643b3a798f Updated README.md, added firmware version checking tool
Updated CFW FAQ with the latest details. Corrected a detail about the relationship between arcade `.zfb` files and the `.zip` files they point to (thanks `.ericgoldstein`!). Added a note to the Firmware section about the official firmware update process wiping the microSD card, and a note to the Save States section about how to back up game saves (thanks for the suggestion @uli42! Closes #10). Added a simple firmware version checking tool, so that folks don't have to use the boot logo changer to check (which always seemed clunky to me). Added a link to `dteyn`'s silent sounds pack. Fixed some small typos.

f650ab0712 Update README.md
Updated CFW FAQ with the latest details. Added some additional references to Tadpole, and added credits for `jasongrieves_02643` who has been doing a lot of recent development work on the tool lately. Updated the CPU section to reference the fact that the CPU clock has been increased in the latest firmware. Added links to `iq_132`'s Bluetooth mod. Added a section about the `.zfb` files used in the arcade section. Rearranged the details in the Bootloader Bug section to hopefully make things a bit clearer.

A tiny pointless change so I can see if pushing it unborks my Github account and/or this repo

cc79b8e057 Update README.md
Updated the "quiet A/V sound" FAQ with details about the fix in the `08.03`/`1.6V` firmware. Updated the "in game saves don't work" FAQ with details about this apparently being fixed for GBA in the `08.03`/`1.6V` firmware.

6fea9a3dc0 Update README.md
Added a `MicroSD Card` section to `Hardware` to provide some detail about the SF2000's slightly unusual microSD card situation. Added detail about the `Neo Geo Unibios Menu` discovery to the `Arcade` section (thanks `nanchon18#2262`!). Updated the custom firmware FAQ with the latest details. Updated the "what modding can I do" FAQ to strongly suggest fixing the bootloader bug before doing any other modding to the device; also added a note that the Tadpole tool can perform a lot of the modding tasks. Added a note to the `Battery` section about the SF2000's poorly calibrated power monitoring curve, along with a link to `dteyn`'s SF2000 Battery Level Patcher script (also added a link to that in the `Tools and Links` section). Data Frog has now officially released the `August 3rd`/`08.03`/`1.6V` firmware, so added that to the `Firmware` section; also updated all of the tables in the `Resources` section to include the new firmware. Finally, renamed this `Version History` section to `Document Version History`, to help prevent any confusion in regards to what the version numbers in this section refer to (they're not related to firmware).

Updated the custom firmware FAQ answer with the latest progress notes.

Just removing some formatting from headers; the HTML IDs being generated by the Github theme don't match the format being generated by my IDE for the TOC, breaking the links. This is why we can't have anything nice.

6f1607056b Updated NES default ROM details

Added a new tool, the Generic Image Tool - allows you to convert SF2000 images to PNG, and PNG/JPEG images to SF2000 formats with several options.

Also added a large amount of arcade-specific information thanks to some heroic work by `adcockm#8175`, fixed some typos thanks to `Luke#4448`, and tracked down where an "unused" image was actually being used thanks to `kid_sinn#9691`
