Yes, thanks to your detective work I managed to find the latest version
of it :-)

Here's the source code to Angband 3.0.9, which is the last version
officially to support RISC OS:

https://web.archive.org/web/20200221040230/http://rephial.org/downloads/3.0/angband-3.0.9-src.tar.gz


The Angband community has actually been pretty good at preserving old
material - here's the source for OAngband 0.7.0 (the last version ported
to RISC OS) and many other versions:
http://www.zaimoni.com/zaiband/Angband.ref/OAngband/


Here's the source to Quickband 1.0.5, and later versions :
http://angband.oook.cz/variants.php?variant=quick


Here's the source to Steamband 0.4.1:

http://angband.oook.cz/steamband/Steamband-041f-SRC.zip


Here's the source to old versions of Unangband, if you can work around
SourceForge download issues:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/unangband.berlios/files/


Here's the source to Zangband 2.7.3:

https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/zangband/zangband-src/2.7.3/zangband-2.7.3.tar.gz


And most of the rest are probably still around on the zaimoni.com
snapshot, if nowhere else....

If you're emulating a RiscPC environment, I assume it should be fine.

It is - or at least, it was.

Apparently there was a massive wave of variants at the time of the
release of Angband 2.9.3, which made the game far more easy to customise
- looking at the list of variants on angband.oook.cz, I don't think many
of them continued being developed for very long!
