 AAhead Shell 0.1.0
 A curated game launcher for the Anbernic R36S (and Linux handhelds)
 https://aahead.site/r36s/
==========================================================================

WHAT IT IS
  AAhead Shell replaces the "wall of 20,000 ROMs" with a calm, console-grade
  front-end. It sits on top of RetroArch and gives the R36S a real "face":
  a Home screen with Continue Playing and a curated library, per-game cover
  art, editorial descriptions, curated cheats, display presets, and save-state
  browsing - the machine kept hidden, the games brought forward.

WHAT IT DOES
  - Home / Library / Search / Discover navigation.
  - Curated catalog with per-game art and descriptions.
  - Assist: curated, per-game cheat toggles, injected into RetroArch.
  - Display presets: per-system aspect, integer scaling, shader overlays.
  - Save-state browsing and slot selection.
  - Device tools: Wi-Fi, backup to a second SD card, power profiles.
  - Systems: SNES, Genesis/Mega Drive, PS1, N64, Saturn, Dreamcast,
    Sega CD / 32X, and more.

REQUIREMENTS
  Anbernic R36S running ArkOS / dArkOS with PortMaster installed.
  640x480 screen.

INSTALL
  1. Download AAhead-Shell-R36S-v0.1.0.zip and unzip it.
  2. Copy the contents of the "ports" folder onto the ROMS / EASYROMS
     partition of your SD card, so you end up with:
         ports/AAhead.sh
         ports/aahead/        (the shell + its catalog)
  3. Eject the card, boot the R36S, and launch "AAhead" from the
     Ports / Tools menu in EmulationStation.

  Your own saves and play history live in the card's own library/ folder
  and are never overwritten by an install.

NOTES
  - First boot scans your installed games and matches them to the catalog;
    games with no art still appear, just without a cover.
  - This is the first public build. On-device testing is ongoing; please
    keep a backup of your card before installing.
