Elite-A

I grabbed Elite-A because I heard that it uses a limited space similar to Frontier and it has variable hyperspace ranges.

Now, what emulator do I need to check this out??? Help.

From Ian Bell's site:

Also available here is Angus Duggan's Elite A, a comprehensive enhancement of BBC Elite. He created this by disassembling the object code and then reprograming the resultant source. A significant achievement for which respect is due. This fails to emulate on Horizon but can be emulated by Dave Devenport's BeebInC emulator

Expand the zip file into the same directory as BBC.EXE and then within that directory type

Code: Select all

EDIT: here's the correct link to the BeebIncC emulator.

I couldn't get BeebInC to work due to it being 16 bit, but I got BeeM to work. Stupid Elite-A never gave a hint about using a second processor and would hang up on pressing f0. I grabbed Elite then and found out about the second processor and once I had it on, Elite-A worked too. I love the fact that the hyperspace ranges differ for different ships!
