Great stuff.
I have the fs-uae installed and just drop the adf files on to my desktop icon and they fire straight up.
Great emulation of one of the best home computers ever created.

Cool guide. I couldn't figure out how to use the one from PPM (Arcade or Launcher), but your instructions worked.

Launcher is not needed but is handy to configure your games with the correct ROMS etc..I create the config files for each individual game using the launcher and then i put the config folder on desktop and fire them up that way.
