ZEsarUX 5.0

[chernandezba]

Hi!


ZEsarUX 5.0 is out!


You can download it from the URL:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/zesarux/


Finally I have succeded emulating Sinclair QL. I dedicated a lot of hours trying to guess how the keyboard work.

There is little documentation and I had to do lots of dissassemblies of the ROM and testing keyboard to know how it work...

So, hard work, this is a Quantum Leap, so this is a new major version, 5.0!

Complete changelog:


Added Sinclair QL emulation

Added remote command protocol. You can do enhanced debugging on ZEsarUX by using a telnet client.

There are a lot of commands, even many commands exclusive to this protocol and not found on the GUI, like:

* load-source-code

* hexdump-internal

* set-register


Added Easter Egg

Added Specdrum emulation

Added RZX playback support

Added Multiface One, 128 and Three emulation

Added setting to write configuration file

Added menu item to reload IDE and MMC contents from file. You can now modify a used file outside the emulator and reload its contents

Added autosave snapshot at fixed interval

Added hardware debug port to output ascii characters or numbers directly on host console

Added two unused ports from the ZXI pool for some internal ZEsarUX features. See docs/zesarux_zxi_registers.txt

Added Hotswap from 128k to +2A, and +2A to 128k

Added File Viewer

2) 9 opcodes, other internal registers

3) 15 opcodes

4) 9 hexdump lines, other internal registers

5) 15 hexdump lines

Fixed text to speech routine when sending non-ascii character

wow... that is a lot of supported machines around the Zilog80 microchip... I always wanted to play with the QL (too expensive at that time), will look at it on my Debian machine...
