I've been doing some work with Tom Walker (ARCulator and RPCEmu, and some recent ArcEm contributions) on RPCEmu - his RiscPC emulator. I've done a rudimentary port of the code to Linux as well as a load of code clean ups, and had a working version - although that's now been broken by more recent changes which seem to have revealed some bugs in the cross platform graphics library he's using, Allegro. But that's somewhat incidental.
I've also ported hostfs.c from ArcEm to with almost no changes, and Tom has tried it out with the HostFS module. Clearly there's a lot of cross over between the two projects, and I'd long hoped for an OSS RiscPC emulator, although adding RiscPC support to ArcEm seemed a bit unlikely, so I'm pretty keen about this. But right now I don't have a whole lot of time beyond what I've done initially, so I want to open the floor to you lot and see if anyone's keen to contribute to this as well. I'm hosting the sources under subversion on riscos.info - I don't have anon access right now, but will arrange that shortly along with write access for anyone who'd like to contribute. wrt to networking and the debate over that - I have a load of code I wrote for RISC OS QEMU that directly sits on socket layers and works with a number of applications already and should be trivial to convert. Of course, if anyone else wants to do an Ether1 et al emulation, I won't stop them, but this is a path I'll be persuing. Naturally, the ROM legality issues remain, but this is something I'm perusing, but would rather not comment on specifics of right now.
