The Family Emulator

Dive into a living archive of the BBC Micro, where you can relive 60+ iconic games or craft your own BBC Basic/6502 assembly projects—all from within one emulator.
Import any BBC Micro disk image you find online and save your own code to the emulated disk, turning the emulator into a portable development environment.

How to Play The Family Emulator

• Launch the emulator and load its built‑in library of over 60 BBC Micro games.
• Import external disk images via the RokCoder link to play any classic title.
• Switch between shooting, platforming, puzzle, and simulation games without leaving the application.
• Inside the emulator, write and execute BBC Basic or 6502 assembly code, then save the program to a virtual disk for later use.
• Observe that every game behaves like the original hardware, so timing and controls are authentic.

Controls

The game features smooth and intuitive controls. The specific control scheme is displayed at the start of the game for the best experience.

Tips for The Family Emulator

• Use the built‑in menu to rapidly toggle between the pre‑packaged games, minimizing restart time.
• Take advantage of the save‑disk function to store your BBC Basic or assembly projects right inside the virtual system.
• When importing disk images, double‑check the file extension (.dsk or .bzx) to avoid load errors.
• Remember that the emulator recreates the BBC Micro’s hardware timing; slow down initially on fast‑action games to learn their controls.
