The latest documentation for BeagleSNES can always be found on the project web page at: http://beaglesnes.org/documentation.html

The "BeagleSNES User and Developer Guide" is available for download from that page.  This PDF document explains how to download, install, and configure BeagleSNES, provides information on how to build individual components of the system, and gives an overview of how those components work. If you need to know it, it is in the guide. Download it and read it!
