XRoar is a Dragon emulator for Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, GP32, Nintendo
|
||
|
|
DS and Windows. Due to hardware similarities, XRoar also emulates the
|
||
|
|
Tandy Colour Computer (CoCo) models 1 & 2.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To usefully emulate the Dragon or CoCo, you will need the images of
|
||
|
|
the system ROMs for the target system. The ROM images must be copied to
|
||
|
|
/usr/share/xroar/roms, and must be given the filenames xroar expects. See
|
||
|
|
the xroar info page or /usr/doc/xroar-0.23b/xroar.html for details on
|
||
|
|
ROM files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to include ROM images in the package, get the files
|
||
|
|
"coco.zip", "coco2.zip", "cocoe.zip", "dragon32.zip", and/or
|
||
|
|
"dragon64.zip" from any site that carries MESS BIOS images. Place them
|
||
|
|
in the directory with the SlackBuild script before running it. The
|
||
|
|
resulting package cannot be redistributed (that would violate both the
|
||
|
|
GPL and the original copyright on the ROM images).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you don't include the ROM images, it's still possible to run
|
||
|
|
some Dragon32 software: the package includes a freeware ROM image
|
||
|
|
(mini-dragon.rom) that partly reimplements the original ROM code. This
|
||
|
|
is enough to run at least some cartridge-based games.
