SYNOPSIS

             [-p patchfile] [-s n] [-t statefile] file

DESCRIPTION
     mgba-qt is a Game Boy Advance emulator.  The options are as follows:

     -1      Scale the window 1x.

     -2      Scale the window 2x.

     -3      Scale the window 3x.

     -5      Scale the window 5x.

     -6      Scale the window 6x.

     -b biosfile, --bios biosfile
             Specify a BIOS file to use during boot.  If this flag is omitted,
             mgba-qt will use the BIOS specified in the configuration file, or
             a high-level emulated BIOS if none is specified.

     -C option=value, --config option=value
             Override the given config option with value.

     -f      Start the emulator full-screen.

     -g      Start a gdb(1) session.  By default the session starts on port
             2345.

     -l loglevel
             Log messages during emulation.  loglevel is a bitmask defining
             which types of messages to log:
             o   1 - fatal errors
             o   2 - errors
             o   4 - warnings
             o   8 - informative messages
             o   16 - debugging messages
             o   32 - stub messages for unimplemented features
             o   64 - in-game errors
             The default is to log warnings, errors, fatal errors, and status
             messages.

     -p patchfile, --patch patchfile
             Specify a patch file in BPS, IPS, or UPS format.

     -s n, --frameskip n
             Skip every n frames.

     -t statefile, --savestate statefile
             Load initial game state from statefile.

ENVIRONMENT
     XDG_CONFIG_HOME
             The location where mgba-qt will look for the configuration
             directory.  If not set, ~/.config is used.

FILES
     $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mgba/config.ini
             Default mgba(6) configuration file.
     $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mgba/qt.ini
             Default mgba-qt configuration file.
     portable.ini
             If this file exists in the current directory, mgba-qt will read
             config.ini and qt.ini from the current directory instead of
             $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mgba.
