PS3roar's user interface is based around SDL. The emulator video output window is shown, and all operations are performed with keyboard combinations, usually accessed as Control+KEY. The following are the keyboard combinations for the functions listed:
Loading Files
System Control Keys
Emulation Configuration Keys
Loading Files
- Control+I - Insert a ROM cartridge.
- Control+Shift+I - Insert a ROM cartridge, no autorun.
- Control+L - Load a cassette file.
- Control+Shift+L - Load a cassette file and attempt to autorun it where appropriate.
- Control+W - Attach a virtual cassette file for writing.
- Control+[1-4] - Insert a virtual disk into drive 1-4.
- Control+Shift+[1-4] - Insert a blank virtual disk (40TSS) into drive 1-4.
- Control+[5-8] - Toggle write enable on disk in drive 1-4.
- Control+Shift+[5-8] - Toggle write back on disk in drive 1-4.
- Control+S - Save a snapshot.
- Control+Shift+S - Load a snapshot.
- Control+R - Soft reset emulated machine.
- Control+Shift+R - Hard reset emulated machine.
- Control+C - Quit emulator (Power Off).
- Control+K - Toggle between Dragon and CoCo keyboard layout. See Keyboard.
- Control+A - Cycle through cross-colour video modes (hi-res only).
- Control+M - Cycle through emulated machine types (resets machine).
- Control+E - Toggle DOS emulation on/off - reset to take effect.
- Control+J - Cycle through joystick emulation modes (None, Left, Right).
- Control+Shift+J - Swap joystick mapping (left/right).
- Control+Z - Enable keyboard translation mode.
- Control+F - Switch from and back to Full screen mode.
- F12 - While held, the emulator will run at the maximum possible speed.
- Control+U - Create and copy from folders on USB for ROMS, CAS, DSK, BIOS, etc.
The emulator is distributed with some software for the Color Computer II, it is distributed with:
To find other ROMS, and to find BIOS files; search google for the phrase, they are REQUIRED to get the emulator working:
PS3Roar creates a folder structure on a USB drive that does not already contain a "PS3Roar" directory, the structure is:
These folders correspond to the folders in the installed PS3roar directory on the HDD. Placing fikles on the USB Stick, then anagin inserting into the PS3 and pressing CONTROL+U once more will copy the files to the PS3. Once copied, the USB stick can be removed.
Note: files are NEVER loaded from USB, they must be on the internal HDD in the proper location. The CONTROL+U functionality makes this easy and removes the need to FTP files to the PS3.

- - You will need to unzip the rom files. They need to be .rom files, the emulator doesn't deal with .zips
- - You will need to get your own roms and (for now) place them in /dev_hdd0/game/PS3Roar00/USRDIR/ROMS/ to get the emulator "operational"
BIOS for PS3Roar:
- CoCo2-BIOS
- CoCo-BIOS
- Dragon32-BIOS
- Dragon64-BIOS
CrashSerious says:
When you install this, you will get a orange and black checker board pattern on the screen. This is because teh BIOS for the system you want to emulate isn’t in the pkg.
You can insert a USB Pen drive into the PS3 and press Control+U and the needed folder structure will be created for you on the Pen drive.
Place the BIOS files in the /PS3Roar/BIOS folder and you will then insert it back into the PS3 and press Control+U again to copy the files to the PS3.
Exit the emulator and reload it and you should be in business. Because of the original license I could not distribute the BIOS roms with the pkg. (Sorry) No doubt some person will create easy to use zip/rar’s to extract to the root of the pen drive to help make this much easier for you.
