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.

+- Using Virtual Jaguar GCC/Qt -
+-------------------------------
After compiling the binary (see INSTALL) you can now run original Atari Jaguar
games. These games are distributed on cartridges and can therefore cannot be
used on a PC (we're still waiting for that Jaguar-on-a-PCI-card that you plug
into your late model PC, complete with cartridge slot and controller connectors
-;-). To use these games on Virtual Jaguar GCC/SDL you need to get ROM images.
-Besides the ROM images from commercial games, you may also need to obtain the
-Atari Jaguar boot ROM (and/or CD boot ROM) which you must copy to the BIOS
-directory. For legal issues concerning ROM images please consult the DISCLAIMER
-at the beginning of this file.
