Default directories : ./IMG : images of the bottom buttons of the window in bmp format - 24 bits
./ROM : free roms (c) Amstrad + Parados (to load different roms, see help - command line)
./WAVE : sounds floppy disk (insert / eject floppy and change of tracks) - if you change them, pay attention to their shortest possible duration as currently, these sounds are not mixed with the sound of emulation AY but they are cuting and replacing the sound of AY a short time.
File association on WINDOWS System : Associate the emulator CPCePower by default with files based on their extension .dsk, .raw, .ipf + snapshots .sna. :
for this you must create a CPCEPower.bat file and put the following contents:
C:\xxx\CPCEPower_SDL.exe -c6128 -0% 1

or you can add 'start' before like that start C:\xxx\CPCEPower_SDL.exe -c6128 -0% 1 to hide command console !

xxx is the path where you put the executable. the following options are provided as examples. They are used to enable emulation in cpc mode 6128 and load the file set by Windows (% 1). (see help - command line for others commands)

Then make the file association with the file CPCEPower.bat created. When you double-click on all the files with the desired extension, the emulator will launch with this file.
