	The available programs can be separated by the selection of a specific machine. For example, if you want to get the available programs for the Spectrum only select "Spectrum" from the selection box.
	The available programs for the Spectrum are shown. Now select the game "Elite" or go to the Spectrum screen by selecting "Spectrum". Note, you also can display all available programs by selecting "All" from the selection box ( not shown ).

The necessary files, e.g. ROMs, fonts, help, example and test files are all included for download.

What next?
Full support of PSG emulation (MZ-800 / MZ1500).
RS232 emulation.

The emulator contains an inbuilt debugger and a stand-alone Z80 disassembler program.

The Windows emulator has full tape support for LOAD / SAVE without patch ( BIN / BSD / BAS / OBJ ).
To this use the emulators buttons "Play", "rec", and "Stop". Files without a file header can also be loaded. This enables the emulator to load programs/data which are controlled by a loader program. E.g. some programs use a preloader which use a special load routine to load programs/data. In this case the program/data does not have a header. These files must have the suffix ".nhd" in the filename.

The RAM file MZ-1R12 / MZ-1R18 and the QuickDisk MZ-1F11 with its interface MZ-1E14 is supported too.

The floppy disk drive and its interface MZ-1E05 is supported ( 2 drives ).
The floppy disk drive SFD700 from K&P is supported.

The emulators support the printer and the plotter.

The I/O-mapping and the PSG of the MZ-800 are supported. This enables you to run programs like WOOKY by this emulator. Normally those programs cannot run on a MZ-700.

The emulators are able to display European or Japanese fonts by the buttons EU and JP. Some MZ-800 games ( which run in the 700-mode ) use an own font. You can save such fonts by using the emulator's button SF. When next playing the game again, you have to load the game only ( not again such font ).

	The emulator supports the scan line mode.

The emulator supports the Soundcard ( The PSG emulation for the MZ-800 / MZ-1500 / Coleco is in beta test ).

The emulator supports print / plotter outputs. Each output will be saved into a file called WINMZPRNx.txt by using the "New file"-button in the printer window. You can append the output or create a new output fiel by using the "New file"-button in the printer window. The 1st output gets the name WINMZPRN.txt, the 2nd is WINMZPRN1,txt, the 3d is WINMZPRN2.txt and so on. You can print from Basic, machine code, CP/M, etc.

The emulator supports the K&P 80-column interface ( MZ-700 ). To use it you need the K&P 80-column Disk BASIC.

This is SCREEN 0 ( 40-column screen )

This is SCREEN 1 ( 80-column screen ). Version 3.55 informs about 30956 BYTES FREE. Change the colour
by double-clicking on the screen.

Download the 80-column Disk BASIC now and read the operation instructions.

The emulator supports the SUC CP/M versions for the MZ-700 (40 / 80 column versions):

SUC 40 column CP/M version for the MZ-700 / 1E05

SUC CP/M version for the MZ-700 / 1E05 and the SUC 80 character interface developed by John Edwards

SUC 40 column CP/M version using the K&P floppy drive SFD700 activated by "JF000".

MZ-800 / MZ-1500 emulation: full graphics and 80-column support. To use it you need the P-CPM-80.

The emulator supports the PCG700 and MZ-800 PCG ( Programmable Character Generator ). The MZ-800 / MZ-1500 PSG is in beta test.

For the PSG sound try to find out the best option:

These are screenshots of the PCG700-game MOLE-ATTACK:

The emulator supports the MZ80K PCG.

The emulator synchronizes its internal processing speed for high speed CPU's automatically ( more than 500MHz, e.g. 2GHz ). If you want to turn off this use the "sync"-button.

Selectable screen sizes. The emulator's screen is
resizable if the mode shown is selected.

You can select the screen color:
FARBE = select color
Grau / BW = black and white
Grün = green

You can drag and drop a program file from the explorer window into the emulator window to start the program.

This is a screen shot of the MZ-800 emulation using the 80-columns display for P-CPM-80:

CP/M LEC+ can also be executed:

CPM on the MZ-80B is supported too.

The Windows emulator has full tape support for LOAD / SAVE without patch ( BIN / BSD / BAS / OBJ ).

To this use the emulators buttons "Play", "rec", and "Stop". The following pics will show you the LOAD process:

At first load your S-Basic (or another one). Next type in the Basic command "LOAD"
and press the ENTER-key.

Wait until the S-Basic prompts you to press the "Play"-button. Then press the emulators "Play"-button, which is similar to the tape recorders play button.

Select the file to download in the following Windows Explorer window,
which immediately opens after pressing the emulators "Play"-button.

The LOAD process starts by displaying these messages.
The emulator displays the progress bar within the status bar.
The progress bar disappears if the load completes.

If the emulator prompts you to "Press STOP" then press the emulators "Stop"-key (similar to the tape recorders stop key). Basic displays "ready". The file is loaded completely.

Files without a file header can also be loaded. This enables the emulator to load programs/data which are controlled by a loader program. E.g. some programs use a preloader which use a special load routine to load programs/data. In this case the program/data does not have a header. These files must have the suffix ".nhd" in the filename.

This version is able to access DSK-formatted disk-images.

You can easily set up your own disk-images by CPDREAD and rewrite a disk-image for use by your MZ using CPDWRITE. Download the utilities CPDREAD ( 9 kb ) and CPDWRITE ( 16 kb ) now.

You need at first the selection list. To this press the "Programm"-button. (alternatively you can use the black button below of the "Progamm"-button.)

Select the floppy disk controller setup-profile. The standard disk-image test.dsk is used at startup. If there is no test.dsk you get an informational message-window. You have to close the FD1-drawer next if a test.dsk exist. Then press the emulator's Reset-button and the IPLPRO boots if there is any on your disk-image.

To use your disk-image you do all step by step like using a real Floppy Disk drive:
	First OPEN the drawer of the Floppy Disk drive by selecting "FD OPEN". Next load a floppy disk by selecting the filename of your disk-image in the following window. To this select here "FD load" first. At last close the drawer of the FD drive by selecting "FD close ". Your disk-image is now active for work. You also can use "FD load and close" for a more quick selection.

You can predefine as many programs as you want to run by a selection-list.
To activate the selection list click at "Programm".		To redefine the selection list by a specific machine only click at "ALL" and select the machine you want.

Generate an .INI-file for each entry in the selection list. Choose a name for the .INI-file you want ( e.g. CHESS.INI, MYPROG1.INI, STARTREK.INI, etc. ).

All INI-files (except the MZEMU.ini) must be in the folder /init !

There are some parameters you have to define within the INI-file. The predefined INI-file for the S-BASIC MZ-5Z008 ( which you'll find in the downloadable emulator's ZIP-file ) looks like this:

#DRIVER=MZ700
#TITLE=BASIC MZ-5Z008
#Font=MZ700FON.INT
#ROM=1Z-013A.rom;$0000
#File=BASIC MZ-5Z008_2.MZF

Use #DRIVER to select MZ700, MZ80K, Spectrum, or COLECO. This parameter is required and the possible keywords are MZ700, MZ80K, Spectrum, and COLECO. This will activate the system ( Maschine ) which is to emulate.

Use #TITLE for the text you want to get shown in the selection list.

Use #FILE for the filename of the program which is to execute by the emulator when you select it by the selection list. If the file exists in a subdirectory of the emulator's directory, enter: subdirectory-name\filename ( e.g. games\chess.mzf for the game "chess.mzf" which resides in your emulator's subdirectory "games" ).

Use #Font to preload a font. Some games use own fonts, but you can generally preload a Japanese or the European font. Use a subdirectory-name as shown above in the description of the parameter #FILE if your font is in a subdirectory of the emulator's directory.

Use #ROM if preloading of a special ROM is necessary for the execution of your program ( e.g. 1Z009, NEWMON ). Use a subdirectory-name as shown above in the description of the parameter #FILE if your ROM is stored in a subdirectory of the emulator's directory. Separate the load address of the ROM by a semicolon ";" and add the address ( e.g. $0000, $E000 ).

Use #NOHIROM to suppress the execution of a ROM at $F000 and / or at $E800. This will leave the emulator in the ROM at $0000.

Use #QDNAME to preload a QuickDisk. The first file on this disk will automatically start when the MZ-700 is selected. Use a subdirectory-name as shown above in the description of the parameter #FILE if your QD is stored in a subdirectory of the emulator's directory.

Use #QDOPEN to allocate the QD-file but to prevent the autostart as described above at #QDNAME.

Use #QDCLOSE to activate the QD.

Use #FDNAME to preload a Floppy Disk image. The first file on this disk will automatically start when the MZ-700 is selected. Use a subdirectory-name as shown above in the description of the parameter #FILE if your FD is stored in a subdirectory of the emulator's directory.

Use #FDOPEN to allocate the Floppy Disk image but to prevent the autostart as described above at #FDNAME.

Use #FDCLOSE to activate the Floppy Disk image.

Use #Reset ( not shown in the example above ) when loading a ROM only. This must be the last parameter in the INI-file.

Use #SCREEN for the screen size. The possible values are 0 for a normal size and 1 for a double size.

Use #TICK for the interrupt rate of the CPU ( e.g. #TICK=$A00C ).

DOS version

This emulator version should run under plain DOS, but the author told me it can be used too under Win 95 / NT 4 / NT 5 without problems.

Download the emulator ( 204 kb, September 15, 2001 )
It contains all needed emulator files and in addition font files, Z80 disassembler, patches, help files, test files, examples, the S-Basic MZ-1Z013B, Coleco-ROM, MZ-700-ROM and the disassembled MZ-700-ROM, ROMs for Nascom and Nassys, Spectrum-ROM, and ZX81-ROM.

Download the source code to this DOS version ( 157 kb, September 15, 2001 )
This enables you to change the emulator for your own purposes. This download is not necessary if you want to run the emulator only and do no want to change / expand it by yourself.

Unzip all downloaded files and use the path information to extract the files!

To get the Character-ROM(s) MZ7xxx.FON ( xxx = int or jap ) execute Gen_fnt.exe now. The input files for Gen_fnt.exe are MZINTCH.txt and / or MZJAPCH.txt. If both input files are available while executing Gen_fnt.exe both fonts will be generated.

Execute Gen_roma.exe. The generated outputfile will be the monitor ROM named MZ700a.rom ( 4KB ).

Download the actual emulator version V. 1.93h (2.325 kb, Febrauary 02, 2010).
