Can I ask a question?

ZXNet echo conference «zx.spectrum»

From Kostya Levichev To All 1 February 1998


Greetings, oh dear ├─ЄAll!!!╟─┤

I’m completely new here, so can I have a few Chaynikov questions?
Firstly, why is everyone so furiously using the Shalaev emulator, IMHO
ZX-JAM v 1.12 will be prettier?
And in connection with this, another question, how to translate $ something into .tap or .z80
or at worst .snp, otherwise he doesn’t understand .trd... :(

With great respect, Kostya Levichev

P.S. Once again I apologize if I said something incorrect... ;)

Hello, Kostya!

It’s quiet outside the window, and I’m sitting and writing a response to a letter written from Kostya Levichev to
All Sun Feb 01 1998 at 21:53...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That’s why they use Shalaevsky. :)


With all kinds of regards and wishes.

And the author doesn’t want to screw things up? It's really a nice thing - headless TAPs with modified loaders load. 8) Beauty. ;)

Ladies and gentlemen! Listen to the instructive story about Igor Gruzdev and Kostya
Levichev, who loved to talk about 'Can I ask a question?'! ;)

What kind of loaders are these... Let's see how he would load branded versions ;)
Like Atlandis ;) For starters: the picture is loaded without stripes, according to familiar locations, at the bottom
a running line, on the left is a logical game, IMHO... Moreover, the whole game consists of
hundreds of blocks 37 bytes long, which are loaded in a continuous stream one after another,
without a pause ;)

For such things you need X128: it works with trdos, and with tap, sna, z80, slt, tzx. Exactly emulates AY, Pent, Scorp, firm 48, firm 128, +2, +3, etc., multiface, Scorpio debugger, allows you to record snapshots, pictures in the form of pcx and
scr, blocks. Etc. ;))


With God's blessing, Sergei Novikov aka Spirit^dR^sNG

By the way, what is the latest version now? I have x128v08s - it emulates not bad, but
the lower part of the border is not supported, plus multiloaders do not work...

So 0.08, IMHO.

for Speaker?!

About the lower part curb - it’s simply not displayed on the screen. By the way,
it’s the same with the top part.

What do you mean by multiloaders? #3d13-, turbo, IM2-loaders? Everything
is perfectly supported, replace the trdos firmware with 5.04T from Shalaevsky.

SN> As for the lower part of the curb, it is simply not displayed on the screen.

Exactly. Because of this, Rage does not work (or rather, it works, but not correctly)

SN> What do you mean by multiloaders? #3d13-, turbo, IM2-loaders?
SN> Everything is perfectly supported, replace the trdos firmware with 5.04T from Shalaevsky.

We have to try... Otherwise, when I tried to render, it froze.
