[Coco] Keil under VMWARE or better suggestion

[Bill Pierce]

Mark, I run XRoar for NOS9 L1 on Windows Vista. I'm pretty sure it runs on Win 7 & 8.
The problem a lot of people have with XRoar in windows is that the win binaries do not provide the menu system the manual talks of. The trick is to download the GTK snapshots of xroar and install the gtk. libraries. You then get all the menus and options.

If you're interested, I can send your a snap of the one I use complete with the libraies, just click and run.
Not only will it run NitrOS9 L2 but it can access drivewire as well.

Hi all,

Ultimately I want to install Nitros9 L1 on my CF for playing around on my 
HDBDOS-enabled Coco1/2 FPGA implementation.

But before I attempt to get that far, I thought I'd better get it running 
under an emulator on windows first...

I tried running Keil on my 64-bit Windows 7 and of course it doesn't run. So 
I fired up VMWARE with 32-bit WinXP and have had no luck at all running it 
there either.

The Coco1 version of the emulator doesn't respond to <F4> or <F5> but will 
respond to <F10> etc. Can't explain that one at all.

The Coco2 version of the emulator responds to <F4> but refuses to list any 
files at all in the ROM file selector screen, so I can't even insert the 
disk controller cartridge into the MPI!?! It's a conspiracy!!!

I've just had zero luck tonight and I'm over it all.

Anyone successfully run L1 on a Coco1/2 emulator under Windows 7 64-bit? If 
so, which emulator did you use? Is MESS up to the task?

Also on another note: is there any way to grab the Nitros9 source without 
installing Mercurial?

TIA,
Regards,
