SDLGNUBOY(6)

✨ NAME ✨

ok so bestie, meet sdlgnuboy — it's the gnuboy Game Boy Emulator 💖 like, your whole childhood in a terminal window, no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

sdlgnuboy [options] romfile

that's it, that's the whole vibe: you hand it a romfile and some options and it goes 🎮✨

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the thing — all the actual configuration for this icon happens through rc commands and rc variables, and the command line is literally just your little delivery service for them. here's every single one, no skips, no cuts, we're doing the full album 💿

• --source FILE — reads rc commands straight out of FILE, like it's pulling up your saved playlist 🎧
• --bind KEY COMMAND — ties KEY to perform COMMAND, so that button does the thing you want it to do 🎀
• --VAR=VALUE — sets the rc variable VAR to VALUE, exactly what it says on the label 💜
• --VAR — sets VAR to 1, which is how you flip a boolean option on ✅
• --no-VAR — sets VAR to 0, which is how you flip a boolean option off ❌
• --showvars — lists out every single rc variable that's available, a whole tour of what you can tweak 👑
• --help — shows you this very help text and then exits, waving bye 👋
• --version — spits out the version information and exits, for when you gotta know which era of gnuboy you're in ⭐
• --copying — shows the copying permissions, aka the legal tea 🍵

ngl, booleans are the moment here: bare --VAR means on, --no-VAR means off. don't overthink it, bestie 🫶

this manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, because the original program does not have a manual page — so someone had to step up and be the main character 📝💫

and that someone was Davide Puricelli <evo@debian.org>, who wrote this manual page for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but it may be used by others, generous queen 💅).

okay that's a wrap!! 🎬 this was the Games Manual page for sdlgnuboy, section 6, dated July 2001 — yes, it's a vintage baddie, and it still ate 💖🦋✨
