Spectrum Computing

Hi! I have uploaded a new ZEsarUX stable version 9.2! You can download it from the releases page: https://github.com/chernandezba/zesarux/releases/tag/9.2 There are compiled versions for Linux, Mac, Windows and FreeBSD. The source code is available (as always) Changes in this version: Version 9.2 - ...

Both RVM and ZEsarUX emulate the zxuno the same way: only the Spectrum core is emulated. Otherwise, we would have to emulate the full FPGA, which is completely beyond my goals

Hi! I have uploaded a new ZEsarUX Release Candidate version 9.2. The final stable version will come in a few weeks, so stay tuned! You can download it from: https://github.com/chernandezba/zesarux/releases/tag/9.2-11032021 There are compiled versions for Linux, FreeBSD, Mac and Windows. The source c...

Well the UI has been improved a lot. See for example: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chernandezba/zesarux/master/screenshots/screenshot_zxdesktop_buttons.png Don't get me wrong, @chernandezba., I like it a lot. I know :) I was just showing to people that a lot of work has been done to improve th...

I've never tried ZEsarUX, I'll give it a go, thanks! It's got a very different UI to what you may be used to and you have to invest some time with it, but @chernandezba has written some excellent help screens and it's very powerful. Stick with it. Well the UI has been improved a lot. See for exampl...

Anecdotal I know, but I believe it to be true and not a story.

It's a small world!

Yes, I know it’s true, when I said a “story” I meant a real fact, not invented. My written English is not as good as I thought, and that word it’s maybe a literal translation from Spanish

Cheers

Hi there I've just discovered a very curious story from years ago that I would like to share with you... If you remember the great Spectrum emulator by Gerton Lunter (called "Z80"), maybe you also remember it had something called "SamRam interface". Well, this interface was a rea...

You’re welcome
I’m glad you like it

Oh I see

But if he has downloaded the binary version, all the commands he tried (configure, make) have failed (because they don’t exist in the compiled version)

Thanks Peter for mentioning me :) As you see, ZEsarUX has some video drivers that are text based (curses, stdout, etc) and some others that are “pixel” based (sdl1.2, sdl2, xorg, cocoa...). No matter what operating system you use, if all compiled well, you should have a full “pixel” based video inte...

Can't make XBox One controller or my arcade Hori Fighting Stick Mini 4 work: only buttons do work but directions are ignored... :( Windows 10 20H2 SDL Go to settings->hardware->real joystick support Try first joystick information and press directions. Are these directions shown on the window? If th...

Hey! Great news! The Dacia Sandero... Sandero? Really? Are you trying to compare ZEsarUX with the ugliest car in the world? I mean, I've given ZEsarUX 9.1 a shot and the QL emulation does seem to be getting there - though my main gripe is now that the "Setting mode 412x256" splash screen ...

Hi You need to set machine Spectrum +3, go to storage- +3 disk menu. Select the dsk file , enable dsk emulation, enable plus3dostraps and pd765 But this +3 disk emulation is in beta stage, only programs that use standard rom calls to access the disk will work (I hope), but not anyone that use direct...

New ZEsarUX stable version 9.1 🙂 You will find, as always, compiled versions for Linux, FreeBSD, Mac and Windows. The source code is available, as always. Remember ZEsarUX is open source software, licensed on GNU GPL, and no cost! This new version comes with QL and TBBlue (Spectrum Next) fixes, impr...

Welcome. I'm sure @chernandezba will come back to you. Thanks Peter for telling me :) Sadly this is a quick answer: No, you can't use two joysticks at the same time. ZEsarUX will only recognize one of them. There need to be done lots of changes: joystick driver changes, emulation core, etc... so it...

By the way, compare the colours in this demo running on ZEsarUX with the others you tested... I think all emulators except ZEsarUX and Spin have the wrong colour values...

According to Andrew Owen, one of the ULAPlus creators, ZEsarUX followed the ULAPlus standard perfectly

ZEsarUX-9.1 Beta 1 - Result - Failed Load it as a Real Tape, not a standard tape: https://i.postimg.cc/mhGrynR2/Captura-de-pantalla-2020-11-18-a-las-20-23-21.png https://i.postimg.cc/TKW8SRJ8/Captura-de-pantalla-2020-11-18-a-las-20-26-22.png ZEsarUX uses by default fast ("standard") tape ...

@chernandezba, Do you know how you configure the ZX-EVO in Unreal? I'm assuming its called ATM-Turbo 3? This is as far as I have got: https://i.ibb.co/Dg1ythJ/Capture.png I don't remember it now. I tried ZXEvo TSConf on Unreal some time ago, but I run it from Wine on Mac (and I don't have Wine now)...

Unreal emulator also emulates ZX Evo: https://github.com/tslabs/zx-evo/tree/master/pentevo/unreal/Unreal Notice that ZX Evolution (or just ZX Evo) is the machine, but there are two main configurations for this machine: TSConf and BaseConf. You can choose to boot one or the other, as ZX Evo has somet...

Thanks for the post Peter :) Yes, I have been working hard on fixing lots of issues on QL emulation, mostly with QDOS file handling. Keep in mind I don't emulate microdrive using .mdv files, but I handle all microdrive and floppy access using files from your computer. So now you can load any Super B...

Thank you for a great emulator, @chernandezba. It's great there is an option to Redefine keys - probably the only emulator with such capability, which si super handy for games with silly key bindings. I could not remap special keys though, only digits and letters. Is there any way to do it? Thank y...

Thanks @chernandezba Also is the user able to add their own machine ROMS like in OpenMSX? Cheers for the post-lockdown gift! Machine selection menu has a "custom machine" setting where you can change the default rom for a machine, but it's not ready for MSX yet. You can simply replace fil...

Just do a telnet 127.0.0.1 10000

And run "help" command

There are some simple commands and other more complex, but I think using the help will be enough for beginning

OK. Thanks @chernandezba, It's unfortunate but it's unusable for loading games without the double quotes. I should have made time to test the beta versions. Still a great achievement though. Thank you. Well there are a lot of MSX games in cartridge format, so you don't need to BLOAD "" ;)

Thanks @chernandezba On MSX Emulation how to you get the double quote ("), Semi-Colon and Colon. They keys I'm expecting don't seem to be working? Also is the user able to add their own machine ROMS like in OpenMSX? Cheers for the post-lockdown gift! Seems to be a issue with the Windows driver...
