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

<H2>Unix</H2>

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

<H2>MacOS</H2>
|
|
|
|
Frodo is started by double-clicking its icon.<P>
|
|
|
|
You can quit from the running emulation by selecting the "Quit" menu
|
|
item.<P>
|
|
|
|
Frodo should be run with 8-bit color depth. The "DIR" 1541 emulation mode
|
|
and SAM are currently not implemented.<P>
|
|
|
|
See the file "MacFrodo Notes" for more information.<P>

Frodo should be started from the shell. When started from the shell, Frodo
|
|
accepts a single argument: The name of a preferences file to load instead
|
|
of the default "Frodo Prefs".<P>
|
|
|
|
At first, the window for the emulation <A HREF="settings.html">settings</A>
|
|
appears. The actual emulation is started by a click on "OK". Then the <A
|
|
HREF="emulwindow.html">emulation</A> window appears in which the C64
|
|
startup message is displayed.<P>
|
|
|
|
You can quit from the running emulation by selecting the "Quit" menu
|
|
item.<P>
|
|
|
|
Frodo opens its windows on the default public screen. This screen should
|
|
be a 256-color screen on a graphics card, otherwise the emulation will
|
|
be very slow.<P>
|
|
|
|
The AmigaOS version is somewhat experimental. You need AHI to get sound,
|
|
but the sound emulation is not very good. It might be better to leave the
|
|
SID emulation turned of for now. Only one joystick (on port 2) is supported.<P>
|
|
|
|
<H2>RISC OS</H2>
|
|
|
|
Frodo is started by double-clicking its icon. The shared resources stored in
|
|
!FrodoRsrc must have been seen by the filer first, otherwise the program will
|
|
abort with an error. Frodo and FrodoPC need 1344kB, FrodoSC 832kB to run.<p>
|
|
|
|
Frodo can be controlled with the menus and the <a href="emulwindow.html">emulator
|
|
pane</a>. You can load snapshots and native C64-files (which usually have the
|
|
filetype &64) by dragging them to the emulator window.<p>
|
|
|
|
Frodo can be run in any colour-depth, although 16bpp and especially 32bpp are
|
|
noticably slower than the others. You can toggle between two display sizes
|
|
using the pane.<p>

distribution.
