###Why 'Provenance'?

I was looking for a word with a similar meaning to Genesis and came across Provenance:

prov·e·nance
/ˈprävənəns/
Noun

1. The place of origin or earliest known history of something: "a rug of Iranian provenance".
2. The beginning of something's existence; something's origin.

##Features

• Stereo sound
• OpenGL based rendering, never drops below 60fps

iOS Specific features:

• All current generation iOS devices supported with iOS 8
• Configurable on-screen controls
  • Position them how you like, and adjust their opacity so they don't get in your way
  • iOS game controller support (needs more generalised implementation)

  • Download a ROM using Mobile Safari and import it into Provenance
• iTunes File Sharing
  • Just drop ROMs into the app from iTunes on your Mac or PC
