#4191 — Fuse 1.2.0 release

FromFred <fredm@spamcop.net>
Date2016-06-07 10:55 +0000
SubjectFuse 1.2.0 release
Message-ID<nj697j$2v8$1@gioia.aioe.org>
After a long gestation, and on behalf of the Fuse team I’d like to announce
that a new version of Fuse, the 1.2.0 release of Free Unix Spectrum
Emulator has been released at the SourceForge project:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/fuse-emulator/

Highlights of this release include:
* Emulation of the Currah µSource and Didaktik 80/40 interfaces.
* Capture BASIC video functions to SVG file.
* Allow continuing RZX recordings.
* Support bash completion.
* Really lots of bugfixes and miscellaneous improvements.

Many thanks to everyone who's contributed to this release, and in
particular thanks to Sergio Baldoví, Gergely Szasz and Stuart Brady for
their contributions. Source code and binaries for Windows are currently
available on the SourceForge site; compiled binaries for various other
platforms should become available in the next few days.

Hi, the Windows port no longer seems to print to printout.txt

Previous version worked here on Windows 7 x64 with 48k

Perhaps I've missed something.

I have used the --textfile option to create the file on my desktop but I
get nothing unless I enable both Emulate printers and ZX Printer and
then the file is empty.

The docs mention a configuration file. Is there one for Windows?

It works for me. My best guesses are:
* You should close the application to allow buffers be written to disk.
* The files are saved in the current working directory. If you have installed the setup (rather than use the zipped version), maybe the working directory is not writeable. You could create a shortcut and change the "Start in" property.

Options, Save
This will cause Fuse’s current options to be written to .fuserc in your home directory (Unix-like systems), or fuse.cfg in your %USERPROFILE% folder (Windows), from which they will be picked up again when Fuse is restarted.

Cheers,
Sergio

I have an admission to make <red face> for some reason my pussy brain
short circuited and I started using LPRINT instead of LLIST.

The OCR fails totally if you BREAK and the PAPER colour is say blue. You
have to change it. It also doesn't like graphics characters. I only want
it to search and read the code more easily so it's not important.

My next mission is to try and recover some assembler source I wrote with
the OCP assembler. 

I have some on microdrive and some on cassette I think. Has anyone got
any tips? Last time I tried [~10-15 years ago] the cassettes were
generally OK but the tape in the microdrives had stuck together on some.
The pressure foam had rotted as well but that was easy to fix. Should I
change /can I get new pinch wheels?

Another question. Is there a way to write Z80 assembler in Windows and
assemble it into like a .tap file or something?

Nice tip about the "Start in" property.

Thanks to everyone for the advice.

Hi!

Message-ID: <vxeiw9fgl8la$.dlg@news.bartheld.net> might help.

For MDV cartridges, I had success removing the felt/foam from the little
brass pressure spring (tweezers), cleaning the surfaces as good as possible
(isopropylic alcohol). Then replace the foam with DIY double sided
adhesive foam tape, something like
- https://www.amazon.de/doppelseitiges-SchaumKlebeband-9515W-wei%C3%9F-8021684551635/dp/B002ZXWUEY
- https://www.klebeshop24.de/Schaumklebeband-doppelseitig-1-mm-Dicke ,
whatever is available. Should be around 1mm thick. Use the old felt ontop.

Most likely, your cartridges will work again, mechanically. Logically these
media suffer from the dreaded "magnetic print through" problem BASF Super
Chrome Tapes are infamous for. E. g. one tape layer magnetizes the layer
ontop/below after some time. My data was corrupted in most cases, at least
using the Microdrive's standard hardware to read the cartridges.

You could use just the drive mechanics, digitize the bitstream directly
from the drive head(s - it's Stereo) with a measurement amplifier/ADC and
then run some DSP magic on it to increase SNR again. I stopped at this
point, not enough time.

If you want to investigate yourself:
http://www.worldofspectrum.org/utilities.html ->
http://www.worldofspectrum.org/pub/sinclair/tools/pc/mdv2img.zip

No need to change the pinch wheel(s) in my case.

> Another question. Is there a way to write Z80 assembler in Windows and

Sure. I recommend tniASM (http://tniasm.tni.nl) as preferred assembler.
The .tap-Format ist trivial: http://www.worldofspectrum.org/faq/reference/formats.htm
, it's not even worth writing a tool for it. Say your M/C starts at 32768
and ends at 65545, then prepend the raw binary code with 0x8000 (which
would be the length), then insert your .tap and run

CLEAR 32767
LOAD "" CODE 32768
RANDOMIZE USR 32768

from the emulator.

If you need more comfort, check out bintap (I'm quoting it below, since it
seems to be hard to get) or bas2tap
(http://www.worldofspectrum.org/pub/sinclair/tools/generic/bas2tap26-generic.zip).

From time to time, I use a Sinclair Basic loader to POKE the data (just as
in the old times, when we were typing things from magazines), e.g.

70 RESTORE 1000
80 LET c=0
90 LET a=32768
100
200 PRINT AT 4,0;"Loading machine code..."
210 FOR i=1000 TO 1999
220 READ h$
230 PRINT AT 5,0;h$
240 FOR j=1 TO LEN h$ STEP 2
250 LET s$=h$(j)
260 GO SUB 800
270 LET v=16*s
280 LET s$=h$(j+1)
290 GO SUB 800
300 LET v=v+s
310 POKE a,v
320 LET c=c+v
330 LET a=a+1
340 NEXT j
350 NEXT i
360
400 IF c=<yourchecksum_here> THEN GO TO 500
410 PRINT "Checksum ",c," incorrect."
420 STOP
430
500 PRINT "Checksum ",c," OK."
510 PAUSE 0
520 RANDOMIZE USR 32768
520
900 REM Machine Code Data
1000 DATA "00000000000000000000000000000000"
1001 REM 16 hex bytes in every line...
