Download the ZIP version and unpack the contained .mbtiles file.

Create a custom xml map source file in the mapsources subdirectory, e.g. named OAM-World-1-8.xml with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<localTileSQLite>
    <name>OAM-World-1-8-J80.mbtiles</name>
    <atlasType>MBTiles</atlasType>
    <sourceFile>C:\Path\to\the\downloaded\OAM-World-1-8-J80.mbtiles</sourceFile>
    <tileImageType>PNG</tileImageType>
</localTileSQLite>

You need to adapt the <sourceFile> entry and let it point to the downloaded and unzipped mbtiles file.
