Last updated: 2021/04/19 Please check the website at https://psychoslinux.gitlab.io for any edits/updates to this file and files within the LOOKHERE directory and sub directories. As more file format support is discovered, more will be added to this list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ When running PsychDOS "out-of-the-box," the following is a list of known, supported file formats and what programs are either used by default via the Workbench's PREVIEW and EDIT buttons or can be be used, converted, or compiled via other included software. Some programs, such as the included emulators, require ROMs that PsychDOS does not include due to legal reasons in which would increase the items on this list. The MESS emulator is a good example of this. For more information on file formats, I highly recommend that you visit: https://loc.gov/preservation/digital/formats/fdd/browse_list.shtml
