Re: The stupidestest RPCEmu question
How about this for a slightly left-field solution. I haven't got a Mac Keyboard to test it, but I've tried the theory with a standard keyboard, so don't see why it wouldn't work. Anyway here goes... Assuming Windows 10. Go to settings- ease of access - keyboard - use your device without a physical k...

Re: Illusionist
No problem. Always enjoy having a play with things. If you're just buying Virtual RPC just to run this (initially anyway) you could save some money by purchasing VirtualRPC-DL (RO4.02) I have this installed on my laptop and Illusion works fine on that also... £25 http://www.riscos.com/shop/products/...

Re: Illusionist
Ok. I've had a chance to play with Illusion, using the sphere object as you suggested. I can confirm that using RPCEmu with RISC OS 3.71 and also my Arculator set up (A3010 RISC OS 3.11) it does not work. i.e those buttons do nothing. However it definitely does work in the way you suggest with my Vi...

Re: Illusionist
I'm not really familiar with the program and what you're meant to do with it. But I found a version on an old RiscWorld CD, which says it is v1.95 (for Risc World). I've had a play with it on Virtual Risc PC-SA running RISC OS4.02 and those buttons seem to do something, but as I say it's not really ...

No problem they are all 16k.
I don't know if it's significant but the Master Compact OS 5.1 ROM is listed here
https://acorn.huininga.nl/pub/roms/Acorn/OS/
No idea where I originally got my files from, but they are all dated 1995 except for ADFS 2.10, which seems to be dated 2014 for some reason

I no longer have an Iyonix to test it on.But it's quite an old app, so probaly not 32 bit safe
But I've tried it with RPC_Emu running RO 5.27 and it works with Aemulor loaded.
