CSpect V1.0!!

Okay, big update this one - so now declaring version 1.0! (coz why the hell not...)

• Startup and shut down crash should be fixed
• You can now use register names in the debugger evaluation ("M HL" instead of "M $1234", "BC HL" etc.)
• G to disassemble from address
• -sound to disable audio
• Timing fixed when no sound active.
• -resid to enable loading and using of the reSID DLL. Note: not working yet - feel free to try and fix it! :)
• -exit to enable "EXIT" opcode of "DD 00"
• -brk to enable "BREAK" opcode of "DD 01"
• -esc to disable ESCAPE exit key (use exit opcode, close button or ALT+F4 to exit)
• Fixed the Kempston Mouse interface, now works like the hardware.
• Next registers are now readable (as per hardware)
• local labels beginning with ! or . will now be stripped properly
• Pressing CONTROL will release the mouse
• Right shift is now also "Symbol shift"
• 3xAY audio added - many thanks to Matt Westcott (gasman) https://github.com/gasman/libayemu
• Timex Hicolour added
• Timex Hires added
• Lowest bit of BLUE can now be set
• SHIFT+ENTER will set the PC to the current "user bar" address
• Raster interrupts via Next registers $22 and $23
• MMU memory mapping via NextReg $50 to $57
• Source for ay.dll and resid.dll included (feel free to fix reSID.DLL!)
• You can now specify the window size with -w1, -w2, -w3 and -w4(default). If winow is less than 3x then the debugger is not available
• Cursor keys are now mapped to 5678 (ZX spectrum cursor)
• Backspace now maps to LeftShift+0 (delete)
• DMA now available! Simple block transfer (memory to memory, memory to port, port to memory)
• SpecDrum sample interface included. Port $ffdf takes an 8 bit signed value and is output to audio. (not really tested)
• Added the lowres demo (press 1+2 to switch demo)
• Updated Mouse demo and added Raster Interrupts
• Added DMA demo
• Added 3xAY demo by Purple Motion.

CSpect V0.9 released

Update to handle the new (updated) ULANext spec. Other changes listed below....

register 20 ($14) Global transparency colour added (defaults to $e3)
regisrer 7 Turbo mode selection implemented.
Fixed 28Mhz to 14,7,3.5 transition.
ULANext mode updated to new spec  (see https://www.specnext.com/tbblue-io-port-system/)

Update to SNasm

A couple of important fixes for my SNasm assembler, so I thought I'd release an updated version..
Note: This is newer than the version in the CSpect bundle.

Fixed ld (ix+UNDEFINED),a  (and IY)
Fixed locals being defined after an equate
Fixed (IX+forward_label) issue
SNA saving now saves some default registers so you can call ROM stuff better
XOR A,REG/IMM now throws an error
SUB A,REG/IMM now throws an error

Please remember SNasm's Z80 mode is still very new, so there will still be issues with them. If you find any, please let me know.

Enjoy!

ULANext palette support added (see readme for details)
TEST $XX opcode fixed


Enjoy!

CSpect V0.5

Will just say.... These are all subject to change. Looks like HLDE will swap to DEHL to help compilers, and ACC32 changes to A32. So be aware when using.

Okay, this this (might) be the last one for a little - I really want to carry on with my game, and not get drawn into doing emulators and assemblers all the time!


There are also several new Z80 opcodes to play with! My included assembler will assemble these correctly for use in the emulator. There are a few more to come.....

Version 0.4 of CSpect

This is a new release of my CSpect emulator with yet more ZX Spectrum Next features.

You can now set sprite and screen order priorities, and the included Layer 2 scrolling demo+source shows how to do this.
Full memory banking has been added, so you can now use the full 1MB of RAM that will come with the next! (well....subject to change, and esxDOS pinching some). Again the Layer 2 demo shows this function in the utils.asm file. The comments also show the general layout of memory, so you should take a look there before using the paging.

Layer 2 double buffering! You can now have 2 Layer 2 buffers and page in either to $0000-$3ffff using the new bit layout in port $123b - see the included read me. for more details. To flip buffers, you just need to swap register 18 and register 19 values around.

There are also several new Z80 opcodes to play with! My included assembler will assemble these correctly for use in the emulator. There are a few more to come.....

   swapnib    ED 23    A bits 7-4 swap with A bits 3-0

   add  hl,a  ED 31    Add A to HL (no flags set)
   add  de,a  ED 32    Add A to DE (no flags set)
   add  bc,a  ED 33    Add A to BC (no flags set)

   ldirx      ED B4    As LDIR, but if byte==A does not copy

   lddrx      ED BC    As LDDR,  but if byte==A does not copy

The file system will (should) also now accept '*' or '$' as setting the current drive. (untested)

I have also started to add some basic Audio, so the spectrum beeper now works.

Lastly.... the Sprite shape register has switched from port $55 to port $5B

New CSpect ZX Spectrum Next emulator

UPDATE:  I've now added register setting, and memory window set/moving. You can also set breakpoints from the input line, and push/pop values.

I've been working away on a new debugger for my CSpect emulator, and it's now ready to use, so here it is along with my assembler (SNasm) and a sample showing how to use it all. Please read the readme and be aware it may go pop at any time. Aside from that -have fun!!

Z8410 DMA chip for the ZX Spectrum Next

So the ZX Spectrum Next team have added a Z80 DMA chip, the Z8410  chip to be more precise. This was popular add on in Europe ( more info here: http://velesoft.speccy.cz/data-gear.htm ), and has some very cool advantages for future games, especially because it's now a standard part. However information on it is a little thin on the ground, so after some major googling, I've found the info on them.

The DMA port can be 11 or 107, and it can transfer around 865k per second
From the web page above: Max. speed of data transfer on ZX128+ is...

17.3 kB(17727 bytes) / frame = 865.6 kB(886350 bytes) / second.
Or.... 1 byte every 4 T-States.

Now here is the really cool bit, because it's tied to the clock speed, when you speed up the NEXT (as it can go 7Mhz, 14Mhz and 28Mhz), the DMA will also speed up!  This is amazing, as it means you'll be able to transfer 1.73Mb/s, 3.46Mb/s, and an astounding 6.92Mb/s!  At 28Mhz you won't be using Layer 2, and that means you could copy the original Layer 1 screen in just 13.5 scanlines, which is incredible.

The registers are below, and here is the Datasheet

esxDOS File access

So I was about to start adding some very basic "simulation" support for files into my emulator, and I'd lost track of the API details as they were listed on Facebook. Facebook isn't a great place to have technical discussions as you can't search later to find the stuff you need!

Fortunately I had it saved off, so before I (and everyone else) loses it, I thought I'd put it up here. I'll do a little ASM lib with all this later.
I'll also extend this if/when I discover more commands, as there appears to be very little info about the esxDOS API

ZX Spectrum Next - Bitmap example disassembly

I've been having a poke around in the ZX Spectrum Next Bitmap example. It's mostly clear, but one or two things are....odd.
This is what I have so far.

UPDATE: Banking registers now confirmed by Jim Bagley

; Disassembly of the file "bitmaps\BMPLOAD"
; 
; BMP Port $123b
;     bit 0    -    Write enable. (banks in 16K from $0000-$3fff)
;     bit 1    -    bitmap ON
;     bit 4    -    Layer 2 below spectrum screen
;     bit 6-7  -    Which 16K bank to page into $0000-$3ffff
;
; On entry, HL = arguments
;

;
; Since dot commands run at $2000, and the Layer 2 is paged into $0000-$3fff
; It needs to have some code above the lower 16K to actually copy into layer 2
; So copy up the "copy" routine, and it'll page in/out the layer 2 bank
