Controls
Boots the Sharp X68000 with the real IPL ROM + CGROM font and a Human68k v3.02 master floppy, reaching the "A>" command prompt (boot takes a few seconds; it fast-forwards through the driver banners). Click the screen, then type at the prompt (try DIR, then VER). Add ?debug, or click Debug, to inspect the live 68000 registers (D0-D7, A0-A7, PC, SR), read the 16 MB bus, single-step one instruction, frame-step, and pause/resume. Step is a true one-instruction step (px68k uses an interpreting C68K core).
