BBC Emulator

What BBC Emulator can you run on RISC OS 5 with the Raspberry Pi?

Think that there maybe more than one version like !65Host etc?

Try BeebIt.

Thank you for the web link.

I’m trying to get this application fully up and running, but have come up with this error, when I double click on the !BeebIt icon this will then appear on the Icon Bar, I then click on this and the screen goes black with the following at the top of the screen:

BBC Computer 32K
Acorn DFS
BASIC

When I type the following *FREE or *CAT I get the following error message.

Disk fault 1E at 00/00

Why is this happening? When I write a simple program and try to sae it, I also get the same message.

Hi,

You either need to have a blank “disc image” loaded (Iconbar menu > Configure > Drives) or have the Beebit File System (BFS) which allows access to the host’s (RISC OS Pi’s) filing system.

There should be info on the BeebIt web page but if you get stuck just post here again :)

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your post, where can I download a blank disc image to use with !BeebIt, some of the links on BeebIt web page seem to be broke, once you have a blank image where will this need to be placed on the hard drive so that it can be used by !BeebIt.

Hi,
sorry for delay been really busy with Drag N Drop and RISC OS London show :-)
I’ve made up a blank disc image, download here: http://www.dragdrop.co.uk/BLANK.SSD
Make sure its filetype is set to DFSImage (&B22)
Click menu on Beebit’s iconbar icon > Configure > Drives
Drag-drop BLANK onto the row numbered 0 at the left (drive 0) and ensure Writeable is ticked on the right.
Select-click on Beebit icon and you should now be able to save things to disc.
Hope that helps, if you have any probs post here.
Chris.
