Guest amo Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 has been mentioned many times before, by yourself on a number of occasions if i remember properly. How exactly did you want to emulate one of these when the input required would need a full keyboard. Unless users had the keyboard accessory there would be no point.

Guest Deemon Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 even then does the keyboard support multiple keypresses ? Youd need that for a speccy emu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest midnight Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 erm, not if you only wanna emulate games you wouldnt need a full keyboard at all, only some way of mapping keys on a game per game basis (eg, q=up, a=down, o=left, p=right, 1=space etc.) then save the settings for each game. i dont think a speccy emu is out of the question if its just for game use. of course, one way to do it would be to maybe pick a few games (including manic miner of course) and then make an emulator for that specific game (so would include emulator+game in one exe, larger than what the game would need to be, but what the hell, that way the keys could be mapped properly at least. just a thought :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest amo Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 But even then, there needs to be a multiple keypress to initialise the loading of the game. For example run a game or basic program on a cpc 464 you had to press ctrl+del+enter (i think it was that anyway, cant remember now exactly) and then the game would load.

Guest midnight Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 erm, not necessarily, all spectrum games load in the same way, all you need is a menu command that is 'load rom' the code would then load and run that rom, same as any cartridge. and hey, if the gba can do it, so can the SPV ;P http://www.gameboy-advance.net/emulated/z8...roms_on_gba.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest benjymous Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 Lots of spectrum games for emulators are distributed as memory dumps anyway, rather than a rip of the tape, so the user would never even have to see the spectrum basic screen And yeah, if the GBA can do it, so can the smartphone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Croccy22 Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 I agree with midnight on this one. Nearly all spectrum games run on q,a,o,p and space. Also nearly all spectum roms are snapshots of the game in a loaded state so there is no need to type load"" or plug in a tape player! I have played on the spectrum emulator for the ps2 which uses the standard controller and that works perfect, Also one for the gameboy color which worked well. I would love a speccy emulator for the spv and in theory it should copy well with 128k emulation and even sound as the speccy doesn't require a fast pc to emulate it. I used to run a 128k emualtor on my 286sx33. If I had any clue of how to port something like this I would love to but I really wouldn't know where to start at the moment. I tried running up the source in it's current state and the graphcis where corrupted and the phone crashed. Thats all I know. So come on someone out there must get this working. Chaos:Battle of the Wizards on the smartphone. That would be COOL!! Matt PS @Benjymous > When were you born?? I was born in royal leamington spa hospital on 22nd november 1979. Might have seen you there!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
