Jon's put the v4-5 Z-Machine Interpreter project on hold for a while. The Z-Machine Interpreter is feature-complete for v3 games, though, so we have plenty to be testing and the z3 Inform Development Environment still works a treat too. Here's the latest plan. - Increase number of lines in MODE 0 from 31 to 32 - Split ROM into two versions: 1) BBC Micro Z-Machine Infocom v3-only Interpreter Model B uses MODE 7 only, with remaining memory (after dynamic storage) used as cache Model B+/Master 128 uses shadow MODE 0, with remaining memory (after dynamic storage) used as cache If a v4 or v5 game is loaded, print an error message. 2) BBC Micro B+/Master 128 Z-Machine Infocom v3-5 Interpreter MODE 0 with 2 selectable colours or MODE 1 with 4 selectable colours Will use all 64K of sideways RAM for dynamic storage plus all main memory for cache. |
