It is still heavy under development and currently does not have any sound emulation. .PP 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. .PP 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. .PP .SH OPTIONS CEN64 currently supports only a very limited amount of options, a summary of these options is shown below. .TP .B \-debug [addr][:port] Starts the debugger on interface:port. By default, CEN64 uses localhost:64646. .TP .B \-profile Profile the ROM (cpu-side). .TP .B \-multithread Run in a threaded (but quasi-accurate) mode. This mode cannot be run with the debugger. .TP .B \-ddipl Path to the 64DD IPL ROM (enables 64DD mode). .TP .B \-ddrom Path to the 64DD disk ROM (requires \-ddipl). .TP .B \-headless Run emulator without user-interface components. .TP .B \-noaudio Run emulator without audio. .TP .B \-novideo Run emulator without video. .TP .B \-is-viewer IS Viewer 64 present. .TP .B \-controller num=<1-4> Controller with no pak. Pak options: num=<1-4>,pak=rumble num=<1-4>,mempak= num=<1-4>,tpak_rom=,tpak_save= .TP .B \-eep4k Path to 4 kbit EEPROM save. .TP .B \-eep16k Path to 16 kbit EEPROM save. .TP .B \-sram Path to SRAM save. .TP .B \-flash Path to FlashRAM save. .SH SEE ALSO .BR cen64-qt(1). .PP Up-to-date information can be found on the upstream website at https://www.cen64.com.

Please report any bugs concerning the actual emulator directly to the upstream bug tracker which can be found at: https://github.com/tj90241/cen64/issues. .SH AUTHOR This manual page was written by John Paul Adrian Glaubitz with contributions by Dan Hasting .
