			MAME can be started and the emulated computer configured from the command line.
			mame64 [machine] [media] [software] [options]

			'''Machine''' is the name of the computer to be emulated. Some CoCo related options are:
			coco, coco2, coco2b, coco3, dragon, dragon64, cp400, cp400c2, lzcolor64, mx1600 and cd6809

			The remaining parameters are used to determine the configuration of the emulated computer.
			Some examples are:
			mame64.exe coco -ramsize 16K -window -confirm_quit
			will emulate a CoCo 1, with 16 KB of RAM, start the emulation in a window (instead of full screen), and prompt for confirmation before quitting.
			mame64.exe coco2 -ramsize 32K -ext games_master -nowindow -confirm_quit -skip_gameinfo
			will emulate a CoCo 2, with 32 KB of RAM and a [[Game Master Cart]], start the emulation full screen, prompt for confirmation before quitting and skip the initial screen showing the computer's configuration.
			mame64.exe coco3 -ramsize 512K -ext multi -ext:multi:slot3 ssc -flop1 "Documents\DSKS\SAMPLE.DSK" -window -nomaximize
			will emulate a CoCo 3, with 512 KB of RAM, a MPI with the [[Speech/Sound_Cartridge_(26-3144A) \| Speech/Sound Cartridge]] in slot 3, and the disk image "SAMPLE.DSK" from the specified path, mounted in drive 0. It will start the emulation in a non-maximized window.

			It should be noticed that if a disk ROM is available, and nothing is loaded in the cartridge slot (or in slot 4 of the MPI), a floppy drive controller will be automatically loaded.

MAME (originally an acronym of Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) is a free and open-source emulator designed to recreate the hardware of arcade game systems in software on modern personal computers and other platforms.

As such, it can be used to emulate most - if not all - CoCo variants, including clones like the [[Prologica CP-400]]
