Up-to-date list of command line parameters and key mappings
===========================================================
Usage:
atari800 [options] [filenames]
where:
"filenames" are names of files supported by the emulator.
The following file types are currently supported:
- disk images: ATR, XFD, ATR.GZ/ATZ, XFD.GZ/XFZ, DCM, PRO, ATX
- programs: COM/EXE/XEX, BAS, LST
- cartridge images: CAR/CART, ROM (raw)
- tape images: CAS, raw bootable programs
- Atari800 state files: compressed and not compressed
Disk images are mounted in order, i.e. the first file is mounted
to the drive 1, next one to the drive 2, etc.
Cassette operation
==================
As there is no possibility to create a new tape from the UI yet, create a file
of zero size (e.g. with 'touch' command or a text editor) and Select that
as tape if you want to save to tape.
Appending to existing tapes is not allowed. You have to re-insert (select
again in the tape dialog) a just saved tape when you want to load from it
in order to rewind it.
MIO and Black Box
==================
You need ROM images (not provided.)
Make a blank SCSI disk image (using dd for instance.)
Set MIO_SCSI_DISK or BB_SCSI_DISK to the disk image name.
Use 256 byte sectors for the Black Box.
Don't use SASI.
Use ALT-Backslash for the Black Box menu.
Don't use the OS patches, use -nopatchall. The patches conflict with D1xx
1400XL/1450XLD
==================
You need ROM images (not provided.)
Don't use the OS patches, use -nopatchall. The patches conflict with D1xx
The Self test can talk.
You can use the V: device to talk.
If you set the drives to empty, then a message appears on the 1450XLD screen
asking you to insert a disk.
If you press select when booting, the behavior of the 1450XLD disks is changed.
I believe it slows down for compability.

digital CX-40 joysticks connected to parallel port or keyboard joysticks
(try out JOYCFG.EXE).

are supported. The keys used for joystick directions and the trigger can be
freely defined in the config UI (Controller Config -> Define layout).
Keyboard joystick emulation can be enabled/disabled in the Controller Config.
By default, joy 0 is enabled and joy 1 is disabled (to not steal normal
AWDS keys in the emulator).
X11 keyboard, joystick and other controllers
--------------------------------------------
Alt Atari/Inverse key (either Alt key will work)
Joystick 0 is operated by the mouse position relative to the center of the
screen. The mouse button acts as the trigger. On Linux, standard joysticks
are also supported.
