Great stuff Craig!!!

I have tried to setup this system a few times the last two years but to no avail.

I hope you can fully succeed yourself.

You are really doing a great job.

Cool. Do u have any stuff for it? Themes, wheels, vids pngs etc?

Sadly I have nothing you don't already have.

I wish I could have helped...

I remember back then that the Archimedes was marketed in France as a "commodore Amiga killer", especially because of its supposedly superior 3D capabilities (as demonstrated by games such as Zarch or conqueror). It never happened of course but it was for sure an interesting piece of hardware with a few good games.

I followed the attached instructions and now have an arculator that can play .jdf games off of the built in hard-drive. I can share the emulator already set up this way if anybody wants it.

I have learned that these instructions were made by KARATE-ED

Thank you KARATE-ED!!

And here is a video - how to load a game already installed on the harddrive

1) click IDEDisc4 to open the hard-drive

2) click !ADFFS and then you will see it's icon at the bottom of emulator

3) click the folder want (i.e. zool in the video)

4) click the game to start it

Just name the files so they end with the disc number and then use CTRL-SHIFT-F1 / F2 / F3 etc

For example, name the disc image files as:

Game1

Game2

CTRL-SHIFT-F1 will mount Game1, CTRL-SHIFT-F2 will mount Game2

-and i think jon abbott is like the brolly of archimedes!
