Pere,
have you tested both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of XRoar? I'm using 32-bit Windows so I cannot try 64-bit XRoar, however none of the 32-bit XRoar versions that I have tried has failed to produce sound so it may be a problem specific to 64-bit XRoar.

Below is the debug information I obtain by using the above command line...

You can't do that (yet), if the program is written in BASIC, you can of course amend it to use MMOUNT / MDISK as needed. Could this be a feature that can be ...

Phill, I've read the manual (v1.0) and I have a couple of questions. The first is how do you change disk or tape images when a program is running and you cannot get back to the prompt to mount/unmount disk or tape images?

For those who wish to help you can find the original instructions and schematics at Vrai's Retro Stuff . Commodore, since I have not built the boards the best advice I can give at present is that before soldering or cutting anything you should first lay out the components on the board and move them ...

But make sure they are 5-pin like the ones Rolo links to and not 6-pin CoCo joysticks.
