For those who wonder how to use 5200 Roms :

You have to load them using the original atari800 emulator menu (the yellow "Atari800 menu"
option in the emulator window ).

Then select "Cartridge management" then "Insert cartridge" and specify your disk image file,
then choose the cartridge type corresponding to your ROM and go back to the emulator using LTrigger

Fantastic!! Looking forward to checking this out. Even though I just got a replacement cap for my GP2X making it much more useful.

ok just tried it out. We got sound, even if it is a little bit funky. I know the guy who ported this over to the GP2X had difficulties with the sound, although he did eventually get it too work ok.

I also noticed that it seems to be recording some information into a stdout.txt file. Key mapping is a little weird but at least I can change that.

Looking good, so hopefully you'll be able to get the kinks worked out eventually. Almost runs 100% at 222 mhz!

First of all, thanks for your feedback.

Yes, "funky" is the word lol !

good to know, if he releases sources, i can have a look on it, and try to modify this version to work properly. I've spent night to try to improve it, but without any success.

I also noticed that it seems to be recording some information into a stdout.txt file.

Yes this is debug trace file, but normally it should contains only few line. I will remove that on futur release (if i do).

Key mapping is a little weird but at least I can change that.

When i don't know the cartridge type, i test them all

zx-81.... a bit OT, but are you ever going to consider making a speccy emulator?

at the moment it appears that PSPectrum is going to have to be withdrawn, since its using partial Fuse code (which must be open-source) and some other borrowed code (for which sources cannot be released)

as a result, its causing hell to the author who is now considering abandonning the project completely, and ceasing distribution of the emulator.


i ask becaude your emualtors are excellent, and you even go as far as to name yourself after a Sinclair machine, but without making an emualtor of the best sinclair machine there ever was! - it will break my heart to see that no speccy emualtor is still in circulation for the psp.


if you do, i come recommended as a speccy beta tester! (i filled that task for pspectrum)

best of luck with your continuing projects though, you do great work.
