NAME

       cen64 - Cycle-Accurate Nintendo 64 Simulator

SYNOPSIS

       cen64 [Options] <PIF IPL ROM Path> [Cart ROM Path]

DESCRIPTION

       CEN64  is  a  new Nintendo 64 emulator which aims for perfect emulation by simulating the hardware inside
       the Nintendo 64 itself, down to the register-transfer level (RTL). It is still  heavy  under  development
       and currently does not have any sound emulation.

       Being  a  cycle-accurate  emulator, CEN64 has considerably high hardware requirements to achieve passable
       performance when emulating most Nintendo 64 titles. However, similar to the  higan  emulator,  the  cycle
       accuracy guarantess very high compatibility and despite its early development stage, CEN64 already allows
       one to run several commercial titles without or with only minor glitches.

       As a distinctive feature among Nintendo 64  emulators,  CEN64  offers  emulation  support  for  the  64DD
       external  disk drive that was never released outside Japan and even there is considered rare. Thus, CEN64
       offers the unique possibility for anyone to play any of the rare titles that were exclusively released on
       the 64DD.

OPTIONS

       CEN64  currently  supports  only  a  very  limited amount of options, a summary of these options is shown
       below.

       -debug [addr][:port]
              Starts the debugger on interface:port. By default, CEN64 uses localhost:64646.

       -multithread
              Run in a threaded (but quasi-accurate) mode. This mode cannot be run with the debugger.

       -ddipl <path>
              Path to the 64DD IPL ROM (enables 64DD mode).

       -ddrom <path>
              Path to the 64DD disk ROM (requires -ddipl).

       -headless
              Run emulator without user-interface components.

       -noaudio
              Run emulator without audio.

       -novideo
              Run emulator without video.

       -is-viewer
              IS Viewer 64 present.

       -controller num=<1-4>
              Controller with no pak.

              Pak options:
                num=<1-4>,pak=rumble
                num=<1-4>,mempak=<path>
                num=<1-4>,tpak_rom=<path>,tpak_save=<path>

       -eep4k <path>
              Path to 4 kbit EEPROM save.

       -eep16k <path>
              Path to 16 kbit EEPROM save.

       -sram <path>
              Path to SRAM save.

       -flash <path>
              Path to FlashRAM save.
