STEEM(6)

NAME
steem - the Atari STE emulator for Linux/X11

SYNOPSIS
steem [options] [disk_image_a [disk_image_b]] [cartridge] [tos_image]

steem [options] [state_file]

DESCRIPTION
Steem is a Freeware Atari ST/STE emulator for Windows and Linux.

OPTIONS

  Image Files

[disk_image_a], [disk_image_b]
    Optional disk images to be used for the ST's A: and B: drives. File types supported are ST/MSA/DIM/STT/ZIP/RAR. If 2 disks are specified, the first will be ST drive A: and the second drive B:.

[cartridge]
    Optional name of a cartridge image (.STC) to be loaded.

[state_file]
    state file: previously saved state file (.STS) to load. If none is specified, Steem will load "auto.sts" provided the relevant option is checked in the Options dialog.

[tos_image]
    TOS image file to use. By default, this is set in steem.ini and does not need setting on the command line. For most games and applications, the TOS image should be the UK v1.02 image (tos102.img).

  Switches
Options are case-independent and can be prefixed by -, --, / or nothing.

NOSHM
    disable use of Shared Memory.

NOSOUND
    no sound output.

SOF=<n>
    set sound output frequency to <n> Hz.

PABUFSIZE=<n>
    set PortAudio buffer size to <n> samples.

FONT=<string>
    use a different font.

HELP
    print help message and quit.

INI=<file>
    use <file> instead of steem.ini to initialise options.

TRANS=<file>
    use <file> instead of searching for Translate.txt or Translate_*.txt to translate the GUI text.

All of these options (except INI= and TRANS=) can be changed from the GUI once steem is running. It is easiest just to run steem and play with the GUI.

FILES

/usr/bin/steem
    Shell script wrapper that sets up the environment for the actual steem binary.

/usr/libexec/steem
    Actual steem binary. Don't run directly, as it doesn't behave in a very Linux-friendly way.

~/.steem/
    Directory steem executes in. Contains steem.ini and all save-state files, including auto.sts.
