I don't know about the dots in the corners but with the @ signs it *was*
working.  Instead of loading the master disk, load a game disk.  Read the
documents that go with it.  I used AppleWin and I thought it was the best of
the emulators.  You have to play with it a little to get it going then it
works fine.  More of an operator issue than the emulator, in my case.
