Docs/Menus

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Z80Em: Menus
============

Options
-------

The Mode submenu lets you choose which mode to run the emulator
Mode 60 is the best - the screen should be centred and the borders
will be displayed properly.

Start Min'd determines whether Z80Em should start up minimised
when you load it. When minimised, it will only take up 32k of
memory, but will need to access the disc when you enter the
emulator.

The speed option determines how many T-states occur every 50th
of a second. The default value is &11100. You should not need
to alter this.

Save as Z80/Save as SNA - this option determines what format
Spectrum Snapshots are saved in.

Default - this option restores all the options to their default
value.

Save Options - thsi option saves the current setting of the above
options for when the emulator is next run.

Save
----

This allows you to save the current state of the emulator in either
Z80 or SNA format as determined above.

Poke
----

This option allows you to alter the emulated Spectrum's memory.
Typing an expression such as 12345,67 will set memory location (byte)
12345 to value 67. You can also poke the ROM with this!
(this cannot be done when the emulator is minimised)

Minimise
--------

This option will force the emulator to release 128k of memory.
This will lose any data or programs that are in the emulator.

Tape
----

This option will select tape mode which should be used if you
wish to input RAW files (from !Tapes) into the emulator.

The tape mode should NOT be used for TAP files.

The RAW file that you wish to use should be dragged onto Z80Em's
icon before entering the emulator.
Using this option will, like Minimise, lose any data or programs
in the emulator.
Once a tape is loaded, a snapshot should be saved BEFORE turning
off the tape option.
The emulator will probably go very slowly in tape mode.

See 'Tapefiles' for more details about Tapes.
