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>" +Blargg TV effects 'artifacts' (only available in custom mode, range +\-1.0 to 1.0). +.TP +.BR \-tv.fringing " <\fInumber\fP>" +Blargg TV effects 'fringing' (only available in custom mode, range +\-1.0 to 1.0). +.TP +.BR \-tv.bleed " <\fInumber\fP>" +Blargg TV effects 'bleed' (only available in custom mode, range \-1.0 +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 +means only for analog-type devices (paddles, trackball, etc.). +.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 +.BR \-stats " <" 1 | 0 > +Overlay console info on the TIA image during emulation. +.TP +.BR \-fastscbios " <" 1 | 0 > +Disable Supercharger BIOS progress loading bars. +.TP +.BR \-snapsavedir " <\fIpath\fP>" +The directory to save snapshot files to. +.TP +.BR \-snaploaddir " <\fIpath\fP>" +The directory to load snapshot files from. +.TP +.BR \-snapname " <" int | rom > +When saving snapshots, use either the internal database name or the +actual ROM filename. +.TP +.BR \-sssingle " <" 1 | 0 > +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.
