GO9800 Emulator - achim - 10-12-2016 09:25 PM

Dear friends,

I'm pleased to announce, that after a few years without progress, a new release 2.02 of my HP9800 series emulator is available for download from https://sourceforge.net/projects/hp9800e/files/GO9800%202.02/

This release features a complete new microcode based CPU emulation using dumps of the CPU, ALU, and BCD ROMs and includes a microcode disassembler and ROM decoder.

The revised manual contains a large section about the theory of operation and implementation of the CPU micro-instructions.

Have fun,
Achim

Hi folks,

sorry, I forgot to include the manual and just uploaded a new bin archive containing it as well as a separate PDF file.

Wow! Great project!
Its incredible the work and time you spent on this but the result is awesome.
I have run it on OSX 10.11.6.
I have absolutely no idea how they works, never tried these machines before but everything seems to work including the sounds Smile

I have this warning
Code:
07:15:57.042 WARNING:  140: This application, or a library it uses, is using the deprecated Carbon Component Manager for hosting Audio Units. 
   Support for this will be removed in a future release. Also, this makes the host incompatible with version 3 audio units. Please transition to the API's in AudioComponent.h.

Thank you very much for sharing this marvellous emulator.
Did I say Wow!

Sylvain

Edit: after testing more emulators, it seems that the file "HP9866A.jpg" is not loaded/displayed in the HP9866A window.

RE: GO9800 Emulator - achim - 10-13-2016 01:17 PM

Silvain,

thank you very much, I appreciate your comments.
Yes, I will have to work on the audio engine, as it doesn't work at all on Raspberry PI.
And yes, to be honest, display of a JPG image for the 9866A/B is not implemented. Its just a window with white background for the print output.

Greetings,
Achim

RE: GO9800 Emulator - Harald - 10-13-2016 09:04 PM

Hi Achim,

this looks very interesting. Unfortunately I have not succeeded in starting the emulator. I have download the binaries, unpacked them into a folder and tried to start go9800.jar. On my Ubuntu 16.04 machine and also on the Windows 8 machine nothing at all happens. Both try to open it using Java Runtime. What am I missing?

Cheers,
Harald

Execute hpxxxx.cmd

Thanks! That didn't work either. But copying the contents of the cmd file to the terminal did.

RE: GO9800 Emulator - achim - 10-13-2016 09:43 PM

Harald,
on windows use the hp*.cmd files to start the emulator for the corresponding machine, on Linux or MacOSX use the hp*.sh files. Prior to this you have to give them execute rights by entering

chmod a+x *.sh

in a shell.

And Java runtime 1.7 or higher has to be installed in /usr/bin. If this is not the case, edit the .sh files and set the correct path.

I hope that helps.

Best regards,
Achim

RE: GO9800 Emulator - achim - 11-01-2016 07:08 PM

Sylvain,

I have checked the audio warning you mentioned. A the moment I can do nothing about it, seems to be a problem of the Java libraries in conjuction with OSX 10.11.

See [url=https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/issues/3572] and [url=https://github.com/cmus/cmus/issues/331]

Which Java release do you use?

Achim

RE: GO9800 Emulator - macieksoft - 05-04-2017 04:52 PM

Sorry for digging in old thread but why go9800 was removed from sourceforge?

I was able to download V2.03 from other website and its great. Before i had 1.60 and its one of the best emulators ever.

What is the latest version? Where can i download it? And why there was no manual in 2.03 package while 1.60 package had manual. Where can i download manual for latest version?

Is this still available somewhere? I can't find it anymore.

There's an updated manual, GO9800_User_Manual_2.03.pdf, that I can't find.

I uploaded my GO9800 archive to the VintHPcom group files section a couple months ago. It includes v1.60, 2.02 and 2.03 of the emulator, although I'm missing the manual and source code for 2.03.

https://groups.io/g/VintHPcom/files/Emulator%20files/GO9800.zip

I think you have to join the group to get file access, but I can put it up on my site for now. The link should be good for a few weeks, or until I run a site update.

RE: GO9800 Emulator - elliot - 07-30-2018 11:04 PM

Can someone make available the PDF documentation? I have the emulator working, but it would be nice to know how to use the tape files (i.e. what's on them), etc. Thanks.
