Winston Weinert 8a8f9b31d2 Delete trailing whitespace 
In #526 I accidentally lost some of my edits trying to selectively
stage lines with typo fixes, while deleting hunks that were only
whitespace changes. In hopes nobody else falls into this trap, I ran
the following command to find all the files to edit, and apply emacs's
delete-trailing-whitespace function to each file.

```sh
find * -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -P$(nproc) -n1 -I{} sh -c 'if file -b "{}" | grep -qFi text; then emacs -batch "{}" -f delete-trailing-whitespace -f save-buffer; fi'
```

Note: `git add -u` will add only known paths to the stage (index),
even if `tidy.sh` exists in the git work directory.

Although PCSX ReARMed comes with built-in HLE BIOS code, you're recommended
to still put BIOS files in the system directory (on Android there is no
'system directory', so instead you put the BIOS files in the same directory

Some of the BIOS files used are: scph1001.bin, scph5500.bin, scph5501.bin,
scph5502.bin, scph7502.bin.

Your mileage may vary on slower devices.

\begin_layout Itemize
You need to have prboom.wad in the same directory as the Doom WAD file you're
going to load.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Savestates are currently not hooked up, and therefore rewind is not possible.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Re-entrancy does not work correctly yet - don't try to load a second WAD
file.
Instead, exit prboom first and then launch it again (only applies to consoles).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
This is the only Doom port in existence right now where you have the option
to play at variable framerates.
The option exists to play at 35, 40, 50 and 60fps.
Doom originally ran at 35fps due to performance reasons and the slow CPUs
available at the time.

Because Wonderswan has a 75Hz refresh rate, V-sync is specifically disabled
for this core so that the framerate and sound is as it should be - that's
why you might notice some negligible tearing.
