Spectrum-toys is a project mainly written in C and PYTHON, it's free.
Set of utilities for pushing C code into an emulated Spectrum 48K
Some utilities to use with xspect for cross-development of Spectrum 48K software.
Run the make file, and (if you have GCC, SDCC and Python installed) you should get a write-garbage.sna. You can execute this with xspect, then just
RANDOMISE USR 32768
to start it running. You could, if you wanted, write it out to a TAP file, then convert that to a WAV to run on a real Speccy. I suppose.
Write some characters into the 48K video memory. It's just a test.
SDCC outputs Intel Hex format, so we need to turn that into straight up binary before we can do anything with it.
Lets take a Spectrum snapshot from xspect, and write the binary into a fixed offset inside it. This is equivalent to 0x4000.
