It has been ported from the +excellent X Window Unix emulator xtrs. Instead of using the X-Window +system for graphics, it uses the portable SDL library. + +This build uses SDL-2.0, which is designed for newer machines. If you +have an older machine, or if sdl2trs doesn't perform well on your +system, try the SDL-1.2 version, sdl2trs. It's possible to install +both sdl2trs and sdl2trs on the same system with no conflicts. + +Note: When you start up sdl2trs for the first time, it attempts +to boot from floppy disk. If you didn't give either the "-disk0 +/path/to/image.dsk" or "-nofloppy" options on the command line, it +will "hang" with a black screen, because it's trying to boot from a +nonexistent floppy disc. To recover from this: + +- Hold down F10 (TRS-80 Reset) and press Escape (TRS-80 Break key) to + skip the disk boot and enter the ROM BASIC. + +- Press Alt+D to enter the emulator's disk menu, and from there, + either select a bootable disk image for drive 0, or disable the + floppy disk controller. Then press Shift-F10 to reboot the TRS-80. + +See the man page and the documentation at +/usr/doc/sdl2trs-$VERSION/html/index.html for further details. |
