Frodo may be started from the shell or from the Tracker. When started from |
| 14 |
the shell, Frodo accepts a single argument: The name of a preferences file |
| 15 |
to load instead of the default "Frodo Prefs".<P> |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
At first, the window for the emulation <A HREF="settings.html">settings</A> |
| 18 |
appears. The actual emulation is started by a click on "Start". Then the <A |
| 19 |
HREF="emulwindow.html">emulation</A> window appears in which the C64 |
| 20 |
startup message is displayed.<P> |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
You can quit from the running emulation by selecting the "Quit" menu |
| 23 |
item.<P> |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Frodo should be run in a 256-color workspace for maximum speed.<P> |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Sampled sounds are only played correctly if "Limit Speed" is on and "Draw every |
| 28 |
n-th frame" is set to "1" and if the emulation can sustain 100% speed.<P> |
| 29 |

<H2>Unix</H2> |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Frodo accepts a single argument when started from the shell: The name of a |
| 33 |
preferences file to load instead of the default "~/.frodorc".<P> |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
First the <A HREF="emulwindow.html">emulation</A> window appears in which |
| 36 |
the C64 startup message is displayed. If you have Tcl/Tk 4.1 installed |
| 37 |
and the file "TkGui.tcl" is in the current directory, a second window opens |
| 38 |
for the emulation <A HREF="settings.html">settings</A>.<P> |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
If you have no Tcl/Tk or are using the SVGAlib version under Linux, you |
| 41 |
have to copy the included "Frodo Prefs" file to "~/.frodorc" and edit it manually |
| 42 |
(read "Prefs.cpp" to find out about the syntax of the settings file). |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
You can quit from the running emulation by pressing F10.<P> |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Sound is currently only supported under Linux, HP-UX and Solaris 2.x. Sampled |
| 47 |
sounds are only played correctly if "Limit Speed" is on and "Draw every n-th frame" |
| 48 |
is set to "1" and if the emulation can sustain 100% speed.<P> |
| 49 |

<H2>MacOS</H2> |

|
| 52 |
Frodo is started by double-clicking its icon.<P> |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
You can quit from the running emulation by selecting the "Quit" menu |
| 55 |
item.<P> |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Frodo should be run with 8-bit color depth. The "DIR" 1541 emulation mode |
| 58 |
and SAM are currently not implemented.<P> |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
See the file "MacFrodo Notes" for more information.<P> |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
<H2>AmigaOS</H2> |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
Frodo should be started from the shell. When started from the shell, Frodo |
| 65 |
accepts a single argument: The name of a preferences file to load instead |
| 66 |
of the default "Frodo Prefs".<P> |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
At first, the window for the emulation <A HREF="settings.html">settings</A> |
| 69 |
appears. The actual emulation is started by a click on "OK". Then the <A |
| 70 |
HREF="emulwindow.html">emulation</A> window appears in which the C64 |
| 71 |
startup message is displayed.<P> |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
You can quit from the running emulation by selecting the "Quit" menu |
| 74 |
item.<P> |
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
Frodo opens its windows on the default public screen. This screen should |
| 77 |
be a 256-color screen on a graphics card, otherwise the emulation will |
| 78 |
be very slow.<P> |
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
The AmigaOS version is somewhat experimental. You need AHI to get sound, |
| 81 |
but the sound emulation is not very good. It might be better to leave the |
| 82 |
SID emulation turned of for now. Only one joystick (on port 2) is supported.<P> |
| 83 |
|
| 84 |
<H2>RISC OS</H2> |
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
Frodo is started by double-clicking its icon. The shared resources stored in |
| 87 |
!FrodoRsrc must have been seen by the filer first, otherwise the program will |
| 88 |
abort with an error. Frodo and FrodoPC need 1344kB, FrodoSC 832kB to run.<p> |
| 89 |
|
| 90 |
Frodo can be controlled with the menus and the <a href="emulwindow.html">emulator |
| 91 |
pane</a>. You can load snapshots and native C64-files (which usually have the |
| 92 |
filetype &64) by dragging them to the emulator window.<p> |
| 93 |
|
| 94 |
Frodo can be run in any colour-depth, although 16bpp and especially 32bpp are |
| 95 |
noticably slower than the others. You can toggle between two display sizes |
| 96 |
using the pane.<p> |
| 97 |
