RISC World

Desktop Hacker

Foundation RISCWorld

Desktop Hacker version 1.21

The copy of Desktop Hacker included with this issue of Foundation RISCWorld was the final release version and is fully StrongARM and RISC OS 4 compatible. It was originally published some time ago in RISC User magazine and since then has been difficult to get hold of, even CJE Micros don't seem to have any copies in stock. As such we are delighted to be including a full copy of Desktop Hacker for all our subscribers. We have taken the opportunity to improve the design and layout of the manual. If you are interested in gaming on RISC OS then you should start reading straight away...

Please note that Desktop Hacker is supplied as a single user version and is only for the use of Foundation RISCWorld subscriber.
