Shows memory as pictures. Width W is in pixels and is rounded to whole bytes: 8 pixels (ZX, VGA), 2 pixels (EGA, 16C) or 1 pixel (256C). Height follows window.
Live view: memory is redrawn 25 times a second while emulator runs; in debugger stopped state is shown.

Modes

ZX

1 bit per pixel, square pixels

VGA

1 bit per pixel, narrow (640×200)

EGA

ATM 320×200, 16 colors, 2 pixels per byte

16C

TS-Conf 16 colors, 2 pixels per byte (high nibble first); a bitmap line is 256 bytes, W 512. Colors: CRAM with gfx palette of PalSel (other machines: grey levels)

256C

TS-Conf 256 colors, 1 pixel per byte (CRAM)

Emulator keys

REST API

Start a machine, disks and programs from a link: Tools / REST API link (? there lists every parameter).

PC keyboard → ZX

ATM mode (XT keyboard) → ZX

Turbo 2+, xBIOS, ZX Evo BaseConf with ATM mode on (XT icon, bottom left): keys go to ATM keyboard controller. CP/M and other ATM programs get PC keys; ZX programs get ZX keys from controller's own table. On-screen XT panel sends same keys as real keyboard.

Files

Two panels, each on drive: A: / B: (TR-DOS, ATM CP/M, Profi CP/M .PRO, iS-DOS floppies), HDD 0 / 1 (ATM CP/M, iS-DOS or FAT drives), SD card (FAT), RAM (scratch disk for this session, 16 MB, with folders), Browser (the browser storage of Save / Load: kept for the next visits), Local server (the folder opened in Load / Local server, with its folders; read only). Active panel has orange frame; changes go to image right away (drive gets * mark: save it with Save).

Enter, double click

open folder; run file (TR-DOS on A:, CP/M .COM): machine is reset; disk image (TRD, SCL, FDI, UDI, TD0, ISD, PRO, DSK, IPF) on HDD / SD card / RAM: mount into drive A: or B:; a ZIP not on A: / B:: into a drive as Load takes it (its disk, or an HDD / SD image)

Files / Download Files

downloads files to host (one file as is; folders and multiple files as zip or one by one)

Files / Upload Files

uploads files from host (drop supported, files can be zipped); from zip iS-DOS, FAT and RAM keep folders, TR-DOS and CP/M take all files into one place, names cut

Disks / New Disk

empty floppy (TR-DOS, CP/M, iS-DOS), HDD (CP/M, iS-DOS, FAT16 / FAT32) or SD card image

Disks / HDD Remaster

remastering HDD image (stores zip with image and its .chs)

ext / name / size

sort of panel (right of its header): folders first; ext: by extension, then by name; size: largest first

Compile (sjasmplus)

F9 (Compile) assembles the file under the cursor with sjasmplus: it is the main source, its folder with its subfolders is the project (on any drive: RAM, SD card, HDD, a disk). INCLUDE / INCBIN paths are relative to the including file. The result goes to RAM disk, into the folder named as the main file: the files of SAVEBIN, SAVESNA, SAVETAP, SAVETRD, SAVEHOB, OUTPUT…, the listing (.lst), the labels (.sym) and the messages (.log); files with the same names are replaced. On errors the log opens in the viewer. Copy the result where needed (F5), Enter on .sna / .trd runs it. Upload a project to RAM: Files / Upload Files (a ZIP keeps its folders).

Names

TR-DOS: 8 characters + type; CP/M and iS-DOS: 8.3; FAT: long names (NAME~1.EXT short name is added).

Split files (long file cut into parts with same name): shown as NAME.001, NAME.002…; copy joins them into one file (S3M, MOD, ZIP… by contents, otherwise BIN), except onto TR-DOS. File over 255 sectors copied or put onto TR-DOS is split same way.

Live graphs, updated twice a second. Big number is current value, line below explains it.

Z80 code at

Where Z80 runs its code: 64K address space as 4 banks of 16K (page in each bank is signed), 1K blocks glow by how often program counter is there. Big number: hottest block. Below: share of time in ROM / RAM, busy = part of frame CPU is not halted.

Host

How much of real time this browser spends emulating. Below: milliseconds per emulated frame (20 ms = real time limit).

Memory

RAM as map of 16K pages: written pages glow, pages mapped into Z80 address space now are outlined. Big number: pages written since last update.

Disk

Share of frames with floppy drive busy (reading or writing).

I/O

Z80 port accesses per frame (IN + OUT).

Frames

Emulated frames per second: 50 is real time; red above dashed line = faster than real time (Max speed, turbo).

Local file

Choose File, a file dropped on the screen and the files of Local server go the same way. Disks go into A:, HDD images into HDD 0, SD card images onto the SD card. B:, the ROM disk and HDD 1: Options / Disk.

Autostart off: the file is only mounted (Load stays open). A file for another machine (+3 disk, SPG, TS-Conf card) still switches it.

Browser storage

The files Save put into this browser (Where: Browser storage), the newest first; only in this browser on this device (clearing the site's data removes them). File Commander shows them as the drive Browser.

Local server

A folder of a web server on your network: its files open as Local file (the same Autostart). Once opened, File Commander shows it as the drive Local server (read only).

Server list

The entries of trd/trd.json, then hdd/hdd.json, then sd/sd.json, each as written: an image or an OS is written once, in its list (hdd.json / sd.json). An entry may have both: "url" (its image: Mount, and Options / Disk) and "run" (a link: Run), e.g. {"name": "NedoOS", "url": "nedoos.zip", "run": "?model=nedoos", "tag": "SD OS"}. A file with no folder is in the list's folder. Tag buttons: the entries with any of the chosen tags (several at once); All: every entry. In these files a line that starts with # is a comment.

Unsaved changes of a disk, HDD or SD card that a load replaces: you are asked first (Run: once, with the machine it switches to).

Media

The machine and what is mounted now; * = changed, not saved. ⏏ ejects (as in Options / Disk). Settings (at its title): Options / Disk.

Link to this page with parameters starts a machine as set: index.html?model=pentagon&fdd=a:trd/game.trd&run=game. Parameters may also follow #. Paths are on this site; full URL of another site works when that site allows it (CORS, e.g. raw.githubusercontent.com). What a link sets is not stored: visitor's own settings stay (only sd= switches Z-Controller on).

Parameters

rom=: one machine for everyone

1. Options / System / Custom ROM: Select ROM, machine, slots (e.g. Quick Commander in 128), Start.
2. Set clock; Options / Disk: Accurate FDD, HDD interface.
3. Save / Custom ROM: ZIP with ROM and its .json.
4. Put ZIP on this site or on GitHub, link: ?rom=rom/my_machine.zip (or rom=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/…/my_machine.zip). Other parameters (fdd=, hdd0=, run=…) work with it.

.json in ZIP

speed, fdd, hdd and ini keys win over what visitor has set in Options, while this machine runs. Order: link, then ZIP, then visitor's settings — speed= in link wins over speed of ZIP; HDD image from hdd= whose .chs has Interface= switches that interface on, over hdd of ZIP. Save / Custom ROM writes speed, fdd and hdd as machine runs now.
