ReadMe1st

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

              ReadMe1st: Important information about 6502Dem
              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NOTE: This demo version lacks the following features: 
the loading of sampled BBC tapes, the saving of snapshots of the emulator 
state, the saving of emulator screens as Sprites, and Electron emulation. 
All other features are fully implemented.

To obtain any of the Superior Software games described in the documentation,
contact Superior Software on 01652 658585.

The software on this disc has been archived to save space. This means that
it must be installed before it can be run. To install the software follow
the simple instructions below.

Documentation for the emulators and the tape software can be found in
archives in the 'Docs' directory.

These instructions assume you are installing to a harddisc. The procedure
for installing to floppy is similar, but will either require you to use a
RAM disc as temporary storage, or to swap discs many times.

Installing 6502Em to harddisc:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[6502Em is archived, and needs to be installed and activated before it
can be run.]

1) Insert the cover disc in drive 0.
2) Run ArcFS. (Its icon will appear on the icon bar.)
3) Double-click the !6502Dem. (A Filer window will appear.)
5) Open a Filer window on your hard drive where you want to install 6502Dem.
6) Drag the !6502Dem and !Rip65Host applications from the cover disc Filer
   window to the harddisc Filer window.
7) Now run the installed !6502Dem. This will tell you to run !Rip65Host
   first.
8) Open a filer window containing !65Host. (If you do not have a copy of
   !65Host, a copy can be found in the Acorn directory inside the !6502
   archive on the cover disc; copy this to the same directory as 6502Dem
   is being installed in.)
9) Double-click on !Rip65Host; this extracts the BBC operating system from
   inside !65Host, and inserts it into !6502Dem.
10) Delete !Rip65Host from the hard disc.
11) If you copied !65Host out of the archive on the floppy, you can now
    delete it from the harddisc.
12) Done!

[If you have access to a Master and/or Master compact, you may like to run
the 'Utils.SAVERoms' program on them to obtain the operating systems for these
machines too. The resulting files can be placed inside !6502Em.ROMs.Master and
!6502Em.ROMs.Compact as Documented in the Docs.ROMs file. This will allow these
machines to be emulated too.]

Why aren't the BBC/Master/Master Compact Operating Systems included?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The simple answer is we are not allowed to. If we had our way, we would
supply every copy of 6502Em with BBC, Master, Master compact, and the newer
Master operating systems built in. This would be considerably simpler for
all concerned.

Unfortunately, Acorn told us that we would need to pay �5000 for the rights
to distribute these operating systems. As a small company we cannot possibly
afford this much money, and so we have had to distribute the software without
the ROM images in an easily upgradable form.

Apologies for the inconvenience, but there is nothing we can do about this.
