuals.
+
+
+What is emulated
+================
+* Apple II/II+
+* Language card
+* 5.25 floppy disk
+* Speaker
+
+Notes
+=====
+
+Consider it as a WIP, it lacks some stuff like configurable keymaps and
+extensive testing.
+The video generation takes ~50% of the CPU time and would definitely benefit
+from optimization, beside the fact that it doesn't emulate color bleeding.
+When playing games that make extensive use of disk IO disable vblank to make it
+load faster (eg. Karateka and Pacman)
