/list			Create a "gamelist.txt" file, contains ROM list

/game <num>		Autoload ROM <num>, where <num> is the number preceding 
			ROM name in "gamelist.txt".

/file <filename>	Load external ROM file named <filename>.
				
/blit <num>		Select blitmode where <num> is:
			0 - MMX Horizontal Scanline 50%

*** VDP TABLES FAST LOADING ***

			Some slow machines uses a much time to generate VDP tables so i introduced 
			capability to generate and save it to disk.

			Normally KOLEKO try to load VDP tabs from disk looking for "koleko_vos.vtb", 
			if not found generates it in RAM at runtime.
			You can use these switches to change this behaviour:

/vtab_save		Generate and save VDP tabs to disk as "koleko_vos.vtb" for fast loading.

/vtab_noload		Force no-load of "koleko_vos.vtb"

		
		
		

*** EXAMPLES ***

example1:		Command "koleko_vos.exe /game 8 /res 512 384 /blit 2" 
			Runs KOLEKO using internal ROM n.8, trying to switch to 512x384 and 
			choosing "MMX Horizontal Scanline 25%" as blit mode.
		
example2:		Command "koleko_vos.exe /blit 5 /res 640 480 /file c:\roms\frogger.rom" 
			Runs KOLEKO loading "c:\roms\frogger.rom", 
			trying to switch to 640x480 and 
			choosing "BLT Fullscreen Stretch" as blit mode.

example3:		Command "koleko_vos.exe /blit 4 /res 800 600 /game 3 /vtab_save" 
			Runs KOLEKO using internal ROM n.3, trying to switch to 800x600, 
			choosing "BLT Doubled" as blit mode and trying to save VDP tables 
			as "koleko_vos.vtb" for fast loading. (next time you load emulator!)
			
example4:		Command "koleko_vos.exe /blit 1 /game 1 /vtab_noload" 
			Runs KOLEKO using internal ROM n.1, using default resolution, 
			choosing "MMX Horizontal Scanline 100%" as blit mode and 
			forcing emulator to generate VDP tables at runtime 
			(no "koleko_vos.vtb" load.)
