Re: ZEsarUX 10.3

@chernandezba These days, I've been testing a lot of heavily protected +3 games and when I saw this announcement, I couldn't resist trying it too. Virtually all emulators that support the +3 model work fine with unprotected games and with them the overall stats look pretty good. I narrowed down the...

Re: ZEsarUX 10.3

After a long time, I have tested this version, mainly because of the +3 fdc emulation, but this claim is still too ambitious. Almost all protected games which I tried, do not load at all, saving with copy programs doesnt work, similar to SpecEmu and other emulators, which are based on Woody's fdc76...

Re: ZEsarUX 10.3 Beta

Maybe because I will try to implement some features for my own? :) I think about font extractor, something like already done in javascript, but more sophisticated: Nice! You can use the Debug->View Sprites window on ZEsarUX, and use the key S to save sprites/charset About that error when compiling,...

They are complex and couldn’t afford it on 10.2. But it will be added on next 10.3. The good news is th...

Re: Unsupported? .Z80 file header values

Besides that i view the Z80 export as 'conformant'. The header extension length is correct, it's just not a match to any version produced by the original Z80 emulator. From what i understood at that time, other values would be perfectly legal. Btw. at that time i wanted to barter some extensions to...

Re: Screenshot from ZEsarUX emulator?

Tried myself. Pressing F3 for Pause once is working (and another key to resume from Pause). But there seems a problem with pressing F3 key multiple times: This seems to hang ZEsarUX completely. @chernandezba could you please have a look? Luzie I've tried that and pressing the F-pause key again just...

Re: Unsupported? .Z80 file header values

i wonder what emu/tool produced that file. yes, it looks sane, and simply omits some info almost nobody is using anyway. but as Z80 has no signature, accepting all "sane" header sizes doesn't look ok for me, it is better to fix the tool. Yes, fixing the tool seems logic. It's an AGD game ...

Re: Unsupported? .Z80 file header values

Any idea what is in the extra 8bytes? I have seen custom z80 snapshot formats before like with the z80stealth emulator but it didn't load so can't be that. I also thought it might be SAMRAM but that should follow the standard format. Sorry I'm no help :-) Looking at these 8 bytes: 4F 08 01 00 00 00...
