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.

Re: arcem/!ArcEm !Help,1.4,1.5
Hi, From arcem-cvs list: -ArcEm is known to be compatible with both RISC OS (3.1 and below) and ARM Linux ROM images. A suitable ARM Linux ROM image can be downloaded from the ArcEm website at http://arcem.sf.net/ +ArcEm is known to be compatible with both RISC OS (3.1 and below) and ARM +Linux ROM images. A suitable ARM Linux ROM image can be downloaded from the +ArcEm website: This reminded me of an off-list conversation today about whether 3.1 is the same as 3.10. Acorn (and OS_Byte 0) called it 3.10 so I think we should standardise on that too. (Also, ArcEm surely runs fine with 3.11 so this actual bit of text should reflect that.)

It should probably become Features of version 1.50 anyway. Features of 1.50, IIRC: * VIDC1 sound support on Amiga, RISC OS Unix/X11 * Emulation of 512K, 1MB, 2MB, 4MB, 8MB, 12MB, 16MB of RAM * Emulation of extension ROMs * ARM3 emulation * ArcEm clock set from Hosts's clock, partial RTC support * Accurate video and timer emulation * Display upscaling (I think it might only be RISC OS that uses this at the moment) * Rectangular pixel aspect ratio correction (RISC OS, Windows X11) * Significant performance improvements on low power machines * Enhancements when emulating RISC OS: - HostFS (supported on all platforms) - Mouse scroll wheel support? (I'm not actually sure if this still works, or what platforms it works on!) - The extra video modes 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?

In lieu of a safe place to get free ROMs, you could add a link to ROL's shop, where they're selling a CD containing Arc ROM images: http://www.e-junkie.com/43789 I wonder what R-Comp are doing for their ROMs in !AcornMode.

Suggested new aims: * Easier to port to more platforms (an SDL port would probably fulfill that goal) * Easier for the end user to use (The RISC OS Windows frontends are certainly in need of some love) * Support more hardware - IOEB emulation (1.6MB floppies, joysticks, more VIDC clock speeds, etc.) - Parallel serial emulation * Tidier, making the code easier to bug fix and maintain * Faster (no need to mention JIT, unless someone's confident they can make it work!) * Additional features - Networking - Ability to save restore emulator state (perfect for those games that don't let you save) 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. * ExtnROM, HostFS - works on all * Gfx 800x600 - I believe Windows OS X are the only two that don't support this. * Sound - see above features list * Mousewheel - I guess we'd better check that it still works!
