## How do I run DingusPPC?
DingusPPC is used through the command line. You will need to use a Old World ROM image (that is, from the Power Mac 6100 to the Power Mac G3 Beige) that is 4 MB in size. Once the ROM is dumped, you can do one of two things:
* Place the ROM in the same directory as the DingusPPC executable and rename it `bootrom.bin`
* Specify the path it is in through the `-b` or `--bootrom` command line arguments
You can also specify the amount of RAM available, what monitor to use, etc. through the command line.

Currently, it mostly supports Old World-era PowerPC Macs. If we can find the documentation for the requested computer's hardware and there's enough software out there for it, we can add support for it.
