It seems the UDG CHR128 games I tried also worked. Maybe I enabled CHR16 and CHR128 by accident? :)
Do you have a program you want to test?

It works great with CHR$128.

It was difficult to load the charset at $2000.

I couldn't load it with LOAD "CHARSET.U8K;$2000".

But if i renamed the file to CHARSET.ROM, I could load it with LOAD "CHARSET.ROM;8192".

But I couldn't get ZX Printer to work. Maybe it's not implemented on macOS.

From what I have seen, ZX printer support exists in z81 and xz81, but not sz81, the SDL version, which is the one I build on the Mac. Also, z81 and zx81 seem to not have been updated since version 2.1.7, and so while they might have ZX printer support, they might not have other features. I can try to port in the ZX printer support eventually. Also, the Mac version is missing the W5100 network support. I had to disable that because it relied on a /proc file system and other things Mac OS X does not have.

Just a few thoughts: With UDG, I guess 64 characters are supported rather than 128 different ones, unless one line in the source is changed. In LOAD, the address should indeed be specified in decimal, but that could easily be changed. Printing should cause a bitmap file to be created, in subfolder "prtout" of the folder where the initialization file is located (for example "~/.sz81/prtout").

Ok, I see that even though the -p printer option is not supported on the command line printer output does occur. I added an icon which will open the print output folder. Click on that icon and you should see everything you tried to print.

Hi all,

I got problems with this on Big Sur - anyone compiled a version that works for latest version of MacOS?
