Project Oberon RISC Emulator
This is an emulator for the Project Oberon (Revised Edition 2013) RISC5 processor, written in the Go programming language. It is a port of Peter De Wachter's emulator from C to Go.
Project Oberon is a design for a complete desktop computer system from scratch by Niklaus Wirth and Jürg Gutknecht. It comprises a RISC CPU, a programming language and an operating system.
Install
$ go install github.com/fzipp/oberon/cmd/oberon-emu@latest
Run
First download an Oberon disk image (.dsk file), e.g. from this repository.
Then start the emulator with the disk image file as command line argument:
$ oberon-emu Oberon-2020-08-18.dsk

This is the Project Oberon user interface directly after start:
Using Oberon
How to use the Oberon System (PDF)
Oberon's user interface is designed for use with a three-button mouse, but the emulator additionally allows to simulate all three mouse buttons via the keyboard.
| Mouse button | Function | Mac keyboard | PC keyboard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Left | Set caret (cursor) | ⌃ control | Ctrl |
