.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"

.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.
