Re: XRoar 0.29, Can't get it to work - Help !

Many thanks for all the help guys, I've just one more question..hopefully just one more. How do you get the joystick emulation to work ? I've tried the "Control+J" option but I don't see any changes on the screen (testing on "Dragon Data Ltd - Berserk.rom" and "Dragon Data Ltd - Metioroids.rom"). Wi...

Re: XRoar 0.29, Can't get it to work - Help !

All of the ROMs work perfectly on my PC with XROAR running on Windows XP Pro. Just out of interest; does this "ready to go" installation of XROAR work OK on your machine? I was getting the same results as before with this "ready-to-go" installation, but thankfully it had a list of BAT files, contai...

Re: XRoar 0.29, Can't get it to work - Help !

Try these ROM images. Thanks for the link. Some of the ROMs work for me and some don't (I'm probably doing something wrong). The d32.rom works and that's fine as I can run Alldream and refresh my very faded assembly language knowledge. I've Alldream running on my Dragon32 but some of the keys need ...

Re: XRoar 0.29, Can't get it to work - Help !

Loading ROM: C:\Documents and Settings\Spooky/Application Data/XRoar/roms/Dragon Data Ltd - DragonDOS 1.0.rom Ok this demonstrates it's able to find ROMs at all. I think we need to see a directory listing - XRoar searches for files with particular names (e.g., "d64_1.rom" and "d64_2.rom"), and whil...

Re: XRoar 0.29, Can't get it to work - Help !

I have been running xroar under various versions of Windows. I've always put the ROM files in the same directory as the rest of the xroar distribution. Works like a charm for me. Here's the list of files in my xroar directory. ChangeLog COPYING.GPL COPYING.LGPL-2.1 d32.ROM d64_1.ROM d64_2.ROM ddos1...

Re: XRoar 0.29, Can't get it to work - Help !

The ROMs have been put in the location "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\ApplicationData\XRoar\roms, where USERNAME is my Username, as recommended in the Xroar manual. That looks ok, except for the lack of a space between "Application" and "Data". What it comes down to is how much of that path di...

XRoar 0.29, Can't get it to work - Help !

Hi there. Dusted down my old Dragon 32 a few weeks ago and thought I'd have a go at doing something with it. After trawling the Net I came upon this forum which, pleasantly surprising to find, it is quite active; so here's hoping you may be able to help me get Xroar to work. First some specs: PC OS:...

EPROM programmer from electronics magazine - but which mag ?

Hi There, (sorry if this got posted twice) Some time ago, about 1986, I built a Dragon 32 EPROM programmer from a circuit published in an electronics magazine, the software to run the programmer was also published in the magazine. Unfortunately I've forgotten which magazine it was and have spent man...
