ApeEscapeRecomp - Ape Escape, recompiled
========================================

WHAT YOU NEED
  Your own Ape Escape (USA, SCUS-94423) disc image. A .cue + .bin pair is
  preferred; pick the .cue when both are present. The disc is NOT included.

  A PlayStation BIOS is NOT required. This package bundles the MIT-licensed
  OpenBIOS from PCSX-Redux (bios/openbios.bin, notice in bios/OpenBIOS.LICENSE).
  You may optionally select your own legally obtained SCPH1001.BIN instead.

FIRST RUN
  1. Launch ApeEscapeRecomp.exe. The launcher window opens.
  2. Set the Disc row to your Ape Escape image.
  3. Optionally visit Mods for the Ape-specific bundled enhancements:
     Widescreen, Frame Smoothing, Skip FMVs, and Quick Gadget Select. Frame
     Smoothing is temporal blending, not motion-vector frame generation. Quick
     Gadget Select was contributed by mthsk.
  4. Press Launch. Your choices are remembered for next time.

SAVE STATES AND REWIND
  Save states and rewind are available through the launcher hotkeys. Defaults:
  F7 opens the save-state menu and F8 rewinds. Memory cards, save states, and
  rewind data are stored under saves/.

WHERE THINGS LIVE
  saves/     memory cards, save states, and rewind metadata
  cache/     converted native code, grows as you play
  mods/      bundled and user-installed mod packages
  input.ini  controller mapping (yours after first launch)

PRIVACY NOTE
  overlay_captures.json and the cache folder contain code converted from
  YOUR disc. Do not redistribute them.

TROUBLESHOOTING
  Slow performance: lower Supersampling to 1 in the launcher.
  Controller not detected: check input.ini, or use the launcher's controller
  row to pick the device.
