Ciaran has been busy with XRoar. He’s added preliminary MC-10 support! Perform an “Update CoCo-Pi from git repo” on the Administration (Utilities) Menu and then install this latest package. There is a new MC-10 XRoar menu as well. More CoCo-Pi updates planned for tomorrow as I get caught up with a few things.

I’ve added the rclone package to CoCo-Pi for use with Cloud drive based services. It’s something that used to be part of the older CoCo-Pi distributions, but it seemed like it wasn’t used (or perhaps people did not even know it was there) so I did not add it to this lastest release of CoCo-Pi. […]

A new “Dragon 64 Attract Mode” option has been added to the CoCo-Pi which showcases John Whitworth’s 6×09 SuperSprite FM+ add-on board for the Dragon and CoCo computers. You can find out more about the board from John’s site: https://www.dragonplus-electronics.co.uk/super-sprite-fm-plus/ Thanks to Nigel Barnes for adding support to MAME for this device (as of MAME […]

It’s a great day for emulator updates for the CoCo-Pi. First, a new XRoar and now the latest MAME 0.236. Perform an “Update CoCo-Pi from git repo” on the Administration (Utilities) Menu and then install the latest MAME package (from the same menu). Select mame-0.236-1 as the default version and enjoy!
