Ported Apps ?

Is there a list of RISCOS apps ported to PC anywhere online ?
I found a version of !Draw lat week and wondered if there are others.

Ah, OakDraw.

I have The source to that. Never managed to get it to build under OpenWatcom because it relies heavily on Microsoft’s GDI library…

As for others… ArtWorks became Xara, didn’t it? And Sibelius jumped ship. OvationPro is available for both.

Probably some games for ported in both directions, but as Tony of AMCog knows, I famously suck at games… ;-) But the text adventure system (Inform) is all PC and stuff now, it left RISC OS behind long ago – http://inform7.com/

I don’t know if there’s a list, but to start one and to add to Rick’s suggestions.

Games ported to PC

Spheres of Chaos – http://www.spheresofchaos.com/
Starfighter 3000
Ankh

Game Demo on RISC OS finished for PC

Iron Dignity (released as ‘Stealth Combat’ on the PC)

Education software

I believe lots were ported as after 1995 going RISC OS only was not that sensible.

The ‘ArcVenture’ series
Lots of the 10/10 titles
‘The Crystal Rainforest’ – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crystal_Rainforest
‘The Crystal Maze’

WebChange – a very, very old version, never developed further so massively lacking in features compared to the RISC OS version.

Technically, we can include Repton, Repton 2 and Repton 3 here. All three have appeared on RISC OS at least twice, and have been released for Windows.

…and started life on the Beeb. ;-)

There’s also been a port of Chuckie Egg from the BBC to RISC OS, then for Windows. Numerous remakes, Flash, DHTML, etc…

I came across one that was actually the 6502 code bolted on to a tiny Beeb emulation, based upon similar for RISC OS: http://marklomas.net/ch-egg/articles/porting-ch-egg.htm

Inferno is available on iOS and Mac OS X. They also list XBox 360, but I believe Microsoft have closed the XBLIG store.
Aqualibrium for the XBox 360 and PlayStation Vita looks like Cataclysm. Doesn’t appear to be available any more.
Moonquake has apparently been ported to PC, but the link is dead.
There’s an SDL version of Asylum, though it looks like you may have to compile it yourself.
I believe TEK was also released for PC.

Quest for Gold, possibly.

(I was thinking of doing an IconBar “Oldschool review” of Quest for Gold in time for the London 2012 Olympics, but that never happened. (The review, not the Olympics))

Zarch → Virus

Indeed ArtWorks became Xara, and looking at the DTP feature set of Xara Designer Pro X, it looks like Impression also became Xara. They even reuse the term “Document Processor”.

eSpeak started out on RISC OS.
BBC Basic for Windows
Pushy2
NetSurf

I should think Pipedream counts as well.

DPScan (Imagemaster/DPIngScan)… https://www.davidpilling.com/cd/software.html
Is usable without OP. David has removed this restriction long time ago.

Thanks everyone for the info and suggestions. All I need now it an A5000 monitor to boot up and see what the screen is looking like. It makes all the right noises without a monitor attatched.
