Hi Alfi you say? That's just 2x steppers and a pen hooked up to parallel port. Have its box still in my drawer. ;) Any new ideas can be documented in the official sourceforge project. Feel free to open a ticket there. If the provided file format is a snapshot file that is to be just loaded into speccy memory, that is not that hard. Done that already. If on other hand it needs emulating hw and loading that file into it, that is more work. And there is also the problem that additional hw might not be accepted into the base fuse app. Especially if it is a local hw, not used widely. In such a case it can be made available only within a fork.. just like i made one in github. Anyway i think this discussion is now off the original question ;) Miro Dňa ut 11. 2. 2025, 22:05 Tomáš <to...@vo...> napísal(a): > D40 is emulated for many years.

D40 is emulated for many years. The first version, with WD2797 controller. I am looking for some further development too. For example low level microdrive cartridge format, like ZEsarUX has. LEC and Sinsoft memory extensions. Plotter device (Alfi). I can provide the technical docs to developers, but I am not enough experienced in Fuse internal structure to code it by myself. Here is the description of ZEsarUX .mdv file format for example- The first 256 bytes is a header: offset Description 0 “RAWMDV” 6 bytes 6 -Version. byte. current: 0 7 -Creator: 30 bytes. String ended with 0 byte (0 final optional). Example “ZEsarUX 11.1-SN” 37 -Machine: What machine uses this microdrive. String ended with 0 byte (0 final optional). 20 bytes: examples: “Spectrum” “QL” 57 19 bytes. -Date: 19 bytes. String ended with 0 byte (0 final optional) “DD/MM/AAAA HH:MM:SS” 76-79 Usage counter, times the microdrive has been full read (times the header position has passed position 0). Unsigned integer 32 bits, little endian 80-255 Reserved. Set to 0 After the header comes the data and then the type of all data. For example, for a 90 KB raw microdrive, here it comes: 90 KB of data: just the raw data 90 KB of type for all the data: every position of data can be: gap or data. And also, every position can be marked as "bad position" (emulating a microdrive with sections of data that can't be written or read). Every one of this data type is a mask of bits, currently only bits 0 and 1 are used: Bit 0: Data or Gap. If set bit, it's a data. If not, it's a gap Bit 1: Bad position. If set, it's a bad position. If not, it's a "good" position For example if the first 5 bytes of data are: Gap, Gap, Data, Data, Data+Bad, the data types will be: 00, 00, 01, 01, 03 Following the same 90 KB example, the total size of the RMD file will be: 256+92160+92160=184576 bytes Omikron Dne 11.02.2025 v 8:09 Miroslav Arki napsal(a): > If interested I have a fork on github, look for arki55.

Hi, Yes, the mailinglist is still active. I can see your emails. Unfortunately the evolution stalled around 2020. From my observations release must be done by the original author, which however did not do much in last years. There were some changes accepted by second author, but even with him the possibilities are limited. Some of My pull requests were not processed or commented in 2 years. Some were thou. I myself am a newcomer to this project. Have ideas, but lost time to be able to work on them either. For basic usage old version still does the job. And who has a problem, usually has also the remedy and can build it. If interested I have a fork on github, look for arki55. Unmerged stuff is only around Didaktik 128k with floppy D40 thou. I've created github workflows for auto building multiple versions within PRs, also created workflow for nightly builds. Limited to win32 packages only thou. It is still glitchy, needs the final kick.. I still keep the hope that speccy users did not die out yet and so believe there will still be some further evolution in the future.

Sorry, I only just saw this as it went into my spam folder. Thanks for adding to the bug report. I didn't realise until after I posted that there are a lot more command line switches than are provided by the propgram help text, to the point where I could probably reproduce my examples using a script similar to yours.

I agree that it would be nice to have a better way to select the location of the configuration file. It could be as simple as a flag (--configfile ~/.fuserc-48k) or an environment variable (FUSE_EMULATOR_CONFIG_FILE=$HOME/.fuserc-48k). Related bug report: https://sourceforge.net/p/fuse-emulator/patches/443/ > It would be nice to be able to quickly choose whether you want (for > instance) a standard 48 set up (ie. for Microdrives), standard 128 > for daily use, +3e for disk manipulation or Pentagon for watching > demos. > > I realise I can do some file jiggery-pokery by replacing .fuserc but > having it native would be awesome You can also do that without having to replace .fuserc if you use a separate launcher script or shell alias / function. For example I have this in ~/.bashrc: fuse-slowtape () { fuse --no-detect-loader --no-auto-load --no-traps \ --no-fastload --no-accelerate-loader "$@" } Berto |

Hi, would it be possible to allow multiple 'profiles' by being able to select the config file via a command line switch? It would be nice to be able to quickly choose whether you want (for instance) a standard 48 set up (ie. for Microdrives), standard 128 for daily use, +3e for disk manipulation or Pentagon for watching demos. I realise I can do some file jiggery-pokery by replacing .fuserc but having it native would be awesome Thanks! Adam |

Hi Berto, sounds good to me. Wait some days for more opinions and apply for that key, barring objections. I can upload it to sf.net Thank you for your efforts. Cheers, Sergio |

Hi, as you know the Fuse emulator has been available in Flathub (the main Flatpak "app store") for many years and it has been doing reasonably well with an average of 30 downloads per day (numbers similar to FS-UAE or Vice): https://flathub.org/apps/net.sf.fuse_emulator One small thing that I would like to do is mark the app as "Verified", which means that it was published or approved by the original developers. There are two things that need to be done: 1. Change the Flatpak ID to represent the actual canonical URL of the project's home page. I cannot verify the app with the current "net.sf..." name. This is something that I can handle completely on my own and is not a problem. 2. I have to prove control over the home page. This means that I have to create a file at this URL: https://fuse-emulator.sourceforge.net/.well-known/org.flathub.VerifiedApps.txt The file simply needs to contain an alphanumerical id provided by Flathub, and no further action is needed. So if this all sounds good to you I would only need someone with access to the project's home page to create the file with the ID that I will provide (I need to apply for it first, but I wanted to confirm with you before proceeding). Regards, Berto |

It's entirely different. Spectranet's W5100 has hardware packet buffers etc so is much easier to emulate. Everything the IF1 does is bit banged on the wire by the CPU. |

Don't know about zx-net particularly, but I have invested significant time to support Spectranet, which is a different cartridge, but I assume does similar thing. See my fusex fork on speccytools.org regular fuse also supports it but it's buggy and cumbersome. Other emulators like es.pectrum also support it.

Can anyone advise on the status of the ZX-Net emulation in the Interface 1 code? There's a bit of chat in one of the Spectrum forums about getting a couple of Fuse instances talking (same host), and someone has opened up a feature request ticket (#153). It looks to me like there's code already there, but it's not documented, and it's not clear how to use it, if it works, or if it ever worked. Does anyone know where this feature got to? |

Hi all, I still have a ZX Sinclair Spectrum along with an alphacom 32 thermal printer and a microdrive (no idea whether they still work). I don't use them as Fuse is much more convenient, but I was wondering if donating it do the developers would make sense. If you're interested, I'd be happy to send them to aid the advancement of the project. Best regards. |

Hello, everyone! After a few weeks of (successful) testing I would like to ask the wider audience to join me. Recently I came up with a patch enabling FUSE to interface with any serial device (or a pair of FIFOs) presenting those as I/O Port 14 of the AY 8912. Not all emulators are able to do the same: https://sourceforge.net/p/fuse-emulator/patches/442/ If you have few minutes to spare, I’d appreciate you reviewing the proposed change and sharing your opinion. Thank a lot! |

Hello everyone, first time here so let me introduce myself: I'm an italian developer really loving FUSE and using it daily. I'm also an OS/2 old time enthusiast and I'm porting software in my spare time. I just gave a shot at FUSE 1.6.0 and got a somehow working executable using GCC 9.2 and SDL interface, but the executable crashes with the error fuse: error: font contains invalid character fuse: error initialising -- giving up! Wondering what may be the culprit, without any clue on that. The font file is currently present and untouched. I configured the source package like this and make worked like a charm after giving the correct location for libspectrum files. Is there something I can do to debug the problem? Do I have to do something to the font file in order to use it? Thanks in andvance, Mentore Siesto |

In ManicMiner.tzx.zip archive there is a ManicMiner.tzx or "Manic Miner.tzx" file, you need this file. You can unzip the archive from command line: unzip ManicMiner.tzx.zip. Now you should see: Archive: ManicMiner.tzx.zip inflating: Manic Miner.tzx Now you can open the tzx file more than one way: - File->Open "Manic Miner.tzx" .. now tape loaded automatically and the game start up. - Media->Tape->Open "Manic Miner.tzx" .. now you have to type LOAD "" and [ENTER] (J, Ctrl-P, ctrl-P, ENTER) .. now tape loaded and the game started If you want to hear/see the original loading sound/effects and border stripping, etc. you have to unset three option: - Options->Media->Fastloading - Options->Media->Use tape traps - Options->Media->Accelerate loaders If you uncheck the Options->Media->Detect Loaders than you have to control manually the tape player: - Type LOAD "" - Media->Tape->Play A 48k game normal loading time from tape is around 10' :) On the irc://irc.oftc.net:6667 we have a #fuse-emulator irc channel (quite empty nowadays...): Best regards, Gergely > _______________________________________________ > fuse-emulator-devel mailing list > fus...@li... > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fuse-emulator-devel |

Silly question - did you do LOAD “” command in the Spectrum, after you did the tape steps you mentioned? > On 25 Apr 2024, at 03:19, Bill Blasingim <bla...@be...> wrote: > > I'm interested in learning something about the ZX Spectrum. More than just games, but I have to start somewhere. I've worked with many emulators. I installed fuse from my Linux distros software manager, it's version 1.6.0. I've read and watched videos. It seems very straightforward. I have the 48.rom. I watched a video that played Manic Miner. So I downloaded that in both tap and tzx format. Like the video I do File>Open>ManicMiner.tzx.zip.

Hi, it should just work as you say. Maybe you don't have "Auto-load media" enabled in Options -> Media ? I would also like to point out that this mailing list is for the development of Fuse. For general questions about the Spectrum, how to use emulators, load software, etc, I recommend you to have a look at the Spectrum Computing forums, which are very active and where you will find more people who can help you: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/ Welcome to the Spectrum world :-) Regards, Berto |
