CAPRICE32 4.2 LIBRETRO DEBUG VERSION WIP

 
What?: A quick port of caprice32-4.2.0 to LIBRETRO.
Why? : It was the first computer i own.
Who? : Rtype

All the credit of the caprice32 Emulator to Ulrich Doewich Also 6128.h & amsdos.h (and psg for ps3 )files taken from wiituka (author:dantoine) http://code.google.com/p/wiituka/

And of course for the RetroArch/Libretro team : "http://www.libretro.org/"

You can download the caprice32 original source code here : http://sourceforge.net/projects/caprice32/

It's a quick hack. At this time , works the basis but buggy on linux / android / PS3.

Remember ,Everything not working well, It's a debug release , so expect bugs.

Compile:

Go to linux directory, and type make .

Usage:

Launch retroarch , select a startup dsk/sna , and cap32 sould boot.

Control:

- Joy/Overlay

L2  STATUS ON/OFF
R2  SND ON/OFF
L   ZOOM/DEL
R   RESET
SEL ENTER
STR VKBD ON/OFF
A   FIRE/VKBD KEY
B   RUN
X   CAT
Y   LOAD DSK

- In vkbd page 2 

"EXT" EXIT EMU
"SNA" SAVE SNA
"DSK" SWITCH DSK DRIVE A/B
"Col" SWTICH FGCOL ON/OFF

Core options: Autorun - disable/enable

    If enabled a RUN"DISK command will be done at startup. To make it
    work with your games, you need to create a DISK.BAS file on the
    game disk that. Currently this needs to be done using a different
    Amstrad emulator as libretro-cap32 currently does not save changes
    to disk files.

    Follow these steps using a different Amstrad emulator:
    1. Load the emulator and mount your game disk file
    2. Type "CAT" at the BASIC prompt and find the name of the game
       file on the disk. Usually it's an abbreviation of the game. For
       this example I will use Boulderdash which has a game file on
       the disk called BOULDER.BAS								
    3. At the BASIC prompt type:
         10 RUN"BOULDER.BAS
         SAVE "DISK.BAS"

    When Autorun is enabled DISK.BAS will be launched at startup which
    will then run the real game file.

Knows Bugs:

- Everything not working well, It's a debug release , so expect to more bug.
