I have an ARMX6 runnin RISC OS 5, and have the Iyonix compatible version !6502em which I use quite often. I would certainly be interested in any new updated versions, and happy to test it on a RISC OS 5 machine.
Great, it's all released now, see above and enjoy :)

All installed and running OK - it has run everything correctly I have tested with it.

the only weird occurance was the Superior version of Zalaga crashed with an error on the MODE 7 title screen.

But it could be a corrupt download, as the Aardvark version worked fine.

It's a great emulator, just a shame you can't really run ssd files with it, or am I missing this ?

That's what !ImageDFS does :)

You can. With 6502em loaded on iconbar double click on an SSD file and it should just load in and run. If it has a !boot file it should all just work. Otherwise once inside the emulator you can catalogue it and chain indivdual files etc.

Like Steve says you can also use it in conjunction with !ImageDFS.
