Hello, Titus
ZEmu / Linux ;)
Hello, boo_boo
boo> well, the list definitely lacks the “your own” option
boo> :rolleyes:
You can mark your own in the 'other' section :cool:
Moreover, few craftsmen wrote 'their own' ;)
Hello Sinus
Sin> ZEmu / Linux ;)
well, the list is definitely missing the “your own” option :rolleyes:
Hello Titus
Previously used by many, something was missing in Unreal, now everything is there - for everyone
thank you - everyone is happy :eek: just kidding! there's just no point in using it though
Who cares, of course, maybe someone is used to others... :o
Hello, breeze
I generally use three, it’s convenient to work in Unreal, I write disks in Real, and
EmuZWin for saving in tap format because... not one of the above
can't do it... :)
Hello, Vladimir Kladov
I use EMUL Z WIN 2.5 because:
- everything works in it and I figured out the buttons.
- it also has a lot of different settings;
- clear! image;
- everything loads quickly and it loads quickly;
- convenient to work with archives and all that;
- there is an acceleration mode to quickly skip uninteresting parts of the demos;
- I learned in it to convert buggy FDI to non-buggy SCL easily and without
forced.
The new EMUL Z WIN 2.7 is buggy in computer selection mode. TR DOS disappears somewhere
constantly, in general the old one is more reliable.
I don’t really like SPECULATOR because:
1. there is some kind of cloudy screen in it and, moreover, rounded at the edges; :v2_blink:
2. and the most important thing against it is its (emulator) long loading time: v2_crazy:
3. it is foreign, and therefore enemy by definition, must be supported
domestic manufacturer.
Glory to EMUL Z WIN 2.5!!! :v2_clapp:
UNREAL I tried it, but I couldn’t figure it out with the buttons.
Hello Black1980
yeah, the most convenient. If only you do something in Unreal at all. Then no longer
It will take you a long time to remember what to click. I don't mind No GUI. MUST BE like this
emulsion Lots of advantages: don’t bother with just Windows, it’s easier to port later
where else, it’s easy to add something, in general you can pay more attention
functionality, not appearance. (By the way, you don’t need to think about the resize -
also a plus). But even Norton Commander had hints. Kind of like a text menu.
Hello Titus
And I don’t “use” any of them, but since I’m developing my own, I noted those 4
(more precisely, the 5th one had to be marked “other” - the list is not complete), which I “use” in
development process: Unreal, Real, Spectaculator. I also “use” EmuZWin -
for its own development. And also Spin. It’s a shame it’s not included in the list. By the way, I'm here
they sent me that my Z is also used under DOS :)
Hello, alexeenko
nothing goes missing. TR-DOS, I mean. No, well, if you choose Spectrum128,
or +3 of some kind, then yes. It has its own disk system +3 (I don’t have it implemented
for now). Or are you talking about that glitch with the loss of TR-DOS in the menu? It's been fixed a long time ago
it was.
Hello, alexeenko
ale> UNREAL I tried, but I couldn’t figure out something with the buttons.
By the way, Ureal has the most convenient keyboard, in terms of control and input
teams... :)
Hello Titus
> But even Norton Commander had hints
for which the first thing I learned was the button (Ctrl-B), how to disable them
Hello, Vladimir Kladov
Vla> But even Norton Commander had hints. Kind of like a text menu.
There is HELP there, it is called by F1... But what for these tips and help!!! No,
Well, I agree, this is the first time a person has encountered an emulsion and he just needs
you need to look at this help... Well, once, well, twice, well, at worst, three...
There’s no need for more, and if the memory is short, then why sit down for it, let it be
puts it dandy and go ahead, no need to think there... :)
Hello Black1980
and I’ll run it a couple of times a month, according to my needs, and next time again as in
first class. And by the way, you often come across such users. Not fans. They are once a month
run the emulsion to drive a couple of any toys, what's the rest for this?
Keep everything in your head for a month. In general, tips on the curb are similar to Dos
navigator - people would be happy. (In English, of course, and with abbreviations).
No need - turn it off in the config and continue fanaticizing. By the way, if you bring them to
border, then you can catch mouse clicks on them. Well, there is such a thing - not all
love keyboard shortcuts (and some like me just hate them). Always and
You can miss and forget, but there are no hints. F1 as it is now - yes
It would be better if it didn’t exist. What, it’s difficult to make the font smaller and have it all in one
the screen fit. Is there a better way to sort for the blind?
Hello, Vladimir Kladov
Vla> Well, there is one thing - not everyone likes keyboard shortcuts (and some like me
Vla> they just hate). You can always miss and forget, but tips
Vla> - none. F1 in the form it is now - it would be better if it didn’t exist.
Well, if you remember the specs of what it was like before (95-97), then basically everything is on
keys and it was done. I think if it’s okay to emulate a platform, but not
with those bells and whistles that are not needed at all... I looked through a bunch of emuls,
I still don’t understand, where to cram so many functions??? Half of it is not there
you use it at work... I'm not talking about games, but specifically if you do something...
P.S. Everyone looks from their own bell tower... :)
Hello, Vladimir Kladov
Vla> even the spin guys made a drawing of the keyboard - they took the idea from me, and it’s not a pity
Vla> let everyone do it, good ideas are never bad.
Hmm, hmm... I remember the idea with the keyboard in various emulators long before EmuZWin
:v2_rolley
Hello Black1980
By the way, all the keys were signed there - on spec. At least for
BASIC-48 would hardly have been able to introduce anything if they were not
signed 8-]. (It’s interesting, now you will need BASIC-48 code
dial a little, in the unril - how will you do this - by touch? and in
showman? even the spin guys made a drawing of the keyboard - they took the idea from me, and didn’t
it’s a pity, let everyone do it, good ideas are never bad. Ugh! even in
my Z is 4.5K in size and in Bacteria 3K in size there is a drawn keyboard).
For many programs and games, the command letters were chosen very wisely - according to the first
the letters of the English words that the commands stood for. This is not F11 or Alt+F8
any. Or were there some standards. Type QAOP(N/M/Space).
Hello Titus
But no one thought to click on it with the mouse. And show pressed
keys too. For a long time - maybe. But before you start making your own emulsion,
Those that I saw had nothing in sight. Spectaculator, Real Spec (as it is)
some kind of alternative but not keyboard), Gleck and Z80. So I reinvented it and
improved without knowing anything about his predecessors. I can consider myself to be the first.
Hello Surfin' Bird
I have nothing against EmuZWin, quite the contrary :) He helps me with taps
work. There’s just one thing I don’t understand, maybe off-topic, but maybe someone
what he knows:
When I turn on stereo sound in any emulator (ACB, ABC), one channel becomes
very quiet, and sometimes you can’t hear it at all, you have to switch to mono
mode... HOW to fix this problem???
Hello, Vladimir Kladov
Vladimir Kladov - RULES! :)
Hello Black1980
don't put stereo sound ;)
but in general this is almost the way it should be (if ACB, then channel C will be quieter than the others, but in
two columns). if it really becomes inaudible sometimes, then
Sorry, I can’t recommend anything else but to go and throw out your petse
;) because I’ve never encountered anything like this (I don’t think anyone has felt this way either)
Hello Surfin' Bird
Sur> Vladimir Kladov - RULES! :)
Rules, rules... :v2_tong2: I myself am using his emulsion for now, although with
There is an accuracy of emulation of the problem: v2_cool: I come across it here and there. Even
Pentagon multicolor is not accurate :v2_rolley
Hello, goodboy
the beginning of parer can only be considered together with the beginning of int.
Regarding Anril - all the multicolors I know are tailored to the Pentagon there
work 100% correctly.
Hello Titus
Tit> Even the multicolor Pentagon is not accurate
on Unreal the beginning of Paper is 17989, on EmuZWin - 17982 ???

Hello, goodboy
Well, for example Rage - it’s coming. You can also adjust your parameters, and
install as if forever, if you don’t like mine.
Hello, Vladimir Kladov
What thread is the emulator, maybe GRM?
Hello, Vladimir Kladov
Vla> 2. and where is the ULA “circuit”?
Well, for the Pentagon I think... in the Pentagon scheme ;)
presumably in the upper left part.
Hello, Vladimir Kladov
Vla> 1. There are also typos in diagrams
Vla> 2. and where is the ULA “circuit”?
There are typos in the diagrams, and in the documentation there is also a misunderstood operating principle
schemes :v2_wink2:
Hello Black1980
Bla> If you're talking about Real, then please rub your nose in, because no matter how much you've dug
Bla> I didn’t find it, I don’t argue that there is TZX, but tap is not there...
No question. Go to Alt+F7 in Tape Options, there select Open tape for
saving, the Save tape file window appears, in it you need to enter the file name (well,
of course select the directory) and with the arrow keys "right" or "left"
select the recording format - TAP, WAV, CSW or TZX (it is selected by
default). Now everything you record from the emulator via SAVE will be
saved in this file. Just don’t forget to disconnect it later (again according to
Alt+F7).

Well, if you haven’t met someone like this, then why immediately say what to throw away??? Not
you know, you don’t know... I’m in mysteries myself, to be honest, it worked before...
ice> RS can. Choosing between TZX and TAP.
If you're talking about Real, then please point your nose at me, because no matter how much I dug I couldn't find it,
I don’t argue that there is TZX, but tap is not there...

Thank you very much, but I know this. The point is that you should not unsubscribe to
film, namely to save the program that is currently running...
EmuZWin allows you to do the following, for example, we launched a demo in
We can simply unsubscribe any part in the File menu in tap format... Exactly
This is what I need from the emulator, I just don’t know how to convert it into tap any other way....

You can save it in SNA and then add a loader (like on worldofspectrum.org
there are similar utilities). Why are you doing this?
Hello icebear
Then I did the same in just tap. But first I took a snapshot. I can
explain why. In one good emulsion that I have been using for a long time
"instead of real" for testing the processor (nothing funny) - Spectaculator
as soon as you load a snapshot, it immediately goes into model mode, which
This is the only type of snapshot that is involved. And with tap - on the contrary, you can, first
choose a model and then load. So I managed to drive multicolors, which
I had them in the form of snapshots. And your tests. Although of course this
The “snapshot” doesn’t always manage to load later. Memory sometimes gets spoiled. Well
or stack if it was in the screen or ROM area.
Hello icebear
ice> Why are you doing this?
I have a Spectrum emulator on my mobile, it understands (works fine)
only taps, I make something like a small player with music on it, so I have to
get by this way.

Non-standard use of TAP :) That's why I didn't understand you. Try it anyway
utilities that attach loaders to SNA files, suddenly you will add to your collection on
mobile For example Z802TZX
(ftp://ftp.worldofspectrum.org/pub/sinclair/tools/pc/Z802TZXv12.zip), which
Available for Windows (link provided), Amiga and Linux.
Hello icebear
ice> Still, try utilities that attach bootloaders to SNA files, suddenly
ice> you will add to the collection on your mobile.
Regular software is quite enough... :)
ice> Non-standard application of TAP That's why I didn't understand you.
So, what is there to understand... Well, the modular emulsion doesn’t want to work with others
formats, it just doesn’t even load them (if you make them yourself, which are from the Internet
I download everything, it loads fine), so I have to get smart.. :)
Hello Trantor
I use 3 Spectrum emulators.
1. Klive 1.1 - easy to use, accurate and high quality.
2. ZX Spin - a beautiful and high-quality emulator with a lot of different
bells and whistles, starting from version 0.61 it supports TR DOS (although I don’t care about it
:))
3. showman. I mainly use it to watch demos or RZX
