I’d like to try to run “Intro Disk #02” in xemu!
...

extras: MEGA65.ROM, MEGA650.ROM (openrom), MEGA651.ROM (c65 rom) and CHARSET.M65
The ALL_INTROS collection will let you browse through the many demos, games, music and tools created by the MEGA65 community over the past year. If you’d like to try it via the MEGA65 emulator. I’d recommend the following approach:
Un-zip all the files within the “intro2ALL_INTROS - Public.zip” file and place all items within its “sdcard-files/” folder into your “hdos” “hdos” folder as per option 3 described earlier
Run xemu via the command-line and select the “INTRO2.D81” disk by default, e.g.:
xmega65.exe -hdosvirt -8 C:\Users\gurcei\AppData\Roaming\xemu-lgb\mega65\hdos\INTRO2.D81
This will assure that it will start up on hdos turned on (it will load the intro diskMain Menu intro via the default MEGA65.D81 image within this package), and after you try running a program on the menu, xemu should let you jump back to the menu with F10
(reboot).

USB joysticks do work fine in xemu.
