New Disk Image creates a new disk image of the specified size and type. You will be prompted for a folder and filename to save the new image to.

Open Disk Image lets you select the storage device, then you will select the disk image file to mount to that device.

Open System can be exercised when you're at the System Select screen ("Choose your retro experience"). This lets you load a system configuration you have previously defined and saved.

Save System / Save As System let you save the current system configuration. This does not include any machine state except what disk images are mounted.
