Insert disk image 1 in drive 0 and disk image 2 in drive 1. The application supports features such as accelerated CPUs and accelerated floppy drives.' Having this information, an application front-end can list the application, the user can click on it, and an Amiga emulator can set up the proper hardware configuration, load the correct ROM and operating system, and then load the application.
