RPCEmu - Open Source RiscPC Emulator
riscos.info maintains the source repository for RPCEmu, developed by Tom Walker. Peter Naulls did the port to Linux. Chris Williams did the Mac OS X PPC port. RPCEmu is an dynamic recompiling (JIT) emulator of Acorn RiscPC-class hardware. It includes working emulation of ARM6, ARM7 and StrongARM cores, IDE and Floppy emulation, VIDC20 and IOMD chipset emulation, and other features.
Present limitations:
- No access to host floppy drives
- Network access needs polishing (see below)
- Unable to run non-RISC OS operating systems correctly (eg Linux)
Documentation
- RPCEmu Linux Guide - Guide for installing the emulator on Linux and other documentation
- Dynamic recompiler technical documentation
Developer help wanted
In case you are a developer and want to spend some time on RPCEmu project, this is a non-exhaustive list of ideas to get you inspired:
- It would be a good thing to have Windows, Linux and Mac OS X ports unified.
- Address its emulation limitations (like host drive and network access)
- Test the dynamic recompiler
There are currently two strands of networking: one for Linux and another for Windows.
