-atari Enable Atari 800 Emulation Mode [default]
-xl Enable Atari 800XL Emulation Mode
-xe Enable Atari 130XE Emulation Mode (but Antic accesses the bank that
the CPU is using)
-320xe Enable Atari 130XE with 320 kB memory Emulation Mode. Default is
CompyShop mode, compatible with Q-meg.
-rambo Use Rambo mode of 320 kB memory.
-5200 Enable Atari 5200 Games System Emulation Mode.
-artif enables Colour Artifacting
-nobasic Disables BASIC (just like when you hold down OPTION while booting)
-basic Enables BASIC (even if disabled in atari800.cfg by HoldOption)
-nopatch Normally the OS is patched giving very fast I/O. This option
prevents the patch from being applied so that the OS works
using the serial port hardware directly. This option will
probably never be needed since programs that access the
serial hardware directly will work even if the OS has been
patched.

` This character replaces the CAPS lock key because I have not
found a way of detecting it. A future solution maybe to
automatically issue a CAPS lock key when a transition is
made between lower and upper case keys. i.e. If svgalib
return 'a' followed by 'A' it could send 'a' 'CAPS' 'A' to
the Atari.
The CTRL+SHIFT keyboard combinations are implemented using the left
ALT key.
Joystick 0 is operated by the numeric keypad (make sure that the numeric
keypad has been enabled).
