Am I being thick?

How in Crom's name do you load and run a cartridge ROM in Xroar? I downloaded a few from the archive, and after faffing around for a while I decided just to embarrass myself and post the question here.

You load with Ctrl + Shift + L select the .rom image and it should load and start automatically.
Hope this helps.

Uhhh... weird...

I just get a green screen with Xroar 0.27 on Windows.

Cartridge support was broken from v0.25 to v0.27. You will need to use v0.24 or the latest v0.28.1 to load cartridge ROM images.

Code: Select all

Ctrl+I ............ Insert a cartridge.
Ctrl+Shift+I ...... Insert a cartridge, no autorun.

Ctrl+L ............ Load a file (see below).

Loading a file with Ctrl+L autodetects the file type by extension, and
acts accordingly:

 * Disk files (".dmk", ".vdk", ".jvc", ".dsk") are inserted into drive 1.
 * Virtual cassettes (".cas") are attached.  If shift is also pressed,
   XRoar will attempt to autodetect their type and insert the appropriate
   load command ("CLOAD" or "CLOADM:EXEC") into the keypress buffer.
 * Hex records (".hex") will be loaded into memory.
 * CoCo binaries (".bin") will be loaded into memory and started from their
   EXEC address.
 * Snapshots (".sna") will continue from when they were saved.
 * Unrecognised filetypes are assumed to be audio files, and if XRoar
   is built with libsndfile, it will attempt to use them for cassette
   input.

AAAH. I didn't know there was a new build out - will get that and try again.

Cheers Zephyr.

Sorry, that was me being thick to assume that you were using version 0.24 as I do. I will get the hang of this one day and offer good sound advice on this forum (just don't hold your breath! ).

lol. No mate, it was my bad for not supplying that information in the first place. i just assumed I was doing something wrong so didn't think to post which version I was using in my intitial question.
