Boot rpcemu with Delete held down (simulating a power-on-Delete in RISC OS) and RISC OS should reset its CMOS. > 4) Any attempt to increase the screen resolution from 16 cols 640x480 is > met with greyed out menus, is there a way around this?

Until a modefile is loaded you won't be able to select modes other than numbered one (eg mode 32, 800x600x256 cols). Either install a full boot sequence, or put a modefile on the emulator and do *LoadModeFile <path to modefile> > 5) How is HOSTFS started, I seem to have tried all possibilities of > *configure filesystem hostfs Is the HostFS module getting loaded? It should be - check it shows up under *Modules. You'll need a directory called 'hostfs' at the same level as the rpcemu executable. Put your files in there. Normally HostFS is run from the emulated ADFS image (in !Boot.Choices somewhere), so you can't configure it as the default FS. But if you copy the module into a 'podulerom' directory then RPCEmu will build a fake podule ROM to load the module at startup, and you should be able to *Configure Filesystem it. (I haven't tried this). Hope that covers everything :) Theo _______________________________________________ Rpcemu mailing list [email protected] http://www.riscos.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rpcemu
