I tend to agree with Andy's assessment - an interesting idea to keep in the back of the mind when considering further additions to MEMU, rather than something immediate. I want to get the GUI Launcher reasonably finished before embarking on any more Memotech projects, then MEMU-Pi needs revisiting ....

I may regret raising this, however ... I have been following the discussion of Martin Allcorn's MAGROM, and was idly contemplating what would be involved in adding it to MEMU. I wasn't sure whether it added enough to be worthwhile as MEMU can already run all the games. But that lead to the idea of a...

Dave,

That is what comes of trying to support multiple versions of Python without adequate test facilities.

You are officially designated beta tester. Try this version.

Bill.

By popular request, remember the last selected configuration. Other than that, only minor tidy up.

Dave, since you are now hosting this, should I continue to post updates here or is it easier if I just email updates to you?

Is it possible that your lines of white blocks are simply due to a stuck key auto-repeating? I can't remember what character the function keys produce on the screen.

Hi Lez, I'm certainly interested. Dave has posted a couple of my Memotech related hardware projects, and I have built myself a couple of simple Z80 based boards in the past. However I am not sure that I have the free time at the moment to follow along more than theoretically. I already have too many...

Bother, Andy's code does concatenate the tape-dir and the run-file, but only if the run file is *.mtx. The attached code is a quick work around, it can probably be improved. Other features that I know are missing at the moment: * Loading ROMS * Selecting emulated disks * Loading into arbitrary memor...

Dave, The Tape Dir entry sets the directory for the '-tape-dir' switch in MEMU. This is the directory from which tapes are loaded when you do LOAD "filename" from MTX BASIC. The Run File option sets the final filename that is passed to MEMU at the end of the command line without a switch. ...

A first quick hack at a launcher. It is certainly missing features and may contain bugs. I have done (limited) testing on Linux with Python 2.7. It should also work on Windows. I think (hope?) that it will also work with Python 3.x. Linuxen should already have Python installed, but may need to insta...

The BASIC ROM includes an undocumented function FREE(). I guess that it was intended to return the amount of free memory, but in practice it just duplicates one of the other functions (EXP if memory serves me). Lack of space in the ROM for the extra code?
