FILES

Config file

/usr/share/supermodel/Config/Supermodel.ini

ROM set definition file

/usr/share/supermodel/Config/Games.xml

Configuration file containing default input settings. You must copy it to the folder that Supermodel will be launched (~/your-roms-folder/Config/Supermodel.ini for example).

TO DO

Supermodel should read the *.ini file from /usr/share/supermodel/Config/ automatically, and it should create NVRAM folder automatically too. Instead, it expects that Config/Supermodel.ini and NVRAM already exists in the folder it is launched. So to workaround it, you need do this before the first launch:

cd ~/your-roms-folder/

cp -r /usr/share/supermodel/Config .

mkdir NVRAM
