bee [IMAGE] [-system SYSTEMNAME] [-config CONFIGNAME] [-saveconfig=no]

IMAGE        Filename of a ROM image to be run. If no system is specified, the
             best system will be chosen automatically, if possible.
-system SYSTEMNAME
             The system with the identifier SYSTEMNAME is loaded at startup.
             Possible values for SYSTEMNAME include:
             a2600       Atari 2600/VCS
             coleco      Colecovision
             sg1000      Sega Game 1000
             sms         Sega Master System
-config CONFIGNAME
             The config file CONFIGNAME is loaded instead of the standard one.
             If CONFIGNAME does not exist, the default configuration is used
             and the file is created.
-saveconfig=no
             The config file will not be changed during this session.

Please note that in the Windows version, any output is written to text files (stdout.txt and stderr.txt) rather than to the console.

config.txt

config.txt is the standard config file of bee. It's in plain text format, and altering it should be pretty straightforward. Warning: bee was not designed to be particularly robust with respect to incorrect config files. You may experiment with changing the config file manually, but you do it at your own risk!
