The closest I can get it the NES - where I see it load and then a grey screen. Now I think I know this is down to headers, and I was told to download python 3 and sunshine scri...

Elite Space Trading Game

Good evening, Well I'm up and running :D Have NES and Genesis working well. I would like to get the old Elite game running on any platform really. I have tried a search and googled it. There is a site maintained by the publisher that has a link to the software - The BBC one is not in the correct format to run (and my search here seems you cannot sa...

Re: Totally New To All Of This

Thank you I have put the .MD files in the same directory as the core - IE on the SD drive with the cores for all the consoles - Should I have them somewhere else?

I can see load *.BIN,GEN,MD

If I hit return I get <UP = DIR>

A = No files

So close to getting this right I think
