Apple ][ Display Mode HGR choose a dithering you prefer by checking the preview and under preview palette select NEW or OLD AppleWin NTSC. Then click over save to prodos, give a name then 140kb and change the name SAVEDCH.BIN in something small but to remember like MARS.BIN click OK.

9) Open the MARS floppy with ciderpress and select MARS.BIN and copy and paste inside the prodos floppy, and repeat these steps for all the pictures.

10) Rename THE PRODOS disk inside Windows OS with a name of your choose and select it in AppleWin and boot the floppy.
