Emulator integration question This question concerns configuration of an emulator against a host platform, or other matters that are non-existent on the original emulated platform, and has no relevance to a pure retrocomputing context.

Questions about emulators are within scope of the site only to the extent they cover problems also present on the original platform, or analogous ones. Questions about installing an emulator on a modern platform are considered to concern modern computing and are therefore off-topic.

Edit the question to focus on aspects that also exist on the original platform. Otherwise you may leave a comment asking to migrate the question to Super User.
