This is a fantasy computer that Kawa pulled out of his ass, inspired by an utter shitpost. That's really all there is to it; it's a joke gone way out of hand.
To actually use this, ROM files are included and more up-to-date copies can be gotten from the other repo.
On first run, you must provide an A3X BIOS ROM (apb
). One should be provided in the roms
folder. Then you may load up any of the provided ap3
ROM files.
The emulator passes all presses of the left Control key to the A3X, while the right Control key controls the emulator itself.
Key | Effect |
---|---|
Ctrl Q | Turn the emulated machine on or off |
Ctrl L | Load ROM |
Ctrl Shift L | Load disk image |
Ctrl U | Unload ROM |
Ctrl Shift U | Unload disk image |
Ctrl R | Reset the emulation |
Ctrl Alt R | Reload last ROM, then reset emulation |
Ctrl D | Dump memory to wram.bin and vram.bin |
Ctrl S | Take a screenshot |
Ctrl A | Toggle aspect correction |
Ctrk K | Toggle keyboard gamepad control |
Ctrl P | Pause |
Ctrl F10 | Toggle fullscreen mode |
Disk image hotkeys refer to the first attached disk drive (A:
). You'll need the Devices window to change images for any other drives.
Clicking the middle mouse button toggles mouse controls, for those applications or games that can use one.
The keyboard gamepad control feature reassigns the arrow keys and certain letters to the first gamepad, in case you don't have one.
Key | Button |
---|---|
Arrows | Directional pad |
Z | A |
X | B |
A | X |
S | Y |
C | Start |
V | Select |
D/F | Shoulder buttons |
The canonical (if nonexistant) A3X controller has the same ABXY layout as the Xbox, and any XInput gamepad should work (though the main author only has an old Logitech F310 to test with). Just in case, there's some ability to remap the buttons.
The following command line arguments can be passed, besides the path to an .ap3
ROM file:
Argument | Effect |
---|---|
--fpscap |
Disables the FPS cap |
--noreload |
Disables automatic reload of the last used .ap3 file |
--noremount |
Disables automatic reload of the last used disk images |
--nodiscord |
Disables Discord rich presence features |
--fullscreen |
Start in full screen |
--poweron |
Start powered on (implied if a starting .ap3 is given |
--associate |
For internal use, associates .ap3 and .a3z files |
By default, settings are stored in %LocalAppData%\Clunibus.ini
. If such a file is present in the same folder as Clunibus.exe
, that will be used instead.
