Milli V Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Does anyone know how to make AdamEm play nice with DosBox 0.74? DosBox uses the ctrl-f9 and the alt-f12 for its own purposes so you cant get to the AdamEm configuration (ctrl-f9) or reset the adam (alt-f12).

NIAD Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 It's a well known conflict that the author of Virtual Adam (Steve Pitman) was aware of when he developed the frontend. Unfortunately there is no solution for this conflict unless a brand new Adam emulator is developed specifically for Windows... with CoolCV by Nanochess showing a lot of promise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milli V Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Ok - guess I'll have to live with it. It is a great emulator to develop code in and then move it to the adam when done It's a well known conflict that the author of Virtual Adam (Steve Pitman) was aware of when he developed the frontend.

Trebor Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 FWIW...MAME has very good ADAM computer emulation and a built-in debugger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I might add to what NIAD said...although the author was aware of the conflict, he didn't realize at the time you could reconfigure the keys in DosBox. If I remember correctly, the Ctrl-F9 gets to the ADAMem configuration, but it is also the keypress that exits out of DosBox. So DosBox could have been reconfigured to avoid this problem. A possible solution is to use ADAMem run under its original front end ADAMemMam. It's not as fully featured as Virtual ADAM, but you can use the ADAMem configuration then. The only drawback is that with Windows XP and later, the sound is sometimes screwed up with some sound cards.

+nanochess Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Still several things to do in CoolCV to make a good ADAM emulation, like separate disk drives and tapes, currently only one is allowed. A nice thing is that the recent CoolCV allows full ADAM keyboard configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
