em8300setup is a program that configures and uploads microcode images to em8300-based MPEG decoder cards, such as the Creative Labs DXR3 or the Sigma Designs Hollywood+. With no option, this program tries to upload a microcode image from the (system-dependent) default location, which is not relevant if you extracted your own microcodes.
