## Historique du projet et usages

XRoar is Ciaran Anscomb's emulator for Dragon 32/64, Tandy Color Computer models 1, 2, and 3, the Tandy MC-10, and related 6809-family machines. Its package identity is preservation-oriented: the executable is useful only when paired with legally obtained ROM images, disk or cassette media, and configuration describing the target machine.

### Historique du projet

The public source history identifies XRoar as a long-running emulator project by Ciaran Anscomb, with copyright beginning in 2003 in mirrored README metadata and current official documentation for version 1.11. The project started around Dragon and CoCo 1/2 compatibility and grew into a broader emulator for close relatives built around Motorola 6809-era hardware.

By the 1.x series, the official manual describes emulation of Dragon 32, Dragon 64, Dragon 200-E, Tandy CoCo 1/2/3, Tandy MC-10, Matra and Hachette Alice 4K, prototype machines, disk-controller cartridges, sound cartridges, memory expansions, cassette formats, joysticks, printers, and video modes.

### Historique d'adoption

XRoar's adoption is concentrated in retrocomputing and preservation communities rather than mainstream software development. Its official site links Debian snapshot builds, an Ubuntu PPA, Mac OS X binaries, Windows archives and installers, an online version, and archives where users may find firmware dumps if they cannot extract ROMs from physical machines.

The addition of CoCo 3 and MC-10 support made the package more than a Dragon emulator: it became a cross-platform way to run, test, and preserve software across a family of machines with overlapping but distinct hardware behavior.

### Modes d'utilisation

Users install XRoar, provide firmware ROMs in platform-specific directories such as `~/.xroar/roms`, `~/Library/XRoar/roms`, or `%LOCALAPPDATA%\XRoar\roms`, then select a machine and load cassette, disk, ROM cartridge, BASIC, HEX, or S-record media.

The command line and configuration file are central to package use. Options can select machines, cartridges, video output, keyboard layout, disk behavior, joysticks, and tracing; the same options can be stored in `xroar.conf` for repeatable emulation setups.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

XRoar is a good package-nerd case because the package is only the emulator core. The useful system is assembled from executable, ROM search paths, media images, configuration, and sometimes platform-specific GUI integration.

It also shows why old-computer emulators stay valuable in package managers: they preserve runnable environments for software that no longer has current hardware, and they make regression testing and historical exploration scriptable from modern Unix shells.

### Chronologie

- 2003: Public copyright metadata in source mirrors places the project at the start of a long-running XRoar codebase.
- 2010s: XRoar packages and ports spread across Unix-like systems, Windows, Mac OS X, and older contributed mobile/Amiga-style ports.
- 2021: Community discussion notes newer support for Tandy CoCo 3 and MC-10 alongside Dragon and CoCo 1/2 emulation.
- 2026-05-12: The official site lists source version 1.11.
- 2026: The manual for version 1.11 documents Dragon, CoCo, MC-10, Alice, cartridge, disk, cassette, and video emulation.
