ZXBox is a port of the ``Spectemu'' ZX Spectrum 48k emulator for Rockbox
|
||
|
|
(\Pointinghand\href{http://kempelen.iit.bme.hu/~mszeredi/spectemu/spectemu.html}
|
||
|
|
{project's homepage}). To start a game open a tape file or snapshot saved as
|
||
|
|
\fname{.tap}, \fname{.tzx}, \fname{.z80} or \fname{.sna} in the file browser.\\
|
||
|
|
\note{As ZXBox is a 48k emulator only loading of 48k z80 snapshots is possible.}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\subsubsection{Default keys}
|
||
|
|
The emulator is set up for 5 different buttons: Up, Down, Left, Right and
|
||
|
|
Jump/Fire. Each one of these can be mapped to one key of the Spectrum Keyboard
|
||
|
|
or they can be used like a ``Kempston'' joystick. Per default the buttons,
|
||
|
|
including an additional but fixed menu button, are assigned as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\begin{table}
|
||
|
|
\begin{btnmap}{}{}
|
||
|
|
\opt{IPOD_3G_PAD,IPOD_4G_PAD}{\ButtonMenu/\ButtonPlay/}

\subsubsection{ZXBox menu}
|
||
|
|
\begin{description}
|
||
|
|
\item[ Vkeyboard.]
|
||
|
|
This is a virtual keyboard representing the Spectrum keyboard. Controls are
|
||
|
|
the same as in standard Rockbox, but you just press one key instead of
|
||
|
|
entering a phrase.
|
||
|
|
\item[Play/Pause Tape.] Toggles playing of the tape (if it is loaded).
|
||
|
|
\item[Save Quick Snapshot.] Saves snapshot into \fname{/.rockbox/zxboxq.z80}.
|
||
|
|
\item[Load Quick Snapshot.] Loads snapshot from \fname{/.rockbox/zxboxq.z80}.
|
||
|
|
\item[Save Snapshot.]
|
||
|
|
Saves a snapshot of the current state. You would enter the full path and
|
||
|
|
desired name - for example \fname{/games/zx/snapshots/chuckie.sna}. The
|
||
|
|
snapshot format will be chosen after the extension you specified, per
|
||
|
|
default \fname{.z80} will be taken in case you leave it open.
|
||
|
|
\item[Toggle Fast Mode.]
|
||
|
|
Toggles fastest possible emulation speed (no sound, maximum frameskip etc.).
|
||
|
|
This is Useful when loading tapes with some specific loaders.
|
||
|
|
\item[Options.]
|
||
|
|
\begin{description}
|
||
|
|
\item[Map Keys To Kempston.]
|
||
|
|
Controls whether the \daps{} buttons should simulate a ``Kempston''
|
||
|
|
joystick or some assigned keys of the Spectrum keyboard.
|
||
|
|
\item[Display Speed.]Toggle displaying the emulation speed (in percent).
|
||
|
|
\item[Invert Colors.]
|
||
|
|
Inverts the Spectum colour palette, sometimes helps visibility.
|
||
|
|
\item[Frameskip]
|
||
|
|
Sets the number of frames to skip before displaying one. With zero
|
||
|
|
frameskip ZXBox tries to display 50 frames per second.
|
||
|
|
\item[Sound.]Turns sound on or off.
|
||
|
|
\item[Volume.]Controls volume of sound output.
|
||
|
|
\item[Predefined Keymap]
|
||
|
|
Select one of the predefined keymaps. For example \setting{2w90z} means:
|
||
|
|
map ZXBox's \btnfnt{Up} to \setting{2}, \btnfnt{Down} to \setting{w},
|
||
|
|
\btnfnt{Left} to \setting{9}, \btnfnt{Right} to \setting{0} and
|
||
|
|
\btnfnt{Jump/Fire} to \setting{z}. This example keymap is used in the
|
||
|
|
``Chuckie Egg'' game.
|
||
|
|
\item[Custom Keymap]
|
||
|
|
This menu allows you to map one of the Spectrum keys accessible through the
|
||
|
|
plugin's virtual keyboard to each one of the buttons.
|
||
|
|
\end{description}
|
||
|
|
\item[Quit.] Quits the emulator..
|
||
|
|
\end{description}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\nopt{ipodvideo}{% no scaling for here, still include it?
|
||
|
|
\subsubsection{Hacking graphics}
|
||
|
|
Due to ZXBox's simple (but fast) scaling to the screen by dropping lines and
|
||
|
|
columns some games can become unplayable. It is possible to hack graphics to
|
||
|
|
make them better visible with the help of an utility such as the ``Spectrum
|
||
|
|
Graphics Editor''. Useful tools can be found at the ``World of Spectrum'' site
|
||
|
|
(\url{http://www.worldofspectrum.org/utilities.html}).}
