USAGE
------

The in-game menu allows you to insert tapes, load them and configure the display, joysticks etc.
The easiest way to play a game is to load a snapshot (.z80 and .sna files).
You can also insert a tape file (.tap and .tzx) and then load the file in the tape menu (it simulates the command Load "").

If you have problems with a .tap file, likely the TAP file has a program which uses a custom routine to load the blocks; in this case, try to disable the "Tap instant load" function.

If you want to speed up the tape file loading (both for .tzx file and .tap file with "tap instant load" disabled), try to enable "auto turbo mode" which speeds up the emulator while loading.

2012-07-29 11:13:42 +02:00
It is possible to set precision emulation required by some demo graphic programs. Turbo mode is disable in this mode.
2012-05-27 20:10:11 +02:00
The general preferences are saved (joystick type, machine, buttons bindings, etc.) from the main in-game menu and they are loaded on start-up.
2012-05-01 15:48:29 +02:00
2012-12-30 18:52:21 +01:00
You can also save the game preferences which can be automatically loaded with the tape/snapshot if the related option is set.
2012-05-27 20:10:11 +02:00
2013-01-06 22:49:53 +01:00
If you save the screen shots they will appear on the screen during the menu navigation.
2012-08-31 08:52:26 +02:00
You can also load a file from a usb disk, from your PC and from Internet via FTP using a wi-fi connection. For the wi-fi you should set the parameters in fbzx.net file.
