Virtual jaguar for AmigaOS4 NG
WARNING : this is a beta release !
Virtual Jaguar for AmigaOS4 1.0.10 DSP/GPU hack
For SPE machine please use a big power GPU with minimum 6Tflops (RX480 with 8 Go it's very good) and add frameskip to 1 and use a EGL_Wrap executable
Thank you for thanking the donors or contributing to the donations, because without them you wouldn't have these large-scale projects and new games. Thank you for your understanding.

What is Virtual Jaguar GCC/SDL
-----------------------------------
Virtual Jaguar is a 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/SDL is not only 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 which uses the GCC compiler and that can make use of the Simple Directmedia Layer library (SDL).
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 L. 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 SDL can be found at http://www.libsdl.org.
The AmigaOS4 port is done by HunoPPC 2026.
REQUIREMENTS :
-------------------
- AmigaOS 4.1 update 3 with OpenGL compatible graphic card or Warp3DNova and AMD RXxxxx
- Jaguar Bios (jagboot.rom)
- some ROMs to play (obviously !)
NOTES:
------------------
The DSP working with limited sounds effects
Please for optimal speed play with the all new Hacks on the menu ;-)
Please waitinggggg!!! on loading bios (it's normal, my engine check the rom for optimized the hacks options)
USAGE :
-------------------
From the command line :
vj [romfile] [switches]
-? or -help : Display usage and switches
-frameskip 1-10 : Enable frameskip 1 - 10 (default: none)
-joystick : Enable joystick/gamepad
-joyport 0-3 : Select desired joystick port
-bios : Boot cart using Jaguar BIOS ROM
-nobios : Boot cart without using Jaguar BIOS ROM
-dsp : Force VJ to use the DSP
-nodsp : Force VJ to run without the DSP
-pipeline : Use the DSP pipelined core
-nopipeline : Use the DSP non-pipelined core
-gl : Use OpenGL rendering
-nogl : Use old non-OpenGL rendering
-fullscreen : Enable fullscreen mode (default: windowed)
-window : Enable windowed mode
-pal : Force VJ to PAL mode (default: NTSC)
-ntsc : Force VJ to NTSC mode
Or launch a SHELL script with icon and load ROM from the GUI
default settings in vj.cfg : OpenGL rendering with Blurry filtering, window mode, NTSC, DSP disabled, use Joystick/Joypad
Important: reset the emulator from the menu (press ESC to access it) if you are blocked in a game
For Fullscreen push F12
