+.SH NAME
+stella \- Atari 2600 emulator
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B stella
+[\fIoptions\fP] <\fIROM file\fP>
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B stella
+is a comprehensive emulator of the old Atari 2600 video-game
+console. It support most Atari 2600 games and many peripherals.
+.PP
+.SH OPTIONS
+.B stella
+accepts the following options:
+.TP
+.BR \-video " <" opengl | opengles2 | opengles | software >
+Use OpenGL, OpenGLES or SDL software rendering mode.
+.TP
+.BR \-vsync " <" 1 | 0 >
+Synchronize screen updates to the vertical blank period. This can
+result in smoother updates, and eliminate tearing.
+.TP
+.BR \-fullscreen " <" 1 | 0 >
+Play the game in fullscreen mode (\fB1\fP) or in a window (\fB0\fP).
+.TP
+.BR \-center " <" 1 | 0 >
+Centers game window (if possible).
+.TP
+.BR \-palette " <" standard | z26 | user >
+Sets the palette to either normal Stella, the one used in the \fBz26\fP
+emulator, or a user-defined palette.
+.TP
+.BR \-colorloss " <" 1 | 0 >
+Enable/disable the PAL color-loss effect.
+.TP
+.BR \-framerate " <\fInumber\fP>"
+Display the given number of frames per second. Normally, Stella will
+determine framerate based on number of scanlines. Setting this to
+\fB0\fP automatically enables auto-frame calculation (ie, framerate
+based on scanlines).
+.TP
+.BR \-timing " <" sleep | busy >
+Determines type of wait to perform between processing frames. Sleep
+will release the CPU as much as possible, and is the preferred method
+on laptops (and other low-powered devices) and when using GL
+VSync. Busy will emulate \fBz26\fP busy-wait behaviour, and use all
+possible CPU time, but may eliminate graphical 'tearing' in software
+mode.
+.TP
+.BR \-uimessages " <" 1 | 0 >
+Enable or disablEnable or disable display of message in the UI. Note
+that messages indicating serious errors override this setting, and are
+always shown.
+.TP
+.BR \-sound " <" 1 | 0 >
+Enable or disable sound generation.
+.TP
+.BR \-fragsize " <\fInumber\fP>"
+Specify the sound fragment size to use. Under Debian the recommended
+value is 512.
+.TP
+.BR \-freq " <\fInumber\fP>"
+Set sound sample output frequency (0 - 48000). Default is 31400. Do
+not change unless you experience sound issues.
+.TP
+.BR \-volume " <\fInumber\fP>"
+Set the volume (0 - 100).
+.TP
+.BR \-tia.zoom " <\fInumber\fP>"
+Use the specified zoom level (integer) while in TIA/emulation mode.
+.TP
+.BR \-tia.inter " <" 1 | 0 >
+Use interpolation for the TIA image (results in blending/smoothing of
+the image).
+.TP
+.BR \-tia.aspectn " <\fInumber\fP>"
+.BR \-tia.aspectp " <\fInumber\fP>"
+Specify the amount (as a percentage) to scale the TIA image width in
+NTSC and PAL mode. Since many video modes do not use square pixels,
+you can reduce width until the pixels appear square. Allowable values
+are 80\-120; the author finds 85\-90 gives the mos authentic look for
+NTSC, and 105\-110 for PAL.
+.TP
+.BR \-tia.fsfill " <" 1 | 0 >
+Stretch TIA image completely while in fullscreen mode (vs. an integral
+stretch which won't necessarily completely fill the screen).
+.TP
+.BR \-tv.filter " <" 1 \- 6 >
+Blargg TV effects, 0 is disabled, next numbers in sequence represent
+presets for "Composite", "S-Video", "RGB", "Bad Adjust" and "Custom"
+modes.
+.TP
+.BR \-tv.scanlines " <" 0 \- 100 >
+Blargg TV effects scanline intensity, where 0 means completely off.
+.TP
+.BR \-tv.scaninter " <" 1 | 0 >
+Blargg TV effects scanline interpolation, resulting in
+blending/smoothing of the scanlines.
+.TP
+.BR \-tv.contrast " <\fInumber\fP>"
+Blargg TV effects 'contrast' (only available in custom mode, range
+\-1.0 to 1.0).
+.TP
+.BR \-tv.brightness " <\fInumber\fP>"
+Blargg TV effects 'brightness' (only available in custom mode, range
+\-1.0 to 1.0).
+.TP
+.BR \-tv.hue " <\fInumber\fP>"
+Blargg TV effects 'hue' (only available in custom mode, range \-1.0 to
+1.0).
+.TP
+.BR \-tv.saturation " <\fInumber\fP>"
+Blargg TV effects 'saturation' (only available in custom mode, range
+\-1.0 to 1.0).
+.TP
+.BR \-tv.gamma " <\fInumber\fP>"
+Blargg TV effects 'gamma' (only available in custom mode, range \-1.0
+to 1.0).
+.TP
+.BR \-tv.sharpness " <\fInumber\fP>"
+Blargg TV effects 'sharpness' (only available in custom mode, range
+\-1.0 to 1.0).
+.TP
+.BR \-tv.resolution " <\fInumber\fP>"
+Blargg TV effects 'resolution' (only available in custom mode, range
+\-1.0 to 1.0).
+.TP
+.BR \-tv.artifacts " <\fInumber\fP>"

+\-1.0 to 1.0).
+.TP
+.BR \-tv.bleed " <\fInumber\fP>"

+to 1.0).
+.TP
+.BR \-cheat " <\fIcode\fP>"
+Use the specified cheatcode (see the \fICheat\fP section in the
+provided documentation for a description of cheatcodes).
+.TP
+.BR \-loglevel " <" 0 | 1 | 2 >
+Indicates level of logging to perform while the application is
+running. Zero completely disables logging (except for serious errors),
+while the remaining numbers show increasingly more detail.
+.TP
+.BR \-logtoconsole " <" 1 | 0 >
+Indicates that logged output should be printed to the
+console/commandline as it's being collected. An internal log will
+still be kept, and the amount of logging is still controlled
+by \fBloglevel\fP.
+.TP
+.BR \-joydeadzone " <\fInumber\fP>"
+Sets the joystick deadzone area for analog joysticks. Accepts a number
+from 0 - 29, and uses the formula 3200 + \fInumber\fP * 1000. So the
+possible deadzone values range from 3200 to 32200.
+.TP
+.BR \-joyallow4 " <" 1 | 0 >
+Allow all 4 directions on a joystick to be pressed
+simultaneously. Bumper Bash ignores this setting, and always allows
+all 4 directions.
+.TP
+.BR \-usemouse " <" always | analog | never >
+Use mouse as a controller as specified by ROM properties in specific
+case. \fBalways\fP and \fBnever\fP are self-explanatory, \fBanalog\fP

+.TP
+.BR \-grabmouse " <" 1 | 0 >
+Keeps the mouse in the game window in emulation mode.
+.TP
+.BR \-hidecursor " <" 1 | 0 >
+Always hide the cursor, or show it when appropriate.
+.TP
+.BR \-dsense " <\fInumber\fP>"
+Sensitivity for emulation of paddles when using a digital device
+(joystick digital axis or button, keyboard key, etc.). \fInumber\fP
+may range from 1 to 10, with larger numbers causing faster movement.
+.TP
+.BR \-msense " <\fInumber\fP>"
+Sensitivity for emulation of paddles when using a mouse. \fInumber\fP
+may range from 1 to 15, with larger numbers causing faster movement.
+.TP
+.BR \-saport " <" lr | rl >
+Determines how to enumerate the Stelladaptor/2600-daptor devices in
+the order they are found: 'lr' means first is left port, second is
+right port, 'rl' means the opposite.
+.TP
+.BR \-ctrlcombo " <" 1 | 0 >
+Use control-x key combos. This is normally enabled, since the Quit
+command is tied to 'Control-q'. However, there are times when a
+2-player game is using either the 'f' or 'r' keys for movement, and
+pressing Control (for Fire) will perform an unwanted action associated
+with Control-r or Control-f.
+.TP
+.BR \-autoslot " <" 1 | 0 >
+Automatically switch to the next available save state slot after
+saving a ROM state file.
+.TP

+Generate single snapshot instead of many, overwriting any previous
+snapshots.
+.TP
+.BR \-ss1x " <" 1 | 0 >
+Ignore any scaling applied to the TIA image, and save snapshot in
+unscaled (1x) mode.
+.TP
+.BR \-ssinterval " <\fInumber\fP>"
+Set the interval in seconds between taking snapshots in continuous
+snapshot mode (currently, 1 - 10).
+.TP
+.BR \-rominfo " <\fIrom\fP>"
+Display detailed information about the given ROM, and then exit
+Stella.
+.TP
+.BR \-listrominfo
+Prints relevant contents of the Stella ROM database, one ROM per line,
+and then exit Stella. This can be used for external frontends.
+.TP
+.BR \-exitlauncher " <" 1 | 0 >
+Always exit to ROM launcher when exiting a ROM (normally, an exit to
+launcher only happens when started with the launcher).
+.TP
+.BR \-launcherres " <\fIW\fP" x \fIH\fP>
+Set the size of the ROM launcher.

+level (1 or 2).
+.TP
+.BR \-listdelay " <\fIdelay\fP>"
+Set the amount of time to wait between treating successive keypresses
+as a single word in list widgets (value can range from 300-1000).

+behaviour as compared to real hardware.
+
+.SH KEYBOARD CONTROLS
+The Atari 2600 console controls and controllers are mapped to the
+computer's keyboard as shown in the following sections. However, most of
+these events can be remapped to other keys on your keyboard or buttons
