Command line options for E-UAE ============================== E-UAE supports the following command-line options. Note that, where applicable, these will over-ride any similar options specified in the default configuration file. In the following, <path> should be substituted with an appropriate file path and <n> with an integer. This document (like the rest of the documentation) is a work-in-progress. -h Displays summary of configuration options. -f <path> Load the configuration file specified by <path>. See configuration.txt for more information about configuration files. For example: -f ~/my_uae_configs/a1200.uaerc -s <option> Specify an option in configuration file (<key>=<value>) format. For example, use -s ntsc=true to start E-UAE in NTSC mode. See configuration.txt for supported options. -0 <path> -1 <path> -2 <path> -3 <path> Mount the floppy disk image specified by <path> in drive 0/1/2/3. For example: -0 somedisk.adf -r <path> Load the ROM image specified by <path>. -K <path> Use the key file specified by <path> to decrypt an encrypted ROM image (from Cloanto's AmigaForever package). -C<n> Selects type of CPU to emulate. The value <n> corresponds to CPU types as follows: 0: 6800 1: 68010 2: 68020 3: 68020/68881 4: 68040 -w<n> Selects the performance model for the CPU emulation. A value of 0 for <n> corresponds to 'real' CPU speed, that is, approximately A500 speed; a value of -1 corresponds to the 'max' CPU speed, that is, the emulation will run as fast as your system allows. A positive value for <n> will select 'adjustable' CPU speed, where <n> specifies the number of virtual emulator cycles that each CPU instructions will take and can be between 1 and 5120. (Positive values for <n> correspond to the same values specified with the 'finegrain_cpu_speed=' configuration option). -v<n> Selects the type of Amiga chip set to emulate. The value <n> corresponds to chip set types as follows: 0: OCS 1: OCS but with the ECS or "Fat" Agnus. 3: ECS 4: AGA -c<n> Emulate <n> * 512 KB of Chip memory. The valid range of values for <n> is from 1 to 16, which corresponds to 512 KB to 8 MB of Chip memory. For example: -c4 will cause E-UAE to emulate 2 MB of Chip memory. -b<n> Emulate <n> * 256 KB of Slow memory. Valid values for <n> include 0, 2, 4 and 6, which corresponds to 0 KB, 512 KB, 1 MB and 1.5 MB, respectively. -F<n> Emulate <n> MB of ZorroII Fast memory. A maximum of 8 MB is supported. -Z<n> Emulate <n> MB of ZorroIII Fast memory. A maximum of 512 MB is supported. -U<n> Emulate <n> MB of video memory on the virtual Picasso96 graphics card. Selecting <n> greater than 0, enables the Picasso96 emulation, and a maximum of 32 MB of video memory may be emulated. -m/M Use filesystem as Amiga volume, arguments are: access,'Amiga volume-name':'host directory path' - where 'access' can be 'read-only' or 'read-write' -W Hardfile specifications, arguments are: access, sectors, surfaces, reserved, blocksize, path format -S parse_sound_spec -R frame-skip rate, between 1 and 20 -i print illegal memory access by Amiga software? -J joystick: Use -J xy, where x and y can be 0 for joystick 0, 1 for joystick 1, M for mouse, and a, b or c for different keyboard settings. -t test drawing speed -G disable GUI and goes straight to emulator -D Enable the debugger -n Perform blits immediately, 0: disable, 1: enable -l keyboard language: (possible arguments: de, dk, us, se, fr, it, es) -O The format to use is: "width:height:modifiers", where modifiers are: l: Treat display as lo-res, x: Center display horizontally, y: Center display vertically, d: double line, a: fullscreen Amiga, p: fullscreen Picasso96, c: Correct aspect ratio -H color_mode, or amiga_screen_type (if compiled with Amiga GFX support) Options specific to the X11 graphics driver =========================================== -L Use "low-bandwidth" mode, which may reduce the amount of data transferred between E-UAE and the X server. That's particularly an advantage when these are running on two different machines in a network. -T Use the MIT-SHM extension. This may not be available on all machines, and it will not work if E-UAE and the X server are not running on the same machine. In all other configurations, turning on this option will give you a huge speed improvement. -x Turn off the X11 mouse cursor. Options specific to the AmigaOS graphics driver =============================================== -T If using a palette-mapped display (256 colours or fewer), render the output in grey-scale rather than colour. -x If using a palette-mapped display (256 colours or fewer), don't dither the output. Options specific to the Curses graphics driver ============================================== -x Enable reverse video.
