klive

Spectrum emulator/IDO, Work in progress (10/2020)

The emulator boot until the prompt is displayed
(c) 1982 Sinclair Reseach Ltd

The keyboard is now working.
Almost all is working, but the zx still crashes.

Still a few work to do before the emulator is 100% ok

Attempt to create a modern and powerful for
the old and excellent ZX Spectrum IDE
But the spectrum is booting.

Modern all in one IDE

All in one tool (except the C compiler)
Z80 Asm included with syntax colored editor
C compiler (external)
Resource editor (Sprites)
Real time compilation / execution of project

Debugger
ROM RAM viewer
ROM/RAM Disassembler Routines labels (custom)

ZX 48 Emulator (mine, so it won’t be so accurate but should play games)
-> I hope with enhanced tools like stack overflow detection etc…
Zx Screen emulation (missing borders)
Some useless so essential gadgets (clock, lines -> for UI Architecture tests)

And if all is working as expected, I’ll enhance the project
with common features

Plugins
Tap / Tzx loader
128K
Printer emulation
ZX Interface 1 emulation
Internet direct games downloads with search tool

Dependencies

nix / nixos : the easiest and preferred way
I’m strongly advise one to use nixos or nix in order to build klive.
After having installed nix-os, you just have to run the following commands:

nix-shell -p git
git clone https://github.com/hsaturn/klive.git
cd klive && git submodule init && git submodule update
nix-shell
mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. -G Ninja && ninja
./klive

Kubuntu
I’ve built successfully klive under Kubuntu (after having upgraded to Qt6 which was a one way upgrade).

use apt-file search if needed
