SpecEmu.EXE rises error 0x80004001 when started in Remote Desktop Protocol session

$

SpecEmu.EXE only brings error:

SpecEmu
Failed creating primary surface

Error Code: 0x80004001
OK
when I started it in a in Remote Desktop Protocol ( RDP ) session (from Win10 64-Bit PC to Win 10 32-Bit PC).

Starting it "local" on the Win10 32-Bit PC SpecEmu works without any problem.

Idea: May this problem come from DirectX?

I've released version 1.0 of TileMap, my playable game map (Windows only).

The test version from a few months back only supported Jet Set Willy. The update adds Jet Set Willy II+, Dynamite Dan, Dynamite Dan II, Spindizzy, Starquake, and Technician Ted. I've a couple more games in the works too.

ZXBaremulator 3.h.8.std

Hi,

I want to release a new beta of my bare-metal ZX Spectrum emulator ZXBaremulator, for Raspberry PI 2/3/3b.

The new features:

- Support for DualShock 4 & XBOX360 gamepads. I want to warn that XBOX360 wireless gamepad can't be used USB-wired. His USB socket can be used to recharge a battery, but isn't a full USB interface. The button for change joystick model is "SHARE" on DS4 and "BACK" on XBOX360. I need feedback of the first DS4 gamepad model (CUH-ZCT1x) and the original XBOX360 gamepad (only tested with a clone).

- No more 1100 files limit. I've tested with 1700 files. I want to develop a full file browser, I wish before Christmas, but...

- Some bugs squashed.

Uncompress Zip file in an empty SD, copy your favourite games to "Tapes" directory and play...

PS4 Controller / Fuse 1.5.6 / Windows 10 doesn't work?

$
0
0
This is probably going to be stupidity personified but I can't seem to figure out how to map a PS4 Controller into FUSE?

c848ab1043182524.PNG

It is detected by Windows 10 and works but there is nothing in FUSE that seems to correspond to it
Everything is just Joystick Fire or keyboard key selections, and the Joystick Fire does't do anything.

Spectaculator 8.0 and 47loader

$

Hi all

I'm messing with 47loader (which is GREAT and very fun btw) and I find that Spectaculator usually brings a R:Tape Loading Error trying to load .TZX modified with 47loader. Giving that I'm doing mostly trial&error, I need to know that the failure is mine and not the emulator that cannot handle some combination of turboloader configuration.
Is there any configuration that can be applied on Spectaculator, or it just doesn't support all turbo loaders and I have to use other emulator like FUSE, ZX Spin or ZEsarUX?

Thanks in advance and regards

Hi!

I have uploaded a new BETA version of ZEsarUX 7.2
You can download a compiled version for Mac or Windows from:
https://github.com/chernandezba/zesarux/releases

Linux and other O.S. users, you can compile from source code.

Changes in this beta version:

Version 7.2. 19 December 2018 - Neula edition

Added setting to specify configuration file

Improved menu environment:
* Added new menu window type: ZX Vision. GUI Windows can be moved, resized, scrolled, minimized, closed, and change the focus to the background
* Warning and Error window messages now show an animation


Added key to save text windows contents to a file
Added setting to send a final space after every word in the osd adventure keyboard
Added Dandanator CPC emulation
Added machine Amstrad CPC 4128

Improved ZRCP:
-commands smartload and snapshot-load are more intelligent now
-running in verbose or limit mode, or cpu-step command, can now update the display inmediately (having real video setting on)
Improved vu-meters: high volumes are shown in red
Improved sprite viewer: you can view sprites up to 512x512

Improved disassemble window:
*now you can export the disassemble to text file
*you can now see the full opcode when debugging Sinclair QL
*you can now show/hide hexadecimal dump of every opcode

Fixed visual glitches in some menus when Pentagon machine and real video: audio wave, visualmem, ay piano, wave piano, view sprites
Fixed visual glitches in some menus when interlaced enabled: audio wave, visualmem, ay piano, wave piano, view sprites
Fixed audio bug: sending a sample to the DAC by using Next registers, it wasn’t reseting the silence detection counter, so sound would probably be frozen (and repeated again, and again...)
Fixed autoload on tbblue (on normal and also fast boot mode)


Enjoy!

Cheers
Cesar

Ok all,

This is a version that fixes TR-DOS (not by me), and adds some other bits.

NOTE: This is not a TR-DOS fix from me, it's from A N Other.

I am still learning the code and how everything works, so bear with me. If you have no patience then feckoff :p

NOTE 2: This is not a stable version, although it may work ok. Any queries etc please send to ME!

PLEASE NOTE AGAIN: If it halts the first time, then please kill it and run again, it will work. I am investigating this issue.

Thank you all :)

Some pics of my bits, :p

Joystick question

Hello there, I have just purchased the zxspectrum4.net emulator for my Windows10 laptop and wanted to play some of the games with a joystick. Will a normal USB joystick work? Will a USB joypad work as well. What is it that you good people use?

Thanks,
Andy

ZXBaremulator v3.H(ikoki) Beta

$

Hi,

Thanks to a Recreated ZX kindly donated by Hikoki, I've added support for it to ZXBaremulator.

Now two keyboards can be connected to the PI, one USB standard keyboard and a Recreated ZX keyboard. The RZX keyboard needs to be configured in "Game" mode (switch in A position). The RZX keyboard will work by himself, but the special keys can't be acessed, so isn't possible to load any game. The logical combination is RZX+standard USB keyb.

The beta version can be downloaded from here: kernel7.img

ZX Spin Error on Win 10

Hi mates

I was doing a revamp check on my Playstation Drive (USB where I have my systems running all in portable mode) and ZX Spin just ran me the following "RUNTIME ERROR 217 at 0004FD2". I was using specemu so I didn't try to run this on a Win10 machie before... Is ZX Spin not compatible with Win10? If so what is the best one to run in the latest Win10?

Cheers

How are LAST-K and FLAGS set on a Real Spectrum?

$
0
0
Hi,

I'm writing a Spectrum emulator and I've got Horace and the Spiders working (with the wrong colours and no sound) but when I boot into ROM none of the keyboard presses are recognised.

I've realised it's because Horace and the Spiders uses IN to read the keyboard (which I've implemented) but the ROM uses bit 5 of FLAGS and LAST-K to work out what's been pressed.

As far as I can tell, FLAGS and LAST-K aren't set by the ROM so I assume that they're set in a real Spectrum by the ULA but I couldn't find any information that confirmed that so I doubted my assumption.

Can anyone tell me how they are set?

Regarding implementation in my emulator, I assumed that, when a key is pressed BIT 5 is set to 1 and the value of the key is stored in LAST-K so, if you press multiple keys between reads of LAST-K, only the last one is recognised and the rest are lost...is this correct?

Thanks

Gareth

Spectaculator help please?

Hello all, I was given an Amazon Fire HD 8 for xmas and although it's mostly useless as I don't bother with 'mobile' games, I found the spectrum emulator on the store and bought it but I have a problem.

I cannot get it to find games I have copied to the micro sdcard at all. it will run a game if I copy it to the internal folder but simply will not find games on the sdcard.

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
(yes, I verified that the games are actually on the sdcard)

I want to play some speccy games on a handheld console. I've got a PSP I don't want to hack but I hear a 3DS doesn't need to be hacked, I can just put the emulator and games on a SD4 card(?). Anyone know of a reliable source for the necessary hardware?
