Title: Mala and The BBC Micro
Post by: esmeralda4 on March 12, 2011, 01:21:24 pm

Hi there,

I'm new to this site and have just got Mala working with Mama, zsnes and pacifist but am having trouble getting games to launch with BeebEm the BBC Micro emulator I am using. Has anyone had any success with this?

Thanks.

Sure it does... Frak! Repton, Exile, Castle Quest.... Elite. It's awesome. (If you used to have a BBC micro in the 80's).

I've got this. What you need to do is to make a roms folder within your Beebem folder, and in it store .bat files for each game using your choice of the beebem command line parameters. This is mine for Repton:

c:\emulators\beebem\BeebEm repton.ssd -FullScreen

Then tell Mala that Beebem roms are stored in this new rom folder (not the place in my documents where Beebem puts disc images), tell Mala that the roms are .bat files, and set your command line parameters as: %path%\%rom%.%ext%

Ta-daa!
