 Overview
 --------
 
-GXemul is an experimental instruction-level machine emulator. It can be used to
-run binary code for MIPS-based machines, regardless of host platform. Several
-emulation modes are available. For some modes, processors and surrounding
+GXemul is an experimental instruction-level machine emulator. Several
+emulation modes are available. In some modes, processors and surrounding
 hardware components are emulated well enough to let unmodified operating
 systems (e.g. NetBSD) run as if they were running on a real machine.
 
-(Non-MIPS emulation modes are also under development, but so far none of those
-modes has reached the completeness required to run unmodified operating
-systems.)
+MIPS processors are emulated using either a simple binary translation 
+layer ("recompilation"), which is used on Alpha and i386 hosts, or by 
+traditional interpretation (very very slow, but works on any host platform).
+
+ARM and PowerPC processors are emulated using a newer dynamic translation
+system. Performance is somewhere between traditional interpretation and
+dynamic recompilation; however, the dynamic translation system used in
+GXemul does NOT require platform-specific back-end code. In plain English,
+this means that the dyntrans system works on any host platform.
+
+(PowerPC emulation is still relatively new in 0.3.7, so dont't expect too 
+much from it.)
