Description:

  Amico8 is a PICO-8 fantasy console emulator for Amiga computers with a
  68020 or better processor.  It loads and runs PICO-8 cartridges in
  both text (.p8) and image (.p8.png) format directly from the Amiga
  file system.

  Features:
  - Runs many PICO-8 cartridges (.p8 and .p8.png) without modification
  - Full 128x128 pixel display, 2x scaled to 256x256 via Amiga copper tricks
  - 16-colour PICO-8 palette mapped to Amiga 12-bit hardware palette
  - Joystick (port 2) and keyboard input
  - Mouse support (port 1) for carts that use mouse API
  - Paula audio: triangle, sawtooth, square, pulse, organ, noise waveforms
  - AOT (Ahead-of-Time) native code compiler for Lua numeric functions

  Two executables are provided:

    Amico8      - 68020/030 version, no FPU required.
                  Runs on any Amiga with a 68020 or better.

    Amico8_040  - 68040/060 version, requires FPU.
                  Takes advantage of 040/060 instruction scheduling.

  Recommended processor: 68060.

  Usage:
    Amico8 - start with GUI! (recommended)

    or

    Amico8 [CART] [NOSOUND] [SHOWFPS] [FRAMESKIP <n>]

  Limitations:
  - Some newer PICO-8 API calls may not be implemented
  - Sound effects and music play, but advanced effects (vibrato, slide,
    arpeggio) are not yet implemented
