Spectrum Emulator V4 by Palmtop BVHas anyone written a patch yet to make sound work with this emulator on the Netbook/Series 7?It seems odd that sound works fine on the 5mx!! 
...or am I better off running a PC DOS Spectrum emulator via XTM? Seems like cheating but it might work

Spectrum soundHi Adam,Try this: http://pscience5.myfreeforum.org/ftopic147.php No sound yet, but at least some progress. It wouldn't even be so bad if the program would just default to 5mx mode, but no - it has to use the full screen, and no sound. Pity. |

Hi,
Thank you for the reply. I will also try the C64 emulator as that has sound (I think!) Not sure what the result will be if I try the Spectrum DOS emulator via XTM.... |

Hi Adam,
Give it a go, and see how you get on 
My bet is that it'll be as slow as sheughwater, but you never know! -Shane |

Hi,
C64 Emulator has no sound either
Will let you know how the DOS emulator goes! |

Other possibility: AFAIK the sound system on both machines is the same; any possibility to hack the app to make it think it's running on a 5mx? Just a thought... (maybe they goofed up in the NetBook version, and just released a half-arsed alpha for the big screen?) |

Hi,
Sounds good..where do I start though? Just found some emulators for DOS that will run on slow 'PC' machines and make use of the internal speaker. Will give them a go... |

After several attempts with various 8-bit emulators via XTM, I have given up!
Warajevo was the only one I got to start and that crashed as soon as you tried to run a program. The more I use XTM, the more weakenesses I find. Roll on Pocket DOS - if they ever release an EPOC version!
