an Acorn Emulator, could be great!

"The Archimedes was the very first RISC-based personal computer and was technically a very advanced machine."

The GP2X already has a port! Maybe its time to port it to the PSP...

Source code:

-ArcEm : "ArcEm is a Acorn A400 hardware emulator that is highly portable, it currently runs on Unix (X Windows), Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, the GP2X handheld, RISC OS and Amiga OS 4. As it's a hardware emulator it's capable of running multiple operating systems including RISC OS 3.10 and ARM Linux."

-Arculator : "A Freeware Acorn Archimedes Emulator for Windows"

you should ask zx he is knocking out alot of emulators at the moment.

[PsychoSync]

Yeah, zx could do it, but you know if he come across this post and is interested, great, but i don't wanna bug him or PM him for that you know. He's giving us great emus.

[crossfadeking]

there is no harm in asking. he knocks out these emulators in no time.
i think he is proud to port them and i would be if i did too.

[PsychoSync]

yeah maybe i can try to ask him, i'll let you know if he answers...

[PsychoSync]

No, zx will not do it and i understand him, he already ported 5 emus... So if someone feels like doing this port, i thank thee.

[samidgley]

I asked for that a while ago and it was ignored generally.. hope someone does make one though

[deviant]

Considering zx81 already ported an Acorn BBC emulator (beebem), I'm sure he could do ArcEm easily, if he can find the motivation. I for sure wouldnt mind playing the Archimedes version of Elite :)

(Oh and thanks a lot for the BBC emu! I wrote my very first code on that amazing piece of machinery)
