Z80-Ruby

Ruby binding for the Z80 library.

Installation

First, make sure that you have the Z80 library installed on your system.

Then add the z80 gem to the Gemfile of your project and run bundle:

gem 'z80'

Or install the gem directly:

gem install z80

Troubleshooting

"I installed the Z80 library through Homebrew, but bundle does not find it."

Configure the environment variables C_INCLUDE_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH by adding the installation prefix of the library:

export C_INCLUDE_PATH="$C_INCLUDE_PATH:$(brew --prefix)/include"
export LIBRARY_PATH="$LIBRARY_PATH:$(brew --prefix)/lib"

"I installed the Z80 library through Homebrew, but gem does not find it."

Tell gem the installation prefix of the library:

gem install z80 -- --with-Z80-dir=$(brew --prefix)

Examples

Z80 Instruction Set Exerciser

This small script demonstrates how to run the CP/M versions of zexall and zexdoc with a few lines of code:

require 'z80'

memory = quit = nil
cpu = Z80.new

cpu.fetch_opcode = cpu.fetch = cpu.read do |context, address|
	memory[address]
end

cpu.write do |context, address, value|
	memory[address] = value
end

cpu.hook do |context, address|
	case address
	when 0 # END
		cpu.terminate
		quit = true
		0 # NOP
	when 5 # PRINT
		i = cpu.de
		while (c = memory[i]) != 0x24
			putc(c == 0xA ? "\n" : c) if c != 0xD
			i = (i + 1) & 0xFFFF
		end
		0xC9 # RET
	else
		0 # NOP
	end
end

$stdout.sync = true if $stdout.tty?

ARGV.each do |file_path|
	program = file_path == '-' ? $stdin.read : File.read(file_path)
	puts "#{file_path}:"
	quit = false
	memory = Array.new(65536, 0)
	memory[0x0100, program.size] = program.bytes
	memory[0] = memory[5] = Z80::HOOK
	cpu.power true
	cpu.pc = 0x0100
	cpu.run(Z80::MAXIMUM_CYCLES) until quit
	puts
	break if file_path == '-'
end

Zilog Z80 CPU Test Suite

This runs any tape from Patrik Rak's Zilog Z80 CPU Test Suite (except z80ccfscr.tap):

require 'z80'

	RET  = 0xC9
	NOP  = 0x00
	CALL = 0xCD
end

quit = cursor_x = tab = memory = nil
cpu = Z80.new

cpu.fetch_opcode = cpu.fetch = cpu.read do |context, address|
	memory[address]
end

cpu.write do |context, address, value|
	memory[address] = value if address > 0x3FFF
end

cpu.in do |context, port|
	port.odd? ? 255 : 191
end

cpu.hook do |context, address|
	case address
	when 0x0010 # PRINT
		if tab == 0
			case (c = cpu.a)

				cursor_x = 0
			when 0x17 # TAB
				tab = 2

				printf "©"
				cursor_x += 1
			else
				if c >= 32 && c < 127
					putc c
					cursor_x += 1
				end
			end
		elsif (tab -= 1) != 0
			c = 0x1F & cpu.a
			x = 0x1F & cursor_x
			if c < x
				putc "\n"
				cursor_x = 0
			else
				cursor_x += (c -= x)
			end
			print ' ' * c
		end
