XRoar is a Dragon/Tandy Coco emulator that runs on a wide variety of platforms. Due to hardware similarities, XRoar also emulates the Tandy Colour Computer (CoCo) models 1 & 2.
To start, user will need to acquire (and maybe build) the software and install it. Pre-built binary packages are available from the XRoar home page (http://www.6809.org.uk/dragon/xroar.shtml). If one is not available for your architecture, you will have to build from source. XRoar should build and run on any POSIX-like system for which SDL (http://www.libsdl.org/) is available.
