HOW TO USE
----------

SCHIP8-FX is a program that emulates the CHIP-8 and the Super CHIP-8 system on your fx-9860. You will be
able to play such classics like Pong, Space Invaders, Missile Defense, etc. To use this add-in you need:

* FA-124 - You may download it off here: http://world.casio.com/edu/resources/fa124/index.html

Keys:

* During starting upon the program, press [OPTN] and use the LEFT and RIGHT keys to select delay. Press
  [EXE] to exit out of the Delay window.
* You can also change the delay while playing in the game. Press the LEFT key for shorter delay and press
  the RIGHT key for a longer delay.
* [SHIFT] - While browsing for programs, press [SHIFT] to display the next window to show another list of files.
* Pressing [SHIFT] DURING a game (NOT in the file browser) does a virtual CHIP-8 system RESET. This is useful
  for when a game calls an illegal address in the memory and hangs up the emulator like TANK and BREAKOUT.
* [MENU] - You can pause the emulator by pressing [MENU]. While in PAUSE, you can exit the emulator by pressing
  pressing MENU again. Pressing any other key while in PAUSE mode takes you back into the game.

The original CHIP-8 systems used a hex keypad in this format:

[1] [2] [3] [C]
[4] [5] [6] [D]
[7] [8] [9] [E]
[A] [0] [B] [F]

Those keys are mapped in the same order on the fx-9860 and are placed on these keys:
[7] [8] [9] [DEL]
[4] [5] [6] [x]
[1] [2] [3] [+]
[0] [.] [EXP] [(-)]

To use the emulator, simply download the program (using FA-124) and games into STORAGE memory. Please 
make sure that both the programs and games are in the same path, otherwise the emulator won't see them.
Please be aware that the emulator will only notice the programs if it has a *.CH8 suffix. Otherwise, the
emulator won't see your games.
