194 Upon startup, lsnes (lsnes/SDL only) executes file lsnes.rc as
195 commands. This file is located in:
197 • Windows: %APPDATA%\lsnes\lsnes.rc (if %APPDATA% exists)
199 • Unix: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/lsnes/lsnes.rc (if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
202 • Unix: $HOME/.config/lsnes/lsnes.rc (if $HOME exists)
204 • All: ./lsnes.rc (fallback default).
206 If leading directories do not exist, attempt to create them is
211 • Commands beginning with '*' invoke the corresponding command
212 without alias expansion.
214 • If command starts with '+' (after possible '*'), the command is
215 executed as-is when button is pressed, and when button is
216 released, it is executed with '+' replaced by '-'.
218 • Commands without '+' execute only on negative edge (release).
222 Settings control various aspects of emulator behaviour.
224 6.1.1 set-setting <setting> <value>
226 Sets setting <setting> to value <value> (may be empty).

242 Keybindings bind commands or aliases to keys (or pseudo-keys).
246 • Do not bind edge active (+/-) commands to keys with modifiers,
247 that won't work right!
249 • Names of keys and modifiers are platform-dependent.
251 • Be careful before binding pseudo-keys (such as joystick axes,
252 buttons or hats) with modifiers. That may or may not work
255 6.2.1 bind-key [<mod>/<modmask>] <key> <command>
257 Bind <command> to key <key> (activating if modifiers in <modmask>
258 (comma-seperated list) are set as <mod> (comma-seperated list).
260 The names of keys and modifiers are platform-dependent.
262 6.2.2 unbind-key [<mod>/<modmask>] <key>
264 Unbind command from <key> (with specified <mod> and <modmask>).
266 6.2.3 set-axis <axis> [disabled | axis | axis-inverse |
267 pressure0- | pressure0+ | pressure-0 | pressure-+ | pressure+0

283 • pressure-0: Pressure sensitive. Released at -, pressed at 0.
285 • pressure-+: Pressure sensitive. Released at -, pressed at +.
287 • pressure+0: Pressure sensitive. Released at +, pressed at 0.
289 • pressure+-: Pressure sensitive. Released at +, pressed at -.
291 • minus=<val>: Calibration at extreme minus position
294 • zero=<val>: Calibration at neutral position (-32768-32767)
296 • plus=<val>: Calibration at extreme plus position (-32768-32767)
298 • tolerance=<value>: Center band tolerance (0<x<1). The smaller
299 the value, the more sensitive the control is.
303 Print all key bindings in effect.
307 Aliases bind command to sequence of commands. After alias has
308 been defined, it replaces the command it shadows.
312 • You can't alias command to itself.
314 • Aliases starting with +/- are edge active just like ordinary
315 commands starting with +/-.
317 • One command can be aliased to multiple commands.
319 6.3.1 alias-command <command> <expansion>
321 Append <expansion> to alias <command>. If alias does not already
322 exist, it is created.

2001 9 Memory watch expression syntax
2003 Memory watch expressions are in RPN (Reverse Polish Notation). At
2004 the end of expression, the top entry on stack is taken as the
2009 • Evaluation order is strictly left to right.
2011 • a is the entry on top of stack
2013 • b is the entry immediately below top of stack
2015 • ; separates values to be pushed (no intermediate pop).
2017 • After end of element, all used stack slots are popped and all
2020 • When pushing multiple values, the pushes occur in order shown.
2022 The following operators are available:
2036 • b : read_signed_byte(a)
2040 • d : read_signed_dword(a)
2042 • i : quotent(a / b)
2047 • q : read_signed_qword(a)
2057 • w : read_signed_word(a)
2061 • B : read_unsigned_byte(a)
2063 • C<number>z : Push number <number> to stack.
2065 • D : read_unsigned_dword(a)
2067 • C0x<number>z : Push number <number> (hexadecimal) to stack.
2069 • Q : read_unsigned_qword(a)
2071 • R<digit> : round a to <digit> digits.
2073 • W : read_unsigned_word(a)
2077 C0x007e0878zWC0x007e002czW-
2079 1. Push value 0x7e0878 on top of stack (C0x007e0878z).
2081 2. Pop the value on top of stack (0x7e0878), read word value at
2082 that address and push the result,call it x1 (W).
2084 3. Push value 0x7e002c on top of stack (C0x007e002cz).
2086 4. Pop the value on top of stack (0x7e002c), read word value at
2087 that address and push the result,call it x2 (W).
2089 5. Pop the two top numbers on stack, x1 and x2, substract x1 from
2090 x2 and push x2 - x1 (-).
2092 6. Since the expression ends, the final memory watch result is
2093 the top one on stack, which is x2 - x1.

2448 • Initial predicted ID is all zeroes.
2450 Format of each record is:
2452 • 1 byte: Opcode byte. Bits 0-4 are prefix length (prefixlen),
2453 bits 5-6 are count length (countlen). Bit 7 is unused.
2455 • 32-prefixlen bytes of ID.
2457 • countlen bytes of big-endian count (count).
2459 Records are processed as follows:

2499 12 lsvs file format (commentary tracks)
2503 • Each cluster is 8kB (8192 bytes) in size.
2505 • Cluster n starts at offset 8192*n in file.
2507 • The following clusters are system special:
2509 – Cluster 0 and all clusters with number multiple of 2048
2512 – Cluster 1 (superblock)
2516 • The cluster table describing cluster n is stored in cluster n &
2517 ~0x7FF (zero last 11 bits of n).
2519 • This cluster table consists of 2048 4-byte big-endian integers.
2521 • Each entry describes a cluster in 16MB supercluster, in order.
2523 • The valid values for entries are:
2525 – 0x00000000: Free cluster
2527 – 0x00000001: Last cluster in chain.
2529 – 0xFFFFFFFF: System cluster (cluster tables and superblock)
2531 – (anything else): Number of next cluster in chain. Must not be
2534 • Due to limitations of the format, there can be at most 2097052
2535 superclusters, giving maximum file size of 16TB.
2539 • The stream table chain always starts in cluster 2.
2541 • Otherwise, it follows normal chaining.
2543 • The stream table consists of 16-byte entries:
2545 – The first 8 bytes of entry give big-endian beginning position
2546 of stream in units of 1/48000 s.
2548 – The next 4 bytes of entry give big-endian beginning cluster
2549 for control data. 0 here marks the entry as not present.
2551 – The last 4 bytes of entry give big-endian beginning cluster
2554 • Stream table clusters are normal clusters, following normal
2557 • The stream begnning position is not guarenteed unique. There
2558 can be multiple streams with the same starting position in the
2561 12.4 Stream control data
2563 • The stream control data consists of entries 4 bytes each:
2565 – The first 2 bytes of entry gives big-endian length of packet
2567 – The next byte of entry gives audio length of packet in units
2570 – The last byte is control byte.
2572 ∗ 0 means this entry is not present and the control data
2575 ∗ 1 is valid control entry.
2577 • The stream control data can also end by running into end of the
2580 – This happens if there happens to be exact multiple of 2048
2581 packets in stream and number of packets is nonzero.

2690 15 Quick'n'dirty encode guide
2692 1. Start the emulator and load the ROM and movie file.
2694 2. Set large AVI option 'set-setting avi-large on'
2696 3. Enable dumping 'dump-avi tmpdump'
2698 4. Unpause and let it run until you want to end dumping.
2700 5. Close the emulator (closing the window is the easiest way). Or
2703 6. For each tmpdump*.avi file created, on command prompt, do
2704 'x264 --crf 10 -o tmpdump_<numbers>.mkv tmpdump_<numbers>.avi'.
2706 7. Do 'sox tmpdump.sox tmpdump.ogg rate -v 32000'
2708 8. Do 'mkvmerge -o tmpdump_video.mkv tmpdump_0000000.mkv +
2709 tmpdump_0000001.mkv + tmpdump_0000002.mkv' (list every
2710 tmpdump_<numbers>.mkv, with + in between).
2712 9. Do 'mkvmerge -o final.mkv tmpdump_video.mkv tmpdump.ogg'. Now
2713 final.mkv contains quick'n'dirty encode.
2715 16 Axis configurations for some gamepad types:
