I'd tried holding Delete down before and had no noticeable effect. I
deleted the cmos.ram file and tried again ("sudo ./rpcemu") and got the
message "Could not open CMOS file '/home/david/rpcemu/cmos.ram': No
such file or directory". It then opened up a blue window with
"MIPS:292.8. AVG:30..." (the MIPS fluctuating).
My RO version is 3.70; the rpc.cfg is:
mouse_following = 1
cdrom_type = 0
cdrom_enabled = 1
blit_optimisation = 0
refresh_rate = 60
stretch_mode = 0
sound_enabled = 1
vram_size = 2
cpu_type = ARM710
mem_size = 32
ipaddress = 172.31.0.1
The cmos.ram file which reappeared after I quit the emulator is full of
nulls.
