=head1 FILES
|
|
|
|
ROM image files may be in raw dump format, or may have a header
|
|
(details are system-specific). Also, ROM images may be zipped (not
|
|
gzipped), in which case the first file in the zip file's directory must
|
|
be the ROM image (any other files are ignored).
|
|
|
|
B<sms_sdl> looks at the filename to determine the type of ROM image
|
|
in use. Any file whose name ends in I<.gg> (case-insensitive match) is
|
|
considered to be a Game Gear ROM. Any other file is treated as a Sega
|
|
Master System ROM. In the case of a zipped image, this refers to the
|
|
file inside the zip file; the zip file itself doesn't have any special
|
|
naming requirements.
|
|
|
|
Screenshot filenames (F1 key) are generated by replacing the filename
|
|
extension with I<-NNN.bmp>, where NNN is a 3-digit number (000 for the
|
|
first screenshot, 001 for the second, etc). The numbering starts at 000
|
|
every time the emulator is started, and existing files will be overwritten
|
|
without confirmation.
|
|
|
|
State save filenames (F2 key) are generated by replacing the filename
|
|
extension with I<.stN>, where N is the number of the save slot (one or
|
|
more digits). Again, existing files are overwritten without confirmation.
|
|
|
|
Screenshots and savestates are stored in I<~/.sms_sdl>.
|
|
|
|
=head1 CONFIG FILE
|
|
|
|
B<sms_sdl> is launched by a shell script wrapper which reads the file
|
|
I<~/.sms_sdl/config> if it exists. Any of the options above may be placed
|
|
in this file (one option per line, with or without the leading B<-->
|
|
characters). These options will be passed as command-line arguments to
|
|
the real B<sms_sdl> binary every time it runs.
|
|
|
|
See B</usr/doc/sms_sdl-VERSION/sample_config> for further information.
|
