Well, as the posting was about RO on a Mac, it certainly came out fine on my Mac Pro!

Sadly, I've given up with RO on the Mac. It would have solved all my problems, but I have VRPC which is quite useless. Yes, it works, just, but isn't really useable. RPCemu sounds good, but only in Alpha puts me off. So I have to use native apps on the Mac, none of which are anything like as versatile as good old RO apps!

I'm still using an ancient RiscPC for the majority of my work (relying on Ovation Pro, artworks and various other apps I've never found equal on the Mac).

But back to the plot - the posting with the screen image came out fine here, and shows just why RPCemu is close, but not quite useable on a Mac yet. I live in hope!

I'm a devoted RO fan, but RPCemu hasn't quite made it yet, sadly.

Jeremy.

And a waste of time that was, as the whole over a Megabyte posting was
just filled with garbage... Unless you take it to a PC Mail client.

It would have been better to have placed it (Picture) up on a site
somewhere and just posted the link so those that wanted it could download
it, and the rest could have read your note without the garbage.

Cheers for the link - didn't realise that they were compressed. Following the Linux instructions I decompressed the files to get a single 6MB file, which I put into the roms folder, and hey presto, it booted into RISC OS 6.20. Now need to create a proper boot disc, and give it a proper test.

Cheers,

Gerald.

RISC OS Netsurf on Beagleboard

Hi all

There is a discussion over on the ROOL site about Netsurf crashing on
my Beagleboard:

https://www.riscosopen.org/forum/forums/11/topics/1610?page=1

Tried switching everything off/on/round in the options, checking other
apps aren't running etc. but with no success,

Does anyone have any ideas what might be going wrong?

thanks.

The Mac OS version doesn't have that setting.
