- -hd0 filename Specify a hard disk image file to use as hard drive 0.
- -hd1 filename Specify a hard disk image file to use as hard drive 1.
-
Disk image formats supported are .img and .raw - -boot # Specify which disk boot device to use. Examples:
- -boot fd0 Boot from floppy 0 (A:).
- -boot fd1 Boot from floppy 1 (B:).
- -boot hd0 Boot from hard drive 0 (C:).

- -boot rom Boot ROM BASIC if available.
-
Default boot device is fd0 or hd0 if exists. - -biosrom file Specify an alternate Machine BIOS ROM file image.

- -bootrom file Specify an alternate Boot ROM file image.
- -charrom file Specify an alternate ASCII Char ROM file image.
- -net # Enable ethernet emulation via winpcap. # is ID of your host network interface to bridge.
- -net # Enable ethernet emulation via libpcap. # is ID of your host network interface to bridge.
-
To get a list of possible interfaces, use -net list. - -nosound Disable audio emulation and output.
- -fullscreen Start Faux86 in fullscreen mode.
- -verbose Enable/Disable logging output. Log details will be written to stdout.
- -cpu # Set the CPU type and opcode emulation. Default is 2 for NEC V20 CPU.
-
0 = 8086/8088 CPU_TYPE_8086. -
1 = 80186 CPU_TYPE_186. -

-
Value between 1Mhz and 200Mhz. Default is 10 (10Mhz). - -timing # Set Frequency of CPU Timing calls. Lower value makes more timing calls.
-
Value should be either 15,31,63,127,255 depending on system. Default is 31. - -delay # Specify how many milliseconds to render each video frame.
-
Value between 1ms and 1000ms. Default is 20ms (50 FPS). - -slowsys If your machine is very slow and have audio dropouts. Affects audio quality.
-
If you still have dropouts, then also decrease sample rate and/or increase latency. - -multithreaded # Enable multithread processing.
