Playing BBC Master Elite on the BBC Micro B+

How to download and play BBC Master Elite on the BBC Micro B+

The Cougar in the BBC Master version of Elite

There is only one way to play BBC Master Elite on the BBC Micro B+, and that is to download a disc image. Sadly none of the web-based emulators emulate the B+, so you'll either have to install an emulator on a modern machine, or load the disc image into a real B+. Here's the link:

  • Download the BBC Micro B+ version of BBC Master Elite as a disc image. This will run in an emulator, or on a real BBC Micro B+ or B+128 using a device like a Gotek.

To load BBC Master Elite on a BBC Micro B+, simply insert the disc image and press SHIFT-D-BREAK (for DFS), SHIFT-M-BREAK (for MMFS), SHIFT-S-BREAK (for Micro SPI) or use the *DBOOT command (for all SD card solutions); emulators tend to map BREAK to F12, so press SHIFT-D-F12.
