[Coco] Which Coco Emulator for Raspberry Pi?

[Bob Devries]

SDLMess0125 compiles correctly, but as yet doesn't run properly. It gets 
to the system selection panel, and locks up.

I wonder if there is just not enough memory to run it from the desktop? 
Chris can you comment on this?

Sigh, I'll investigate further.
