.SH "NAME"
generator\-gtk \- Sega Genesis/Megadrive emulator
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
generator-gtk \fB[options]\fR \fB[rom\-file]\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
generator-gtk is a platform independent Sega Genesis/Megadrive emulator
with a \s-1GTK+2\s0 user interface, using \s-1SDL\s0 for display/audio/input.
.PP
generator-gtk is a modified version of Generator by James Ponder based
on version 0.35. It is known to work on FreeBSD, NetBSD and Linux.
.PP
generator-gtk has some features not found in original Generator:
.IP "\-" 4
Support for \s-1BZIP2\s0, \s-1GZIP\s0 and \s-1ZIP\s0 compressed ROMs i.e., no more manual decompression or wasted disk space. Yay!
.IP "\-" 4
Support for X11's XVideo hardware acceleration by \s-1SDL\s0 for faster and smoother graphics.
.IP "\-" 4
Fullscreen support with or without the classic color frame.
.IP "\-" 4
\&\s-1SDL\s0 audio support (in favour of \s-1OSS\s0 Audio) which means you can use ESound and others for sharing the sound device among other applications.
.IP "\-" 4
Optional mute playing i.e., if you don't have a soundcard or the soundcard is busy you can still play.
.IP "\-" 4
Support for 48kHz sample rate (needs driver support).
.IP "\-" 4
Automagic \s-1CPU\s0 usage reduction which is especially cool for notebooks. The unpatched Generator uses more or less as much \s-1CPU\s0 as it can get even if needs far less than 10% on any modern system.
.IP "\-" 4
Working support for Game Genie codes.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\-a" 4
.IX Item "-a"
Arcade mode. Start emulation immediately, in fullscreen. Only useful
if a \s-1ROM\s0 file is also provided on the command line. This option is very
useful with frontends.
.IP "\-d" 4
.IX Item "-d"
Debug mode. This is for debugging emulated \s-1ROM\s0 code. This option adds a
Debug menu item to the \s-1UI\s0, with options for disassembling \s-1RAM\s0 and \s-1ROM\s0,
and a console that displays the machine registers and offers breakpoints
and single-stepping.
.Sp
Note: The debug console can still be activated without the \fB\-d\fR option
(by pressing control-D), however the disassembler will not be available.
.IP "\-r \fIregion\fR" 4
.IX Item "-r region"
Set region to \fBeurope\fR, \fBjapan\fR, or \fBusa\fR. Default: autodetected, or
read from config file. This option should only be needed to work around
broken or mis-detected ROMs.
.IP "\-w \fIwork-dir\fR" 4
.IX Item "-w work-dir"
Set work directory. Default: current directory.
.IP "\-c \fIconfig-file\fR" 4
.IX Item "-c config-file"
Use alternative config file. Default: \fB~/.genrc\fR.
.SH "FILES"
.IX Header "FILES"
.IP "~/.genrc" 4
.IX Item "~/.genrc"
Default config file (may be changed with \fB\-c\fR option). This file is
created when the Emulation \-> Options \-> Save button is pressed, and
(if it exists) is loaded when \fBgenerator-gtk\fR starts up. The file is
human-editable and well-commented, although users are expected to use
the Options dialog to change the settings.
.IP "\s-1ROM\s0 files" 4
.IX Item "ROM files"
\&\s-1ROM\s0 types supported: .rom or .smd interleaved (autodetected). \s-1ROM\s0 files
may be compressed with bzip2, gzip, or zip.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
.IP "Original Generator manual:" 4
.IX Item "Original Generator manual:"
http://www.squish.net/generator/manual.html
.Sp
This is the documentation for unmodified Generator 0.35. Much of the
information in the original manual doesn't apply to \fBgenerator-gtk\fR.
