NAME
       flycast - The Sega Dreamcast, Atomiswave	and Naomi emulator.

SYNOPSIS
       flycast [OPTIONS]... [IMAGE FILE]

DESCRIPTION
       flycast is a multi-platform emulator for	the Sega Dreamcast, Atomiswave
       and Naomi systems.

EXAMPLE	COMMANDLINE
       No command line options will start flycast and load all values from the
       config file.
	      flycast

       Override	the image specified in the config file to load a specific im-
       age.
	      flycast /path/to/your/image.gdi

       Start flycast in	full screen.
	      flycast -config window:fullscreen=yes

CONFIG FILE
       The config file for flycast can be found	at:

	      ~/.config/flycast/emu.cfg

VMU SAVE FILE
       The VMU save files can be found at ~/.local/share/flycast/, by default
       flycast will create two VMU files for the first controller:

	      ~/.local/share/flycast/vmu_save_A1.bin
	      ~/.local/share/flycast/vmu_save_A2.bin

BIOS AND FLASH ROMS
       flycast needs the original Atomiswave or	Naomi BIOS files. The Dream-
       cast BIOS isn't needed in most cases but	is recommended.	For copyright
       reasons it is not possible to distribute	them bundled with flycast, so
       you have	to dump	them from your own Dreamcast. flycast will look	for
       these files in:

	      ~/.local/share/flycast/data/dc_boot.bin
	      ~/.local/share/flycast/data/naomi.zip
	      ~/.local/share/flycast/data/awbios.zip

CONTROLS
       flycast uses the	kernel event devices for capturing input. You can de-
       fine the	evdev device id	in the config file:

	      [input]
	      evdev_device_id_1	= X
	      evdev_mapping_1 =	my_mapping.cfg

       If  your	 version of flycast is compiled	against	X11, you might want to
       disable the built-in X11	keyboard support as this can interfere if your
       controller is detected as a keyboard:

	      [input]
	      enable_x11_keyboard = -1

GENERAL	OPTIONS
       -config section:option=value
	      Temporarily override a value of the config file.

       [IMAGE FILE]
	      Load a specific image file.

	      Although Flycast supports	images in GDI, CHD, CUE	and  CDI  for-
	      mat, you should avoid CDI	images since they often	have issues.

	      If  no  image is given on	the command line, flycast will display
	      the list of available content.
