Any games you can't get to work? E-mail me at archifishal@altavista.net.
SA compatible music modules first. These may require modifications to the !Run files of games, also note that they are included in some of the patches below - they are just available here so that they can easily be added to games that aren't listed below:
These patches are used entirely at your own risk, I accept no responsibility for any loss of data due to the use of the patches. On the whole, they have been well tested, but there may be a few problems that have slipped through. If you find that a patch doesn't work for you, please let me know. Or if you find a game which doesn't work on the Risc PC, and are prepared to e-mail me it, please also let me know - although mail me before sending me the actual code.
Some of the games below that can be coaxed to work may have proper patches written for them at some point.
