People may already be aware but the Archimedes Software Preservation Project is aiming to provide access to a complete archive of old software for the Archimedes. I just read that they've now got permission to distribute all the old Krisalis titles: http://www.iconbar.com/forums/viewthread.php?threadid=11919page=3#121344 Pretty good news for ArcEm users. Once they have a web site up, I'll add a link from the ArcEm site. There's quite a few on the list that my pocket money didn't stretch to back in the day, so I'm looking forward to playing some of them. :) -- Michael Drake http://www.smoothartist.com/ -- WINDOWS 8 is here.

Thanks, that worked. I've been having a look at the existing pages and there are four: index.html developer.html manual.html screenshots.html I think getting the existing content up-to-date should be the first task. On index.html -- http://arcem.sourceforge.net/ I think it's just the Features section which is out of date. It has Features of version 1.00, and Additional features of the CVS version. I'm not sure if the CVS section has been kept updated or if it's missing things. It should probably become Features of version 1.50 anyway. In the support files section, perhaps a RISC OS 3.11 download can be included now, if it can be built from the ROOL source? I'll probably add Other resources with links to: ADFFS-- http://adffs.filecore.net/ Wocki's Acorn Emulation Site -- http://acorn.revivalteam.de/ Anything else? On developer.html -- http://arcem.sourceforge.net/developer.html The Developer Aims and Future plans look as though they need revisiting. e.g. I doubt there is any plan to add Risc PC support, since there's RPCEmu for that. And is the investigate the use of a JIT or rolling support into the QEMU project still on the cards? The Feature Matrix looks out-of-date. I know the RISC OS version has HostFS and Sound Support, at least. Not sure about the rest of the table. On screenshots.html -- http://arcem.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html Looks vaugly fine. If front end maintainers want to update their screenshot, they're welcome to send it to me and I'll update the site. On manual.html -- http://arcem.sourceforge.net/manual.html Clearly there's the bits marked TODO. Also, the CVS marks can probably be removed, with version 1.50. This page has a change log up to version 1.00, which will need updated for 1.50. Probably other stuff, but I'll look at it more closely once the other pages are updated. If the developers who know the state of things could look over the pages, especially the bits I've mentioned, and let me know, I'll get on with updating it.

I've been using ArcEm quite a bit lately with ADFFS, which works really well. It lets you load ADF, APD and JFD format floppy disc images and can change disc via keypress, so there isn't much call for front ends to support changing discs or different floppy image formats any more.
