  You extract the messapple-win.zip file. In the readme is the command string for how to start the emulator. I copied the string into Notepad and saved it as games.bat in the same folder with the extracted messapple-win. Now all I have to do is navigate to the folder where messapple-win is located and select games.bat. If I'm at the Dos command prompt instead of Windows Explorer, I type games.bat instead of selecting it. The emulator then loads. As stated earlier, this is my personal preference.

   

  Batch files were made for the Dos operating system, though  I'm not sure if they originated with Apple Dos or Microsoft Dos. Regardless they are a way to execute a series of commands quickly.

   

  What do you not understand in the readme?

  Thanks Blake smiley.

  I am really new at this 'tech stuff.

    Hi Trina,

    Welcome to BlindApple. To get started, I suggest the following steps.

    1. Open the zip file.

    2. Go into the File menu with alt-f and arrow to Extract all. Press enter.

    3. Select the extract button and press enter.

    4. After the files are extracted, go into the folder that was created by extraction and read the readme. Follow the steps there to start the emulator. I myself created a batch file so I don't have to copy and paste the command string for loading a disk into the emulator. That is my personal pereference.

    5. Post to this list with additional questions.

     

    I hope this helps.

    Blake

    Hi:

    My name is Trina and I'm 43 years old and I'm from Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada.  I sing and play guitar, but most of all, I love helping people and learning new information.

    I just received the advertisement from Jason through the RS Games and I'd love to play!!! It sounds like a lot of fun, but I don't have much experience with some of this stuff like unzipping files.  It's okay if you're laughing because I am lol.

    By the way, I'm totally blind and I use Jaws with Windows XP.

    I look forward to talking with all of you.

     

    Your new friend Trina.

    Live life to the fullest!!!!!
    Love and take care of each other, and keep smiling!!!
