Mac startupkeys
- Press the Joystick Fire button to start the game and then avoid as many obstacles as you can by pressing Fire to flap the little birds wings. Remember, in order to play Flappo Bird, you'll need a 2600 emulator.
- If your Mac is using an earlier version of any Mac operating system, you should install the latest Apple software updates, which can include important security updates and updates for the apps that are installed by macOS, such as Safari, Books, Messages, Mail, Music, Calendar, and Photos.

When a Macintosh is powered-up or Restarted ('booted'),various pieces of Mac ROM and System software examine the keyboard,and take special actions if certain keys are held down. This pagesummarizes the actions.
The upshot being that if you happen to have 400KB Mac floppy disks formatted with MFS, then you need a system running Mac OS 7.6.1 or older to read them. And while MFS formatted disks may be rare, any and all Mac disks from 1984 to 1986 would be MFS formatted because it was the only option availabe.
Booting involves several phases; startup keys take effect atdifferent times depending upon the phase. Sometimes the same keyhas a different effect depending upon which phase it is sensed.Generally, you should hold the indicated keys down until the desiredaction takes place.
Boot ROM
Command-Option-P-R | Zap PRAM (double boot) |
R | Force PowerBook to reset the screen |
Command-Option-A-V | Reset AppleVision Display (1.5.2 or later) |
Command-Option-T-V | Force Quadra AV (only) to use TV as a monitor |
Command-Option-X-O | Force Mac Classic (only) to Boot from ROM |
Mouse button | Eject Floppy, then boot from SCSI |
Command-Option-Shift-Delete | Bypass the device that is selected in the Startup Disk control panel; boot from the first bootable device other than that. |
Command-Option-Shift-Delete-# | Boot from a specific SCSI ID, where # is 0 through 6 |
C | Boot from internal CD-ROM (Most late model Macs) |
N | Boot from network (iMac and later models) |
D | Boot from the internal hard disk if the default boot device has been set to something else |
Z | Boot from an internal Zip drive |
O-F | Access Open Firmware (on G3 and later models) |
T | Boot into FireWire Target Disk mode (on certain FireWire-equipped Macs) |
Upon appearance of the happy face, let go of any boot keysyou may have needed, then immediately press any keys you needto control ...
Mac OS System startup
Control | Invoke MacsBug upon startup. |
Option | In Mac OS 9.x, on a startup disk having multiple system folders, invoke dialog to choose System Folder. |
Command | Boot with Virtual Memory off |
Shift | Disable all Extensions and Control Panels. Release Shift when the message 'Extensions disabled' appears in the welcome box. |
Space | Open extension manager before loading Extensions or Control Panels. Release the Space bar when the Extensions Manager displays its screen. |
Holding the Shift key early in the boot sequence disables allExtensions and Control Panels. Individual Extensions and ControlPanels may disable themselves upon seeing the Shift key laterin the boot sequence, but the timing for this is difficult toachieve! Upon loading, an Extension or Control Panel is supposedto display its icon in the 'icon parade.' If the iconis displayed at boot time, but the Extension or Control Paneldisables itself because the Shift key is held or some error conditionis detected, it is conventional for a red X to be drawn over itsicon.
Immediately upon the appearance of the (blank) menu bar, pressany keys you need to control ...
