Can somebody please help me.I`ve got a Dragon which I`m now using to try and program again,scripting a few simple games to get my fingers back in.I`ve seen you can get an emulator for the P.C. This would be easier to use as it`s a bit trickie to type fast on the Dragon keyboard.I`m having trouble getting Xroar to work as I get the checked screen with inverted @ on it.The guide says I need ROM image or the like.Could somebody help me as I`m not to upto date with modern computers. If someone can explain how to do this in simple terms from start to finish I would be very greatful, Please imagine your explaining this to someone who still listens to prog rock, with an expanding belly and a shiny head and who`s kids laugh at him trying to text.

Just grab the relevant ROM images from the download section of the forum and copy the files into the xroar installation directory. The ROM image named "Dragon Data Ltd - Dragon 32 - IC17.zip" will give you a standard Dragon 32.

Further ROMs can be found at http://archive.worldofdragon.org/archiv ... ?dir=Roms/

For a Dragon 64 you will need both "Dragon Data Ltd - Dragon 64 - IC17.zip" and "Dragon Data Ltd - Dragon 64 - IC18.zip".

To access disk images you will also need a DOS ROM such as "Dragon Data Ltd - Dragon DOS 1.0.zip", "Eurohard S.A - Dragon DOS 4.0.zip", "PNP - SuperDOS E6.zip", or "S3 - DOSPlus 4.9B.zip", etc.

Even more Dragon ROMs can be found in the Dragon subdirectory of the above page.

Thanks for that guys,it`s running no problem at all now,Just one more question though how do I load a program from tape and how do I save a program back to tape,I read you can save it as a .bas file but thats into the P.C but what do I do from there ? Thanks for the help and what a great and useful forum,cheers

Hi here is the xroar page

http://www.6809.org.uk/dragon/xroar-manual.shtml

Tried to attach the PDF manual to this post - but it hasn't worked ?!?!?!

But in brief Press [CNTRL]+[L]
Select your cassette tape file from the file selction popup.

Then at the BASIC prompt just type the CLOAD / CLOADM command and it will load from the file you selected.
