Here are Kekoa Proudfoot's instructions on how to get a ROM image:

And some explanations/descriptions of various stuff (i don't understand
it) can be found on Kekoa's RCX Internals page:

Actually, not really - if it is a true simulator, then all that will be
needed is a ROM
dump of the RCX. Then all that is required is a emulator with the Hitachi
chip, you'd be using
the LEGO codebase itself. Making it much more reliable too!

The only catch obviously, is getting the ROM dump. Even if YOU could get
one, you wouldn't be allowed to distribute it (well, you might, if LEGO was
reaaaaaaaaaally nice). So it'd have to be a method that everyone would be
able to use.

Ah, I've just read the part about David Edwards' stuff - that is probably
what you'd want to do then. Don't be too scared about starting Stef, often
emulating a system isn't all that hard. I've done a limited emulator with a
ZiLOG Z80 processor (used the TI graphing calculators).

Well, my 2 cents.

James.
