Darn! I don't have an A1 ... I suppose I'll just have to make do with the real BBC B and a copy of Acornsoft's Elite on 5 1/4" disk instead  :lol:

If anybody asks ... It wasn't me trading in illicit Tharglets, alright?  :-)


Well done for the achievement, BeebEm is a very nice emulator  :-D

Ah! Good old Beeb, I have several!

And I still have my original copy of "The Emulator" for the Amiga 500 that I purchased at great expense back in the day at GBP50!

I have that on floppy somewhere.  Does it still work on updated classic Amigas or did it break after a Kickstart/chipset upgrade?

It breaks on anything above a standard 68000 but works mostly fine if MOVE SR is trapped and some 1.3-like values are returned for some functions. TUDE (http://aminet.net/package/util/misc/TUDE) gets it going, though still with the odd visit to a certain meditative guru...
