sz81 emulator

[GCHarder]

The sz81 is a nice emulator. If you haven't checked it out recently you might want to here...

Besides the standard ZX81 (sz81), it now has support for Chroma, ZXPand (sz81p) and ZX81NU (sz81n), I don't know what sz81m does.

It's AY emulation is also very good.

Is there a manual somewhere for ZX81NU?

I've been using this for a while now since Erik kindly adapted it to work with Andy's AY tracker and STC player software(other emulators can't handle it graphics wise nor read the extensions this software uses other than "P" files I know Eighty One can run the software but the AY implementation is borked ).

One thing to note is to have the the "unreal" box checked in the options menu other wise the whilst the AY tones will sound ok the envelope generator will sound harsher than it should, or at least it does for me.

Acording to the manual, I think it's ZXmore.

Hi,

The sZ81 for Windows 32/64 don't support this feature.

I had to plan to update it !

The ZXMore version doesn't work because the file "ZXM-data.bin" is missing from the archive.

It may be found in the zip here:

Thanks, that worked.

FYI, anyone using the ZXMore version, you have to change to UDG mode in the tools options before loading it.

A nice emulator. I've just installed it on my old PC running Ubuntu. Loads quick and runs really smoothly. I really appreciate the work the guys put into these things.

It seems the macOS download only includes the standard version.

Could you kindly include the ZXpand and ZXmore version with the macOS package as well?

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with macOS Apps and Frameworks, but the following steps might help to create an executable that may be started from a terminal.

• get and untar SDL-1.2.15.tar.gz (from https://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php) and sz81-<x.y.z>.tar.gz
• type "gcc" in the terminal to check or install the compiler

• Code: Select all

  cd SDL-1.2.15
  ./configure --prefix=<install path of your choice> --enable-video-x11=no
  nano src/video/quartz/SDL_QuartzVideo.h
  

• delete the following line:

  Code: Select all

      CGDirectPaletteRef palette;            /* palette of an 8-bit display */
  

• Code: Select all

  make
  make install
  cd <the install path of your choice>/include/SDL
  ln -s . SDL
  cd
  export PATH=<the install path of your choice>/bin:$PATH
  cd sz81-<x.y.z>
  nano Makefile
  

• add desired options to CFLAGS
• remove "-lrt" in the following line:

  Code: Select all

  LIBS=`$(SDL_CONFIG) --libs` -lrt -Lsndrender -lsndrender -Lzxpand -lzxpand
  

• Code: Select all

  make
  ./sz81
