			* machine type (tandy, pcjr, cga, ega, vga, svga, etc...)
			* machinesize (how much RAM the computer has)
			* cputype (the type of CPU emulated, important for games that relied on specific logic)
			* cycles (how fast the emulated machine runs)
			* midi drivers (any extended sound fonts or ROMs for MT-32 and General Midi\SC-55)
			* sound options (any variations to the IRQ\port of the sound card
			* ipx (whether networking is enabled)
