Post subject:  Emulation for idiots

Hi,

Can someone point me to a site describing how to install a fully working emulator for RISC OS 3 with absolute idiot-proof instructions. I am trying to get a few VERY old games going, emulated in Vista or even Windows 7. I have tried a few times with Red Squirrel but there was always something missing (mostly operator knowledge...)

Cheers

Have a look at ArcEM http://arcem.sourceforge.net/

I think it comes with RISC OS where Red Squirrel doesn't by the looks of it.

Though if you have some money to spend take a look at http://www.virtualacorn.co.uk

Sorry I can't be more help as I purchased VirtualA5000 as it was simpler and quite cheap.

Thanks for the advice, I think VirtualAcorn will be the way to go.

The other method seems to require the installation of other software, and the online manual "known issues" pages seem to say "this is useless on windows" :?

VirtualAcorn's software comes with Elite which is why I bought it :D
