As a side effect, it offers emulation technology +that extreme minimalists may find tolerable. + +This package includes "jg" (the API headers) and "jgrf". jgrf is the +simplest possible frontend for The Jolly Good API. The executable and +man page are called "jollygood". + +After installing jollygood, you'll want to install "cores" (plugins) +for the systems you want to emulate. Search for "jgemu" to find them +on SBo. Also, if you want to install all the cores at once, use sbopkg +or sbotools and either "jollygood-all-cores.sqf" (for 64-bit) or +"jollygood-all-cores-32bit.sqf" from the SlackBuild directory. + +Ideally, once a core is installed, you can run games for that system +with "jollygood <filename>", where <filename> is either a ROM or disk +image, or a .zip file containing the image. This only works if the +filename extension is known to jollygood. If you get "Cannot detect +default core", you'll have to use the -c option to tell it what core +to use. See also the jollygood(6) man page. + +If you're considering submitting a SlackBuild for a jollygood core, +please read GUIDELINES.txt. |
