This is a Watara/QuickShot Supervision emulator for the Nintendo GBA.
There is no builder included in the release yet. The header is defined in Emubase.h, it's 64 bytes long, the size field is in little endian, the 32bit id is 0x1A565357 (LE). The name field can be 31 bytes plus a terminating zero. There is an example header file included, "Supervision.header".
When the emulator starts, you press L+R to open up the menu. Now you can use the cross to navigate the menus, A to select an option, B to go back a step.
