Do NOT put RISC OS 5 on a RiscPC! It was never designed for it and will create massive software and hardware incompatibilities.
RO6 is the most advanced version you can put on there, but it came along very late in the RiscPC's life so was never well supported.
So practically RO4 is the best version to have, with 4.39 being the last of those with the most features.
Ironically, if you want to run old games, the best option is a Raspberry Pi with RO5.28 using ADFFS. The Pi's ability to scale any old screen mode to work on modern HDMI monitors takes away a lot of issues.
