Emulators / Complete Newbie - how to load files on an emulator
« on: 2012.February.15. 18:33:48 »
Hi Guys,
I can load disk IMG files OK (using ep128emu) using OPTION->DISK->CONFIGURE (a list of IMG files is displayed that are stored in the "disks" directory. I can select one of these, hit RETURN and the gamedisk loads OK.
The problem is that I cannot see how to load some of the files in the DOWNLOADS directory on this site.
For instance, the ZIP file that contains say, "SHOOTEMUPS" contains all sorts of files *.PRG, *.SCR and some files with no extensions e.g. R-TYPE.
They do not appear to be disk images and they do not appear as tape files when I extract them to the tape directory. There are also some ROM files and these do not work when placed in the ROM directory.
I'm sure it's easy but I'm a complete noob. Do I boot to basic and type something in?
All help gratefully received.
