ZX Emulator 0.30b Bags

ZXNet echo conference «zx.spectrum»

From Vitaly Samoylov To All 16 December 1997


Greetings, Vladimir!

First of all, I want to say that the sound has become much better, FDI support is absolutely great!
Secondly, a bunch of glitches have been discovered!

1. At the first start (without ".ini") it freezes when defining the SB interrupt,
there is _5_, but for me it is _7_! It would be possible to check the variable "BLASTER"
parameter "Ix", where x is the interrupt number.
2. When the key is assigned as "ScreenDump",
works crookedly, that is, when you press any of the arrows,
"ScreenDump" is triggered, so I had to set "ScreenDump" to !
3. No error handling! For example: if you specify the name of a non
file on the command line, the emulus either freezes or displays a bunch of
nonsense on the screen.

───────────< Begin File: "ZX_EMUL.TXT" >───────────
The emulator supports setting parameters via the command line. You can
specify just one parameter - the file name, but its type can be different; the emulator recognizes this
type itself. Supported file types:
*.TRD - the disk image file replaces the disk in drive A;
*.FDI - the same;
*.Z80 - the snapshot file will be loaded at startup;
*.SNA - the same;
*.SCR - the screen dump will be loaded into memory and the emulator will enter standby mode;
*.INI - use an alternative fileconfiguration.
It is very convenient to install these extensions to automatically call the emulator.
───────────< End File: "ZX_EMUL.TXT" >───────────
4. The emulsion hangs by name without type!
5. Sometimes there are glitches with FDI, until I figured out where it came from.


Wishes: Make support in Kbd, this is for Is-Dos (stop).
Well, and everything else!

All the best. /──────────────────────\ [ Fantasy World - Rulez ]

like speed. This is perhaps the most important thing.
A GUI is needed. For this, I suggest using Whatcom C, in protected mode
(pmode).

The ability to skip frames is necessary, then on weak machines (like
my 586-133 24m) you can have fun, and not think about where on
the x128 drive :) (coming soon FDI support for x128 !)

Hello, Vitaly!

It was like this: Vitaly Samoylov 16 Dec 97 at 02:11 was making speeches to Vladimir.
Well, I wrote it.

Well, let’s say, not so much.
But I already got it, although now I’m jellying. :(

That's for me already it occurred to us, let's do it
