Re: sz81 - a portable z81 based emulator using SDL

Hi all, A new release is ready... But, is it possible to launch the Tree4th.rom (Forth bios rom @0000) with sZ81? We had to force the vertical refresh to 60hz ? The video display seem to hang on the default setup! Xav. Hello Xav, You told me, yesterday, you were looking for the Doc of Tree4th . but...

Re: Detecting HRG

IMHO it would be a better solution, to replace the PSEUDO-HRG routine, that you use, by a TRUE-HIRES routine (like WRX). That would then only require the easy "Wilf's 2 diodes" modification of the 16K ram pack and then your program would run on most other Zeddies. And you would also have the full g...

Re: Programs which use Hi-Res Graphics on the Sinclair ZX81

Wow. I wasn't aware of that site.

Re: Detecting HRG

That is not so easy: see Wilf' Video tutorial http://www.user.dccnet.com/wrigter/index_files/ZX%20Video%20Tutorial.htm and a ZX81 schema. During lores or pseudo hires display the ULA overwrites during refresh (when the character generator is read) the Z80 address lines A0 to A8 (9 Bit: 0000..01FF, ...

Re: Detecting HRG

"EO behaves different and IMHO allows to use any RAM as UDG-RAM!!! That is the reason, why my INTERC-U game (using UDG at $2000) runs in EO, but not on most real Zeddies (except my web-server zeddy :D ) Did you test using a real Zeddy or EO????" Hi Dominique Tried loading zx4paint on a real zeddy w...

Re: Detecting HRG

My Hi-Res for ZX4PAINT is a mix of : - Pseudo HiRes OK. - HRG enabled ram. What is it used for? If it holds the new pattern for Pseudo Hires, it needs to be UDG-enabled ram (see below). and is very easy to understand. A) If we look at the routine and information given by Steven McDonald for his pse...

Re: Detecting HRG

By the way, is there any difference in the requirements for WRX (Wilf's) Hi-Res graphics and those from Matthias? In other words can a program written for WRX (such as ZX4PAINT) work with Matthias's drivers, or do you have to load the WRX drivers? Rich, honestly, I don't know. May be Siggi can answ...

Re: Detecting HRG

.... No, not solved: as written before: you know only, that there is ANY ram at 8K. But it can be "normal" ram, not usable for UDG or HRG. Yes solved ! I never asked it and don't need this 8k to be "usable for UDG or HRG". Since I said that i need address 8192 and the test says I have the address 8...

Re: Detecting HRG

Siggi, Thanks, but the question asked by Rich, as I could understand, was from the PROGRAMMER point of view. The purpose, clearly, is to ask the programmer to include (if possible) a Low Res and a HGR version of the same programm. The programm detect if the required configuration is avaible and, acc...
