>>>> GAME MUSIC GEAR MX

>> INTRO 

>  GameMusicGear~MX is an upgrade from the old GameMusicGear.
   It's a multiformat music player designed with video game
   music in mind.

>  It's based on some popular multiformat players like 
   the xmms, winamp and oldplay for the gp32.
   

>> FEATURES

>  GMG_MX uses a new plugin system.  There are three types of 
   plugins.  Input Plugins for audio decoding (like mp3 plugin, 
   spc plugin, etc), Output Plugins to encode audio to another
   format, and the Visual Plugins for music visualization, lyrics 
   display, etc. Very similar to the winamp plugins.
   
   Each plugin consist of a config file (.plugin) and a module
   file (.prx).  And can be replaced or removed if you want to 
   upgrade or disable a plugin.
   
>  Custom Skin Support - Please read the skins.README and see the skins found 
   in the skins folder if you want to make a new one.
   
>  Mini Visualizer - There are two mini visualizers available, spectrum
   and wave, inspired by the ones found in winamp.
   
>  Chinnese GBK, BMP, TrueType and pgf font support, with LATIN and UTF8 support.

>  Zip, Rar, 7zip and gzip files support through the File_Extractor library by
   Shay Green.  Rar and 7zip support is only available on the PSP Slim due
   to memory requirements.

>  In game configuration screen.

>  Control keys configuration - You can configure it through the 
   config menu, or you can do it manually editing the 'keys' file.
   
>  Three levels of audio output amplification, configured in  
   each plugin config file.
   
>  Built in 10 Band Real Time Equalizer with presets support.
   
   
>> CONTROLS CONFIGURATION

This is the default controls configuration.
Note: Since Version 1.0 there are some changes in the app's behavior with 
      the addition of a separate file browser. 
	  Since the file browser uses fixed control keys, there are some
	  restrictions in the control configurations.
