       mgba-qt — Game Boy Advance emulator

SYNOPSIS

       mgba-qt [-123456fg] [-b biosfile] [-l loglevel] [-p patchfile] [-s n] file

DESCRIPTION

       mgba-qt is a Game Boy Advance emulator.  The options are as follows:

       -1      Scale the window 1×.

       -2      Scale the window 2×.

       -3      Scale the window 3×.

       -4      Scale the window 4×.

       -5      Scale the window 5×.

       -6      Scale the window 6×.

       -b biosfile, --bios biosfile
               Specify  a  BIOS  file  to  use  during boot.  If this flag is omitted, mgba-qt will use the BIOS
               specified in the configuration file, or a high‐level emulated BIOS if none is specified.

       -f      Start the emulator full‐screen.

       -g      Start a gdb(1) session.  By default the session starts on port 2345.

       -l loglevel
               Log messages during emulation.  loglevel is a bitmask defining which types of messages to log:
               •   1 – fatal errors
               •   2 – errors
               •   4 – warnings
               •   8 – informative messages
               •   16 – debugging messages
               •   32 – stub messages for unimplemented features
               •   256 – in‐game errors
               •   512 – software interrupts
               •   1024 – emulator status messages
               •   2048 – serial I/O messages
               The default is to log warnings, errors, fatal errors, and status messages.

       -p patchfile, --patch patchfile
               Specify a patch file in BPS, IPS, or UPS format.

       -s n, --frameskip n
               Skip every n frames.

CONTROLS

       The default controls are as follows:
       A              x
       B              z
       L              a
       R              s
       Start          ⟨Enter⟩
       Select         ⟨Backspace⟩
       Load state     F1–F9
       Save state     ⟨Shift⟩‐F1–F9
       Frame advance  ⟨Ctrl⟩‐n

ENVIRONMENT

       XDG_CONFIG_HOME
               The location where mgba-qt will look for the configuration directory.  If not set,  ~/.config  is
               used.

FILES

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mgba/config.ini
               Default mgba(6) configuration file.
       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mgba/qt.ini
               Default mgba-qt configuration file.
       portable.ini
               If  this  file  exists in the current directory, mgba-qt will read config.ini and qt.ini from the
               current directory instead of $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mgba.
