BBC Compatibility
Over the summer of 1996 I bought Warm Silence Software's !6502Em BBC Microcomputer emulator, and since then I've
tried playing lots of games on it. I've collected on this page the
results of my playtesting.
All games have been tested on an ARM 710 Risc PC 700 with version 1.50
of !6502Em, using BBC OS 1.2. That so many of them work perfectly
is a testimony to just how good !6502Em's emulation is!
In general, if you're having problems with the palette - sometimes the
reason for you getting a completely blank screen - try disabling the 'Palette'
option, and pushing f10 during the game to get the current settings.
If the game uses Caps Lock and Ctrl for left and right remember
to select the 'Arcadians' keymap which will duplicate these
keys on 'A' and 'S', making the game far easier to control.
The 'exact speed' option doesn't always work, and although Warm Silence
Software claim that Snapper runs at the correct speed I'm afraid
it doesn't on my machine, and I know of at least one other person with
the same problem.
'y' indicates that the game works as expected. Games are indexed
alphabetically by publisher.
- There's also another list available, kindly supplied by Alex Card. This one's 40K in size
so I haven't included it on this page.
