Hi, I can't get it to work on Arculator version 2.2. Does it work with ADFFS 2.74? Thank you very much.

This game won't run under Arculator as it requires a StrongARM. See the CPU/OS compatibility above.

If you have to run it under emulation, there's only RedSquirrel. RPCEmu does provides StrongARM emulation, although its MMU emulation isn't complete enough for ADFFS to work correctly, so some games might behave oddly.

That said, RPCEmu might work for this game as it's StrongARM native and the game boot script isn't doing anything complicated. I don't test or support games with RPCEmu due to the MMC emulation, so I can't say for certain.

RPCEmu is available for a variety of platforms.
RedSquirrel's host site went offline years ago, so I'm not sure where you'd get it these days.

Thank you so much for replying. When I run the game with Rpcemu, I get this error.

I'll refer you to my comments above:

If "Boot floppy" doesn't work...and running it directly doesn't work either...it's probably not going to work under RPCEmu.
