NAME
     tiemu - a TI's hand-helds emulator (m68k-based)

SYNOPSYS
     tiemu  [-h]  [-v]	[--help]  [--version] [--import] [-rom=] [-tib=] [-sav=]
     [filename]

DESCRIPTION
     The TiEmu program allows you to emulate a Texas Instruments calculator such
     as TI89, TI89 Titanium, TI92, TI92+ or V200PLT.  The emulator  has  also  a
     virtual link capability which allows to connect it to another program (such
     as TiLP for instance).

OPTIONS
     The command line options override the default options (startup options) and
     the  config file options even.  The TiEmu program accepts the following op-
     tions:

     -h, --help
	    Display a list of all command line options.

     -v, --version
	    Output the version info.

     --import=
	    Import ROM or TIB into repository and exit. Can be used for creating
	    images (as an example).  This flag must be set before -rom or -tib !

     -rom=  Convert and use the specified dump as image. Note that the image  is
	    added to the image repository.  Provided for compatibility.

     -tib=  Convert  and use the specified tib/upgrade as image. Idem.	Provided
	    for compatibility.

     -sav=  Load the specified state file. Must be a valid state image and  tar-
	    get for emulated calculator.  Provided for compatibility.

     filename
	    Load  a ROM/TIB/SAV file. ROM & TIB files are converted and added to
	    images repository. Image corresponding to SAV file is  automatically
	    loaded and state is load.

CONFIG FILE FORMAT
     This section describes the format of the .tiemu config file which is in the
     home  directory of the user (Linux) or in the Program Files folder (Win32).
     A line preceded by the '#' symbol is a comment.  Each line has the  follow-
     ing  format:  key=value.	The config file must have the 'RC_END' string at
     end.  Every line can be put in any order.	Take in mind  that  any  comment
     added  in the config file will be overwritten.  Below is described each op-
     tion and the possible values:

     calctype= Defines the calculator type for link parameter. Valid values are:
     ti89, ti89t, ti92, ti92+, v200.  Note: don't need to  touch  this	setting,
     it's overridden by TiEmu. Kept for compatibility.

     linktype=	Define	the  link cable type. Choose one of the following value:
     none,  parallel,  serial,	TIGraphLink,  virtual,	TiEmulator,  VTi,   Usb-
     GraphLink.

     port=  Define a link port to use. Can be: null, user, parallel port #1|2|3,
     serial port #1|2|3|4, virtual port #1|2, USB port #1.

     method= Define an I/O method to use. Possible values are:	automatic,  asm,
     api, driver, null.

     adr_port=	places	the  I/O address of the I/O port to use. It can be 0x3F8
     for a serial port or 0x378 for a parallel port for instance.

     serial_device= places the character device name of the serial port  to  use
     with a Grey TIGL.

     timeout=  with the timeout value to use in tenth of seconds. Default value:
     20.

     delay= with the delay value to use in micro-seconds for  home-made  cables.
     Default value: 10

     background=  Define whether TiEmu display the whole frame (keyboard+LCD) or
     just the LCD screen. Set to 0 if you do not want to use the keyboard.

     skin_file= Define the custom skin file to use. Must be a full path name.

     keys_file= Define the keymap to use. Must be a full path name.

     img_file= Define the TiEmu image to load at startup. Must be  a  full  path
     name.

     tib_file= Define the FLASH upgrade (tib or .9xu/.89u) to load after the im-
     age. Must be a full path name.

     sav_file= Define the calculator state image to load at startup.

     cpu_rate=	Give  the number of instructions executed by the M68000 per 30ms
     timeslice. Default value is -1 (50000 insts/30ms).

     hw_rate= Give the OS2/OSC3 oscillator rate. Default value is -1 (427 on hw1
     and 732 on hw2; OSC2 is incremented every 6250 OSC1 cycles).

     lcd_rate= Define the frame rate of LCD refresh. Default value is  -1  (25ms
     => 40fps). Don't use a value smaller than 10ms.

     img_format=  Defines  the	image format of the screenshots. Several formats
     are available: jpg, png and ico.

     img_type= You can do B/W (bw) or colored (color) screenshots.

     img_size= The size of the image that is to say you can shots only	the  LCD
     (lcd) or the entire window (skin).

     screen_file= Defines the base filename where the screenshot will be stored.

     screen_counter=  This allows you to save the current screenshot counter. In
     fact,    the    resulting	  filename    is    computed	 as	'screen-
     file[screen_counter].[img_format]. Example: 'screenshot001.png'.

     screen_shots= Number of frames to capture.

     screen_skips= Number of frame to skip between 2 captures.

     console=  Available  under Windows platform only. You can hide (no) or show
     (yes) the DOS console at startup  or  even  display  it  only  during  boot
     (boot).

     kbd_dbg= Display key bindings in the console if set (yes). Else, do nothing
     (no).

     fs_type= TiEmu supports several file selectors for better integration.  The
     following options are supported:
     -	native:  native  one  (default): Win32 on Windows, KDE if built with KDE
     support and running under KDE, GTK+ 2.x else,
     - old: GTK 1.2 file selector,
     - new: GTK 2.x file selector (advanced capabilities  and  can  show  hidden
     files),
     - win32: deprecated (same as native),
     -	kde:  KDE  file selector (only available if TiEmu is built with KDE sup-
     port).

     bkpts_wnd=
     code_wnd=
     mem_wnd=
     regs_wnd=
     pclog_wnd=
     stack_wnd=
     heap_wnd= Set geometry hints for the different windows of the debugger. The
     format is (x,y,w,h,m,v) where x&y are coordinates, w&h are the size,  m  is
     set if window is minimized and v is set if the window is open.
     dbg_font_type=  Enable  custom font if set to "custom"; use default font if
     set to "default".
     dbg_font_name= Name of font to use. It must be a  valid  Pango  description
     font  name:  a  string representation in the form "[FAMILY-LIST] [STYLE-OP-
     TIONS] [SIZE]", where FAMILY-LIST is a comma separated list of families op-
     tionally terminated by a comma, STYLE_OPTIONS  is	a  whitespace  separated
     list  of  words where each WORD describes one of style, variant, weight, or
     stretch, and SIZE is an decimal number (size in points). Any one of the op-
     tions may be absent. If FAMILY-LIST is absent, then the  family_name  field
     of the resulting font description will be initialized to NULL. If STYLE-OP-
     TIONS is missing, then all style options will be set to the default values.
     If  SIZE is missing, the size in the resulting font description will be set
     to 0.

     Think to terminate your config script with the 'RC_END' word !!!
