[Coco] XRoar Windows 8 64-Bit

[Kip Koon]

Lou,
The XRoar.conf for my Xoar snap 20130309 w64 version has the following
lines:

machine becker
machine-desc Coco 2 with Becker Port
machine-arch coco
machine-cpu 6809
becker-port 65504
becker-ip 127.0.0.1
bas bas12.rom
extbas extbas11.rom
tv-type ntsc
ram 64
cart becker
cart-desc HDBDOS, DW3, Becker Port for Coco 2
cart-type rsdos
cart-rom hdbdw3bck.rom
cart-becker
cart-autorun

and like I said in another email I'm running HDBDOS v1.4 Dw3 with the Becker
Port in XRoar which accesses my Drivewire 4 Server.  It's a Blast!  I hope
this helps.
Kip

So some more playing around, and I can get color basic 1.1 -1.3 to work, but
I cannot have any extbasic roms in the folder, or atleast that cannot be the
expected names.  When they do not load, the information from the stderr.txt
file shows this (this is for color basic 1.0):

Module init: SDL UI
Module init: Windows32 file requester
Module init: SDL OpenGL video
Module init: SDL audio

    23ms (1024 samples) buffer
Module init: SDL keyboard input
Module init: SDL joystick input
    No joysticks found
Module init failed: SDL joystick input
WARNING: No joystick module initialised.

For color basic 1.1, which works:

Module init: SDL UI
Module init: Windows32 file requester
Module init: SDL OpenGL video
Module init: SDL audio
