For directly supported programs are the following actions possible: ArtEffect: can only be started fxPAINT: can be started and stopped. Images can be loaded AmigaAMP: is completely supported FroggerNG: is completely supported excluding the track control Mplayer: can be switched to normal mode or to DVD player.
