+# DingusPPC User Manual
+
+## Commands
+
+DingusPPC is operated using the command line interface. As such, we will list the commands as required.
+
+```
+-r, --realtime
+```
+
+Run the emulator in runtime.
+
+```
+-d, --debugger
+```
+
+Enter the interactive debugger. The user may also enter the debugger at any point by pressing Control and C.
+
+```
+list machines
+```
+
+Shows the currently implemented machines within DingusPPC.
+
+```
+list properties
+```
+
+Shows the configurable properties, such as the selected disc image and the ram bank sizes.
+
+## Supported machines
+
+The machines that currently work the best are the Power Mac 6100, the Power Mac 7500, and the Power Mac G3.
+
+Early implementations for the Power Mac G3 Blue and White and the Apple Pippin are also present.
+
+## Quirks
+
+### CD ROM Images
+
+Currently, ISO images are supported. However, support is not yet implemented for multi-mode CD images.
+
+### Hard Disks
+
+Because Sheepshaver, Basilisk II, and Mini vMac operate on raw disks, it is required to a program such as BlueSCSI to make their hard disk images work in an emulator like DingusPPC.
