Moving back to Linux RPCEmu on my Mac www.iconbar.com/articles/Mov... I'm a big fan of RPCEmu which provides an excellent RISC OS environment on my Mac when I'm travelling. In this post I'm going to explore why I have switched back to the Linux version and cover some of the issues I encountered.

RISC OS London Show 2025 - Notes from the talks www.iconbar.com/articles/RIS... Here are my notes from the talks. As usual, any mistakes or omissions are mine.

RISC OS London Show 2025 - pictures www.iconbar.com/articles/RIS... Here is a selection of pictures to show you what the event was like

RISC OS London Show Report 2025 www.iconbar.com/articles/RIS... The 2025 London Show took place in its new regular venue. Overall there was a real buzz and plenty of people attending. Here is what I saw on the floor.

Just in case the cryptic images haven't helped, here's an easier picture clue of an external antenna! We'll have them for sale at the @rougol #riscoslondonshow2025 with access to FREE #RISC_OS control software for #ComputeModule4 systems, like our FreeNVMe and FAST systems.

Want a flash new keyboard, that will literally flash if you ask it to!? Fully programmable Cherry MX Red near-silent keys, backlight LEDs, customisable key colours on individual keys! Emulate a BBC, A3000, A3010 or Pi500+ keyboard! See it at #riscoslondonshow2025 #risc_os

See and buy our new #FASTNVMeXL system with our #FreeNVMe drivers, and a whopping 8GB RAM usable under #RISC_OS. Sleek, smooth, and very cool! #risc_os #riscoslondonshow2025 #WhatWillYouDoWithIt?

Exclusive: see it working with your RISCOSbits #RISC_OS #FreeNVMe or #FAST system at tomorrow's @rougol London Show: riscoslondonshow.co.uk

London is closer than you think! www.riscosopen.org/news/article...

Get in to the #riscoslondonshow2025 for free with #FreeNVMe! Sort of... www.riscosopen.org/forum/forums...

Coast at your desk with our Show exclusive Welsh Slate Drink Mats (with rubber pads to avoid scratching!). At a bargain price of £5 each. Limited stock, so hurry up to the RISCOSbits stand! #CoastingWithRISC_OS #RISC_OS #AcornComputers #riscoslondonshow2025

You'll be upset, too, if you miss it! Exclusively available at the #RISC_OS London Show! #riscoslondonshow2025

Don't mind me. Just running Windows - inside Acorn RISC OS - inside macOS. Why? Why not.

Come and see our #ECOS Companion devices for #risc_os, and see how you can run responsive alternative operating systems alongside your favourite OS. Order yours at the Show! #riscoscompanions #riscoslondonshow2025 #InternalOrExternal

Now under #RISC_OS control... see the control software in action at the @rougol Show. #riscoslondonshow2025

October 2025 Rougol report - RISCOSbits show plans www.iconbar.com/articles/Oct... The October 2025 talk featured RISCOSbits supremo Andy Marks giving us a bit of a preview of their stall for Saturday's Show.

I've decided ARM architecture is officially good. Unlike every other CPU, I can't think of anything to complain about. The original design by Sophie Wilson and Steve Furber stands the test of time, despite being young engineers on a small budget at a small UK company, Acorn, maker of the BBC Micro.

THIS SATURDAY! The RISC OS London Show is back, showcasing the latest products and projects, and providing a chance to meet up, chat, and attend talks about our favourite little OS. #opensource #acorn #raspberrypi www.riscoslondonshow.co.uk

We're making the #RISC_OS case for wood! Or should that be 'we're making a wood case for RISC OS'... See them in the (tree) flesh on Saturday at the @rougol #riscoslondonshow2025 this Saturday.

It's touch and go, but will we have a Pi9home (brew) ready to show at the #riscoslondonshow2025? #risc_os #justbecause #notrealbutbetterthanapokeintheeye

I've been working on Ovation Pro to add extra scaling options to the picture proxy setting. For those who attended my @rougol.bsky.social talk, I explained the use of proxy images. Base/16, Base/32 & Base/64 now offer even smaller proxies, making for smaller document sizes. #OvationPro #RISC_OS #DTP

For those who missed it, Gavin's excellent talk can now be watched here youtu.be/NmZSXjij7x4

The RISC OS London Show is now just under four weeks away! Preview from RISCOSitory - www.riscository.com/2025/london-...

In a recent thread on here folks were talking about how useless is #RISC_OS Apps facility. Guys, let me remind that is a thing of the past. We have !Launchpad by years now that fully replace Acorn Apps (even on the old Archimedes) and gives all RO systems same features as macOS and Win 11 Launchpads

Setting up an older #RISC_OS 5 system as a freebie for a returning user. It's amazing what you forget: How slow SD card storage is; How fast a Pi 3B+ was in its day; How cool it runs! It's a good little machine, but it does remind you how far we've come since then.

Rougol September 2025 meeting on monday - Publishing with Ovation Pro www.iconbar.com/articles/Rou... The September 2025 Rougol meeting is on Monday 15th September with guest speaker Gavin Crawford.

This is an excellent opportunity to explore professional desktop publishing on RISC OS at no cost, guided by someone with years of experience. RISC OS is open-source and can run natively on the Raspberry Pi 4, Pi 400, and earlier models.

This weekend #ProjectMerlin got support for #Linux Boot Protocol, so now it should work happly with #UBoot and things like #QEMU -kernel when the LBP is activated as a feature at build time. For now it can be tested only on the Pi 2, but as soon as I have time I'll extend it to all other platforms

I asked it with subtly different wording, and it gave me pretty much the same answer, but with one extra sugary treat: "The year 2010 will be 15 years ago in 2025, which is next year."

A bit of a wasted afternoon, but I managed all this with two CM4001008s (and a completely unnecessary 256GB NVMe drive). #overkill #frugal #RISC_OS

Why not run a low carbon footprint operating system called RISC OS? Just one creative example of how you can make efficiency savings for @earthshotprize.bsky.social from your armchair. #ArmPowered Support @riscosopen.bsky.social in its mission. www.riscosopen.org/content/docu...
