+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 into native code), 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 
+recompilation into native code. However, the dynamic translation system 
+used in GXemul does NOT generate native code, and thus doesn't require 
+platform-specific back-ends. In plain English, this means that the 
+dyntrans system works on any host platform.
