Is it possible to create an OS for PC that emulates the work of a spec? — ZXNet «zxnet.soft»

Hello Savage There is no point in doing this. A better solution in this direction is screw the Speck video processor to the PC if you really want to. In this case, RS will be pretend to be Z80 and, if desired, AY (although it can also be done in real life screw it on), and work with peripherals - keyboard, mouse, joystick, flop, screw... And this will be - Half Spectrum :).

Hello, All I mean the OS is the same as Windows or Unix. If you do something like this is possible, then will it [the axis that is] have to slow down the operation of the RAM and CPU for full imitation of Speck?

Hello, boo_boo boo> register the emulsion in the autoexecute take more: reflash the BIOS! turn it on, and you immediately get a speck :) but it would be cooler to have a virus that one day changes the BIOS emulator :) and one day all PCs become specs :))

Some kind of nonsense. Or a joke. But seriously - maybe implement some semblance dos-box emulator that only launches Spec's programs. If for Windows, then these are small edits to the same Unreal... Although, of course, little sense in this... :) Although, of course, making an emulsion in the form of a Live CD or Live FDD/Flash is also an idea :)

Hello Savage Somewhere in the forum there was a link to just such an Axis. The PC booted from a floppy disk (this took about three seconds) - and before my eyes a familiar screensaver. It's lying around somewhere such a file... Only I didn’t check the sound compatibility with cassettes, but there was no smell of tyrdos, so it was nothing more than a good joke... Well, I found it: go to http://www.worldofspectrum.org/emulators.html, then go to PC/BOOT and download what you need. I liked the second option better, written on Linux, only download from CD, and download more than 500 meters not a fountain... And the first version is raw to the point of no watermelon, 25% of Speck is unfinished...

Hello, psb boo> install DOS, under it Rilspectrum or some other emulsion with support boo> flops, and register the emulsion in the autoexecute. Where can I find an emulsion that works in DOS? I've never met anyone like that...

I suggest: Speccy_Bios_v1.0 :)

Hello, boo_boo It seems to me that the topic should be moved to the "Emulation" section!
