- Frodo may be started from the shell or from the Browser. 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 by
- hand (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 and HP-UX. 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>
-
- <H2>AmigaOS</H2>
-
- 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>
