RE: Vexed - Robert - 29-06-2022
I logged out so that I could download it. What process is used to load the .tap file? Is the .dsk file a conventional CPC-EMU one?
RE: Vexed - ChickenMan - 29-06-2022
Yes the DSK is a standard Microbee CPC-EMU style image and it runs fine under MAME (just tried as a Prem 128k).
For a TAP file, with ubee512, if you use
ubee512 ic --tapfilei=vexed.tap
and when at the Basic prompt, just type in LOAD and hit Return and it it instantly loads and starts running. I dont see any option in MAME to load TAP files.
RE: Vexed - Robert - 01-07-2022
Thanks for the info. MAME microbee emulation has no support for tap files - I assume it's a ubee512-specific thing.

So there lies the challenge to add TAP file loading to MAME for the Microbee
RE: Vexed - Under4Mhz - 29-07-2022
I'd just be happy with the Mame colours being correct.
RE: Vexed - Robert - 04-08-2022
What's wrong with them?
RE: Vexed - Under4Mhz - 07-08-2022
In Mame it's white and in uBee it's grey.
Dark yellow is much lighter in Mame and more brown in uBee.
RE: Vexed - Robert - 09-08-2022
I can see there's a difference between the 2 emulators, but can someone with a real Microbee determine which one is correct?

When using ubee512 someone uses the fine tuning colour adjustment CLI params when needed.
Code:
ubee512.exe --model=p128k --monitor=colour --video-type=gl --rgb-03-r=0 --rgb-03-g=192 --rgb-03-b=192RE: Vexed - ChickenMan - 09-08-2022
Ran on my Prem 128k with CGA to VGA Microbee converter to VGA screen. Lighting wasnt the best but the white/gray was somewhere in between both to a light gray like at the bottom row.
