 NOTES
 
 - For technical reason, this application need the Android 5.0 (API 21).
 - The Help menu displays Emu42's original help HTML page and may not accurately reflect the behavior of this Android version.
 - When using a custom KML script by selecting a folder (Not the folder Download for Android 11), you must take care of the case sensitivity of its dependency files.
-- This Emulator does not include the ROM files or the KML files.
 - To speed up printing, set the 'delay' to 0 in the calculator's print options.

 - The render pixels are very nice. A solution to obtain uniform pixel size could be a preset (a multiplier, auto) so the user could decide and upscale/downscale (Michael P).
 - In Autozoom mode, I could add a button which switches to the other half of the faceplate (Comments from @Nick and @Jean-Marc)
-- Try to include the KML files without the ROMs.
 - Sometimes, the calculator seems to lag and finally freeze.
 - In drawPixelBorder(), use canvas.drawLines() instead of multiple canvas.drawLine() to save CPU.
