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
message on the SDLEMU Official Forum (see the website). Patches and bugfixes
are particularly welcome! :)

- Using Virtual Jaguar GCC/SDL -
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 ;-). To use these games
-on Virtual Jaguar GCC/SDL you need to get ROM images. Besides the ROM images
-from commercial games you must also obtain the Atari Jaguar (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.
