Using the #Zesarux emulator in #JupiterACE #emulation mode and defining some high-level words to handle strings ...

I can see why this machine, in hindsight, has probably been one of the best ways to learn #Forth in its day as it comes with just enough words in its dictionary to get you going. It's a very compact vocabulary:

No ACCEPT, no MOVE and no 2DUP or even HEX - you need them, you write them yourself.

But this is what sharpens your skills and gives you a very good understanding of the bottom-up method.

Boy, I love this machine and its compatible remake, the #Minstrel4th

ZEsarUX 12.1, un multi émulateur qui envoie du lourd !

#Amstrad #CPC development environment is almost set up!

I've got #VSCode, #z88dk, #cpcxfs and #ZEsarUX working together nicely with a Makefile to compile C code, create a disk and automatically launch the emulator with the disk inserted.

I need to look at assembly next.

Playing with #ZEsarUX

Turned on Full Screen mode. Which was a mistake - it sent my monitor into "out of range" and I couldn't recover / exit the emulator.

No matter - I rebooted and assumed all would be well. It wasn't; The dodgy screen settings were retained, so I had to restart the machine again, log in as another user, and figure out what to do. Not too difficult as it turns out:

1/2

Whilst searching for something totally unrelated, I came across #ZEsarUX - a multi machine emulator. It emulates many Sinclair machines, Amstrads and others. Now I need to learn about the Jupiter Ace, CPC464, 6128 and many, many more.

A really easy build, too. Took about 10 seconds.

9bitcolor presents: Atic Atac Remake, for the #ZXSpectrumNext
Reported not to work on emulators currently, but I would expect #ZEsarUX to catch up soon!

Hopefully the release of quality games such as this one will encourage more people to embrace the Next and/or one of the more accessible Next-compatible computers such as the #N_GO and the #ZXTRES.
