NAME
atari800 - Atari 800 Emulator, Version 0.5.1
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!
- -ffp
-
Replace standard floating point with a set of fast floating point
routines implemented within the emulator without using 6502 CPU
emulation.
- -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.
- -rom
-
The following file is a standard 8K ROM cartridge.
- -rom16
-
The following file is a standard 16K ROM cartridge.
- -ags32
-
The following file is a 32 ROM cartridge for the Atari 5200 Games System.
- -oss
-
The following file is an OSS super-cartridge.
- -db
-
The following file is a DB super-cartridge.
- -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
- -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.
- -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
-
Use columns 40 to 79.
- -wide1
-
Use columns 0 to 79. In this mode only the even character positions
are used. The odd locations are filled with spaces.
- -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.
Antic Modes 2, 3 and f display two true colours and not one colour with
two luminances. Should this be called a bug or feature, and should
it be corrected?
