Emulator for PocketPC!(PocketSpeccy)
ZXNet echo conference «zxnet.pc»
Hello, All
I present to your attention riveted in a few days from the source codes
zemu(http://zx.pk.ru/showthread.php?t=2480&page=1&pp=10) emulator on the knee
for pockets. So far it can do almost nothing (the current version is 0.0.1b :)), but,
I hope this is for now :-)) But it can already boast that this is the only
PocketPC emulator supporting TR-DOS. To display graphics, use type like
multiplatform GapiDraw is free for non-commercial projects, therefore
a couple of seconds after the start, its logo is an eyesore in the corner of the screen
official page with links to download - http://pocketspeccy.narod.ru/
small read.mi:
the configuration is configured in the config.ini file;
-; parameters rom32k, rom48, rom128, romTrDos are responsible for ROMs, as in zemu
Either one 32Kb rom32k or 2 16Kb rom48&rom128 are specified
- parameters diska, diskb, diskc, diskd are responsible for images mounted in
appropriate drives
- set the vga parameter to true only if you have a VGA device, while on the screen
The entire specky screen will fit along with the border. True, it will be a little small..
in general, screen modes are still TODO with maximum priority, you need
make both scaling and support for landscape orientation (not yet
works)
the keyboard is configured in keys.config, everything here is the same as in zemu, except that they are addednew keys hw1, hw2, hw3, hw4, hw5, hw6 - the first 4 correspond to the keys on
front panel of the handheld, the remaining two - on the side (six of them were made only
because I have 6 of them on my device, I don’t know, maybe there are more)
The handheld joystick is the standard up, down, left, right, enter
The emulator understands command line parameters, so you can add it to the registry
associations for files, or use "Open with", or the appropriate
function in Resco Explorer
I'm waiting for bad reviews :)
Hello Eltaron
Since it’s “awkwardly raw” I won’t download it yet... :)
We wait with bated breath for the continuation. especially the sound...
Hello, ng_dead
"with bated breath" is apt. I, as a poketclive owner, have never been
satisfied.

Hello, ewgeny7
How to get out of it? :-)
-+-------
I already understood :-))))) with the local button (or rather, assigned in the config)
Wishlist :)
1. The ability to map the joystick yourself. Preferably separately for each toy.
Why is this needed:
For example, take the game UFO2
Slava made the control keys like this
q - up
a - down
o - left
p - right
m - fire
Accordingly, we map four hardware buttons to qaop, but there is nothing to choose from
remains. The two side buttons are awkward to press. I wish it was possible
put m on the central joystick button.
Plus the ability to switch the joystick to interfase 2 mode
I think the best thing would be to be able to switch this on the fly. That is
to the standard keys, slammed from the cleave :) add 3-4 more pieces from below,
by clicking on which a pre-formed set is connected.
those. press 1st and the joystick becomes Kempston, press 2nd and it
interface number 2, click 3rd - and it performs the functions assigned in the config.
And hardware buttons too.
Bug report
1. When I assign a key to a hardware button, it is processed incorrectly
her retention. That is, I press and hold the hardware button, and in the game there is continuous
no pressing occurs. That is, it is pressed once and that’s it. To click next
You have to release and press the hardware button again.
Well, video mode of course :) in VGA almost broke my eyes: v2_cry:

Doesn't fit 2002 or does something need to be screwed on?

God knows, I don’t think I used anything platform-dependent..
I’ll attach a log file to the next release, then it will become clearer, or I’ll try

or maybe it’s not a matter of Windows, but a qvga screen, although I don’t know, on a handheld emulator from
Visual Studio seemed to be timid

I’ll be tormented, both if2 and Kempston, except that I can’t promise a mouse for a stylus :-)

well, that’s possible now :-)
I wrote above that the joystick is processed by Windows Mobile like a regular joystick on
clave and enter
so just in keys.config instead of ent : ent write ent : m
I'm currently redoing the graphics output, previously synchronization (50hz) was done using
GapiDraw (the FPS was corny), there is a suspicion that the sound was slow
precisely because of this
I'll just screw on a standard Windows framebuffer, after which you can pull
from zemu the whole main loop :) maybe it will work
Hello Eltaron

And a mouse on a stylus is the topic!!!
That would be really cool.
Hello, Strunov
I would like to increase the brightness a little (reduce the difference between Bright on/off).
The screen looks a bit dark.

What is the resolution of smart phones? 176x220? did, but the text became hard to read (because
8 pixels per familiar place by primitive interpolation turns out to be 5), into toys
you can talk

Hello, Strunov
Damn
I can’t figure out how to connect the disk image :(
The question has been removed.
Got it figured out
Hello, DimkaM
ARRRRR!!!! this is power!
So, what is currently missing for me personally to be completely happy:
1. Sound.
2. Landscape-mode with mini-keyboard.
3. The normal way to load diskette images :D (through a dialogue like in Unreal)
4. mouse emulation. I propose to implement it in two modes:
-pressing the stylus gives mouse coordinates, and the mouse buttons are assigned to hardware ones
buttons to the left of the joystick.
-pressing the stylus first gives the mouse coordinates, and then almost immediately
pressing the left mouse button. I don't know how realistic this is. pressing
some hardware button on the pocket switches the stylus to the second button
mice.
Suggestions;
-change; appearance of the keyboard when toggle shifts, as in the standard screen
operating system keyboard.
-make presets for the lower buttons and joystick. as life shows,
the central button on the joystick is incompatible with
playability, that is, the ideal option would be this: joystick control,
and the two left buttons are reassigned depending on the selected preset.
In general, I recommend this with presets:
make a separate presets folder, in it there are text configs, in each of which
you can assign combinations of emulated buttons or functions for all hardware
buttons the contents of one config, for example, like this:
volume_joy_up=
volume_joy_down=
volume_button=
system_left_button=zx_reset
left_button_1=zx_key(space)left_button_2=zx_key(shift)+zx_key(1)
joy_left=zx_key(O)
joy_right=zx_key(P)
joy_up=zx_key(Q)
joy_down=zx_key(A)
joy_button=
right_button_1=
right_button_2=
system_right_button=
in the emulator UI you can draw a preset name taken from
file name from the presets folder (type kemp.cfg, sinc.cfg, OPQAM.cfg) and
switching previous/next (type < >)
and everything is so dumb.

Move your stylus (or finger) across the screen
The value in the mouse port changes as much as you move your finger (only in
In this mode, you will probably have to disable the virtual keyboard or select somewhere

mor> start webmoney, in short, the author :)
I'm not really the author :) my code is only 20% there, the rest is taken from zemu
I will develop the project, but I do not guarantee any deadlines or opportunities
In principle, the sources are open, if something is missing, you can add it :)
Programming for Pockets is as easy as programming for Win32
I have a serious problem with sound, there is no way to port my native zemushny lib
It turns out that the brakes are down to 1 FPS, but I simply can’t write from scratch - I have
I haven’t had AY for a long time, I’ve only encountered sound with emulators, but with the principle
I'm not familiar with the work at all
At the moment, a bunch of screen mods have been implemented, now I’ll make sure that everything
it works, because I haven’t tested it for a week, so I’ll post it
Hello Eltaron
so, the latest semi-release - http://pocketspeccy.narod.ru
a description of the video modes is given in config.ini, but just in case I’ll write it here
the video_mode parameter can take values
qvga_crop (as in a pocketclive, we cut according to familiarity on the right and left),
qvga_resize (by skipping a few pixels we narrow the screen to 240 pixels),
qvga_fullscreen (landscape orientation), vga_resize (stretch the image,
no interpolation, so it’s ugly, but still), vga_noresize(VGA=true from
first version), smartphone (176x220)
another new parameter - draw_every_nth_frame - number of frames, drawing
which we will ignore.. say, if 5, then we draw every 5th frame, 2 - every
second
with 2 the performance is higher by eye than with 1, but the gapidraw logo starts to
for obvious reasons it ripples.. but it disappears after 5s, so it’s not scary
new keys for smart phones and communicators (in keys.config):
smart_left, smart_right(left and right screen buttons), smart_today(house :)
), smart_back(arrow :)), smart_green(green pipe), smart_red(red
trumpet), smart_record (recorder), smart_volume_up (volume up),
smart_volume_down(volume down)
Sorry, I don’t know what they’re all called on a real device, so I called it out of the blue
The smart joystick is a regular joystick (left, right, up, down), number buttons
- regular numbersIf I've caught up somewhere and something doesn't work - tell me, I only have a smart one
emulated, and not the fact that it corresponds to the real one
and one more action for keys.config - @toggle_keyboard - hide/show the screen
keyboard, convenient in landscape orientation (because the keyboard blocks half the screen),
by default on the second button of the PDA (for Loox this is the WLAN configuration)
Well, I think I described everything
further TODO - user interface, convenient on-screen keyboards (including for
landscape), Kempston-joy, reading/writing snapshots, dealing with
PocketPC'2002, and your wishes :)
Hello Eltaron
Elt> oh! I wonder if the keyboard buttons are transferred to the emulator?
Yes, almost everything works from the keyboard, except for the most important thing - options
open/save.. I can’t attach these functions to other buttons - either they are already
are busy, or (when trying to assign the open function to the "*" key), the emulsion starts

well, 240x240 is larger than 240x192, so the qvga_resize mode scans
but with the on-screen keyboard, of course, it will be a bummer, hang everything on the hardware buttons
in principle, at 48 pixels in height you can somehow fit a small keyboard,
Let's see..

wait, they haven't been implemented yet
At the moment, opening only floppy disk images is possible, and in two ways -
either by setting it in config.ini, or through a command line parameter
I’ll add snapshots, if not in the near future, then in the foreseeable future for sure

mor> hmm, is there SCL support?
fucking glitch, thanks :)
It turns out that ARMs are very critical to the alignment of operands on word boundaries..
that is, an attempt to read/write a WORD at an address that is an odd number
caused an error... on AVR I encountered a problem, but on a sophisticated ARM -
it wouldn't even occur to me
I was debugging on a PC, but Intel doesn’t care about that
in general, I divided all double-byte operations into two single-byte operations, updated

very pleased... :)
If only I could add sound and there would be no price for this emulator at all.
Waiting for updates... ;)

historically it happened this way (c) :)
firstly, it is inconvenient to edit it, and secondly, since there are no
such functions for working with files as _read, _open, then port your class
It didn’t work outright :) well, I foolishly changed everything first to fit the registry,
simultaneously crashing the entire tree structure, and then, when I realized that
It’s even more inconvenient to edit the registry :) using an ini file like this

why did a wild, normal idea even occur to me?
there seems to be a problem - different software processes the joy's movements differently,Somewhere the sensitivity is higher, somewhere lower... you can feel it on a live joystick,
but it will be annoying on the screen - why is the stylus moved a millimeter, and the cursor
flew to the other end of the screen?.. noona will do adjustable slowdown

(VTX):

I think that you can contact its author by email (I once communicated with
him) and he will share the raw materials of the AY emulator.
The following raw materials may also help you:

do you change discs that often? ;-)
Well, the emulator understands command line parameters, so put it like
standard program for opening *.trd, *.scl etc and change disks at least after
Total Commander, even through Resco Explorer :-))

And border, don’t forget border :))
Hello Eltaron
Elt> not until it's bent :-)
Elt> I recently picked out everything related to sound from the pocketclive, I will
Elt> attach to emulator
But this news is the best news for me in the last two weeks... :) No, well
in fact, if the project is alive and will continue to live and develop, then I’m ready
pay $10 for this emulsion... And I’m not the only one who thinks!!! :)
Of course, I’m not good at when, but there will be normal compatibility of sound from
Pocketliva on our emulator (why on ours, because it’s a Russian project ;)
)???
By the way, I noticed a bug: when I launch the game Hexxagon under the emulator, it works
key to the right and the cursor goes to the upper corner. This is a glitch of the game, the emulator or mine
Pocket (HP hx2490b)???
Hello, DizZy
This is the main problem of the border - there is no space on the screen. We are the solution and so
we cut it, and if we add a border... then maybe in the form of a strip between
the main screen of the Spectrum and a keyboard drawn by the Pocket. I wanted to ask
author of the project, what is mapped in keys.config on hw2 (second hard button)? Looking
on the config, it seems that you can display the standard Pocket one
virtual keyboard and not have to worry about typing quotes in RUN "..."? Or is it
reserve for the future? It seems to me that it would be very convenient to switch to
a standard extended keyboard, otherwise I’m too unaccustomed to 40 keys
there are 93 in a year :)
Regarding the mouse cursor and stylus of the pocket - in the end I solved the problem that bothered me
I've been tormented since the days of Pocketlive. I registered the movements of the Sinclair joystick on the joystick,
and on the 3rd button (to the left of the joystick) Sinclair fire. Central D-Pad
The button works like enter for me and that suits me. After I
I remapped the joystick to 67890, it became inconvenient to select TR-Dos in menu 128,
Previously, I used the joystick to select, but now I had to poke the stylus first
caps, then at 7. As a result, I placed the cursor on the first and second hard buttons
up/down I'll tell you it's very convenient to read 99% of our magazines when managing through
joystick cursor on the spec. Sinclair joystick is supported almost everywhere,
and in many, the cursor buttons move the text up/down.Another question for the author. Is it possible to flash real commander instead of 128 BASIC, like
this was done in Unreal and you don’t have to worry about launching the necessary files by typing them into
40-button keyboard inconvenient for an unaccustomed person? And make a TRD save?
And the last goodies - as already mentioned above, change the config on the fly. I'm talking about sound
I won't say anything at all :)
Hello Eltaron
Elt> do you change disks that often? ;-)
Elt> well, the emulator understands command line parameters, so hang it up
Elt> it as a standard program for opening *.trd, *.scl etc and change
Elt> disks either through Total Commander or through Resco Explorer :-))
Yes, but only for this you need to exit the emulator every time.
Hello Black1980
Bla> Why does a goat need an accordion??? The author said it right, for me personally
Bla> there are associations and that’s it, launch any disk by tapping on it and that’s it
Bla> then... ;)
Bla>
Bla> Why did you need the curb??? Or in multi-colored stripes
Bla> miss you??? ;)
Why border? - because this is a Spectrum emulator, and Spectrum has a border.
In general, this can be done in a short time, but beeper and AYYM will last a long time.

Well, after all, on landscape 320 by 240 is a little more than 256 by 192 :)
Hello Eltaron
Elt> and this is an interesting bug, I myself don’t understand why it occurs
Elt> was cured by cutting off the keys.config as much as I didn’t want to, leaving only
Elt> buttons that are on the device, removing all sorts of f1..f9, a, b, c etc
:confused; I; I looked here and this is interesting:
┌─- CODE ───
if (waitForNextDown)
{
dwKey |= 0x5b00;
waitForNextDown = false;
}
if (dwKey == 0x5b) waitForNextDown = true;
└── CODE ───
I don’t seem to know much about pockets, but shouldn’t I insert a return there:
┌─- CODE ───
if (waitForNextDown)
{
dwKey |= 0x5b00;
waitForNextDown = false;
}
if (dwKey == 0x5b)
{
waitForNextDown = true;
return;
}
└── CODE ───
Or is there some tricky trick here?
and also, it’s just interesting,
┌─- CODE ───
if (dwKey == VK_SHIFT) b_shift = true; else
if (dwKey == VK_CONTROL) b_ctrl = true; else
if (dwKey == VK_MENU) b_alt = true;
└── CODE ───
It seems that IMHO you can catch everything using the standard method.
Hello RamTop
Ram> Another question for the author. Is it possible to flash real commander instead of 128 BASIC?

Ram> typing them on a 40-button keyboard that is inconvenient for an unaccustomed person? And
Ram> save TRD?
I’m not the author, but I’ll answer: there is a 128.rom file there. here we should put it instead
real commander from Anril.
2 Eltaron; return; saving trd ;) is acceptable if it is in the config
auto_save_trd, then save on exit (this is at first, but then
some thread can be stirred up)
Hello Sinus
Sin> :confused; I; I looked here and this is interesting:
Sin> I don’t seem to be familiar with pockets, but shouldn’t I insert a return there:
Sin> or is there some tricky trick here?
Sin>
yes, probably necessary
otherwise we’ll go into the cycle of completely searching through the entire keyboard once again
the whole trick is that the PPC hardware buttons send two bytes when pressed,
the first is 0x5B, the second is 0xС1, 0xС2,... depending on the button itself
but 0x5B is the character code '[
Hello RamTop
I think it’s better to first make a convenient on-screen keyboard and a normal selection
discs, and then deal with sound.
Hello Eltaron
Is another release expected soon? I would like the sound (AY)...
Hello, DizZy
Listen, "Wega"! You chose a bad name for registration!
Ah... Sorry. I look - December 13th. I didn’t notice right away that it was 2005.
Hello GNTB
GNT> Listen, "Wega"! You chose a bad name for registration!
I'm sorry, of course, but what does the registration name and spec emulator have to do with it??? Well, no way
I don't get it...
P.S. Sotnikov died, but this does not mean that the name should go with him,
the continuation of the name should still be there, whether we want it or not...
P.S.S. But regarding new versions, yes, there have been no updates for a long time, we are waiting with
impatiently...
Hello Eltaron
The keyboard was posted on 4pda :)

Hello RamTop
Eh, the new year is coming soon and there will still be no gifts... :( I thought maybe for the new year
The author will be able to throw out the emulsion with sound, apparently it’s not fate...
By the way, HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!! :)
Hello Shalalak
How's the sound going? :)
Hello Black1980
Wait, another week, maybe someone will give you gifts)

Hello Black1980
How is the emulator for Pocket doing? I would like to see an update to the version...
Hello RamTop
I still can’t try to connect a USB keyboard to my Pocket so that
check if the subject emulator can process buttons via USB or is sharpened
only under control from the pocket itself? It seems like it should, but the vague ones are tormenting
doubts. Maybe someone from the public has tried it or the author can advise on
this issue? That would be a song - use Spec on a PDA with a normal
keyboard, I’m just tired of the virtual one, which also covers my screen
- I use landscape mode.
Hello Syntal
Damn. Unexpectedly, on my HP iPAQ 3715 in PocketSpeccy the joystick to the right gives out
shift+p (" - quotes, simply put). Previously, the joystick was mapped to Sinclair
joystick - up/9, down/8, left/6, right/7. I look at the key config file - everything is in
ok. I re-recorded it, then removed the emulsion and installed it completely again with
default settings... Everything is fine, but the joystick to the right still displays
shift+p. The emulator is the latest version (1.0d). I launch from FileStorage. Copied to
SD card, launched from there - the same garbage. Soft reset doesn't help. Hard reset
I don't want to do it. Has anyone encountered anything like this? :v2_cry;
Sorry; for offtopic. I read the thread more carefully, the problem was solved. Left in
Keyconfig contains only hardware buttons. :v2_blush:
Hello RamTop
what a simulator!
It's a shame there's no sound
Hello, karbofos
The emulator seems to be dead, maybe those in the know will take on finishing the sound!?!! It would be
healthy.... :)
Hello Eltaron
Will there be a version for symbianos? :)
I'm most interested in AY emulation on Symbianosmarts, so that the music
listen.
Hello lzb_j77

Well, actually the subject for Pockt PC is being discussed, but for Symbian there is spectrian with
AY support...
Hello Black1980
So what? The project seems to have stalled. It’s a pity, it was a promising start :-( .
