<h1><a name=s1>1. General</a></h1>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Emu48 is an emulator for the Hewlett Packard HP38G, HP39G,
|
|
|
|
|
HP40G, HP48SX, HP48GX and HP49G calculator hardware. These calculators
|
|
|
|
|
are based on the 1LT8 Clarke (HP48SX) and on the Yorke chip.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<h1><a name=s2>2. Acknowledgements</a></h1>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>First of all a big thank to Sébastien Carlier for publishing
|
|
|
|
|
Emu48 v1.0 under the GPL. Without this decision newer versions of the
|
|
|
|
|
emulator wouldn't have been possible or ports to other similar
|
|
|
|
|
calculators wouldn't have been made. Also a big thank to Jean-Yves
|
2024-03-19 23:35:30 +01:00
|
|
|
Avenard for his technical assistance in the beginning. Lode Vandevenne
|
|
|
|
|
spend the PNG image decoder and finally I want to thank all the
|
|
|
|
|
unnamed authors for publishing material about these calculators.</p>

<h1><a name=s3>3. ROM Images</a></h1>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Emu48 needs an image of a calculator ROM to be able to run. ROM
|
|
|
|
|
images are valid in a packed (even address lower nibble, odd address
|
|
|
|
|
higher nibble) or unpacked (one nibble per byte with even address first)
|
|
|
|
|
form.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Since fall 2000 the emulator ROM's for the HP38, 39, 40, 48 and 49
|
|
|
|
|
are freely available on different Internet sites. Because there's no
|
|
|
|
|
license for the distribution of the ROM images, they aren't included
|
|
|
|
|
in the Emu48 package. You can still use the classic way extracting
|
|
|
|
|
them from your own calculator. But in mostly all cases you have to
|
|
|
|
|
convert the ROM files into the Emu48 ROM format.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>HP38
|
|
|
|
|
<p>To upload the ROM of your HP38G, you will need a special aplet
|
|
|
|
|
called <a href="http://www.hpcalc.org/details.php?id=633">"ROM UPLOAD"</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
Once you've uploaded the ROM, you have to convert it using the
|
|
|
|
|
Convert utility.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>To do that, start a Command Prompt while running Windows, and
|
|
|
|
|
type:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>Convert <rom-file> ROM.38G</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Where <rom-file> is the path to your ROM image. This will
|
|
|
|
|
create a file named ROM.38G. This tool will also check its validity.
|
|
|
|
|
</p></li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>HP39/40
|
|
|
|
|
<p>To upload the ROM of your HP39G/HP40G, you will need a special aplet
|
|
|
|
|
called <a href="http://hp.giesselink.com/emu48.htm">"ROM UPLOAD"</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
Once you've uploaded the ROM, you have to convert it using the Rom2emu utility.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>To do that, start a Command Prompt while running Windows, and
|
|
|
|
|
type:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>Rom2emu <rom-file> ROM.39G</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>There's also a HP39G/HP40G beta ROM for emulators inside an old
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://www.hpcalc.org/details.php?id=4272">Emu48 package</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
</p></li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>HP48
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If you have already used another HP48 emulator, you can convert
|
|
|
|
|
the ROM using the Convert utility.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>To do that, start a Command Prompt while running Windows, and
|
|
|
|
|
type:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>Convert <rom-file> ROM.48G</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>or</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>Convert <rom-file> ROM.48S</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Where <rom-file> is the path to your old ROM image. This
|
|
|
|
|
will create a file named ROM.48G or ROM.48S, depending on the version
|
|
|
|
|
you own. This tool should be able to read any style of ROM image, and
|
|
|
|
|
will also check its validity. Note that if you run it with only one
|
|
|
|
|
parameter, no file will be written, but it will still check the
|
|
|
|
|
validity of the ROM.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If you have never used an HP48 emulator, and don't have a ROM
|
|
|
|
|
dump, you can either use Jean-Yves Avenard's ROMUPL.BIN or the
|
|
|
|
|
ROMDump Wizard V1.x, which will almost automatically get the ROM from
|
|
|
|
|
your HP48. After the download you may have to convert your dump with
|
|
|
|
|
the CONVERT utility into the Emu48 format.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>You can find the latest version of the ROM dump programs on:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|

|
</blockquote></li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>HP49G
|
|
|
|
|
<p>There's no ROM download program available so far. But you can
|
|
|
|
|
create a ROM image with the
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://hp.giesselink.com/emu48.htm">UPD49ROM tool</a>
|
|
|
|
|
and a <a href="http://www.hpcalc.org/hp49/pc/rom/">
|
|
|
|
|
ROM update file</a> for the HP49G calculator. I suggested to use
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://www.hpcalc.org/details.php?id=3240">version 1.19-6</a>
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>To create a HP49G ROM image file, start a Command Prompt while
|
|
|
|
|
running Windows, and type:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>UPD49ROM -f hp49119-6.flash ROM.49G</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This will create a HP49G ROM image file with an empty User
|
|
|
|
|
Port 2.</p></li>
|
|
|
|

</ul>
|
|

|
|
<h1><a name=s4>4. Installation</a></h1>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>To install Emu48 you may use the installer package which contain,
|
|
|
|
|
among the binaries, some HP48 KML scripts or just unzip the emulator
|
|
|
|
|
and the required emulator skins from archives into an empty directory.
|
|
|
|
|
Finally you have to copy your ROM images into this directory and
|
|
|
|
|
adjust the ROM image name to the name used in the corresponding KML
|
|
|
|
|
script. When you first run Emu48, it will detect the directory in
|
|
|
|
|
which you installed it, and will write the configuration to the
|
|
|
|
|
registry at <i>HKCU\Software\Emu48</i>.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<h1><a name=s5>5. How to Start</a></h1>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>When Emu48 is installed and you have put valid KML scripts and the
|
|
|
|
|
corresponding ROM image(s) into your Emu48 installation directory, you
|
|
|
|
|
can start Emu48. You'll see a "Choose Your KML Script"
|
|
|
|
|
box.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>KML scripts in fact define the visual aspect of Emu48, the behavior of
|
|
|
|
|
the buttons, of the keyboard, ... It's a GREAT way to customize your copy
|
|
|
|
|
of Emu48.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Check that the path in the "Emu48 Directory" text area is
|
|
|
|
|
correct. Modify it if the directory in which you installed Emu48 is not
|
|
|
|
|
the directory displayed. Click the refresh button ("V") after
|
|
|
|
|
modifying it to update the list box or use the ("...") button to
|
|
|
|
|
start the directory browser.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Choose a KML script in the list box for your calculator ROM you put
|
|
|
|
|
into Emu48's directory.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Several HP48 scripts are included in the Emu48 archive:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Emu48's Default Faceplate for HP48G/GX</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Emu48's Default Faceplate for HP48S/SX
|
|
|
|
|
<p>These two are simple scripts, good for 800x600 display
|
|
|
|
|
resolution.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Casey's Gx with Toolbar and Touch Screen</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Casey's Sx with Toolbar and Touch Screen
|
|
|
|
|
<p>These script uses many advanced features, and is a good
|
|
|
|
|
demonstration of the power of Emu48's scripting language KML.
|
|
|
|
|
Try it, it is really great!</p></li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Floating buttons
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This one looks really great.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Small but realistic HP48 Gx
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This one has been designed for small resolutions such as
|
|
|
|
|
640x480.
|
|
|
|
|
</p></li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If you want other great scripts, visit Rechlin's great HP archive
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://www.hpcalc.org/"></a></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>And if you are interested in writing new scripts, get the KML 2.0
|
|
|
|
|
documentation from <a href="http://hp.giesselink.com/emu48.htm">the
|
|
|
|
|
authors Emu48 page</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Once you have selected a script, press OK to start the emulator. In
|
|
|
|
|
most cases, when Emu48 crash after pressing the OK button, you are using
|
|
|
|
|
an invalid ROM image. While it's running, you can use the View/Change KML
|
|
|
|
|
Script... command to change the visual aspect of Emu48.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<h1><a name=s6>6. Command Line</a></h1>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The command line syntax is "<i>Emu48 [E48file [Port2file]]</i>".
|
|
|
|
|
The first parameter sets the filename for the emulation data
|
|
|
|
|
independent from the "LastDocument" setting, the second
|
|
|
|
|
parameter the Port2 file. You're not able to set a Port 2 file without
|
|
|
|
|
setting the emulation data file. The arguments are optional.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<h1><a name=s7>7. Virtual Keyboard</a></h1>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>There are two ways to use the virtual keyboard on the emulated
|
|
|
|
|
calculator:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="#mouse">by Mouse</a></li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="#keyboard">by PC keyboard</a></li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><a name=mouse></a>
|
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to use the emulated calculator is using the mouse. The KML
|
|
|
|
|
script define buttons with an area where mouse input is active. The mouse
|
|
|
|
|
cursor change from an arrow to a hand cursor in these areas. The state of
|
|
|
|
|
the virtual key follow the state of your left mouse button. When the mouse
|
|
|
|
|
cursor leaves the virtual key area the virtual button automatically
|
|
|
|
|
release. In some cases you need to press more than one key on the
|
|
|
|
|
emulator. For these cases press the virtual key with the right mouse
|
|
|
|
|
button. When you release the mouse button or leave the area of the virtual
|
|
|
|
|
key, the key is still hold. To release all hold virtual buttons, just use
|
|
|
|
|
the left mouse button again. A single release of a hold virtual key isn't
|
|
|
|
|
possible.</p>

Another convenient way is using the PC keyboard. The KML script language
|
|
|
|
|
support a large variety of commands to implement this feature. So keyboard
|
|
|
|
|
usage depends on your used KML script and not on the emulator. Because of
|
|
|
|
|
this it's impossible to say what's happen when you press a key on the PC
|
|
|
|
|
keyboard. For further details read the KML 2.0 documentation mentioned
|
|
|
|
|
before please.</p>

|
|
|
|
similar to the AG and STAR mnemonics used at this time. Especially

<h4>8.6.2.1 Section Memory Cards</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><i>Port 1 is Plugged</i>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>When this option is checked, a 128 KB RAM card is emulated in card
|
|
|
|
|
Port 1. The RAM card content is saved in the current emulator state
|
|
|
|
|
file.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><i>Port 1 is Writeable</i>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>When this option is checked, the RAM card in card Port 1 is
|
|
|
|
|
writable else the card is Read-Only by simulating the card write
|
|
|
|
|
protect switch.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><i>Port 2 is Shared</i>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>When this option is unchecked, only the first instance of Emu48
|
|
|
|
|
will allow you to use the RAM card in Port 2. When this option is
|
|
|
|
|
checked, the first instance of Emu48 will give you both read and
|
|
|
|
|
write access to this RAM card. If you start Emu48 in another
|
|
|
|
|
instance, the RAM card in Port 2 will be write-protected. Thus you
|
|
|
|
|
can transfer files very easily between two calculators. This RAM card
|
|
|
|
|
is used by both S/SX and G/GX types.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><i>Port 2 is Writeable</i>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This option represents the actual read/write state of the Port 2
|
|
|
|
|
file. Changing the option will also change the state for the
|
|
|
|
|
calculator by modifying the Read-Only attribute of the file.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><i>Port 2 File</i>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>You can add a RAM card of up to 4MB to a HP48. By default, no such
|
|
|
|
|
card will be created when you start Emu48. The MkShared.exe utility
|
|
|
|
|
will allow you to create one. To create a Port 2 RAM Card, call the
|
|
|
|
|
program, select the RAM Card size, enter the card file name and press
|
|
|
|
|
the 'Create' button. That's it. Please remember, this program replace
|
|
|
|
|
the destination file without any request!</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If you already have a Port 2 card file in unpacked format, you
|
|
|
|
|
have to copy the file into the emulator directory. If you choose a
|
|
|
|
|
different directory you have to use a full path file name.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If you use RAM cards greater than 128 KB in a HP48SX, you can only
|
|
|
|
|
see the first 128 KB of the card. Please remember, the firmware of
|
|
|
|
|
all HP48GX versions has a bug when using a 4 MB RAM card. You always
|
|
|
|
|
get the message "Warning: Invalid Card Data" at startup
|
|
|
|
|
and Port 33 is inaccessible. This is not a bug of the emulator!</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>When you have created or copied the file, enter the card file
|
|
|
|
|
name into the Port 2 File edit box.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Please remember, all port configuration changes mostly behave
|
|
|
|
|
like on the original calculator. This means when you do this changes
|
|
|
|
|
with the emulated calculator on, it's the same like when you do this
|
|
|
|
|
with a real calculator on. In many times, this depends on the current
|
|
|
|
|
state of the calculator, this will work without any problems by doing
|
|
|
|
|
an automatically calculator warmstart. But for the most secure way,
|
|
|
|
|
switch off the emulated calculator first, please!</p></li>

|
|
|
|
<h4>8.6.3.1 Section Sound</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>A new implementation of the sound engine made ROM patches for sound
|
|
|
|
|
output obsolete. The new sound engine emulates the behavior of the beeper
|
|
|
|
|
output ports and only work in connection with a sound card. Using the
|
|
|
|
|
internal PC speaker isn't possible any more. The old beeper method with a
|
|
|
|
|
ROM patch is still working but deprecated, it's strongly recommended to
|
|
|
|
|
remove all beep patches from your current KML scripts to enable the new
|
|
|
|
|
sound engine. The support of the old sound implementation by a ROM patch
|
|
|
|
|
maybe removed in later versions of the emulator and remaining beep
|
|
|
|
|
patches will corrupt the ROM with an illegal opcode then.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
For the sound generation the calculator must know his own CPU strobe
|
|
|
|
|
frequency. On the real calculator the speed depends on various settings
|
|
|
|
|
like component tolerances, actual temperature, humidity and other
|
|
|
|
|
variables. The resulting speed is measured by the calculator firmware
|
|
|
|
|
at a cold- or at a warmstart and stored in the =CSPEED variable. The
|
|
|
|
|
content of this calculator variable has direct influence on the
|
|
|
|
|
resulting frequency and duration. On the emulator the HP48SX CPU
|
|
|
|
|
strobe frequency is set by the registry key
|
|
|
|
|
<i>HKCU\Software\Emu48\Emulator\SXCycles</i>, for all other
|
|
|
|
|
calculators at <i>HKCU\Software\Emu48\Emulator\GXCycles</i>.
|
|
|
|
|
For some reasons the CPU cycles are only estimated and so the
|
|
|
|
|
strobe frequency value in the registry is not the exact CPU strobe
|
|
|
|
|
frequency of the calculator in Hz divided by 16384 like in the
|
|
|
|
|
other emulators. Because older versions of the emulator were not
|
|
|
|
|
able to measure the CPU strobe frequency properly or the strobe
|
|
|
|
|
frequency registry content has been changed since the last
|
|
|
|
|
measurement, the =CSPEED variable of this session file may contain
|
|
|
|
|
a wrong frequency value. You easily may discover this by measuring
|
|
|
|
|
the real duration of a 10s beep. Is the difference to 10s less
|
|
|
|
|
than 1s everything is ok, if not, you should perform a
|
|
|
|
|
<u style="color:red">warmstart</u> of the calculator in this
|
|
|
|
|
session file. Alternatively you may execute a
|
|
|
|
|
<a href=#ss9.6>Reset Calculator</a>. This recalls the measuring
|
|
|
|
|
routine and save the result in the speed variable. Both restart
|
|
|
|
|
variants purge the stack content!

you can also manually choose the output device. The device name is

somehow cut since Window Vista, but the method of reading the device
|
|
|
|

name is used for backwards compatibility to older versions of the
|

|
|
|
In this section you can the define the IPv4 address and the port the

<p>To import "Real or Complex Numbers" from the clipboard,
|
|
|

<h1><a name=s13>13. DDE Server</a></h1>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Emu48 has an integrated DDE server to transmit data from and to the HP
|
|
|
|
|
stack. Because only the HP48 and HP49 have a stack, all DDE transfers
|
|
|
|
|
are ignored on the other calculators. You have the same restrictions like
|
|
|
|
|
with the commands "Load object..." and "Save
|
|
|
|
|
Object...", that a running program may corrupt memory. In difference
|
|
|
|
|
you can choose the stack level for the transfer in the DDE item field.
|
|
|
|
|
Take care to transmit data only after the acknowledge of the last DDE
|
|
|
|
|
transaction.</p>
