Boot Media Tab



This tab is used to set the contents of the Emulator's peripherals when it boots.  Starting with version 3.4 of the emulator, there are two options here.  One is to start with the media that was present when the emulator was exited the last time.  This option is chosen by checking the "Star Emulator With Media Present When Emulator Last Exited" checkbox.  When this is checked, the other controls on this tab are not enabled.

The other option is chosen by leaving the box unchecked.  Then, you can specify up to eight floppy disks, one cartridge, one cassette, and one directly executable file (in Atari binary format), which will run when the emulator boots.  This feature lets you specify the favorite game cartridge, or programming disk, and have it always be present in the emulator at startup.  To choose a disk, cartridge, etc, simply press the button for the device, and browse to the file.  It's name will appear in the middle text field.  In addition, you may enable or disable that particular piece of media with the Enabled checkbox to the right of each field.
