+= Keyboard commands: =+

PS3roar’s user interface is based around SDL. The emulator video output window is shown, and all operations are performed with keyboard combinations, usually accessed as Control+KEY. The following are

the keyboard combinations for the functions listed:

-= Loading Files =-

Control+I Insert a ROM cartridge.

Control+Shift+I Insert a ROM cartridge, no autorun.

Control+L Load a cassette file.

Control+Shift+L Load a cassette file and attempt to autorun it where appropriate.

Control+W Attach a virtual cassette file for writing.

Control+[1-4] Insert a virtual disk into drive 1-4.

Control+Shift+[1-4] Insert a blank virtual disk (40TSS) into drive 1-4.

Control+[5-8] Toggle write enable on disk in drive 1-4.

Control+Shift+[5-8] Toggle write back on disk in drive 1-4.

Control+S Save a snapshot.

Control+Shift+S Load a snapshot.

-= System Control Keys =-

Control+R Soft reset emulated machine.

Control+Shift+R Hard reset emulated machine.

Control+C Quit emulator (Power Off).

-= Emulation Configuration Keys =-

Control+K Toggle between Dragon and CoCo keyboard layout. See Keyboard.

Control+A Cycle through cross-colour video modes (hi-res only).

Control+M Cycle through emulated machine types (resets machine).

Control+E Toggle DOS emulation on/off – reset to take effect.

Control+J Cycle through joystick emulation modes (None, Left, Right).

Control+Shift+J Swap joystick mapping (left/right).

Control+Z Enable keyboard translation mode.

Control+F Switch from and back to Full screen mode.

F12 While held, the emulator will run at the maximum possible speed.

Control+U Create and copy from folders on USB for ROMS, CAS, DSK, BIOS, etc.

+= ROMS information =+

The emulator is distributed with some software for the Color Computer II, it is distributed with:

Dungeons of Daggorath, per the license below:

You must login or register to view this content.

To find other ROMS, and to find BIOS files; search google for the phrase, they are REQUIRED to get

the emulator working:

“color computer” roms

PS3Roar creates a folder structure on a USB drive that does not already contain a “PS3Roar” directory, the structure is:

BIOS

CASSETTES

DISKS

images

ROMS

SNAPSHOTS

These folders correspond to the folders in the installed PS3roar directory on the HDD. Placing files on the USB Stick, then again inserting into the PS3 and pressing CONTROL+U once more will copy the files to the PS3. Once copied, the USB stick can be removed. Note: files are NEVER loaded from USB,

they must be on the internal HDD in the proper location. The CONTROL+U functionality makes this easy and removes the need to FTP files to the PS3.

+= Notes =+

- You will need to unzip the rom files. They need to be .rom files, the emulator doesn’t deal with .zips

- You will need to get your own roms and (for now) place them in /dev_hdd0/game/PS3Roar00/USRDIR/ROMS/ to get the emulator



It says You will need to get the bios (all 4 of them) yourself but once you do, put the BIOS on the root of a USB pen drive and press Control+U in the emulator and exit, then reload to get the BIOS initialized. You can only use one BIOS at a time. Also I am told, you should be on the look out for the Easter Egg in this program, which can be triggered by an unlisted button combo. Thanks go out to CrashSerious author of this port and thanks to the emulator’s original author Ciaran.
