About
The aim of this project is ability to use files from ZX Spectrum emulators directly on original ZX Spectrum without modification of these files. There are lot's of ZX Spectrum programs and games in various formats on the internet and is not easy to use it on real Spectrum. This project is writen in Z80 assembler and runs on ZX Spectrum with IDE interface (most of IDE harddiscs, CDROMs, ATAPI ZIPdrives and CFs can be attached to this interface). Emulator files are stored on ISO9660 filesystem which is easy to understand and implement. ISOs can be stored on CDROMs (as usual) or stored like images on HD, CF and ZIPdrive.
Features:
- automatic detection of IDE devices (works)
- "search iso" function for images stored on HD/CF/ZIPdrv (works)
- comfortable file browser and selector (works)
- .tap files viewer (lists content of .tap file) (works)
- full support for loading .z80 files (all versions) (works)
- support for loading .sna files (works)
- "tape emulator" for .tap files, files contained in .tap file will be loaded like files from casette tape (works)
- support for .pok files (contain cheats for games) (works)
- viewer for ZX Spectrum pictures (VRAM snapshots) (works)
- text file viewer (planned)
- save to .tap and .z80(planned)
