TIEMU(1)TIEMU(1)NAMEtiemu - a TI's hand-helds emulator (m68k-based)
SYNOPSYStiemu [-h] [-v] [--help] [--version] [--import] [-rom=] [-tib=] [-sav=]
[filename]
DESCRIPTION
The TiEmu program allows you to emulate a Texas Instruments calculator
such as TI89, TI89 Titanium, TI92, TI92+ or V200PLT. The emulator has
also a virtual link capability which allows to connect it to another
program (such as TiLP for instance).
OPTIONS
The command line options override the default options (startup options)
and the config file options even. The TiEmu program accepts the fol‐
lowing options:
-h, --help
Display a list of all command line options.
-v, --version
Output the version info.
--import=
Import ROM or TIB into repository and exit. Can be used for cre‐
ating images (as an example). This flag must be set before -rom
or -tib !
-rom= Convert and use the specified dump as image. Note that the image
is added to the image repository. Provided for compatibility.
-tib= Convert and use the specified tib/upgrade as image. Idem. Pro‐
vided for compatibility.
-sav= Load the specified state file. Must be a valid state image and
target for emulated calculator. Provided for compatibility.
filename
Load a ROM/TIB/SAV file. ROM & TIB files are converted and added
to images repository. Image corresponding to SAV file is auto‐
matically loaded and state is load.
CONFIG FILE FORMAT
This section describes the format of the .tiemu config file which is in
the home directory of the user (Linux) or in the Program Files folder
(Win32). A line preceded by the '#' symbol is a comment. Each line has
the following format: key=value. The config file must have the
'RC_END' string at end. Every line can be put in any order. Take in
mind that any comment added in the config file will be overwritten.
Below is described each option and the possible values:
calctype= Defines the calculator type for link parameter. Valid values
are: ti89, ti89t, ti92, ti92+, v200. Note: don't need to touch this
setting, it's overridden by TiEmu. Kept for compatibility.
linktype= Define the link cable type. Choose one of the following
value: none, parallel, serial, TIGraphLink, virtual, TiEmulator, VTi,
UsbGraphLink.
port= Define a link port to use. Can be: null, user, parallel port
#1|2|3, serial port #1|2|3|4, virtual port #1|2, USB port #1.
method= Define an I/O method to use. Possible values are: automatic,
asm, api, driver, null.
adr_port= places the I/O address of the I/O port to use. It can be
0x3F8 for a serial port or 0x378 for a parallel port for instance.
serial_device= places the character device name of the serial port to
use with a Grey TIGL.
timeout= with the timeout value to use in tenth of seconds. Default
value: 20.
delay= with the delay value to use in micro-seconds for home-made
cables. Default value: 10
background= Define whether TiEmu display the whole frame (keyboard+LCD)
or just the LCD screen. Set to 0 if you do not want to use the key‐
board.
skin_file= Define the custom skin file to use. Must be a full path
name.
keys_file= Define the keymap to use. Must be a full path name.
img_file= Define the TiEmu image to load at startup. Must be a full
path name.
tib_file= Define the FLASH upgrade (tib or .9xu/.89u) to load after the
image. Must be a full path name.
sav_file= Define the calculator state image to load at startup.
cpu_rate= Give the number of instructions executed by the M68000 per
30ms timeslice. Default value is -1 (50000 insts/30ms).
hw_rate= Give the OS2/OSC3 oscillator rate. Default value is -1 (427 on
hw1 and 732 on hw2; OSC2 is incremented every 6250 OSC1 cycles).
lcd_rate= Define the frame rate of LCD refresh. Default value is -1
(25ms => 40fps). Don't use a value smaller than 10ms.
img_format= Defines the image format of the screenshots. Several for‐
mats are available: jpg, png and ico.
img_type= You can do B/W (bw) or colored (color) screenshots.
img_size= The size of the image that is to say you can shots only the
LCD (lcd) or the entire window (skin).
screen_file= Defines the base filename where the screenshot will be
stored.
screen_counter= This allows you to save the current screenshot counter.
In fact, the resulting filename is computed as 'screen‐
file[screen_counter].[img_format]. Example: 'screenshot001.png'.
screen_shots= Number of frames to capture.
screen_skips= Number of frame to skip between 2 captures.
console= Available under Windows platform only. You can hide (no) or
show (yes) the DOS console at startup or even display it only during
boot (boot).
kbd_dbg= Display key bindings in the console if set (yes). Else, do
nothing (no).
fs_type= TiEmu supports several file selectors for better integration.
The following options are supported:
- native: native one (default): Win32 on Windows, KDE if built with KDE
support and running under KDE, GTK+ 2.x else,
- old: GTK 1.2 file selector,
- new: GTK 2.x file selector (advanced capabilities and can show hidden
files),
- win32: deprecated (same as native),
- kde: KDE file selector (only available if TiEmu is built with KDE
support).
bkpts_wnd=
code_wnd=
mem_wnd=
regs_wnd=
pclog_wnd=
stack_wnd=
heap_wnd= Set geometry hints for the different windows of the debugger.
The format is (x,y,w,h,m,v) where x&y are coordinates, w&h are the
size, m is set if window is minimized and v is set if the window is
open.
dbg_font_type= Enable custom font if set to "custom"; use default font
if set to "default".
dbg_font_name= Name of font to use. It must be a valid Pango descrip‐
tion font name: a string representation in the form "[FAMILY-LIST]
[STYLE-OPTIONS] [SIZE]", where FAMILY-LIST is a comma separated list of
families optionally terminated by a comma, STYLE_OPTIONS is a white‐
space separated list of words where each WORD describes one of style,
variant, weight, or stretch, and SIZE is an decimal number (size in
points). Any one of the options may be absent. If FAMILY-LIST is
absent, then the family_name field of the resulting font description
will be initialized to NULL. If STYLE-OPTIONS is missing, then all
style options will be set to the default values. If SIZE is missing,
the size in the resulting font description will be set to 0.
Think to terminate your config script with the 'RC_END' word !!!
