I've tried following the instructions at http://www.marutan.net/rpcemu/ro5.html to install RISC OS 5.17 and on my first attempt it didn't work either, although it failed for me in a different way: After I've unpacked HardDisc4 and configured boot from hostfs with: *configure filesystem hostfs *configure boot then after I reset with File->Reset RiscPC I get an error during boot: "File ,òflå,òflå,òflå,òflå,òflå,òflå,òflå' not found" - see the screenshot at http://www.devrx.org/software/rpcemu/screenshot_ro_5_17.png. If I press cancel in the error box then the same error is repeated. I then changed the CPU Type to SA110 (it was previously on the default of ARM610) and reset the emulated RiscPC again, and after that RISC OS 5.17 booted up to the desktop without problems. Chris, I would recommend changing the CPU type to SA110. If that doesn't work then you could try a different version of RISC OS, e.g. 4.39 or 4.02. Perhaps we should we change the default CPU type to SA110? I don't want to do this unilaterally for the Mac version though, I think that the default should be the same across all host platforms.
