I've looked over the recent ArcEm work, and I'm quite impressed. I know there's still a few rough edges, and we need to put together things like a !Boot sequence that we can distribute with it. I'd therefore like to do a new release sometime in January.
For the !Boot sequence, I believe Peter has something available that we can look at - if not, one can easily be created - although perhaps we ought to clarify the instances under which we can distribute it. For the RISC OS 3.1 ROM, I will create a script which will download and extract it from the support files from !A310Em, thereby side-stepping copyright issues. This will allow a degree of instant gratification on Unix systems so people can just type "make" and have it all work, which will considerably lower the barrier to people trying it out. For the future, I'm keen to see us use QEMU, perhaps integrating into it. Its JIT will allow at least RiscPC speed on modern hardware. We'll have to add 26-bit mode and move the hardware support to QEMU of course - challenging, but hopefully no more than an engineering exercise.
