- Sinclair ZX Spectrum Emulator 'Z80' v3.02 - 3/11/94 - by G.A. Lunter
-
-
-
-
- 'Z80' is a shareware program. The program is not completely
- functional, and the parts which are left out are included when you
- register. You are encouraged to give this demo version to friends, but
- DO NOT change the original archive in any way, please. The shareware
- version of the emulator consists of the Z80-302.ZIP archive file, which
- should contain the following 11 files:
-
- Z80.EXE - The emulator
- Z80.INI - Default initialisation file
- Z80.PIF - Program Info File to run 'Z80' under Windows 3.1
- Z80.ICO - Windows icon
- Z80.DOC - Documentation file
- Z80FAQ.DOC - Frequently asked questions - and answers!
- REGISTER.DOC - This file
- NEW.DOC - The What's New file
- ROMS.BIN - Various ROM images
- LAYOUT.SCR - Keyboard lay-out help screen
- DIAGRAM.Z80 - Circuit diagram for tape interface, and calibration
-
- The shareware version of the emulator differs from the registered
- version in the following respects: it cannot be slowed down, it cannot
- load from or save to tape, and it does not emulate the DISCiPLE and the
- Plus D interfaces. Everything else works as in the registered version.
-
- If you register, you get the fully working version, and the following
- utilities:
-
-
- CONVERT - a general conversion program: can list out BASIC and
- tranlate it back, produce .GIF or .PCX files from
- screen dumps, translate Spectrum ASCII (CR) to PC ASCII
- (CR/LF), and some other things.
- CONVZ80 - Translates various snapshot and tape formats of other
- Spectrum emulators into each other. Can handle the
- familiar .SNA format use by several emulators (JPP,
- XZX,...), and also Pedro Gimeno's (VGASPEC and SPECTRUM)
- .SP format and Kevin J. Phairs' (SPECEM) .PRG format.
- It can also handle tape files of SPECEM and L. Rindt and
- E. Brukner's emulator ZX.
- DISCIPLE - Reads DISCiPLE and Plus D diskettes, both 3.5'' and
- 5.25''. It translates the 48K and 128K snapshot files
- to .Z80 snapshots, and ordinary files and screen
- snapshots to .TAP tape files. (Not necessary for the
- fully registered version, but handy for the cheaper
- one.)
- Z802TAP - Converts a .Z80 snapshot, 48K or 128K, to a .TAP file
- which can be loaded into the emulator and saved to tape
- by the next utility:
- TAP2TAPE - Saves the contents of a .TAP file back to tape, to load
- it into an ordinary Spectrum.
- TAP2VOC - Converts a .TAP file to a .VOC sound sample file, to
- write to tape, or to load into the emulator.
- READVOC - Reads in a .VOC sound sample, to be used as input to the
- emulator, from the LPT tape interface or a SoundBlaster.
- OUT2VOC - Converts .OUT log files into .VOC sound sample files,
- so that you can easily extract music samples from
- Spectrum games, or SAVE directly to a .VOC file.
- Z80DUMP - Shows the header and the contents of a .Z80 file.
-
-
- You will also receive the source files of the emulator, the above
- utilities and the SamRam, and you will be kept informed about future
- updates.
-
- You can also choose to register for the emulator without DISCiPLE and
- Plus D emulation, if you are not interested in those parts. The
- registration fee is a bit lower then, and you will receive everything
- stated above (including the DISCIPLE program), the only difference
- being that you get a version of the emulator that will not emulate the
- M.G.T. interfaces.
-
- There are several registration sites, the main one being B.G. Services
- in the U.K. You can also register with me in the Netherlands, or with
- Jimaz in the Czech Republic, with Sinclair Freakeren in Denmark, David
- Pomeroy in New Zealand and with FriendWare in Spain, whichever is most
- convenient. Details follow:
