uses Z80 core by Ketmar
IMPORTANT: the project consumes a lot of RAM, to allow enough set
- SSL Support to Basic
- IwIP to Lower memory (no features)
- Use 160 MHz for much better performance.
- Make sure all the display driver and pin comnenctions are correct by editting the User_Setup.h file in the TFT_eSPI library folder.
- Set SPI_FREQUENCY to 39000000 for best performance.
- Games should be uploaded into SPIFFS as 48K .z80 snapshots (v1,v2,v3)
- You can create such snapshots using ZXSPIN emulator
- You can also put a 6912 byte screen with the exact same name to be displayed before game
- You can provide an optional controls configuration file to provide convinient way to control a game. Such file has extension of .cfg, it is a plain text file that contains a string 8 characters long. The characters may represent a key A-Z, 0-9, _ for space, $ for Enter, @ for CS, # for SS Warning! This file overrides manual controls selection in file manager
- The order of characters is UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT,ACT,ESC,LFT,RGT for example: QAOPM_0$ I.e. a game file set may look like:
- game.z80 - snapshot
- game.scr - splash screen in native ZX Spectrum format
