Thank you. I am not quite sure how I got this working as it was quite clear which one to select or if I needed to download an os rom file (which I eventually tried too). I kept playing around with the firmware and CPU settings and eventually I got it to work, but then the keyboard layout was kind of screwy:
Reg
+ South
- North
W Wear
R Rob
T Take
U Unlock
I Inventory
A Arm
S Speak
D Dismount
F Fight
G Game Speed
H Hold
K Kill Self
X Location
C Climb
V Leave Town
B Board
M Magic
Numeric
+ West
* East
That was as far as I got when trying to figure it out. I'd share the settings I used, but now when I start up Altirra64 3.1 I am getting a boot error, so I probably have more stuff to figure out before I start dispensing advice haha. Thanks from a former Ontario resident myself now in North Carolina
