Does anyone know if the Raspberry Pi will run the Archimedes port of Lemmings? The Raspberry Pi capably runs the RISC OS operating system natively on its ARM processor, in many ways it could be considered to be the spiritual successor of the Archimedes. I know the hardware has changed in ways that trip up games, so it's not a guarantee that Lemmings would work. I found some information here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=32036&p=279057 https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=32036&p=2...

It looks like it works [1]. It's from the "Archimedes Software Preservation Project" [2]. I must get in touch, since a few years ago I imaged most of my Acorn floppy discs, but I haven't done much with them. If the Raspberry Pi makes it very easy, that's great.

I can now confirm! Lemmings [0] is available for download for RISC OS [1], and with ADFFS [2], and a bit of fiddling if you only have a Raspberry Pi 3 to hand [3] (earlier versions don't need the fiddling), it runs fine, with perfect sound, graphics etc! I'm very pleased :-D [0] http://forums.jaspp.org.uk:9000/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=96 http://forums.jaspp.org.uk:9000/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=9...
