The Red Squirrel, Sciurus vulgaris leucourus, was once common throughout the British Isles, much like the Acorn Archimedes. It has now been mostly displaced by its more pushy North American cousin the Grey Squirrel, Sciurus carolinensis...

| 19/04/2003 | Suzi's Artclub has become so popular that The Gallery now has its own page which is accessed via the 'draw' icon. |
| 9/04/2003 | There have been some super new pictures sent in to Suzi's Artclub. Thanks to everyone who's sent them in. Suzi particularly commends the work of Anthony C Reid and Matthew Wilson. |

The site is no longer threatened with closure (for the time being).
Suzi has been innundated with 2 pictures for her artclub. The new artworks are of Smokey The Cat and Pod The Dog. Thanks to Mark (38) and Red (27.25) for ensuring the future of the site. |

There's a new picture in Suzi's ArtClub gallery sent in by Andrew aged 17.
The response to the ArtClub has so far been poor. If I dont get some more entries I might have to shut the whole website down - Suzi the webmaster. |

RedSquirrel 0.6 is now in the downloads section.
Apologies for the lack of updates on this site. Economic realities mean I have to concentrate on paid work. The ongoing success of Virtual Acorn will mean that new versions of RedSquirrel will continue to be released. Hopefully it wont be so long until the next version! Suzi has written a little paint applet accessed via the paint icon on the task bar. Please have a go with it and send your pictures in. If they're good enough they'll be displayed in the RedSquirrel Gallery for us all to admire. |
Red Squirrel has grown from my first attempt at emulating one of the early Arm2 based acorn machines written mainly to learn some win32/DirectX and partly for nostalgia.
This was going to be a pure Archimedes a440/1 (my first Acorn machine) emulator but I don't have specs on some of the older chips so I implemented a slow A5000. It has grown over the years to emulate all the way up to a StrongArm RiscPC albeit rather slowly. There is now a commercial version of RedSquirrel called VirtualAcorn which runs significantly faster due to it's JIT compiling Arm technology.
Red Squirrel has the following main features:
Note: To use the emulator you will need your own copies of the system roms. See the links page for how to obtain roms.
You can download the current version of the emulator from the download page
