Cartridges (CRT)
The C64 has a cartridge port and .crt files emulate these cartridges.

Enter VICE's menu with [START], then Cartridge → Attach CRT image → Set current cartridge
as default. Back out to the main menu, Settings Management and finally Save current settings.
Tapes (TAP)
Loading from tapes is a long process and if you want the full experience, there are .tap images for
many games that are representations of the audio on the tape and therefore you enjoy the same load
times of several minutes for one game. As many later C64 games actually include extra music and
graphics during the load, these large (several 100 KB) files are important for digital preservation. If a
tape file is smaller than roughly 40KB most likely it is actually just a PRG file hiding inside a wrapper
that can be loaded instantly.

Disks (D64, D81)

Multi Disk Games (ZIP, M3U)
Many games use two sided disks or more than one disk. A two sided disk must be flipped manually on
a 1541, so you would eject the disk, flip it around and re-insert it. The standard naming convention for
such disks is Disk 1 - Side A and Disk 1 - Side B, followed of course by Disk 2 - Side A and so on.
