Archimedes
I can see that there are quite a few exclusive titles for the Archimedes - but I have no clue how to get up and running. Anyone who can help?
Re: Archimedes
What emulator do you use? I use RPCEmu 0.8.13.
Re: Archimedes
To install the emulator you will need the following files:
*rpcemu-win32-archive-0.8.13.zip
*riscos3_71.zip
*uniboot.zip
*splug226.bas
-Unzip the emulator
-Unzip the rom in the RPCEmu/rom folder
-Unzip uniboot and paste the folder !boot in the folder RCPEmu/hostfs
-Paste the file splug226.bas in the folder RCPEmu/hostfs
-Start the emulator and press F12
-At the command line type:
*configure filesystem hostfs (press enter)
*configure boot (press enter)
*(press enter)
-Now choose disc in the top menu and insert the game disc you want to play.
-If you click on the disc drive icon at the bottom, which has a 0 underneath it, you should open the disc image and if you double click on the game icon the game should run.

Re: Archimedes
Impressive
I'll give it a go and then this seems like a likely candidate for a Starting Guide

Re: Archimedes
I have an original Archimedes computer in the Attic. Will get it down and check it out. Think I need to replace the Floppy Disk drive.
What Text adventures were there for the Archimedes.

Re: Archimedes
I'd check your Arc now, on the versions of the Arc with a battery soldered in (i.e. A3000 onwards), these can leak and cause a large mess all over the motherboard.

Archimedes Battery ...
Thanks for the advice on the Archimedes battery, have removed it and replaced. Not too much of a mess from the battery. I had similar leaky battery problems with an Atari ST Mega. Think the batteries were only used for the screen clock but I could be wrong. Regards
