z80pack

z80pack is a mature emulator of multiple platforms with 8080 and Z80 CPU.

Ubuntu

Building

First install the needed dependencies:

sudo apt install build-essential libglu1-mesa-dev libjpeg9-dev

Then run

make

to build all the MACHINES mentioned in the Makefile.

Release vs Development

Sometimes I get asked questions why something doesn't work, and this might be caused by using an older version and not the latest current. Sometimes people miss it, that the repository most of the time has two branches:

master - finished and final releases
dev - latest sources still under development, but usually stable

To use the latest dev version you need to do this:

git clone https://github.com/udo-munk/z80pack.git
cd z80pack
git checkout dev

You now will build everything from the latest dev branch and not some older finished release.

Running CP/M 2.2

CP/M 2.2 is the ancestor of MS-DOS. Use this command to invoke CP/M 2.2 with two disks containing some sample programs and sources.

(cd cpmsim; ./cpm22)

Use DIR to see files on disk. Exit again with BYE

Sample execution in WSL under Windows 10:

#######  #####    ###            #####    ###   #     #
     #  #     #  #   #          #     #    #    ##   ##

Running CP/M 3

CP/M 3 was the next generation of CP/M with features from MP/M to notably be able to use more RAM along with a lot of other nice features.

Run with:

(cd cpmsim; ./cpm3)

Sample run:

#######  #####    ###            #####    ###   #     #
