Will there be any emulators going up on this site? I am looking for a half decent BBC emulator that will run on my ageing A5000 without too much trouble, and maybe for other emulators too. And while I'm here, does anyone remember Castle Quest on the BBC? I would love to have that up and running again...  |

Hi... There don't seem to be any emulators on this site (if they are going to put some on they should ask me, so that they get the latest versions). As far as BBC emulators go... there is the commercial 6502em from WSS (http://www.wss.com - IIRC) and there is the freeware BeebIt by Michael Foot(http://www.voyager.co.nz/~mikef/). I'm not sure how fast BeebIt runs on an A5000, but 6502Em should run at full speed. ...David |

"Warm Silence Software" - they do probably the best BBC emulator around (£15) - it will run almost anything (including Elite) and emulates most hardware tricks as, unlike !65Host, it was designed for games. They also sell a support pack that has extra stuff for transferring games off tapes, IIRC. They also sell a decent Spectrum emulator too. |

We have no immediate plans for an emulator section on this site. Largely because we have no one to run it. |

Beebit will definately not run well on an A5000!
Have a look at the review of it on my rather naff site - www.thedeathzone.free-online.co.uk
The only one availab;e for your machine is !6502em and even this may struggle to achieve full speed.

Well forget the A5000 thing, I have a RiscPC700 now and recently I lost all the emulators/bits and pieces of thereof. I'm on an ARM710 IIRC and that should run most things... I hope... Also, I know absolutely sod all about my PC card, except that it's a 586. Is there any chance that games will run well on it? I've been trying to get Frontier: Elite 2 to work but having problems (driver crashed). ~ Jason |

I've managed to get FE2 running on the PC card without too much difficulty (486 100MHz card). It runs OKish. Frontier: First Encounters is a bit easier to run but is only just about playable on my card. Which driver crashed, BTW? A PC side one, or the PC card driver application? |

It was the driver software on the Arc side that crashed it's done it twice since I tried FFE. FE2 runs fine - if I start up the PC side in Safe Mode, which screws up the monitor display so I get a wide, thin playing area. Annoying, but useable. It gives me all sorts of weird and wonderful "base memory unavailable" errors if I try it in normal mode, and I'm not confident enough to try playing with drivers and exe/bat files. On an Arc I have no problem experimenting and learning, but on a PC, well, who knows... I am using Aleph One's PC PRO 3 v3.00 (23 Sept 199 as my software driver. ~ Jason --- "What's a FileCore In Use error? ... oh... damn..." |
