Hey

I have just put together a file describing the runtime options for
e-uae, it might be something that should be included in future releases
of e-uae.

It is based on: 
e-uae-0.8.27/src/cfgfile.c
uae-0.8.23/docs/unix/README

It is a bit incomplete, but the major parts are there. If you have any
correction/additions please mail me and I will corrected/add them.

Command line options for E-UAE
==============================

-h
 usage 

-0/1/2/3
 floppy image in dfX, e.g. -1 = df1

-r
 Path to rom file: Kickstart ROM image, (C) Copyright Amiga, Inc.

-K
 Path to key file: Key-file for encrypted ROM images (from Cloanto's Amiga 
Forever)

-p
 prtname

-m/M 
 Use filesystem as Amiga volume, arguments are: access,'Amiga 
volume-name':'host directory path' - where 'access' can be 'read-only' or 
'read-write'

-W
 Hardfile specifications, arguments are: access, sectors, surfaces, reserved, 
blocksize, path format

-S
 parse_sound_spec

-R
 frame rate, between 1 and 20

-i
 print illegal memory access by Amiga software?

-J
 joystick: Use -J xy, where x and y can be 0 for joystick 0, 1 for joystick 1, 
M for mouse, and a, b or c for different keyboard settings.

-t
 test drawing speed

-L
 if compiled with X11 GFX support: Use "low-bandwidth" mode, which can reduce 
the amount of data transferred between UAE and the X server. That's 
particularly an advantage when these are running on two different machines in a 
network.

-T
 if compiled with X11 GFX support: Use the MIT-SHM extension. This may not be 
available on all machines, and it will not work if UAE and the X server are not 
running on the same machine. In all other configurations, turning on this 
option will give you a huge speed improvement.
 if compiled with Amiga GFX support: enable amiga_use_grey

-x
 if compiled with X11 GFX support: Turn off the X11 mouse cursor for the UAE 
window. Personally, I find that seeing the X cursor helps, but that's a matter 
of taste. 
 if compiled with Amiga GFX support: disable dithering of display

-w
 cpu speed: can be -1 for max 0 for real, or a number between 1 and 5120

-G
 disable GUI and goes straight to emulator

-D
 Enable the debugger

-n
 Perform blits immediately, 0: disable, 1: enable

-v
 Amiga chipset: 0: OCS, 1: ECS Agnus, 2: Full ECS, 3: ECS Agnus (again?), 4: AGA

-C
 takes a numerical argument: Can be 0: 68000, 1: 68010, 2: 68020, 3: 
68020/68881, 4: 68040

-Z
 Size of z3 memory, can be 0,1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128 or 256 mb

-U
 Size of Picasso96 memory, can be 0,1,2,4,8,16 or 32 mb

-F
 Size in megabytes of fast-memory, can be 0,1,2,4 or 8 mb

-b
 Size in megabytes of bogo-memory at 0xC00000, can be 0: none, 2: 512kb, 4: 
1mb, 8: 1.8mb

-c
 Size in megabytes of chip-memory, can be: 1: 512kb, 2: 1mb, 3: 2mb, 6: 4mb, 9: 
8mb

-l
 keyboard language: (possible arguments: de, dk, us, se, fr, it, es)

-O
 The format to use is: "width:height:modifiers", where modifiers are: l: Treat 
display as lo-res, x: Center display horizontally, y: Center display 
vertically, d: double line, a: fullscreen Amiga, p: fullscreen Picasso96, c: 
Correct aspect ratio

-d 
 Argument is either S for Serial on demand, or P for Parallel on demand.

-H
 color_mode, or amiga_screen_type (if compiled with Amiga GFX support)
