QUICK HELP
When the Octalyzer is first run, it will create an Octalyzer folder in your home directory.
To access disk images (.DSK, .PO, .DO, .NIB) from your local file system in the enhanced CATALOG, place them in this folder.
You can also drop disk images on to the window in order to mount them. If you are at the startup splash screen, the disk will boot automatically. Otherwise you can press Shift-Control-Backspace to reboot.
You can use the mouse to control the paddles / joystick, or use a USB gamepad. If a game doesn’t seem to be responding to keyboard control, press the Caps Lock key and try again.
