Beebem, the BBC micro emulator

This is certainly one of the better BBC micro emulators. The BBC (Acorn) computers were really something. I found a great tutorial at muffin research, and the steps below are copied from there.

# Install the dependencies
sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev libgtk2.0-dev build-essential

# create a directory
mkdir beebem && cd beebem

# Get the source files and patches
wget http://beebem-unix.bbcmicro.com/download/beebem-0.0.13{.tar.gz,_64bit.patch,-keys.patch,_menu_crash.patch}

# Unpack the main source-code
tar -xzf beebem-0.0.13.tar.gz

# patch the source-code
for file in *.patch; do patch -p0 < $file; done

# Change directory into the source-code directory
cd beebem-0.0.13/

# build it
./configure --enable-econet
make
sudo make install-strip

#Run beebem /path/to/file

F12 will pop up an interface to change disks.
