Here's some emulation progress of the rare Wren Executive, only 1000 made. An interesting CP/M machine with 64K/256K RAM and graphics capabilities with colour attributes. It also came with BBC BASIC and had a 40 column mode with 8 colours for Prestel.

Ah, so yours announces itself as 68000XD for the disk version, and the ROM is 68000XR, never knew that. More of this Crossware stuff needs archiving as so little is available to play with.

With the latest video improvements in MAME 0.280 we can now also play with the PMS Genie ROM (with PMS Clock). It's quite an impressive package for the time with 32K battery-backed RAM to keep it's data safe.

Another clone of the BBC Micro, the extremely rare (only two known to exist) Hope Dolphin from India is also now officially supported.

The latest MAME 0.280 release has lots of BBC Micro improvements, fixing lots of silly issues, and is finally able to render Elite correctly.
Another nice addition is the emulation of the Acorn speech upgrade, which currently no other emulator supports.

Ever wondered what it's like to have a Votrax Type 'N Talk hooked up to a BBC Micro via the RS423 port?

Another ROM for the Psion Series 3mx was dumped yesterday, this is a Dutch version and will be supported in the next MAME release.
We're always looking out for non UK versions of Series 3a/3c/3mx, and already have a few for the 3a/3mx but only a UK version of the 3c. Get in touch if you have any.

A few months ago I started work on emulating the Psion Series 7. The machine starts to boot and confirms I have the palette and screen rendering implemented correctly, but still lots more work required to understand the hardware.

Here's a preview of something coming soon to MAME!

I don't have many originals in my collection, but this was definitely a worthwhile purchase!

I have the 'portable' image, so if I can emulate the mouse to acknowledge the 'Icon file corrupted' then it should boot?
