-Ported by SDLEMU (Niels Wagenaar & Carwin Jones) and is based upon the
-original work by David Raingeard of Potato Emulation. For requirements please

-your dog, it might do other nasty things. We can't be held responsible for
-damage done to your hardware and/or software. You may only use the ROM images
-if you own the cartridges itself. The use of commercial ROMs without owning the
-original cartridge is illegal in most countries and could result in fines
-and/or legal actions.

-- IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT JAGUAR FILE FORMATS--READ THIS OR ELSE! -
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-There seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding the various file formats that
-Jaguar programs come in, and a lot of this confusion seem to come from
-Cowering's GoodJag renaming tool. Note that it simply gets some files wrong,
-and it also incorrectly renames cartridge images with an extension that
-belongs to an already established extension (.jag is a Jaguar Server
-executable--read on). To clarify, there are basically fith major types of
-Jaguar binary images that are NOT cartridge images:
-
- .abs
- .jag
- .rom
- .bin
- .elf
-
-The first type, the .abs file, is a DRI/Alcyon format absolute location
-executable. These come in two different flavors and contain load and run
-addresses in their headers. Note that some files which have an .abs extension
-are really incorrectly labelled .bin files with no header information
-whatsoever.
-
-The second type, the .jag file, is a Jaguar Server executable. These files
-contain header information that tells you where to load and run the file's
-executable code. Note that as of this writing (8/5/2005) that the GoodJag ROM
-renaming tool by Cowering incorrectly renames Jaguar cartridge ROM dumps to
-have a .jag extension (a better choice, and the one supported by Virtual
-Jaguar, is .j64)--if you're trying to run a ROM image with a .jag extension on
-VJ, it will misinterpret it as a Jaguar Server executable and likely fail to
-run.
-
-The third type, the .rom file, is an Alpine Board/ROM Image file. These files
-have no header, but are known to load and run at $802000 in the Jaguar memory
-space. Again, these are *different* from cartridge dumps since they load at a
-higher address than a Jaguar cartridge.
-
-The fourth type, the .bin file, is simply a Jaguar executable with no header.
-Since these files contain no information about where they load and execute,
-Virtual Jaguar does not support this file type. Go bug the author to release
-either a file with proper headers or a file in Alpine ROM format. Virtual
-Jaguar is not omniscient (yet)! ;)
-
-The fifth type, the .elf file, is a Jaguar executable with ELF headers, with
-or without DWARF information.
-
-There is a sith type of file that is supported by Virtual Jaguar, the .j64
-file, which is simply a 1, 2, or 4 Meg dump of a Jaguar cartridge ROM which
-loads at $800000 in the Jaguar memory space.

-- What is Virtual Jaguar GCC/Qt? -
-----------------------------------
-
-Virtual Jaguar is software dedicated to emulating the Atari Jaguar hardware on
-a standard PC. The software was originally developed by David Raingeard of
-Potato Emulation [http://potato.emu-france.com] and was released under the GPL
-on 25 June 2003.
-
-Virtual Jaguar GCC/Qt is not just a port of the MS Visual C++/SDL sourcecode
-but has also been extended and rewritten so that we can enjoy Atari Jaguar
-emulation on every platform that has a GCC compiler and a port of Qt.
-
-Currently Virtual Jaguar GCC/Qt Rx compiles on WIN64 using msys2/MinGW64,
-and Visual Studio 2015. Compiles also on cygwin64 but no tests have been done.
-It has previously compiled on WIN32 using mingw, and several UN*X based systems
-(BeOS, Linux, FreeBSD and MacOS). It may run on other
-systems as well but we can not guarantee that.
-
-The Rx version has been made specically to add a debugger support, but some
-modifications have been done as well. The official contact email and name(s) are
-not related in any way with this work.
-
-The port was done by the SDLEMU crew (http://sdlemu.ngemu.com) and especially
-by Niels Wagenaar and Carwin Jones. A major portion of the rewrite was done by
-James Hammons. You may contact us by e-mail (sdlemu@ngemu.com) or leave a
-message on the SDLEMU Official Forum (see the website). Patches and bugfixes
-are particularly welcome! :)
-
-More information about the incredible SDL libraries can be found at
-http://www.libsdl.org. Thanks Sam--you rock! :)

-- Using Virtual Jaguar GCC/Qt -
--------------------------------
-
-Simply double click on the Virtual Jaguar icon or type ./virtualjaguar -h from
-the command line. See the built in help (under Help|Contents) for more
-information on how to use it. :-)

-
-If you find bugs, enhance the code or simply have questions, drop us an e-mail
-at sdlemu AT ngemu DOT com or drop a message on the SDLEMU Official Forum.
-
-More information about this project (releases/WIP) can be found at the official
-Virtual Jaguar website [http://www.icculus.org/virtualjaguar] and on the SDLEMU
-website [http://sdlemu.ngemu.com].
-
-We hope you enjoy the emulator and will use it wisely!
-
-Thanks go to guys over at ngemu.com and #ngemu (EFNET). Thanks also to David
-Raingeard of Potato Emulation who originally developed this emulator and
-released the sources to the public. We couldn't have done it without you!
-
-Special thanks go to everyone who submitted good, detailed bug reports,
-sometimes with demonstration code(!); your help has helped to make Virtual
-Jaguar better, more accurate, and more polished than it would be otherwise. We
-really appreciate your help!
