A305/A301/A410/A440/A540 requirements:
- 4MB RAM minimum, 12MB RAM maximum
- RISCOS 3.11
- 32MB RAM minimum
- RISC OS 3.x, 4.x or 5.23 Jun 9th 2016 or newer. Note that some games will not work on 4.x due to the way it allocates screen memory in 1MB blocks
- RISC OS 5.23 Jun 9th 2016 or newer (must be High Vector, use a Nightly beta build. Do not use RC15)
- To get legacy TV MODEs working (0 to 15), you can try this Monitor file for 75Hz EGA on VGA
EGAonVGAMonitor.zip
- Any revision Pi, from Pi 1 to Pi 3 Model B, including Pi Zero
- RISC OS 5.23 Jun 9th 2016 or newer (must be High Vector, use a Nightly beta build. Do not use RC15)
- AnyMode must be installed in !Boot.Choices.Boot.PreDesk or the monitor set to Auto in Configure
- Ensure fake_vsync_isr=1 is uncommented in !Boot.Loader.CONFIG/TXT
- If you're running a ROM build of 14th Dec 2016 or newer you must disable GPU mode change support by creating !Boot.Loader.CMDLINE/TXT with the following contents:
Code: Select all
disable_mode_changes - (optional) For the proper retro gaming look, you can turn off the default GPU filtered upscaling by editing !Boot.Loader.CONFIG/TXT and add the following lines:
Code: Select all
#set GPU upscaling to nearest neighbour scaling_kernel=8 - (optional) If your display supports 50Hz, you can force the Pi to use 50Hz by editing !Boot.Loader.CONFIG/TXT and adding the following lines. Uncomment one of the hdmi_mode values:
At other monitor frequencies, games will still run at the correct rate but micro stutter may be noticeable where extra frames are added to make up the differenceCode: Select all
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080 # hdmi_group=1 #576p @ 50Hz #hdmi_mode=17 # #720p @ 50Hz #hdmi_mode=19 # #1080p @ 50Hz hdmi_mode=31
Known issues
- Does not support the protection used by Chequered Flag (RO2 version), Bubble Fair (Eterna), Fine Racer (Eterna) and KerBang! (Eterna) when running on RISC OS 3.1x (they talk directly to the FDC via IOC)
- Shelling out of the desktop (Ctrl-Shift-F12 twice) hangs if an HD floppy is mounted on RO3.5+ ARM710 under RedSquirrel
- Although Caverns runs fine under VIDC translation on the A7000, on a RiscPC the scrolling isn't quite correct
- Does not work on a RISC OS 3.1x machine with more than 12mb of RAM
- Some games don't display on Kinetic (eg Zarch)
- OMAP based cores are untested and may not work
- Some games that use overscan may result in a blank screen on a RiscPC
- Manchester United, the prompt to swap to disk 2 can be hard to see without holding SHIFT
- JIT does not work on ARMv3 (ARM6x0, ARM7x0, ARM8x0)

Changes since 2.61:
- Screen geometry was being changed unnecessarily when the VIDC20 resolution changed (fixes flickering in Stunt Racer 2000 intro and Cartoon Line pt.1)
- MRC CP15,0,Rd,C1 / C2,.. weren't returning cache status for their respective CPU type - ARM2/3 C2 returns cache status, ARM600+ C1 returns cache status (fixes in-game music in Wolfenstein 3D)
- ADFBootFloppy wasn't caching Boot scripts
- OS_Byte 19 and 113 were being intercepted on GPU based machines when the blitter wasn't active
- data_abort was using record_filename as a temp buffer
- ADFRecord would fail if a path is specified and ADFFS$RecordingPath is set
- ADFRecord now writes DiscOp's to the recording file immediately
- Compatibility page is now disabled on recent RISC OS builds while the JIT is running
- The machine state is now stored when the JIT starts and restored when shutdown
- shutdown_interrupts now also removes all vector claims (fixes CTRL-SHIFT-F12 in Lotus Turbo Challenge 2)
DO NOT try to run a game by launching it's Icon - it will almost certainly damage your machine.
