You have a program file as a P00 file, for example, your program is in the file TEST.P00. You want to load and start it on your emulator.

SOLUTION

You have the following mutual exclusive possibilities:

• Using the autostart-mechanism:
  • Drag-n-Drop the file to the x64 emulator, or
  • Use File/Autostart and select your P00
• If you want to use more than one P00 from a directory on your HD, or if you don't like autostarting the file, do the following:
  • Disable True Drive Emulation
  • Select Settings/Device Settings
  • Select "Directory" and enter the name of the directory where your P00 is located, or press BROWSE to browse for that directory.
