Question about emulation modes in Xroar

I have downloaded the BIOS ROMs for the D64 and TRS-80 Color Computer Basic and have stored them in the same location as the BIOS ROM for the D32. However, when Xroar loads it defaults to the D32 BIOS (which works fine) and I am unable to cycle through to the other BIOS roms using the ctrl-m command suggested in the Xroar manual. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong? I am running Xroar under Windows 7.
Thanks,
Gareth.

The only thing that comes to mind are the filenames of the ROMs, though most of the names found in the zips on this site are recognised.
Does the stderr.txt or stdout.txt file reveal anything?

Its working OK here. Did you get your ROMs from the
uploads section of the forum?

I checked the stderr.txt file and it correctly shows the machine types and relevant ROM BIOSs. When I create separate profiles for Xroar with each containing only one BIOS ROM (e.g. D32, or D64 or Color Basic) it works fine, but when I have all the various BIOS ROMs in the same directory, I can only emulate the D32.

Success! I used the ROMs that you linked to Zephyr and they all seem to work nicely. Thank you. I am now happily EXEC'ing away in Dragon 64 mode enjoying the extra RAM.

May I ask, from where did you get the faulty ROMs, and if you know (vbindiff can be of help), what is the difference to the others?
