NAME
atari800 - Atari 800 Emulator, Version 0.8.1
SYNOPSIS
atari800 [options] [diskfiles...]
DESCRIPTION
atari800 emulates the Atari 800, Atari 800 XL, Atari 130 XE and Atari 5200 Games System.
Options
- -a
-
Use Atari OS/A.
- -b
-
Use Atari OS/B.
- -xl
-
Emulate Atari 800 XL.
- -xe
-
Emulate Atari 130 XE - but Antic accesses the same bank the CPU is using.
- -5200
-
Emulate Atari 5200 - Games controller emulation has not been implemented yet!
- -config filename
-
Specify an alternative configuration filename.
- -configure
-
Starts emulator in run-time configuration mode.
- -nobasic
-
Used to disable Basic when starting the emulator in XL/XE mode. Simulates the Option key being held down during system boot.
- -nopatch
-
Normally the OS is patched giving very fast I/O. This options prevents the patch from being applied so that the OS accesses the serial port hardware directly. This option will probably never be needed since programs that access the serial hardware should work even if the OS has been patched.
- -xcolpf1
-
Enables Extended Use of COLPF1 register as used by Antic Modes 2, 3 and f. This option allows two different colours to be displayed in these modes - i.e. Not one colour and two luminances.
- -rom filename
-
Path to file containing a standard 8K ROM cartridge.
- -rom16 filename
-
Path to file containing a standard 16K ROM cartridge.
- -ags32 filename
-
Path to file containing 32K ROM cartridge for the Atari 5200 Games System.
- -oss filename
-
Path to file containing OSS super-cartridge.
- -db filename
-
Path to file containing DB super-cartridge.
- -osa_rom filename
-
Path to file containing Atari Rev.A Operating System. Used to override paths defined at compile time.
- -osb_rom filename
-
Path to file containing Atari Rev.B Operating System. Used to override paths defined at compile time.
- -xlxe_rom
-
Path to file containing Atari XL/XE Operating System. Used to override paths defined at compile time.
- -5200_rom
-
Path to file containing Atari 5200 Games System ROM. Used to override paths defined at compile time.
- -basic_rom
-
Path to file containing Atari BASIC ROM. Used to override paths defined at compile time.
- -c
-
Enable RAM between $c000 and $d000.
- -v
-
Print emulator version.
- -refresh
-
Controls screen refresh rate. A numerical value follows this option which specifies how many emulated screen updates are required before the actual screen is updated. This value effects the speed of the emulation: A higher value results in faster CPU emulation but a less frequently updated screen.
SVGALIB Options
- -sound
-
Enable sound using the Network Audio System.
- -interlace
-
Enable screen interlace option
X Window Options
- -private_cmap
-
Tells the Emulator to use its own private colormap.
- -small
-
Runs the emulator in a small window where each Atari 800 pixel is represented by one X Window pixel.
- -large
-
Runs the emulator in a large window where each Atari 800 pixel is represented by a 2x2 X Window rectange. This mode is selected by default.
- -huge
-
Runs the emulator in a huge window where each Atari 800 pixel is represented by a 3x3 X Window rectange.
- -clip_x number-of-pixels
-
Sets left offset for clipping.
- -clip_width number-of-pixels
-
Sets the width of the clipping-area.
- -clip_y number-of-pixels
-
Sets top offset for clipping.
- -clip_height number-of-pixels
-
Sets the height of the clipping-area.
- -sound
-
Enable sound using the Network Audio System.
Amiga Options
- -ocs
-
Used for OCS based Amigas. It has not been tested on a real OCS based computer and there could be problems with regard to Workbench versions.
- -ecs
-
Used for ECS based Amigas. It has not been tested on a real ECS based computer and there could be problems with regard to Workbench versions.
- -aga
-
Used for AGA based Amigas. It has been tested on an Amiga 1200 with 68030 + 4Mb Fast RAM.
- -grey
-
Produce a grey scale display.
- -colour
-
Produce a full colour on AGA machines and up to 32 simultaneous colours on OCS and ECS machines.
- -wb
-
Runs the emulator in a Workbench Window. Use a screen mode with a minimum of 16 colours for best results.
Curses Options
- -left
-
Use columns 0 to 39.
- -central
-
Use columns 20 to 59.
- -right

- -wide2
-
Use columns 0 to 79. This mode is similar to -wide1 except that the spaces are in reverse video if the previous character was also in reverse video.

BUGS
A few programs cause the emulator to enter its built in debugger. The reason for this is unknown at the moment.
