BeebIt will only run under the RISC OS operating system. It is compatible with the StrongARM processor, the Iyonix, A9home and Raspberry Pi computers.
There are two versions of BeebIt. BeebIt is maintained by myself and BeebItJ is maintained by James Lampard.
Please read the notes about each version to decide which one suits you the best.

New version of ZeriBeep, which works with Speech! and now has just 1 version for 26bit/32bit platforms.
Some error messages strings are now translated through the Messages file.

If on entering emulation boot fails (ie corrupt MOS rom image) then BeebIt will return to the desktop with an error.
On RISC OS 6 now uses BeebIt's own mode 7 emulation, rather than that provided by the VideoTTX module.
