Can't say at what point because it all happened so quickly but it aborted with the message "RPCemu error: Bad opcode 36 73692029 at 219304C" However running again with Delete held down started it. It also restarts but each time with a "branch through zero at &03813AEC" error and doesn't respond to any mouse clicks. > - Accessing CD-ROM - Open up the menu 'ctrl-end', select > Settings->CD-ROM->Host CD/DVD Drive this should allow direct access > to /dev/cdrom - You can also choose a .iso cdrom image to use > instead off the CD-ROM menu. > - Sound - Open up the menu 'ctrl-end', select Settings->Settings and > click the Sound box on the window.

Also 'Ctrl-End' has no effect. Nor has F12. So, I replaced the hd4.hdf with a new copy which, thankfully, got me back to the point before I unzipped the !Boot. Then a succession of various errors as I kept replacing the hd4.hdf, ending up with an uncancelable one with the pointer stuck in the box. > Let me know when you get stuck ;-) Now! :-) -- David - david atcost ukpoets fullstop net _______________________________________________ Rpcemu mailing list [email protected] http://www.riscos.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rpcemu
