1. Installation
- Download the latest version from the project's official website.
- Extract the archive into a dedicated folder.
- Launch it once: it will create its configuration and subfolders.
2. Good to know
- These machines often boot to a command prompt: the game is launched with a command, not from a menu.
- Emulation speed matters: if it's too fast, the software becomes unplayable. Look for the speed or cycles setting.
- The keyboard is the main input device; the emulated layout may differ from your own.
3. Not working?
- Game doesn't show up → check that its extension is among the formats listed above.
- Software runs too fast or too slow → adjust the emulation speed before anything else.
