This page of the site provides a number of useful functions. Firstly, it showcases some of the utilities that have been written for emulating the Acorn Electron on your PC. Secondly, it provides links to all of the other Acorn Electron sites that we recommend. The utilities have been around for some years, and EUG wrote a series of articles that introduced emulation which are still very valid.

We are assuming (perhaps inevitably) that the vast majority of our viewers will be Windows PC users. If you are using an Acorn machine, then it is possible to play Acorn Electron discs on the RISC OS to read about emulation in general.
