From the author
- I am Japanese. I am not good at English language.

Please see "Readme.txt" (It is expected that "About Ootake" will be clicked
from the "Windows Start Menu") about the start method and attention in use,
etc.
- If your personal computer is not fast, push "Light(Fast)" button on the
  option screen (appear with "Option" button under the left after Ootake
  starts). Afterwards, push "Set" button. Then, operation becomes light(
  fast) set. However, the screen might flicker when scrolling because it
  is not V-Sync(vertical synchronization). Therefore, set only the item of
  "V-Sync" (the 3rd from top) to "V-Sync 59-61Hz (Beauty,Default)" after
  pushing "Light(Fast)" button if it is possible.
- If the noise mixes with the sound, please select "Light PSG" of "Volume"
  menu and increase the amount of buffer by "Setting->Audio" menu.
- If the "ZIP file" of rom-image is opened, "UNZIP32.DLL" is necessary.
  -> http://www.csdinc.co.jp/archiver/lib/main-e.html
- The image file that sucked out "CD-ROM2 SYSTEM CARD" is necessary for the
  start of the CD-ROM games. All almost the games start if the system card of
  ver3.01 is used.

To use it more happily
- Please play connecting with a good speaker, and emphasizing the high pitched
  sound. Then, it is possible to play hot by a wavy sound source of PC-Engine
  sounding in the mind.
- It is possible to play hot by using a high-quality JoyPad (one that it is
  easy to operate and the reaction is good) even in action game & shooting
  game.

     Non-Stretched(x1)	done. The size is one time (256x224,352x224 etc.
			different at each game).
			* The size changes according to it if the over
			  scanning area is displayed and if the stretch
			  setting has been changed.
    Readme About Size	Notes of the save size of the screenshot are
			displayed. The content is as follows.
			* If this size setting is set more large than "Screen
			  playing present game", it is saved with the size of
			 "Screen playing present game". Please enlarge the
			  play screen by the "Screen" menu when you want to
			  save it with large size. (This is a specification
			  for the speed valuing.)

          Playing Mode	playing now.
    Special Scanlined	The scanning line is put in the screen on lengthwise
			and crosswise. Neither burr (jaggy) nor scumble stands
			out when the screen is expanded. It is easy to see the
			string and the character.
    TV Mode		The horizontal scanning lines are put on the screen.
			And a few shadeing off is put. As a result, the
			atmosphere of a real machine that outputs the video to
			the television is reproduced. - It is likely not to be
			reproduced well according to the kind of the video
			card.
    Horizontal		The horizontal scanning lines are put on the screen.
    	    Scanlined	This might be the most high-quality at the size of x2.
    Non-Scanlined	This is a screen display that doesn't put the scanning
			line.

  Output WAV File	PSG (wave memory sound + noise sound) can be output to
	       (PSG)	the WAV file. The recording starts when this menu is
			executed. Afterwards, when paused ("Esc" key or mouse
			click), the recording ends. - Whether the Fade Out is
			processed when the recording is ended is asked.
  Output WAV another	"ADPCM voice" or "CD-DA" can be output to the WAV
			file, too. It is possible to record by higher tone
			quality when recording with few channels ("only PSG"
			or "only ADPCM", etc.).
  Setting of
	  Output WAV
    Output WAV Start Normal	It is a setting that usually starts recording.
				It waits automatically in case of a no sound
				until the sound is generated.
    Start at the Next Tune	It is a setting that records "The Next Tune"
				of the tune playing now. At the "hes file",
				"Execute Output menu -> Play next tune" is
				effective to record beautifully.
    -------------------------
    Add "no sound part"		If the "hes file (PCE sound file)" is opened,
      when going to Next Tune	it automatically becomes this mode.
      			(hes)	When the tune is selected with I-button or
      				II-button, the no sound time of 0.5 seconds is
      				inserted. Combine with "Start at the Next
      				Tune" setting (above-mentioned), and it is
      				effective to record beautifully.
    -------------------------
    Add "no sound part"		The "no sound part" is added to beginning(
	     to begin and end	0.5sec) and ending(2sec) of the tune. When
				continuously listening to the WAV file,
				atmosphere is improved. And it becomes easy to
				listen.

*CPU
  Write Memory		While executing PCE(TG16) software, the operation test
			can be done by rewriting the content of memory(RAM,
			ROM) of PCE(TG16).
			The input method of command is
			"<address 6 digits[Hex]>:<value1-255[Dec]>".
			Add "+"(positive sign) at the end of the command if
			you want to keep writing the value (Invincibility
			command etc.).
			Add "0x" before the value if you want to input the
			value by the hexadecimal number.
  Attention
    Read Attention	Notes of "Write Memory" menu are displayed.
      of this		The content is as follows.
       "Write Memory"	- This "Write Memory" menu can be used to execute a
                 Menu	  so-called cheat command. For instance, BGM can be
			  appreciated without being obstructed to the sound
			  effect (attack sound and jump sound, etc.) by using
			  the time limitation release and the invincibility
			  command etc. (Within the range of the personal
			  hobby)
			- On the other hand, a cheat command when using it by
			  "Purpose to clear the game easy" is not recommended.
			  Because, it becomes a game balance that the game
			  production person doesn't intend, and the interest
			  of the game is surely lost. Moreover, it becomes
			  impossible to talk about the work with "person who
			  enjoyed it by normal play". Therefore, I think that
			  playing only by normal-play(non-cheat-play) will be
			  consequentially happy (It can deeply enjoy playing
			  the game).
			- "GAME OVER" should be welcome. Even if it cannot be
			  cleared, the game is happy. I think that it is a
			  most wonderful point of games (especially, in the
			  retro games). Personally, if you can use this menu
			  in the purpose of the research and development, I am
			  glad.

  Normal RasterTiming	This is a normal setting. [BackSpace] key is shortcut
  		 [BS]	key of this. * In a part of game, it becomes not
  		        "Normal" but the best set.
  Late RasterTiming	When this is selected when there is a flicker in the
			division scroll, it is likely to become beautiful.

			your personal computer environment.
  CD-ROM
    Start Fast CD	When the game starts, it starts in the "Fast CD" mode.
    Start Real		When the game starts, it starts with the check on
    	   (Slow)CD	"Fast CD" removed. The access wait at the real machine
			level enters.
    Start Previous	The previous setting of "Fast CD" is used.
    -----------------
    Start FastSeek	When the game starts, it starts in the "FastSeek"
			mode. When a fast CD drive is used, the time of the CD
			seek is shortened.
    Start NormalSeek	When the game starts, it starts in the "NormalSeek"
			mode.
    Start Previous	The previous setting of "FastSeek" is used.
  CPU
    Auto Improve	When "Gradius II" is started, it starts in the mode (
      Graphics & Sound	tip that starts while pushing the down-key of JoyPad#2
	  (Gradius II)	with a real machine) to which the laser doesn't
			flicker automatically. Moreover, the sound effect is
			set to the stereo.
			If this setting is changed while playing, the setting
			is reflected after resets([F1]key) Ootake.
			If soft reset (SELECT+RUN button) is done after it
			starts, it becomes a normal start (flicker mode &
			monaural setting).
    Auto Reduce Bug	When "Shin Megami Tensei" is started, the drawing bug
     (Shin Megami	problem(happens with a real machine similarly) is
	       Tensei)	solved(reduced).
    ------------------
    Start Draw		When the game starts, it starts with the check on
	   AllSprites	"Perform SpriteLimit" removed. Sprite doesn't flicker.
    Start Perform	When the game starts, it starts in the "Perform
    	   SpriteLimit	SpriteLimit" mode.
    Start Previous	The previous setting of "Perform SpriteLimit" is used.
  Input
    Check Pad LR (or	When this check is marked, when playing with a
    UD) Simultaneously	keyboard, if Right-Key and Left-Key (Or, Up-Key and
                  Push  Down-Key) is pressed at the same time, only "Direction
			pushed at the end" is input. As a result, the action
			game play with the keyboard became smooth (Especially,
			at right and left turn move etc.). (Default)
  Tool
    Show Debug Window	"Window to debug software" is displayed. It is a
		 [F4]	function for the developer. (About the usage, read
			"Debug.c" of the source file.)
    TG16 ROM-image	"TurboGrafx16's Rom-image" with the sucking out
           Bit Convert	machine for Japan (Data has taken the shape at this
			stage) is output correcting it.
			The corrected file is preserved in "install" folder,
			and move properly.
			- The preserved image-file becomes a breach of the
			  Copyright Act when distributing it to the other.
			  Therefore, please treat carefully.
  --------------------
  Hide Menu		If this check was removed, the menu is always
			displayed while the game is operating.
			- At full-screen, the menu is always automatically
			  hidden.
  Hide Message		When this check is put, the system message is not
			displayed on the screen. - At the window mode, the
			message is displayed in the caption.
  --------------------
  Priority High		Because BGM doesn't fall into disorder easily and
			operation is steady, the operation priority of Ootake
			in the Windows application is raised. This setting is
			recommended usually. (default)
  Priority Low		If you want to give priority to other background
			Windows applications, select this.
  --------------------
  All Default		
    Return to default	All the settings return to the setting of default.
         All Settings	"Ootake" that chooses this menu is closed. Start again
			afterwards.

*Screen
  x1			It displays it by one time size
			(display part 299x224).
  x2			It displays it by twice size
			(display part 598x448).
  x3			It displays it by three times size
			(display part 897x672).
  x4			It displays it by four times size
			(display part 1196x896).
			- At full-screen, the resolution changes. The setting
			  is separately memorized at the window and
			  full-screen.
  -------------------
  Disable Aero		With Windows7/Vista, "Windows Aero (desktop that can
  	  (Recommend)	be transparently processed etc.)" is invalidated. As a
			result, the delay of the display disappears.
			This is strongly recommended. Because the reaction
			when the JoyPad is operated is good. (Default)
			- When Ootake is closed, Aero returns to the original
			  condition automatically.
  Use Aero		With Windows7/Vista, "Windows Aero (desktop that can
    (Time-Lag exists)	be transparently processed etc.)" is made effective.
			However, the display delay of some frames happens.
			As a result, the reaction after the joy pad is
			operated is delayed.
			In the Action and Shooting game, it greatly influences
			the interest of the game (and your score). Therefore,
			I recommend play by invaliding Aero.
			- When switching to full-screen, the automatic
			  operation makes aero invalid.
			- This setting is always invalid when using it with
			  WindowsXP and former Windows.
  -------------------
  Mode
    Special Scanlined	The scanning line is put in the screen on lengthwise
			and crosswise. Neither burr (jaggy) nor scumble stands
			out when the screen is expanded. It is easy to see the
			string and the character.
    TV Mode		The horizontal scanning lines are put on the screen.
			And a few shadeing off is put. As a result, the
			atmosphere of a real machine that outputs the video to
			the television is reproduced. - Processing lightens
			more than "Scanlined" and "Non-Scanlined" because
			processing is done with hardware. It is likely not to
			be reproduced well according to the kind of the video
			card.
    Horizontal		
    	    Scanlined	The horizontal scanning lines are put on the screen.
    Non-Scanlined	This is a screen display that doesn't put the scanning
			line.
  TV Mode [Ctrl+F11]	When the check is removed, it temporarily changes into
			RGB-Mode("Special Scanlined"). It returns to former
			setting when start next or other games are opened.
			- Already at "Special Scanlined" or "Horizontal
			  Scanlined" mode, it switches into "TV Mode"
			  oppositely.
  Scanline Density
    Scanline Density	The density in the scanning line part is set. "0%" is
               0%-80%	jet-black scanning lines.
			- When the value of this "Scanline Density" is set
			  small, the gamma value is optimized (bright). This
			  can be set at "TV Mode" or "Horizontal Scanlined".
    -----------------
    Optimize Gamma	
  Gamma
    Gamma 0.94 - 1.44	The tone of the screen is changed by setting the gamma
			value. The larger the value is, the gentler color.
			- If Gamma is set small, please set Brightness
			  greatly. (Because it must not become difficult to
			  see the character of the shade part.)
  Brightness		The slight brightness of the screen is changed. The
    Brightness		larger the value is, the brighter.
	   -1 - +30	- The melody falls in some environments when
			  lightening it too much. And it becomes easy to
			  become tired when the game is played.
  MonoColor Mode	If this check is put, it becomes a monochrome screen
			mode. The processing is heavier than usually. If the
			personal computer not fast is used, select "Screen->
			TV Mode" menu (default), and use "FullScreen Mode".
			(Moreover, it has the extra function. Select with
			 [Ctrl] key is pressed, and the Green Display mode can
			 be used.)
  -------------------
  Minimize & Pause	The window is minimized and Ootake stops temporarily.
		[F9]	If you restart, click the Ootake's icon on the
			taskbar.
  -------------------
  FullScreen [F12]	The full-screen mode and the window mode are switched
			mutually. 
  FullScreen 640x480	It switches to the full-screen mode by the resolution
			of 640x480. Use it when you have selected the
			resolution that cannot be used.
  FullScreen Customize
    Set FullScreen	The resolution at full-screen can be arbitrarily set.
          Resolution	The resolution is added to "Screen" menu when setting
                 <1-3>	it. It is possible to set it up to three kinds.
    ------------------
    FullScreen		When the check is put, "display resolution" can be
     Resolution Auto	automatically switched by "resolution of the game (
                Change	width 256,336,512)". * It is a function to use it on
			the display such as 15kHz cathode-ray tubes.
			 256x224 games -> FullScreen Resolution <1>
			 336x224 games -> FullScreen Resolution <2>
			 512x224 games -> FullScreen Resolution <3>
			It switches like the above-mentioned.
  -------------------
  Non-Stretched		The screen is not enlarged. The aspect ratio of the
			screen becomes a display different from the PC engine
			of a real machine. 
  Real Stretched	The aspect ratio of the screen is matched in the state
			to display TV with a real machine. 
  Full Stretched	At full-screen the stretch is done even as for the
			edge of the screen.
			- The image quality falls a little because of the
			  enlargement. At TV-Mode(switch by [Ctrl]+[F11]key),
			  the scanlined display is automatically released (
			  To maintain the image quality).
			(At window-mode this is similar to "Real Stretched".)
  Vertical Stretched	The aspect ratio of the screen is enlarged to the
			portrait. Use it in the length scroll shooting game
			etc.
  -------------------
  Show Overscan Area	When the check is put, over scanning area (part not
		[F11]	seen in edge usual TV of the cathode-ray tube almost)
			is displayed. The details can be set by
			"Overscan Customize" menu (this menu under).
			* When the game is made, the over scanning area
			  assumes the possibility of not seeing it. There is
			  no problem even if it doesn't see it. Therefore, 
			  in some games, the noise image is displayed in the
			  over scanning area.
  Overscan Customize
    Show Overscan	
           Top&Bottom	Top and bottom over scanning area is displayed.
    Show Overscan Top	Only top over scanning area is displayed.
    Show Overscan
               Bottom	Only bottom over scanning area is displayed.
    Show Overscan None	Top and bottom over scanning area is not displayed.
    ------------------
    Overscan Height	The height of top and bottom over scanning area is
             8dot-1dot	set. Use it in the game from which the noise is seen
			in the area.
    ------------------
    Show Overscan	
           Left&Right	Left and right over scanning area is displayed.
    Show Overscan None	Left and right over scanning area is not displayed.
    ------------------
    Overscan Start	The method of setting the over scanning display of
               Setting	default (The game starts) is displayed. It is possible
			to set it by "Setting->Screen" menu.
  -------------------
  Window TopMost	When the check is removed, the display of the window
			on the foremost side is released.

*Audio
  Adjust CD-DA		The timing value of the CD sound (CD-DA and ADPCM) is
            Auto Set	set automatically to match the sound to the picture.
            		The frequency of your display (rewrite frames a second
            		) is measured for that.
            		- The set completion is about 60 seconds. This setting
            		  is OK if it sets it only once first. If you newly
            		  buy a display and a video card of your PC, execute
            		  this menu again.
            		- Set it respectively in the window mode and the
            		  full-screen mode. (The timing value changes by the
            		  display resolution. The setting is individually
            		  preserved.)
			- Ootake also doesn't match to a game to which the
			  sound doesn't match with a real machine.
  -------------------
  Adjust CD-DA		This is a menu that fine-tunes the tempo of CD sound
        V60.2-V59.3Hz	(CD-DA and ADPCM).
			*It is certain to set it automatically by "Adjust
			 CD-DA Auto Set" (above one) menu usually.
			*[Adjusting method]...Please confirm the frequency of
			 the display with Ootake started. The confirm method
			 of the frequency is different each the PC-display.
			 It is thought that there are "Information menu" etc.
			 and select it. Two kinds of frequencies of "H" and
			 "V" are displayed. Select a value that is the closest
			 to the frequency of the "V"(Vertical frequency) at
			 this menu.
			 - The frequency might not be able to be confirmed on
			   the display of the notebook computer. In that case,
			   please look for the best frequency feeling while
			   watching the operation of the game to which the
			   sound shifts (Note that there is a game to which
			   the sound originally shifts with a real machine,
			   too.). Decrease the frequency if the sound is
			   early, and increase the frequency if the sound is
			   delayed.
			 - This setting is separately preserved respectively
			   by the window mode and each resolution of the
			   full-screen mode.
  -------------------
  Adjust CD-DA
          Plus 0.00Hz	This is a setting of default.
  Adjust CD-DA		0.05Hz is added to the frequency set by "Adjust CD-DA"
          Plus 0.05Hz	menu above. Use it when you do a detailed setting.
  -------------------
  CD-DA Delay Frame	Whether how much display delay of the liquid crystal
                 0-4	display of the personal computer exists is set. As a
			result, CD-DA(CD sound source) can be matched to
			graphic timing. (Default = The play timing of CD-DA is
			delayed by two frames.)
			Set it to 0 when you use the cathode-ray tube display
			without the display delay oppositely.
  -------------------
    V-Sync (59-61Hz)	The flicker at screen scrolling etc. doesn't happen. (
			default, recommendation)
			In the environment to which the CD-DA sound source and
			the screen greatly shift, remove the check.
  -------------------
  NormalAudioBuffer	The audio buffer of a usual size is used.
  BigAudioBuffer	The amount of the buffer used when audio (PSG,CDDA,
			ADPCM) is output is enlarged, and the tone quality of
			PSG is improved. The sound is delayed about one
			second. Moreover, rewriting the screen is reduced and
			it concentrates on the sound processing. 
  Most BigAudioBuffer	An amount of the buffer that is much bigger than that
			of "BigAudioBuffer" is prepared, and the tone quality
			of PSG is improved. (The sound becomes a little
			quietly.)
  -------------------
  High Quality PSG	The pronunciation timing of the PSG sound (wave memory
			sound) is delimited in detail. As a result, a tone
			near a real machine is reproduced.
  A Little Light PSG	The pronunciation timing is made a little rough. As a
			result, the load to the personal computer is reduced.
  Light PSG		The reproducibility of the sound falls. However, the
			load to the personal computer is reduced. Select this
			for a personal computer environment not fast.

*Volume
  Temporary Volume
    Normal		Usually. It always returns to Normal when starting.
    3Quarters		The volume is lowered to the three quarters.
    Half		The volume is lowered to the half.
    Quarter		The volume is lowered to the quarter.
    Mute [F8]		It muffles it. [F8]key can be used.
			* When this "Temorary Volume" menu is used, tone
			  quality decreases a little. Using "Volume 100-10"
			  menu (that is below soon) recommends it usually.
  -------------------
  Use Window Default	The Windows volume of default is used. Ootake doesn't
			change the volume of Windows.
  Volume 120-10		The volume of Windows is changed. 120 is the maximum
   [PageUp][PageDown]	volume. It is possible to adjust it quickly also with
			[PageUp] and [PageDown]key of the keyboard.
			* If CD-Game is played, then "Volume 101-120" is the
			  volume equal to 100. (To stop saturation of sound)
			Use the resume ("File->Set Resume" menu), and the best
			volume at each game can be set.
  Step Setting 10-1	The accommodation amplitude of the volume control (
			At [PageUp][PageDown] key or Function Button ("Input->
			Configure Function Button" menu)) is set.
  Detail Volume
    Detail Volume Up
	[Ctrl+PageUp]	The volume of Windows is fine-tuned. It is possible to
    Detail Volume Down	adjust it quickly also with [PageUp] and [PageDown]key
      [Ctrl+PageDown]	while pressing the [Ctrl]key.
  Attention
    Read Attention of	It is a disclaimer for the "Windows Volume". Please
     this Volume Menu	read before changing the volume of Windows.
    -----------------
    Start "Windows	"Windows Volume Control" starts. If Ootake terminates
      Volume Control"	abnormally by any chance, the Windows WAVE volume can
			be adjusted by starting this. In that case, it is
			asked whether to shut Ootake. Please close Ootake, and
			adjust the Windows WAVE volume.
  -------------------
  Mute PSG
    Mute PSG		Each channel of the PSG sound source can be muffled.
	  Channe 1-6	At the Output WAV file, use it when you want to cut
			the shot sound or the jump sound, etc.
    -----------------
    Mute PSG		All PSG channels (1-6) are muffled.
	  Channe All	After this, use "Mute PSG Channe 1-6" menu. And what
  			sound the channel plays can be confirmed. 
    Unmute PSG		Muffling all PSG channels (1-6) is released.
	  Channe All	* Muffling each channel is automatically released by
			  changing the game, or resetting it (F1 key).
  -------------------
  Balance Setting	The balance of the volume is set. Master,PSG,ADPCM,
			CD-DA. Each balance can be set. Nearing to 100 falls
			and tone quality doesn't fall.
  Balance Default	The balance of the volume is returned to the default
			setting. 

*Speed
  Normal Video Speed	It is a PC engine real machine and most is the same
	  [BackSpace]	speed of Video.
  Video Speed		The progress speed (Video Speed) of the game can be
  x0.50-1.83   [Home]	adjusted. Use it when you want to play RPG that
	       [End]	walking is slow, and the action game with high
			difficulty, or more. When the "Always VideoSpeedUp"
			menu is selected, the speed is reflected at once.
			When the "Use VSpeedUp Button" menu is selected, the
			speed is reflected only while the button for
			fast-forwarding (set it by "Configure VSpeedUp Button"
			menu.) is being pressed.
			- The music of a built-in sound source might become
			  fast according to the game, too. If CPU power of
			  your personal computer is insufficient, it slows
			  oppositely. (It lightens comparatively when setting
			  to "FullScreen" mode.)
  -------------------
  Always VideoSpeedUp	It operates at the speed always selected by
	     [Insert]	"Video Speed". - If the button for fast-forwarding is
			pressed, it becomes a normal speed.
  Use VSpeedUp Button	The Video speed improves only when the button for
	     [Insert]	fast-forwarding is pressed. - If pressing while
			setting it slowly (less than 1.00 times), it becomes a
			normal speed.
  -------------------
  Configure VSpeedUp
	       Button	The button (or, key) for fast-forwarding is set.
  -------------------
  CPU Speed
    Normal CPU Speed	It is a PC engine real machine and most is the same
	 [BackSpace]	speed of CPU.
    CPU Speed		CPU operation clock of PC engine is raised to each
	 x0.50-3.00	magnification, and the speed improves. 
			The problem such as not suitable for the picture of
			the voice of the visual scene when it is too fast
			might happen.
			In the "Simulation Game" or "Slow Motion happens
			Game", Speed up is effective.
			- With a slow personal computer, the frame drops when
			  the speed is increased too much.
    CPU Speed		The clock doesn't change, and CPU processing of
	   TURBOx1-3	"PC Engine" is speed up. The load that hangs in the
			personal computer is less than the clock improves.
			The problem of the raster scroll might happen.
			The speed, "TURBOx1" is the same as about "x2.00",
			"TURBOx2" is the same as about "x4.00", "TURBOx3" is
			the same as about "x6.00".
    ----------------
    Set Present		The speed often used is set to the [Delete]key.
       Speed to		After sets, the speed and a normal speed can be
         [Delete]key	switched by pushing the [Delete]key.
			Regardless of the setting, the speed can be increased
			with the [Delete]key while pressing the [Shift]key.
			And, can be downed with the [Delete] key while
			pressing the [Ctrl]key.
  ------------------
  Unload Speed		The setting of VideoSpeedUp and CpuSpeedUp is not
        at LoadState	loaded at the time of the LoadState. (Default. This
			prepared for the case to mistake-push the speed change
			shortcut key([Home][End][Delete])).
  Load Speed		The setting of VideoSpeedUp and CpuSpeedUp is loaded(
        at LoadState	reflected) at the time of the LoadState. If the resume
			mode("File->Set Resume" menu) is used, use this to
			preserve the speed setting.
  ------------------
  Fast CD		Waiting time is not put in the access to CD-ROM, and
			it does by an access that is faster than a real
			machine. In the game that uses the access waiting time
			for the time work, remove this check. 
  Fast Seek		When a fast CD drive is used, the time of the CD seek
			is shortened. - When CD drive not fast is used, the
			noise might mix with a built-in sound source at the CD
			seek. In that case, leave the check removed (default).
  ------------------
  Help			The explanation of notes of the speedup (the same
			content as the above-mentioned) and shortcut keys
			(Insert, Home, End, Delete, and BackSpace key) is
			displayed.

*Input
  TurboButton I [1]	The auto fire function of "I" button is set or is
			reset.

			  "Non-TurboButton".
  Initialize Pad #1-#5	The setting of the pad is initialized and returns to
			the state of default. 
  -------------------
  Configure
      Function Button
    Configure		"Function button" is set. "Function Button" is a
      Function Button	button to use a lot of functions with a Joypad. The
			following function can be used.
    -----------------
    FuncButton +	When [UP] or [DOWN] of a Joypad cursor key is pushed
     [U][D][L][R] for	while pressing the Function Button, the volume can be
               Volume	adjusted. Moreover, when [RIGHT] or [LEFT] of a Joypad

    Configure		"Save&LoadState button for Function Button" is set.
      Function		When this set button is pushed while pressing the
         Save&Load	Function Button, SaveState or LoadState can be done.
              Buttons	(This is the same function as time when [S][L] of a
			keyboard is pushed.) If you want to invalidate this
			button, push the [F1] key at the button setting
    			screen.
  -------------------
  Joypad		If the check is put (default), even when there is
      Background Ok	a focus at other windows application the joypad
			operation is accepted.
  Keyboard		If the check is put, even when there is a focus at
      Background Ok	other windows application the keyboard operation (
			*only key allocated to the controller) is accepted.

*Info
  Show FPS		If the check is put, "Frame Rate (frames displayed per
			one second)" is displayed on the screen(left-bottom).
			When the personal computer is an enough speed, this
			keeps almost 60(occasional 59).
			When this frequently falls below 60, the processing
			speed of the personal computer is insufficient. In
			that case, please lighten the setting(FullScreen[F12]
			or "Volume->Light PSG" menu).
  PC Performance Test	Whether Ootake operates comfortably without the
			processing delay is checked.
			If "<<< Bad Condition [x]! >>>" is displayed, the
			processing delay has occurred. In that case, the
			trouble (in the game) might occur because the disk
			access timing is late when playing "CD-Game".
			- The test result is displayed based on the emulator
			  operation of "5 seconds immediately before the test
			  is executed".
			The weight of processing (test result) is considerably
			different according to the game and the scene. Test
			several times by a different scene.
			I will recommend comfortable play with the personal
			computer that always operates by "Good Condition".
