Masterlator v0.07b Copyright (c)2001,2002 by Christian Nowak ========================================= Sorry, this "manual" is very brief. I'll try to write a better one in the future, but I'm afraid you have to stick with this one for now ;( Usage: When starting up, Masterlator tries to read its configuration file, 'masterlator.cfg'. It may contain comments preceded by the hash character '#'. You can selectively override its settings with the command line options. Just type 'masterlator -h' and read stdout.txt to learn more about all of them. Whenever an error occurs, Masterlator will write it into the file stdout.txt. If Masterlator fails to load the configuration file and there is no command line option, it uses default settings as follows: bios = off fullscreen_stretch = off limit_speed = on joystick = off fullscreen = off frameskip = 0 key_up = up key_down = down key_left = left key_right = right key_a = z key_b = x key_start = c jap = off For the keyboard settings, you can use the following key codes: up - Cursor up down - Cursor down left - Cursor left right - Cursor right a..z - Letters F1..F15 - Function keys 0..9 - Numbers backspace tab return pause escape comma period caret delete kp0..kp9 - Numbers on the keypad kp_period - Period '' kp_divide - Divide '' kp_multiply - Multiply '' kp_minus - Minus '' kp_plus - Plus '' kp_equals - Equals '' insert home end pageup pagedown rshift - Shift right lshift - Shift left rctrl - Control right lctrl - Control left ralt - Alt right lalt - Alt left lsuper - Left Windows key rsuper - Right Windows key print After Masterlator has been started, you can load a ROM by dragging & dropping it into the program window. ZIP files are supported. If the ROM modifies the battery backed RAM for savegames, it will be saved in the 'savegames' directory, the filename being [romfile].sav (for example 'sonic.sms.sav'). If the 'savegames' directory doesn't exist, no savegames will be saved. When Masterlator is running, you can reset with 'r', toggle between fullscreen and windowed mode with LALT+Return and zoom the window with '1'..'4'. By the way, if you want to try some free and legal ROMs, visit Kojote's PDROMs website at http://www.pdroms.com/. /* Christian Nowak */ http://chn.roarvgm.com/ chnowak@web.de
