Information about the ROM will be displayed in the box at the base of the Window, if you 'Corrupt' or 'Unsupported', then you have incorrectly obtained the ROM from your Macintosh.Д¬ompletely your preference. 64 Mb is fine for most 68k work.Д¬lick browse at the 'ROM file path' section to find your ROM file. Set the RAM size to something that won't cripple your PC, but won't leave the Mac short either. Set the CPU to 68040, and check the use of FPU Emulation.

Obviously, the first step is to download the files that are required and any optional extras you wish to use in your emulated or Macintosh system. Using the ROM without owning a Macintosh is illegal. Note that you may only download the ROM if you have an actual Macintosh. You can download a Mac Quadra 650 ROM here: Download.
