  18. <h2>Documentation</h2>
  19. <p>
  20. In the <code>Documentation</code> directory you can find the documentation for openMSX. Some sections you might want to read first:
  21. </p>
  22. <dl>
  23. <dt><a href="Documentation/manual/user.html#keymapping">Key Mapping</a></dt>
  24. <dd>Lists which keys you need to press for special MSX key and for emulator functions.</dd>
  25. <dt><a href="Documentation/manual/setup.html#systemroms">System ROMs</a></dt>
  26. <dd>Describes how openMSX deals with system ROMs. This binary distribution has C-BIOS inside of it. Should you decide to install additional system ROMs, I suggest you put them in <code>~/.openMSX/share/systemroms</code>. That way, if you upgrade openMSX later, they will automatically be found by the new version.</dd>
  27. <dt><a href="Documentation/release-history.txt">Release History</a></dt>
  28. <dd>Lists the changes made in each release of openMSX. Read this to learn about new features or changed behaviour.</dd>
  29. <dt><a href="Documentation/authors.txt">Authors</a> and <a href="Documentation/GPL.txt">License</a></dt>
  30. <dd>Tells you about the people who made openMSX and the conditions for distributing it.</dd>
  31. </dl>
  32. <h2>Running MSX Software</h2>
  33. <dl>
  34. <dt>ROM files (ROM images)</dt>
  35. <dd>Open the OSD (On-Screen Display) menu using Cmd+O, then choose "Load ROM...".</dd>
  36. <dt>DSK files (disk images)</dt>
  37. <dd>Open the OSD menu using Cmd+O, then choose "Insert Disk...". Make sure you select a machine that supports disks; C-BIOS does not yet have disk support. If you installed system ROMs (see above), you can change the MSX model that is emulated in the OSD menu under "Hardware... &gt; Change Machine...".</dd>
  38. <dt>CAS files (cassette images)</dt>
  39. <dd>Open the OSD menu using Cmd+O, then choose "Set Tape...". As for disks, you will need to select a machine that supports cassettes; C-BIOS does not yet support cassettes.</dd>
  40. </dl>
  41. <p>
  42. Double clicking a file in the Finder to open it in openMSX unfortunately doesn't always work; this might be fixed in future openMSX versions.
  43. </p>
  44. <p>
  45. To shorten the loading times of disks and cassettes, you can type <code>set fullspeedwhenloading on</code> on the openMSX console, which can be opened with Cmd+L.
