+1) General
+   -------
+
+Pcsx is a PSX emulator. What that really means? It means that it emulates the
+way that a PSX works and tries to translate PSX machine language to PC language.
+That is very hard to be done and we can't speak for 100% success in any time.
+The hardware would always be better than the software so if you wanna play games
+then better get a real PSX. Pcsx is capable to run many games, but may others
+don't. We are working on it ;). The members of the team are very advanced coders
+and they will continue the work on the Pcsx as far as they have enough time to
+work on it. Real life comes first and sometimes it is much more demanding.

+
+2) How it works
+   ------------
+
+Steps:
+------
+ 1) Put a bios on bios directory (recommended: scph1001.bin) (optional)
+ 2) Put plugins in plugin directory
+ 3) Open the emu 
+ 4) Configure plugins from configuration menu and Memcards from Mcd Manager
+ 5) Restart
+ 6) Put a cd in your cdrom drive
+ 7) Press Run CD and the game might work ;P
+
+Quick Keys:
+----------
+ F1: Save State
+ F2: Increase State Num
+ F3: Load State
+ F4: Show State-Pic
+ F5: Sio Irq Dis/Enable
+ F6: Black&White Mdecs Dis/Enable
+ F7: Dis/Enable Xa
+ F8: Makes a Snapshot
+ The 2 next keys are only implemented if the cdrom plugin doesn't support
+ the CDRgetStatus interface.
+ F9: Press to simulate an open case (to change cdroms in game)
+ F10: And this to close it
+
+Cpu Options:
+-----------
+ * Disable Xa Decoding:
+    Disables xa sound, if you don't want sound this might
+    speed up a little movies (mostly) and the game itself.
+
+ * Sio Irq Always Enabled:
+    Enable this only when pads or memcards doesn't works,
+    but usually brokes compatibility with them.
+
+ * Spu Irq Always Enabled:
+ 	May help your game to work, but usually doesn't helps.
+ 
+ * Black & White Movies:
+    Speed up for slow machines on movies.
+
+ * Disable CD-DA:
+    Will disable CD audio.
+
+ * Enable Console Output:
+    Displays the psx text output.
+
+ * Enable Interpreter Cpu:
+    Enables interpretive emulation (recomiler by default),
+	it may be more compatible, but it's slower.
+
+ * Psx System Type:
+    Autodetect: Try to autodetect the system.
+    NSTC/PAL: Specify it for yourself.
+
+Internal HLE Bios:
+-----------------
+ If you select this instead of a regular bios (ie. "scph1001.bin")
+ Pcsx will emulate the bios (this might not work in all cases but it is
+ quite advanced), you can try it and see which one works better, notice
+ that the HLE bios might be faster than a regular one and may make some
+ games work better.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+3) Supported Games
+   ---------------
+
+Here is a small list with games that pcsx support. Notice that it might have
+some glitches on sound or gfx but it is considered playable. :)
+
+ Crash Bandicoot 1
+ Time crisis
+ Mickey Wild adventure
+ Coolboarders 3
+ Street fighter EX+a
+ Street fighter EX2 plus
+ Breath of fire 3

+and probably lots more.

+
+4) Troubleshoot
+   ------------
+
+ -QUE: My favourite game doesn't work
+ -AN:  Wait for the next release, or get another emu ;)
+ -QUE: Can I have a bios image?
+ -AN : No
+ -QUE: CD audio is crappy...
+ -AN : If it doesn't work then disable it :)
