You have to add the Dragon ROMS to a folder named Roms inside your XRoar folder and name the rom files according the XRoar manual.

For example, if you have XRoar installed in "C:\XRoar", you can put the Dragon 64 roms (named D64_1.rom and D64_2.rom) into the "C:\XRoar\Roms" folder. That should do it.

Get the Dragon 64 roms here: http://archive.worldofdragon.org/archiv ... ?dir=Roms/

Unzip them to your xroar/roms folder and check that the rom names are set as xroar expects.

Download the files Dragon Data Ltd - Dragon 64 - IC17.zip and Dragon Data Ltd - Dragon 64 - IC18.zip and unzip them to your Xroar/Roms folder.

The, rename Dragon Data Ltd - Dragon 64 - IC17.ROM to D64_1.rom and the file Dragon Data Ltd - Dragon 64 - IC18.ROM to D64_2.rom.
