=item B<-A>, B<--audio>=I<audio-driver>
nkeynes@700
    16
nkeynes@700
    17
Set the preferred audio driver. If the specified audio driver cannot start, the system
nkeynes@700
    18
will try all other available drivers in the standard order. To see which drivers are 
nkeynes@700
    19
supported, run lxdream -A ?

=item B<-c>, B<--config>=F<config-filename>
nkeynes@700
    22
nkeynes@700

Load configuration information from F<config-filename> instead of the system default

nkeynes@700
    25
=item B<-d>, B<--debugger>
nkeynes@700
    26
nkeynes@700
    27
Launch the debugger on startup (GTK platforms only).

nkeynes@700
    33
=item B<-H>, B<--headless>
nkeynes@700
    34
nkeynes@700
    35
Run in headless mode (no GUI or video output). This is mainly useful for testing CPU 
nkeynes@700
    36
functions and performance. Equivalent to -V null.
nkeynes@700

    38
=item B<-l>, B<--log>=I<log-level>
nkeynes@700
    39
nkeynes@700
    40
Set the system log level to the specified level of verbosity, which must be one of the following options:
nkeynes@700
    41
FATAL, ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE (non-case-sensitive, and only the first letter is required). The
nkeynes@700
    42
default level is WARN.
nkeynes@700
    43
nkeynes@700
    44
=item B<-m> B<--multiplier>=I<scale>
nkeynes@700
    45
nkeynes@700
    46
Change the SH4 core clock speed using the supplied floating-point multiplier, where 1.0
nkeynes@700
    47
is full speed, 0.5 is half speed, and so on. The default is 0.5.

    48
nkeynes@700

=item B<-n>
nkeynes@700
    50
nkeynes@700
    51
Don't start running on startup, even if a disc or program file was supplied. By default
nkeynes@700
    52
the system will start automatically if a disc or program was given on the command line.
nkeynes@700
    53
nkeynes@700
    54
=item B<-p>
nkeynes@700
    55
nkeynes@700
    56
Start running on startup, even if no disc or program file was supplied. By default
nkeynes@700
    57
the system will only start automatically if a disc or program was given on the command 
nkeynes@700
    58
line.
nkeynes@700

    60
=item B<-t>, B<--run-time>=I<seconds>
nkeynes@700
    61
nkeynes@700
    62
Run the dreamcast for exactly the specified amount of time, and then terminate, ie 
nkeynes@700
    63
lxdream -pt 5.2  will exit after 5.2 seconds of emulated runtime. Useful for performance
nkeynes@700
    64
measurements of arbitrary sections of code.
nkeynes@700
    65
nkeynes@700
    66
=item B<-T>, B<--trace>=I<trace-list>
nkeynes@700
    67
nkeynes@700
    68
Activate I/O region tracing for the specified list of MMIO regions. This option is only
nkeynes@700
    69
available if lxdream was configured with --enable-trace. If enabled, trace-list may be
nkeynes@700
    70
a comma-separated list of 1 or more of the following: ALL, ASIC, AICA0, AICA1, AICA2, AICARTC,
nkeynes@700
    71
EXTDMA, PVR2, MMU, UBC, BSC, DMAC, CPG, RTC, INTC, TMU, SCI, and SCIF.
nkeynes@700
    72
nkeynes@700
    73
Warning: this option implicitly sets the verbosity level to 'trace', and will generate a huge
nkeynes@700
    74
amount of output.
nkeynes@700
    75
nkeynes@700
    76
=item B<-u>, B<--unsafe>
nkeynes@700
    77
nkeynes@700
    78
Allow unsafe dcload syscalls. Without this option, the only permitted calls are reads, writes, and
nkeynes@700
    79
seeks on stdin, stdout and stderr. If you're writing your own code that uses the other syscalls, you
nkeynes@700
    80
probably want to enable this. Otherwise it's safer to leave it off.
nkeynes@700
    81
nkeynes@700
    82
=item B<-v>, B<--version>
nkeynes@700
    83
nkeynes@700
    84
Print the lxdream version string.
nkeynes@700
    85
nkeynes@700
    86
=item B<-V> I<video-driver>
nkeynes@700
    87
nkeynes@700
    88
Set the preferred video driver. If the specified video driver cannot start, the system
nkeynes@700
    89
will exit with an error. To see the available video drivers, run lxdream -V ?
nkeynes@700

=item B<-x>
nkeynes@700
    92
nkeynes@700
    93
Disable the SH4 translator and run in pure emulation mode. Generally you only want to do this for testing
nkeynes@700
    94
purposes (ie if you think you've found a translator bug) as it's much slower this way.
