1K Real Chess for ZX80
Re: ZX80 porting of Super Micro Chess 1K
PS: which cursor do you see just after loading the program?
(because in this case the behaviors of the emulators differs)

Re: ZX80 porting of Super Micro Chess 1K
This sounds a little bit like the problem I have with my ZX80Pand ROM where multiple key presses take place instead of just one when displaying the "MORE" message
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.

@Paul: did you tried on a "standard" ZX80 1K?
(loading from cassette?)

Re: ZX80 porting of Super Micro Chess 1K
I think the Cursor character should be changed to make it visible on white squares.
I am using standard ZX80 with Zxpand but that should make no difference I would have thought?

Not yet I'm afraid. No time...

Re: ZX80 porting of Super Micro Chess 1K
Yes, you can edit a file .zesaruxrc on your home directory with the settings you want. This file is created blank the first time and only read on ZEsarUX versions 4.2 and below. Next 5.0 version (and last betas) can also write settings on that file.
1)
Sorry, didn't thought about it!
There is a way to save default parameters?
(e.g. I think that real video should be always on, and I have also some other preferences as GUI style - ZX80/81 , speed, etc)
There test1.o and test2.o do load on ZEsarUX. Should they autostart also?
----
2)
Anyway differences doesn't stop here! (and I suspect EightyOne to be more accurate, but I can be wrong not having the real reference)
As for example this file is loading with showing just [K] cursor in ZesarUX while in EightyOne seems not even starting! test1.o
Or this other that again is just giving a normal [K] in ZesaurUX while in EightyOne is producing a "?" followed by [L] and [ S ] cursors: test2.o ...
@Moggy: I know they still do not work, I'm testing the not autorun version
Re: ZX80 porting of Super Micro Chess 1K
No, as said this is the "no autorun" version. And they not even functioning in term of gameplay, I sent just because they were an example of different behaviours between emulators.chernandezba wrote: ↑Mon Apr 17, 2017 11:01 amThere test1.o and test2.o do load on ZEsarUX.

And more, as also said I don't know if it is ZesarUX or EightyOne that emulate the real behaviour... Should someone having a real ZX80 saying in these two example how the real machine reacts!

Regarding ".zesaruxrc" which is the parameters to make "Real Video" on? (I was not able to find...)
And, there is some difference (in test program behaviour) between tape and realtape? (seems not to me)
Thank you!

(run with --experthelp and you will see all the command line settings available)
The two settings are completely different. Tape loads instantly the file, it works by trapping rom calls. Real tape works as a "real" tape, so it loads at a normal zx80 speed, with loading sound, etc

Got it!chernandezba wrote: ↑Mon Apr 17, 2017 12:03 pm (run with --experthelp and you will see all the command line settings available)
Seems to me that in the case of realtape there should be no reason for the initial displayed screen to be different from real!...chernandezba wrote: ↑Mon Apr 17, 2017 12:03 pm The two settings are completely different.

I'm curious. Hope soon to be able to test myself... let's see!
In the meantime good work Cesar!
