At first, the window for the emulation <A HREF="settings.html">settings</A> |

To quit Frodo, either close the emulation window, or press F10 to bring up |

Frodo may be started from the shell or from the Tracker. When started from |

Frodo should be started from the shell. When started from the shell, Frodo |

Frodo opens its windows on the default public screen. This screen should |
| 71 |
|
|
be a 256-color screen on a graphics card, otherwise the emulation will |
| 72 |
|
|
be very slow.<P> |

|
|
|

|
|
The AmigaOS version is somewhat experimental. You need AHI to get sound, |
| 75 |
|
|
but the sound emulation is not very good. It might be better to leave the |
| 76 |
|
|
SID emulation turned of for now. Only one joystick (on port 2) is supported.<P> |

Frodo is started by double-clicking its icon. The shared resources stored in |
| 81 |
|
|
!FrodoRsrc must have been seen by the filer first, otherwise the program will |
| 82 |
|
|
abort with an error. Frodo and FrodoPC need 1344kB, FrodoSC 832kB to run.<p> |
| 83 |
|
|
|
| 84 |
|
|
Frodo can be controlled with the menus and the <a href="emulwindow.html">emulator |
| 85 |
|
|
pane</a>. You can load snapshots and native C64-files (which usually have the |
| 86 |
|
|
filetype &64) by dragging them to the emulator window.<p> |
| 87 |
|
|
|
| 88 |
|
|
Frodo can be run in any colour-depth, although 16bpp and especially 32bpp are |
| 89 |
|
|
noticably slower than the others. You can toggle between two display sizes |
| 90 |
|
|
using the pane.<p> |
