That's great! I just hacked the download links to point to the parent page
so the page doesn't have to get updated for every version. It would
probably make sense for Mac builds to go on the main RPCemu web page once
they have stabilised - at the moment I'm just throwing things about for
testing.

There is the tickbox in Preferences, however I haven't explored that. There
is also a RISC OS program that can be run (comes in the riscos-progs folder)
- I'm not clear on what the current recommended position is (all this isn't
specific to Mac as far as I'm aware)

There's not much advantage to being in SA110 mode. There's also no
advantage to having VRAM. It probably makes sense to have the default
settings the same as the Windows version of RPCEmu so things are consistent.
Should all versions move to 128MB RAM?

Is there a reason why this is not enabled by default? Is it so on Windows?
