[Blindapple] Introduction.

[Siobhan Murphy]

Hi all. I told everyone i'm using a Mac, and am a little unsure how to start this thing. I can't wait though, because I remember the old Oregon trail, the dragon maze, what i used to love, and wonder if someone has it, or if it's there were the old math games disc. everything from making change to rounding numbers. I think it had metric 21 and also bagels? I'm itching to figure out things because I want to play. :) I realize it will take time, i'm just teasing.

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.

>> 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.
