FILES
- virtualjaguar.log
-
Virtualjaguar log file. Only written if the log option (-l or
--log) is given. If the file cannot be opened, the log it sent to
standard output instead. The log file is overwritten on startup. Note
that the file is written to the current directory.
- ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/virtualjaguar/eeproms/ (typically ~/.local/share/data/virtualjaguar/eeproms/)
-
Some Atari Jaguar cartridges feature a small writable EEPROM, used for
saving game state and score lists. If this directory exists,
virtualjaguar will emulate the EEPROM by saving the state in file in
this directory.
- ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/virtualjaguar/software/ (typically ~/.local/share/data/virtualjaguar/software/)
-
The virtualjaguar GUI for loading software scans this directory, and
shows the loadable files, along with information about the program,
and a label image if one is included in a zip archive of the software.
