RPCEmu has been developed so that OS5 actually has 8MB VRAM with a setting of 2MB. This enables 16M colours at 1920x1080. As far as I am aware there is no actual snag with a less than 2MB setting other than less colours. Similarly OS4.02 gets 4MB VRAM when 2MB is set. > > Also, I have found that with the ARM610 CPU emulation, RISC OS 5 is quite > crash-happy.

As I understand it SA110 emulation is currently absolute requirement for RPCEmu to run OS5, see :- http://marutan.net/rpcemuspoon/ro5.html > I’m sure I read somewhere that the SA110 emulation is the most extensively > used and so the most developed/mature. I could be mis-remembering. I haven't heard that, as far as I am aware the other CPUs are fine with OS4.02. -- David Pitt _______________________________________________ Rpcemu mailing list Rpcemu@riscos.info http://www.riscos.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rpcemu
