Running

Avocado requires the BIOS from real console in the data/bios directory. (use File->Open Avocado directory to locate the directory on your system) Selection of a BIOS rom will be required on the first run. The rom can be changed under Options->BIOS or by modifying the config.json file.

To load a .cue/.bin/.img/.chd/.ecm or .exe/.psexe/.psf/.minipsf file just drag and drop it.

PAL games with LibCrypt protection need additional subchannel info - download proper file .SBI or .LSD file from Redump, place it in the same folder as game image and make sure has identical name as .cue/.bin/... file.
