RPCEmu - Open Source RiscPC Emulator

RPCEmu is currently maintained and distributed via the RPCEmu Spoon Edition website. Please check there for documentation, binary downloads and developer information.

Documentation

• Manual - All Platforms
• Windows Platform Compile Information
• Running RISC OS 5.15

The following are largely deprecated, please be careful when mixing old documentation with newer releases

• RPCEmu Linux Guide - Guide for installing the emulator on Linux and other documentation
• RPCEmu Mac Guide - Guide for patching and installing the emulator on Mac OS X Leopard.
• RPCEmu Windows Tips - Notes on the Windows version
• 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
• Emulate the Portable_ReadBMUVariable SWI to read the host's battery state and a write RISC OS program to display it (Virtual Acorn also uses this interface, so the program would work on both emulated platforms)

There are currently two strands of networking: one for Linux and another for Windows.
