1. Installation
- Get the latest version from the project's official website.
- Extract the archive into a dedicated folder.
- Launch it once: it creates its configuration and subfolders.
2. Accepted formats
.d64 .t64 .prg .tap .crt
3. Good to know
- These machines often boot to a command prompt: the game is launched via a command, not a menu.
- Emulation speed matters: too fast, and the software becomes unplayable. Look for the speed or cycles setting.
- The keyboard is the main input device; the emulated layout may differ from yours.
- A setting that works for one machine won't necessarily work for others: adjust case by case.
4. Not working?
- The game doesn't show up → check that its extension is one of the formats listed above.
- The software runs too fast or too slow → adjust the emulation speed before anything else.
