On some programs on which the pointer moved correctly, reaching to some part of the screen caused a reset or a hang on the emulated machine.
Strange, I think it was not caused by Mouse, I think it could be an "emulator" problem, eg interrupt, but I will check if I save and restore all necessary registers in KM emulation.

I have tested your emulator more thoroughly.

It seems that the random movement pointer on XEP128 running your SP128 is an error with mouse caption on some PCs.

Only a few of your selection of games refuse to load or hang once loaded.

Tomorrow I will test other games on the Velesoft page.

But I got same results on real EP :oops:

Try to enter "soft 48" mode, before load:
PRINT USR(0)

Yesterday I installed the SP128 Rom on XEP, and tested all the Tap files that geco selected.

Some of them worked on 128k, others on 48k. A few of them needed to load and auto-reset previously on 128k to work on 48k. (Is this soft 48k?)

Only three of the Tap files hanged just once loaded, the rest gave me a good pointer movement altough a few of them hanged during play-time.

I didn't notice slowdown playing with mouse compared with joystick playing. Some of the games offered full multi-instrument(beep) music during play-time with no slowdown.


Today I will test your advice and all the Sna files. Also I will test the same on the real EP, loading SP128, not in Rom.

Some of the games seem to me real treasures to make EP conversions.

Yes.
The "hard 48k" mode, when you select 48K Basic from the menu, or enter SPECTRUM command in 128K Basic. This is set the 48K bit in the ULA, and it is disable the memory paging then 128K memory not available.
If you run the reset routine from the 48K ROM (the USR(0) trick) then 48K Basic started, but the 128K memory still available.

Now on the real thing, it is very hard to load a Tap file.

I managed Symcity, but the pointer jumped like a fool...

I can't load any Tap in soft 48k mode. Don't know if the problem is that
Spemu128 is not the Rom version(due to Rom writes).

128k snapshots are  loaded, some with good movement.

Please Zozo, better put this conversation on a new thread.

I don't worry very much of the results of Spemu128+EnterMice on the real thing, I had similar errors converting Pasziansz, XEP was the first to accept my work... But it is a good start.

The list of tested Tap files on XEP continue here:

F.I.R.E.            loads, but hangs on game-play
R-type             loads, but hangs on game-play
Xcel                works
Belegost           works
SWIV 128         doesn't load completelly
zynaps             loads, but hangs on game-play
