How to get MZX working damnit @$^%$%
OK.. I was looking at some pics of a game made in megazeux or whatever and it looked nice. I wanted to try it out but it seems that it dosen't like my computer or any other. When I start it up it asks for my sound card and none of the bastards work (I have a sound card built into my motherboard.. I think it's en... en somethin q. I forget.. something crappy anyways.) and it's pissing me off. So I choose no sound and then it freezes. It wouldn't be a problem if the same ting didn't happen on 10 different computers. Yes.. 10.
Not necessarily.
What OS do you use? If it's NT-based Windows, <a href="http://bitpack.net/mzx/nt.html">this FAQ</a> will help.
If you're Linux-inclined, <a href="http://www.digitalmzx.net/forums/index. ... topic=7010"> this topic</a> will help.
If it's 95-98SE, try running it in pure DOS first. If that doesn't work out, well, try editing the command line options. For example, if the card's SB16 emulation is on IRQ 5, port 220 and DMA 1, your command line should look like this:
Mzx269c.exe -irq5 -port220 -dma1
(If you don't know how to edit the command line in Win95-98SE, it's Right Click -> Properties -> Program -> Cmd line)
Go try that and report back the results.
If all else fails, there's <a href="http://mzx32.sourceforge.net/">MZX for Windows</a>, but it doesn't have a working MZX robotics editor.
