-
- Machine - this submenu lets you choose which computer

- lots of hardware scrolling (eg Repton) to run faster
- *********************************************************
- ********HOWEVER IT WILL ONLY WORK WITH SOME GAMES********
- *********************************************************
- This option cannot be saved and will be reset whenever a
- Script is run
-
- file_xxx - this option determines whether a different
- icon should be used for unfiletyped icons (ie those
- that have a load and run address instead)
- The icon is an owl with RED eyes
- (An owl with GREY eyes is used for files with a filetype of &BBC)
-
- Default restores all the above options to their default value
- It also restores the sound volume to maximum
-
- Save Options saves the above options (plus volume) for the next
- time the emulator is loaded

- Patch
- -----
-
- This submenu allows patches, in !6502Em.Patches, to be
- loaded to run certain games.
- Select "Patch", when ticked, to turn off the current Patch.
-
- ROMs
- ----
-
- This submenu shows which sockets have images in them, and
- which of them are write-protected (ticked).
- By selecting items, the write-protection can be changed.
-
- Misc
- ----
-
- This submenu offers the following options:
-
- Read CSD
-
- This sets the emulator's Currently Selected Directory (CSD)
- to RISC OS's CSD.
- Each copy of the emulator (if more than one is running)
- keeps its own CSD internally.
-
- Reset
-
- This option performs the equivalent to a power-on reset
- (within the emulator)
-
- Disable Tape (BBCB and Electron Only)
-
- This option will patch the emulated machine's operating system
- to send all Tape commands through Virtual DFS.
- It can only be deactivated by changing Machine or quitting the
- emulator, so should be used with caution
-
- Save
- ----
-
- This allows the current state of the emulator to be saved.
- This may not work satisfactorally in Master 128 or Master Compact
- mode as sideways ROMs etc are not saved.
-
- Sprite
- ------
-
- This option will not be offered unless you have enabled it
- in !6502Em's !Run file, which allocates more memory.
- It allows the emulator's screen to be saved as a Sprite.
