methodman Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 I have been able to make every emulator work, after a day or so of tinkering around. But the Arculator really has me stumped. I bought the classic romsets for the riscOS and copied them to the roms file, but there is extra stuff inm each bios folder. Does that extra stuff go into the roms folder also. I tried a config window, but nothing seems to happen. I haven't found any you tubes on how to make any acorn emulator archemidies emulator work. I keep getting a directory broken error. Any ideas thanks>
methodman Posted October 31, 2020 Author Posted October 31, 2020 There are actually quite a few emulators that emuiate the Acorn Archimedes but I am unable to get any of them to work and there really are no setup config videos either.
methodman Posted November 2, 2020 Author Posted November 2, 2020 Let me explain my setup. I have a usb HD as my C: with windows on it. But my emulators are on the D:\ which is a regular 2 terrabyte HD. I keep getting a broken directory error, and nothing runs. Could that be because this emulator will only work on a C::\ drive? Every other emulator works, except for the Acorn Archimedes articulator, or red squirrel. Am I making sense? Thanks
Draco1962 Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Not sure that there is much that can be done to help you here until you get it working via Arculator or Red Squirel first. I don't emulate this so I won't be of any help. A search through the GameEx forums turned up bupkiss. I would start with what appears to be some sort of an unofficial support forum to address your questions - https://stardot.org.uk/forums/viewforum.php?f=30 Perhaps you could ask if there is command line support and, if so, report back with a link or information as you will need the command line information to configure via GameEx.
sms2169 Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Hello I’m curious if you got any further with arculator. I tried this years back and could not get the command line figured out to launch games. I have it working outside of gameex except my keyboard, can’t get it mapped for some reason, still working on it, but am going to find a similar system to download from the emulator section since gameex doesn’t have bbc acorn systems available . I’ll let you know what I come up with. Anyone else emulate acorn Archimedes? Thx.
Draco1962 Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Nope. Did you check via the forum link I posted regarding command line arguments? Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be many active emulators to choose from.
sms2169 Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 I’m working on it. Since the big new release it’s taking some time for response and I’m sure addressing new issues. I’m hoping it’s similar to apple 2 for mounting disk images
sms2169 Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Arculator does not have command line support, nor launch in fullscreen. I saw in the launch box forum while google searching command line they got it to work by replacing the .exe with a bat file he made and it mounted it to drive 0. I can run arculator in gameex but I have to choose the config file to launch arculator the select game and launch it manually. But it works in gameex just doesn’t boot directly to game. I will see what they say about these issues. May try another emulator for now . Here’s the pic of the bat file he made. I can’t download the file because it’s private to the launch box community. Thx.
