Description
sZ81 is a Sinclair ZX80/ZX81 emulator very much based upon the work of Ian
Collier's xz80 and Russell Marks's z81 but employing the highly portable SDL
and including additional functionality and features for desktop computers and
portable devices.
Features:
* Virtual keyboard with adjustable opacity, autohide on newline,
sticky shift or toggle shift
* Control bar with access to several regularly used options
* Runtime options including a joystick configurator
* Joystick control remapping within the emulator
* Full keyboard, mouse and joystick support throughout
* Runtime switchable scaling up to 3x on supported platforms
* Toggling between a window and fullscreen on supported platforms
* Support for portrait orientated screens such as 240x320 and 480x640
* The ability to run centred within any resolution
* Maximum porting potential since it only requires SDL

Controls
[PRINT SCREEN](win32 only) will save the screen in the “screen00.bmp” file.
Page 4/26
sZ81 – Zx80 and Zx81 Emulator.
Clicking the screen (or F1) brings up the virtual keyboard and the
control bar giving access to several very useful options. These are listed
below alongside their keyboard equivalents :-
Page 5/26
sZ81 – Zx80 and Zx81 Emulator.
To access the ZX81's file selector type "J", SHIFT + "P" twice and newline
from within the emulator. For the ZX80 simply type LOAD or SAVE to access
the file zx80prog.p located within the current working directory.

Configuring a Joystick
Page 7/26
sZ81 – Zx80 and Zx81 Emulator.
When the virtual keyboard is visible, position the selector over the function
that you would like to assign to a joystick control and press the control
remapper (the selector will blink). Then press a joystick control to remap the
function to the control.
Existing controls that have been remapped are active within the emulator
(you cannot remap GUI controls) and new controls are universally active. It is
possible to include the SHIFT modifier within the control as long as it is active
before you initiate remapping. To cancel remapping press the control
remapper again.

File Selector
The Amiga build uses standard ASL requesters instead of sZ81's built-in
file selector. It will also allow choosing a ZX80 file instead of being hard-coded
to zx80prog.o

Installation
To function correctly sz81 expects to find the zx80.rom and zx81.rom ROMs
which are not included within the source package.
You might find them at ftp://ftp.nvg.ntnu.no/pub/sinclair/roms, or perhaps
through searching the internet for "zx80.rom" and "zx81.rom".
Extract the sZ81 source package, copy the zx80.rom and zx81.rom ROMs
into the data folder and change into the extracted directory.
Installation:
Just unzipp the binary package in a directory, all files are required to run
sZ81 and never directly double-click on the executable file in a zipped file !
Don't use specifics language (non DOS) symbols in roots or previous
directory ! (In case of “c:/émulateurs/sZ81_Win32/”, prefer “c:/emulateurs/sZ81_Win32”.)
Page 13/26
sZ81 – Zx80 and Zx81 Emulator.
We had to use “ #ifdef “ (if the variable is defined) or “ #ifndef “ (if the
variable is not defined).
Where “#” is the compiler directive.
We use the “-I” (i) command in the “make.exe” compiler to edit the “links
editor”:
-lmingw32 (Set the “mingw32“ include path)
-lSDLmain (Set the “SDLmain“ include path)
-lSDL(Set the “SDL“ include path)
(check your own SDL installation, but the compiler usually set default path is
case of files errors.)

* QS Defender
The version of QS Defender on both WoS and NVG just dumps some Dutch
text at you when you run it. What you have to do to get a runnable version is
delete lines 3 to 18 inclusive - you'll probably want to save it before running, to
save having to do this every time.
And don't forget to run the emulator with `-a q' for sound. :-)

Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to
share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended
to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure
the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to
most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program
whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation
software is covered by
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your
programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom
to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish),
that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change
the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you
can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to
deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or
for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must
make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must
show them these terms so they know their rights.
Page 18/26
sZ81 – Zx80 and Zx81 Emulator.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2)
offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/
or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that
everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the
software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to
know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced
by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered
by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is
not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents
constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by
running the Program).
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
Page 19/26
sZ81 – Zx80 and Zx81 Emulator.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source
code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and
to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a
copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you
may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it,
thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such
modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you
also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole
or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be
licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this
License.
Page 20/26
sZ81 – Zx80 and Zx81 Emulator.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights
to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to
control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and
2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give
any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing
source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding
source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all
the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of
the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed
need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or
binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself
accompanies the executable.
Page 21/26
sZ81 – Zx80 and Zx81 Emulator.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except
as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,
modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically
terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain
in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the
Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program
(or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this
License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or
modifying the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original
licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and
conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients'
exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing
compliance by third parties to this License.
Page 22/26
sZ81 – Zx80 and Zx81 Emulator.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or
other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this
section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software
distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many
people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute
software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be
similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new
problems or concerns.
Page 23/26
sZ81 – Zx80 and Zx81 Emulator.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs
whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for
permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software
Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make
exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving
the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the
sharing and reuse of software generally.

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it
starts in an interactive mode:
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain
conditions; type `show c' for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the
appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you
use may be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could
even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
Here is a sample; alter the names:
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public
License instead of this License.
