This is a Black Tiger / Black Dragon - Arcade emulator for the GBA.

Now put blktiger.zip/blkdrgon.zip into a folder where you have arcade roms.

When the emulator starts, you can press L+R to open up the menu (the emulator tries to load Black Tiger automagically on startup). Now you can use the cross to navigate the menus, A to select an option, B to go back a step.

Some dumb info about the game and emulator...

Put the GBA into sleepmode. START+SELECT wakes up from sleep mode (activated from this menu or from 5/10/30 minutes of inactivity).

Restart game.

Huge thanks to Loopy for the incredible PocketNES, without it this emu would
probably never have been made.
Thanks to:
Dwedit for help and inspiration with a lot of things.
Reesy for help with the Z80 emu core.
