USER MANUAL FOR SUPERMODEL VERSION 0.2A
================
Introduction
================
Supermodel emulates the Sega Model 3 arcade platform. It uses OpenGL 2.1 and
runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. In order to use it, you must legally
possess ROM images of Model 3 games. Learning to operate Supermodel will come
with a steep learning curve for most people. Before seeking out help, please
read this user manual carefully.
Supermodel is distributed as free software under the terms of the GNU General
Public License, included in LICENSE.txt. Additional copyright information for
software included within Supermodel is located at the bottom of this file.
The source code may be obtained from the official Supermodel web site:
http://www.Supermodel3.com
==============
Disclaimer
==============
This is an early public release of Supermodel. It is very much preliminary,
alpha version software (hence the 'a' in the version number). Development
began in January of 2011 and has focused on reverse engineering aspects of the
Model 3 that are still unknown. Consequently, many important features, such as
a proper user interface, are not yet implemented and game compatibility is
still low.

1. Revision History
=======================
Version 0.2a (September 24, 2011)
- New, fully customizable input system. Supports any combination of
keyboards, mice, and analog and digital controllers. [Nik Henson]
- Texture offsets. Fixes models in 'Fighting Vipers 2', 'Virtual On',
cars in the 'Scud Race' and 'Daytona USA 2' selection screens, etc.
- Fixed a 2D palette bug that would cause black pixels to occasionally
turn transparent.
- Added all remaining ROM sets. [krom]
- Got some new games to boot: 'Spikeout', 'Ski Champ', 'Sega Bass
Fishing', 'Dirt Devils', etc.
- Sound support. Special thanks to ElSemi for contributing his SCSP
emulator and Karl Stenerud for allowing us to use his 68K emulator.
- Multi-threading support. Sound and drive board emulation are off-
loaded to separate threads, substantially enhancing performance.
[Nik Henson]
- Z80 emulation based on code by Frank D. Cringle and YAZE-AG by
Andreas Gerlich.
- Digital Sound Board (MPEG music) emulation courtesy of R. Belmont and
the MPEG decoder library by Tomislav Uzelac.
- Improved ROM loader. It should no longer be as easily confused by
combined ROM sets as long as unused files are removed.
- Configuration file now supports more settings and allows game-
specific customization.
- Added light gun crosshairs ('The Lost World'), enabled by default in
full screen mode and selectable by pressing Alt-I.
- Drive board and force feedback emulation for 'Scud Race', 'Daytona
USA 2', and 'Sega Rally 2'. [Nik Henson]
- Viewable display area properly clipped. Ghost artifacts no longer
appear in border regions when the resolution exceeds the display
area.
- Changed gear shifting: added a dedicated neutral gear and sequential
shifting.
- Console-based debugger (not enabled by default, must be
enabled during compile-time). [Nik Henson]
- Source code and Makefile cleanup.
Version 0.1.2a (April 3, 2011)
- Included missing GLEW files.
Version 0.1.1a (April 2, 2011)
- Minor source code update.
- Set Render3D to NULL in the CReal3D constructor. Fixes crashes that
occur on some builds. [Nik Henson]
- Cleaned up UNIX Makefile and added OS X Makefile. [R. Belmont]
- Small changes to ppc_ops.cpp for C++0x compliance. [R. Belmont]
- Included glew.h into the source tree. [R. Belmont]
- Changed WIN32 definition to SUPERMODEL_WIN32.
Version 0.1a (April 1, 2011)
- Initial public alpha release.
============================
2. Installing Supermodel
============================
To install Supermodel on Windows, extract the ZIP archive containing the
Supermodel executable to a folder of your choice. The following files and
directories should be created:
Name Description
---- -----------
Supermodel.exe Supermodel program. Run this.
SDL.dll The SDL library. Use the bundled DLL file.
README.txt This text file.
LICENSE.txt Supermodel license and terms of use.
Config/ Directory where the configuration file is stored.
Config/Supermodel.ini Configuration file containing default input
settings.
NVRAM/ Directory where NVRAM contents will be saved.
Saves/ Directory where save states will be saved.
Supermodel requires OpenGL 2.1 and a substantial amount of both video and
system memory. A very fast CPU and GPU are needed to achieve playable frame
rates.
As of this version, Linux and Mac OS X binaries are not provided. Users must
compile their own.
=========================
3. Running Supermodel
=========================
For now, Supermodel does not include a proper user interface. It is operated
entirely from the command line. Run 'supermodel' without any command line
arguments for an explanation of supported options.
Supermodel uses MAME-compatible ROM sets. It loads from ZIP archives based on
file checksums and automatically detects games; therefore, file names are not
important. Only one ZIP file can be specified on the command line. For
example:
supermodel scud.zip -fullscreen
This will load 'scud.zip' (Scud Race) and run it in full screen mode.
Initially, inputs are assigned according to the settings in 'Supermodel.ini',
located in the 'Config' subdirectory.
Note that there is no user interface and all messages are printed to the
command prompt. In full screen mode, they will not be visible.
=========================
4. Game Compatibility
=========================
Supermodel recognizes all known Model 3 ROM sets but not all of them are
playable. Below is a compatibility matrix. The most obvious problem with each
ROM set is reported.

+-----------+-----------------------------------------+-----+-----------------+
Most ROM sets suffering from severe graphical problems are categorized as non-
playable when in fact many are partially playable. Controls may not be fully
functional, however, and none have been tested thoroughly.
=====================
5. Video Settings
=====================
Supermodel may be run in either windowed (default) or full screen mode. It
automatically adjusts the display area to retain the aspect ratio of the Model
3's native (and Supermodel's default) resolution, 496x384. Currently, this
cannot be overriden. Changing video modes at run-time is not yet supported.
By default, Supermodel limits the frame rate to 60 frames per second. This has
no impact on performance except when the frame rate exceeds 60 FPS on fast
systems. Frame rate limiting can be disabled with the '-no-throttle' option.
Some video drivers may continue to lock to the refresh rate.
To change the resolution, use the '-res' command line option. For full screen
mode, use '-fullscreen'. For example, to set a full screen 1920x1080 mode,
try:
supermodel game.zip -res=1920,1080 -fullscreen
Video settings may also be specified globally or on a per-game basis in the
configuration file, described elsewhere in this manual.
=====================
6. Audio Settings
=====================
All Model 3 games have a sound board that is used for sound effects and, in
some games, background music. A few games use additional Digital Sound Boards
(DSB) for MPEG music. 'Music' in Supermodel refers exclusively to MPEG music
produced by the DSB and 'sound' refers to both the sound effects and background
music produced by the regular sound board.
Model 3 sound and MPEG music are generated separately and then mixed by an
amplifier. The relative signal levels are not known, so Supermodel simply
outputs all audio at full volume. This causes the MPEG music to be too quiet
in some games ('Scud Race', 'Daytona USA 2') and too loud in others ('Star Wars
Trilogy'). The '-sound-volume' and '-music-volume' options can be used to
change the volume. As arguments, they take a volume level in percent ranging
from 0 (muted) to 200% (maximum, doubled amplitude). For example:
supermodel game.zip -sound-volume=50 -music-volume=170
This command line cuts the sound volume in half and increases the music volume
by 70%.
The F9 and F10 keys can be used to adjust music volume during run-time, while
F11 and F12 control sound volume.
Clipping and distortion will occur if the combined sound and music volume
levels become too high.
To disable sound and music board emulation altogether, use the '-no-sound' and
'-no-dsb' options. These will not merely mute the corresponding audio channels
but will prevent the audio co-processors from being emulated altogether. Save
states generated with these settings may not be able to properly restore audio
when loaded after emulation is re-enabled.
Audio settings may also be specified globally or on a per-game basis in the
configuration file, described elsewhere in this document.
Please keep in mind that MPEG music emulation is preliminary and the decoder is
buggy. Periodic squeaks and pops occur on many music tracks. The Sega Custom
Sound Processor (SCSP) emulator, used for sound emulation, is an older version
of ElSemi's code and also quite buggy. Sound glitches are known to occur now
and then, and many sounds and tunes do not sound quite correct yet.
===============
7. Controls
===============
Game controls are fully configurable and can be mapped to keyboards, mice, and
game controllers. Emulator functions, on the other hand, cannot be changed and
are listed below.
Function Key Assignment
-------- --------------
Exit Escape
Pause Alt-P
Reset Alt-R
Clear NVRAM Alt-N
Crosshairs (for light gun games) Alt-I
Toggle 60 Hz Frame Limiting Alt-T
Save State F5
Load State F7
Change Save Slot F6
Decrease Music Volume F9
Increase Music Volume F10
Decrease Sound Volume F11
Increase Sound Volume F12
Learning and Configuring Game Controls
--------------------------------------
Settings for game controls are stored in 'Supermodel.ini'. To learn the
current configuration, use the '-print-inputs' command line option. If you
delete 'Supermodel.ini', all inputs will become unmapped and will have to be
reconfigured!
supermodel -print-inputs
If you wish to reconfigure, use the '-config-inputs' option. A blank window
will open up and instructions will be printed to the command prompt. Read them
carefully! Pressing the Escape key exits without saving changes. Pressing 'q'
will save changes to 'Supermodel.ini'. You can choose which input to configure
using the Up and Down arrow keys. Clearing an input means it will be unusable.
If the configuration dialog is not responding to your key presses, make sure
that the blank pop-up window rather than the command prompt is selected. This
may seem counter-intuitive but inputs are captured by the graphical window
while messages are printed to the command prompt.
XBox 360 Controllers
--------------------
For full XBox 360 controller support, the XInput system must be used on Windows
('-input-system=xinput'). Otherwise, the left and right trigger buttons cannot
be mapped individually and force feedback will not work. Please read the
section titled 'Input Systems', further below.
Mac OS X users can use Colin Munro's XBox 360 controller driver:
http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver
Analog Controls
---------------
Analog controls, such as steering wheels, pedals, and the light gun axes, can
be mapped to analog controllers, such as joysticks, wheels, and mice, if
available. Under digital control, the analog value will increment or decrement
until it reaches its maximum/minimum values. The rate of change can only be
set manually in the configuration file. These options are described elsewhere
in this document.
Most analog inputs, such as the steering wheel, require two settings to be
controlled digitally. For example, the steering wheel can be turned left and
right by setting 'Steer Left' and 'Steer Right', or it can be mapped to a
single analog control ('Full Steering').
Shifting Gears
--------------
Racing game gears can be mapped to individual buttons, including one for the
neutral position, or can be shifted sequentially. Games which only provide two
gears name them 'Up' and 'Down'. These should not be confused with 'Shift Up'
and 'Shift Down', the sequential shift commands.
Virtual On Twin Joysticks
-------------------------
'Virtual On Oratorio Tangram' features a twin joystick control scheme similar
to a tracked vehicle (e.g. a tank). Movement is accomplished by pushing both
joysticks in the same direction. Pushing and pulling in opposite directions
will turn the robot, while pulling the joysticks apart sideways or pushing them
inwards are for jumping and falling back down to the ground, respectively.
Supermodel supports mapping the individual joysticks but also provides 'macro'
controls by default. These allow all the necessary twin joystick commands to
be replicated with individual controls. The mapping is below:
Macro Control Twin Joystick Equivalent
------------- ------------------------
Turn Left Left joystick down, right joystick up.
Turn Right Left joystick up, right joystick down.
Forward Both joysticks up.
Reverse Both joysticks down.
Strafe Left Both joysticks left.
Strafe Right Both joysticks right.
Jump Left joystick left, right joystick right.
Crouch Left joystick right, right joystick left.
Light Guns
----------
Light gun axes can be mapped to mice, analog controls, or even digital buttons.
To simulate pointing off-screen (required in order to reload), a 'point off-
screen' input is provided which, for as long as it is pressed, will aim the gun
off-screen. To reload, hold down this button and then, while holding it, press
the trigger. For automatic reloading, the 'InputAutoTrigger' setting can be
enabled in the configuration file (described elsewhere in this manual).
Crosshairs will be visible in full screen mode and can also be enabled in
windowed modes. Use Alt-I to cycle through different crosshair options (enable
for a single player, both, or none).
For multiple mouse support, allowing two mice or PC light guns to be mapped,
Raw Input must be used. This is supported only on Windows and is described
below.
Input Systems
-------------
Supermodel supports multiple input APIs to provide the best possible
compatibility for different input devices and configuration schemes. On
Windows, the default is DirectInput. On all other platforms, SDL is the only
option available.
Windows users can select between four different input systems:
- DirectInput. Selected with '-input-system=dinput'. This is the default.
It provides the best support for PC game controllers and, when emulating
force feedback, allows all effects (if the controller supports them).
- XInput. Selected with '-input-system=xinput'. This must be used with
XBox 360 controllers, otherwise some buttons will not be usable and force
feedback will not work.
- Raw Input. Selected with '-input-system=rawinput'. This is intended for
use with multiple mice and keyboards but is not recommended otherwise.
- SDL. Selected with '-input-system=sdl'. The standard, cross-platform
input system intended for non-Windows builds. It is accessible on
Windows but does not provide full support for all devices.
When switching input systems with '-input-system', you must also configure your
inputs using the same option. For example, when running Supermodel with XInput
('supermodel game.zip -input-system=xinput'), you must also configure with
XInput ('supermodel -config-inputs -input-system=xinput'). Many settings are
not compatible between input systems.
A common mistake is to configure inputs using one system and then launch
Supermodel with another.
=====================
8. Force Feedback
=====================
Force feedback is presently supported in 'Scud Race' (including 'Scud Race
Plus'), 'Daytona USA 2' (both editions), and 'Sega Rally 2' on Windows only. To
enable it, use the '-force-feedback' option.
Drive board ROMs are required. They first appear in the MAME 0.143u6 ROM
catalog and at the time of this writing, have not yet widely proliferated.
Game Drive Board ROM File Size Checksum (CRC32)
---- -------------------- ---- ----------------
Daytona USA 2 epr-20985.bin 64 KB B139481D
Scud Race epr-19338a.bin 64 KB C9FAC464
Sega Rally 2 epr-20512.bin 64 KB CF64350D
The sizes and checksums must match those listed above. The file names may be
different but will almost certainly contain the same identifying numbers.
Ensure that the appropriate drive board ROM files are present in the
corresponding games' ZIP archives, otherwise Supermodel will silently proceed
without force feedback.
Force feedback will only work with the DirectInput (the default on Windows) and
XInput input systems. XInput is intended only for XBox 360 controllers, which
do not support force feedback through DirectInput.
Tuning Force Feedback
---------------------
Force feedback can be enabled and tuned in the configuration file. Setting
'ForceFeedback' to 1 enables it:
ForceFeedback = 1
There are four DirectInput effects: constant force, self centering, friction,
and vibration. The strength of each can be tuned with the following settings:
DirectInputConstForceMax = 100
DirectInputSelfCenterMax = 100
DirectInputFrictionMax = 100
DirectInputVibrateMax = 100
They are given as percentages and represent the maximum strength for each
effect. A setting of 0 disables them entirely. Values above 100% are
accepted but may clip or distort the effect (and possibly damage your
hardware). By default, they are set to 100%, as shown above.
XInput devices only support vibration feedback via the left and right motors.
Because the characteristics of the motors are different, the effects will feel
somewhat asymmetric. The constant force effect is simulated with vibrations.
The relevant settings are:
XInputConstForceThreshold = 30
XInputConstForceMax = 100
XInputVibrateMax = 100
The constant force threshold specifies how strong a constant force command must
be before it is sent to the controller as a vibration effect (whose strength is
determined by XInputConstForceMax). The default values are shown above and
will require calibration by the user on a game-by-game basis to achieve the
best feel.
============================
9. Save States and NVRAM
============================
Save states are saved and restored by pressing F5 and F7, respectively. Up to
10 different save slots can be selected with F6. All files are written to the
Saves/ directory, which must exist beforehand. If you extracted the Supermodel
ZIP file correctly, it will have been created automatically.
If a Model 3 co-processor (ie. sound board, DSB, drive board) is disabled when
a save state is taken, it will not resume normal operation when the state is
loaded, even if Supermodel is running with the co-processor re-enabled. The
drive board (and consequently, force feedback effects) is explicitly disabled
for the remainder of the session if a save state with an inactive drive board
is loaded. Audio co-processors are not, and therefore audio playback may
eventually resume after the audio boards have booted themselves up.
Non-volatile memory (NVRAM) consists of battery-backed backup RAM and an EEPROM
chip. The former is used for high score data and statistics whereas the latter
stores machine settings (often accessed using the Test buttons). NVRAM is
automatically saved each time Supermodel exits and is loaded at start-up. It
can be cleared by deleting the NVRAM files or pressing Alt-N.
=======================================
10. Game-Specific Comments and Tips
=======================================
Daytona USA 2 and Daytona USA 2 Power Edition
---------------------------------------------
To bypass the network board error, enter the Test Menu by pressing the Test
button. Navigate to 'Game Assignments' using the Service button and select it
with Test. Change 'Link ID' from 'Master' to 'Single'.
In 'Daytona USA 2', the region menu can be accessed by entering the Test Menu,
holding down the Start button, and pressing: VR4, VR4, VR2, VR3, VR1, VR3, VR2.
Changing the region to USA changes game text to English.
By default, the 'Power Edition' ROM set features remixed music lyrics by
Takenobu Mitsuyoshi. These can be changed back to the Dennis St. James version
in the Test Menu, under 'Game Assignments'.
Le Mans 24
----------
The region can be changed by entering the test menu (press the Test button) and
pressing: Start, Start, Service, Service, Start, Test.
Star Wars Trilogy
-----------------
Inserting coins and starting a game before any 3D graphics have been displayed
in attract mode will result in a PowerPC crash before the stage loads. This is
caused by an unknown emulation bug. Simply wait until the Darth Vader sequence
appears before attempting to start a game.
If 'Star Wars Trilogy' is booting directly into the stage select screen, it is
probably because you exited Supermodel with credits still in the machine.
Clear the NVRAM (Alt-N) and reset the game (Alt-R).
Sega Rally 2
------------
As with 'Star Wars Trilogy', you may experience problems if you attempt to
start a game before any 3D graphics are displayed (for example, during the Sega
logo).
The region can be changed by entering the test menu (press the Test button) and
then pressing the Service button four times for short durations, twice for long
durations, twice for short durations, and once again for a long duration.
Spikeout and Spikeout Final Edition
-----------------------------------
These games can be played all the way through but may lock up during the
attract mode. There are periodic texture glitches due to Supermodel's
inadequate texture caching system and possibly also due to a texture offset
bug.
The Lost World
--------------
To reload, the light gun must be pointed off-screen by pressing (and holding)
the 'off-screen' button and, simultaneously, pressing the trigger to shoot.
This behavior can be changed with the 'InputAutoTrigger' setting in the
configuration file.
The region can be changed by entering the test menu (press the Test button) and
pressing: Start, Start, Service, Start, Service, Test. Use the player 1 Start
button.
Virtua Fighter 3
----------------
The game is playable but there are numerous graphical glitches, particularly
during transition scenes.
Virtua Striker 2 '98 (Step 1.5 and 2.0 versions)
------------------------------------------------
The Virtua Striker games all run very slowly for an unknown reason.
The region can be changed by entering the test menu (press the Test button)
and, in the 'Game Assignments' menu, performing the following sequence:
1. Press the Service button once for about 5 seconds.
2. Press the Service button three times shortly.
3. Press the Service button again one time for about 5 seconds.
==============================
11. Merging Split ROM Sets
==============================
ROMs that are split into parent and child sets (eg., 'Scud Race Plus', whose
parent ROM set is 'Scud Race') must be combined into a single ZIP file. ROM
files from the parent set that have the same IC numbers (usually the file
extension but sometimes the number in the file name itself) as child ROMs
should be deleted, otherwise Supermodel may choose to load the parent game.
For example, 'Scud Race Plus' is normally distributed containing only the
following files:
epr-20092a.17
epr-20093a.18
epr-20094a.19
epr-20095a.20
epr-20096a.21
mpr-20097.13
mpr-20098.14
mpr-20099.15
mpr-20100.16
mpr-20101.24
To merge with the parent ROM set, copy over all files from 'Scud Race' except
those with extension numbers 17-21, 13-16, and 24. Some 'Scud Race Plus' ROM
sets may have 'mpr-20101.23' instead of 'mpr-20101.24'. They are the same file
and in both cases should replace the file with extension 24 from 'Scud Race'
('mpr-19671.24').
==============================
12. The Configuration File
==============================
Supermodel reads configuration settings from 'Supermodel.ini' located in the
'Config' subdirectory. If Supermodel was installed properly, a default file
should have been created. When starting up, Supermodel parses settings in the
following order:
1. Global settings are read from 'Supermodel.ini'. These include input
mappings and apply to all games.
2. If the ROM set was loaded correctly, game-specific settings are read
from 'Supermodel.ini', overriding settings from step 1.
3. Command line options are applied, overriding settings from the previous
steps.
In other words, command line options have the highest precedence, followed by
game-specific settings, and lastly, global settings.
An index of all allowed settings is provided further below in this document.
NOTE: Type carefully! Supermodel will not report syntax errors nor detect
typos. Carefully read the discussion of the file syntax below. To verify that
your intended settings are taking effect, check the 'error.log' file that is
produced by Supermodel during each run.
File Structure and Syntax
-------------------------
The configuration file is a list of settings grouped by sections. All setting
names and their arguments are case sensitive. They take the form:
Name = Argument
Only one setting per line is allowed. Only two types of arguments are allowed:
integers and strings. The choice of which to use is determined by the setting.
Integers are unsigned and begin at 0. Strings can contain any characters and
are enclosed by double quotes. Examples:
IntegerSetting1 = 0
IntegerSetting2 = 65536
StringSetting1 = "This is a string."
StringSetting2 = "123"
StringSetting3 = "1+1, abc, these are all valid characters!"
Many settings are simply boolean variables expecting an integer value of either
0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled). Some settings require values and others take
strings for file names or input mappings.
Section names appear in between square brackets on their own lines.
[ SectionName ]
Settings that appear at the beginning of the file without a preceeding section
are automatically assigned to 'Global'.
Comments begin with a semicolon and extend until the end of the line.
; This is a comment.
Global and Game-Specific Sections
---------------------------------
Sections determine whether settings are applied globally, to all games, or to
specific games. Game-specific settings will override global settings and can
be used to tune Supermodel on a game-by-game basis. Global settings must be
placed in the 'Global' section and game-specific settings in sections named
after the ROM sets. ROM sets must be typed in lower case and use the MAME
(http://www.mamedev.org) naming convention. They can be obtained by running
'supermodel -print-games'.
Input mappings are special. They are only read from the 'Global' section!
In the example below, custom configurations are created for 'Scud Race' and
'The Lost World'. All other games will use the global settings.
[ Global ]
; Run full screen at 1024x768
XResolution = 1024
YResolution = 768
FullScreen = 1
; Scud Race
[ scud ]
; Run at 1080p
XResolution = 1920
YResolution = 1080
; Music is too quiet by default
SoundVolume = 50
MusicVolume = 200
; The Lost World
[ lostwsga ]
PowerPCFrequency = 25 ; run PowerPC at 25 MHz
In this example, only 'Scud Race' will run at 1920x1080. All other games will
use 1024x768. 'Scud Race' will also have altered volume settings. 'The Lost
World' will be run with a lower PowerPC frequency but all other games will use
the default.
Input Mappings
--------------
Input mappings are specified with strings that have their own internal syntax.
They may only be specified in the 'Global' section and are ignored elsewhere.
... TODO: write me
The complete list of input settings can be found in the settings index below or
by generating a configuration file using '-config-inputs'.
=====================================
13. Index of Command Line Options
=====================================
All valid command line settings are listed here, ordered by category. Defaults
are given under the assumption that they have not been changed in the
configuration file.
Square brackets ('[' and ']') indicate optional parameters. Angled brackets
('<' and '>') indicate mandatory parameters. Do not type the brackets. No
spaces may appear inside of an option. For example, 'supermodel game.zip
-ppc-frequency=25' is correct but 'supermodel game.zip -ppc-frequency = 25' is
not. All options are case sensitive.
Option: -?
-h
Description: Prints a message with an overview of the command line
options and how to run Supermodel.
----------------
Option: -print-games
Description: Lists all supported ROM sets. Not all supported ROM sets
are playable yet.
----------------
Option: -no-threads
Description: Disables multi-threading. When enabled (the default), the
PowerPC, graphics rendering, and user interface are run in
one thread, sound emulation in a second thread, and the
drive board in a third. It is enabled by default. On
single-core systems, multi-threading adds overhead and
slows Supermodel down but can make audio sound a bit
smoother.
----------------
Option: -ppc-frequency=<f>
Description: Sets the PowerPC frequency in MHz. The default is 50.
Higher frequencies will allow games to do more processing
per frame, making them run faster in 'virtual' time, but
may slow down Supermodel on weaker computers. Supermodel's
performance can frequently be improved by lowering the
PowerPC frequency (25 MHz works in many games). In some
games, this will cause timing problems and jerky
performance. The optimum frequency will vary from game to
game and system to system. Valid values for <f> are 1 to
1000.
----------------
Option: -fullscreen
Description: Runs in full screen mode. The default is to run in a
window.
----------------
Option: -no-throttle
Description: Disables 60 FPS throttling. The Model 3 runs at a 60 Hz
refresh rate, which Supermodel enforces if this option is
omitted. Unthrottled operation may not work on some
systems because graphics drivers may lock the refresh rate
on their own.
----------------
Option: -print-gl-info
Description: Prints OpenGL driver information and quits.
----------------
Option: -res=<x>,<y>
Description: Resolution of the display in pixels, with <x> being width
and <y> being height. The default is 496x384, the Model
3's native resolution.
----------------
Option: -show-fps
Description: Shows the frame rate in the window title bar.
----------------
Option: -frag-shader=<file>
-vert-shader=<file>
Description: Allows external fragment and vertex shaders to be used for
3D rendering. <file> is the file path. Files should be
ASCII text files containing GLSL source code. The file
extension is not important. By default, Supermodel's
internal shader programs are used. These options are
intended for future extensibility and for use by
developers.
----------------
Option: -flip-stereo
Description: Swaps the left and right audio channels.
----------------
Option: -no-dsb
Description: Disables Digital Sound Board (MPEG music) emulation. See
the section on audio settings for more information.
----------------
Option: -no-sound
Description: Disables sound board (sound effects) emulation. See the
section on audio settings for more information.
----------------
Option: -music-volume=<v>
-sound-volume=<v>
Description: Specifies the volume of MPEG music produced by the Digital
Sound Board and the audio produced by the sound board in
percent. The default is 100, which is full volume, and the
valid range of <v> is 0 (muted) to 200. See the section on
audio settings for more information.
----------------
Option: -config-inputs
Description: Launches the interacive input configuration utility in the
command prompt window. Allows controls to be remapped.
See the section on controls for more information.
----------------
Option: -force-feedback
Description: Enables force feedback. Force feedback is only supported
in a few games (see the section on force feedback for more
details). Available only on Windows.
----------------
Option: -input-system=<s>
Description: Sets the input system. This is only available on Windows,
where the default is 'dinput' (DirectInput). SDL is used
for all other platforms. Valid choices for <s> are:
dinput DirectInput.
xinput XInput
rawinput Raw Input.
sdl SDL.
See the section on input systems for more details.
----------------
Option: -print-inputs
Description: Prints the current input configuration.

=================================
15. Compiling the Source Code
=================================
First, ensure that OpenGL, SDL (http://www.libsdl.org), and zlib
(http://zlib.net) are installed. GLEW (http://glew.sourceforge.net) is
included in the source tree and does not need to be installed separately.
Next, extract the Supermodel source code and copy the appropriate Makefile
from the Makefiles/ directory to the base directory (that is, the one above
Src/ and Makefiles/). Makefiles for 32-bit Windows (Microsoft Visual C++
2008), Linux/UNIX (GCC), and Mac OS X (GCC) are provided, all requiring GNU
Make. For Windows developers, MinGW (http://www.mingw.org) provides GNU Make.
Alternatively, you can write a Makefile compatible with Microsoft Nmake and
submit it for inclusion in the next release. ;) Consult the Visual Studio
documentation to learn how to configure the Microsoft compiler for command line
operation.
Edit SDL_LIBPATH and SDL_INCLUDEPATH to reflect the location of the SDL
development library and header files. This should only be necessary for
Windows. The UNIX and Mac OS X Makefiles should be able to automatically
locate SDL if it was installed properly.
On Windows, Supermodel is compiled with the multi-threaded, static version of
the run-time library (/MT option). However, the SDL and zlib development
libraries, and the SDL run-time DLL, are distributed for use with the dynamic
run-time (/MD option). They must all be recompiled using /MT to work with
Supermodel. Alternatively, Supermodel's Makefile can be edited to use the /MD
option.
When everything is ready, rename the appropriate Makefile to 'Makefile' and run
'make'. If all goes well it should produce a Supermodel binary.
