klive

Spectrum emulator/IDO, Work in progress (10/2020)

The emulator boot until the prompt is displayed (c) 1982 Sinclair Reseach Ltd

The keyboard is now working. Almost all is working, but the zx still crashes.

Still a few work to do before the emulator is 100% ok

Attempt to create a modern and powerful for the old and excellent ZX Spectrum IDE But the spectrum is booting.

Planned features : planned, * in progress, > done)

• Modern all in one IDE

• All in one tool (except the C compiler)
• Z80 Asm included with syntax colored editor
• C compiler (external)
• Resource editor (Sprites)
• Real time compilation / execution of project

Debugger ROM RAM viewer ROM/RAM Disassembler Routines labels (custom)

• ZX 48 Emulator (mine, so it won't be so accurate but should play games) -> I hope with enhanced tools like stack overflow detection etc...
• Zx Screen emulation (missing borders)
• Some useless so essential gadgets (clock, lines -> for UI Architecture tests)

And if all is working as expected, I'll enhance the project with common features

• Plugins
• Tap / Tzx loader
• 128K
• Printer emulation
• ZX Interface 1 emulation
• Internet direct games downloads with search tool

Dependencies

nix / nixos : the easiest and preferred way I'm strongly advise one to use nixos or nix in order to build klive. After having installed nix-os, you just have to run the following commands:

nix-shell -p git
git clone https://github.com/hsaturn/klive.git
cd klive && git submodule init && git submodule update
nix-shell
mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. -G Ninja && ninja
./klive

Kubuntu I've built successfully klive under Kubuntu (after having upgraded to Qt6 which was a one way upgrade).

use apt-file search if needed
