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 image.
	    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 fly-
     cast 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 Dreamcast
     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 define
     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 dis-
     able the built-in X11 keyboard support as this can interfere if  your  con-
     troller 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 format,
	    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.
