The Peripherals pane of Fuse
preferences lets
you configure the peripherals which Fuse
will consider to be attached to the emulated machines.
| OPTION |
DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| None | If this option is selected, Fuse will not emulate any mass storage device (except for the integrated disk devices on the +3, Pentagon and Scorpion). |
| Interface I | If this option is selected, Fuse will emulate the Sinclair Interface I, and allow microdrive cartriges to be inserted and removed via the Media > Microdrive menus. |
| Simple 8-bit IDE | If this option is selected, Fuse will emulate the simple 8-bit IDE interface as used by the Spectrum +3e, and allow hard disks to be connected and disconnected via the Media > IDE menu. |
| ZXATASP interface | If this option is selected, Fuse will emulate the ZXATASP interface, which provides both additional RAM and an IDE interface. See the ZXATASP AND ZXCF section for more details. |
| ZXCF interface | If this option is selected, Fuse will emulate the ZXCF interface, which provides both additional RAM and a CompactFlash interface. See the ZXATASP AND ZXCF section for more details. |
| DivIDE interface | If this option is selected, Fuse will emulate the DivIDE interface, which provides both additional RAM and a IDE interface. See the DivIDE section for more details. |
| +D interface | If this option is selected, Fuse will emulate the +D interface, which provides both a floppy drive and a printer interface. See the +D EMULATION section for more details. |
| Beta 128 interface | If this option is selected, Fuse will emulate the Beta 128 interface, which provides a floppy drive interface. See the BETA 128 EMULATION section for more details. Beta 128 emulation is enabled for the Pentagon and Scorpion machines regardless of this option. |
| Opus Discovery interface | If this option is selected, Fuse will emulate the Opus Discovery interface, which provides both a floppy drive and a printer interface. See the OPUS DISCOVERY EMULATION section for more details. |
| OPTION | DESCRIPTION |
| ZXATASP upload | This option controls the state of the ZXATASP upload jumper. See the ZXATASP AND ZXCF section for more details. |
| ZXATASP write protect | This option controls the state of the ZXATASP write protect jumper. See the ZXATASP AND ZXCF |
| OPTION | DESCRIPTION |
| ZXCF upload | This option controls the state of the ZXCF upload jumper. See the ZXATASP AND ZXCF section for more details. |
| OPTION | DESCRIPTION |
| DivIDE write protect | This option controls the state of the DivIDE EEPROM write protect jumper (E). See the DivIDE section for more details. |
| OPTION | DESCRIPTION |
| MDR cartridge len | This option controls the number of blocks in a new microdrive cartridge. If the value smaller than 4 or greater than 254 Fuse assumes 4 or 254. See the Interface I section for more details. |
See the
Printer Emulation
section
for more details.
| OPTION | DESCRIPTION |
|
Emulate
printers |
Specify whether emulation should include a printer. |
| Graphic Output File | Specify the filename and location for the printer graphics output file. |
| Text Output File | Specify the filename and location for the printer text output file |
| OPTION | DESCRIPTION |
| Kempston joystick interface | If this option is selected, Fuse will emulate a Kempston joystick interface (probably the most widely supported type on the Spectrum). Note that this option is basically equivalent to plugging the interface itself into a Spectrum, not to connecting a joystick; this affects how the Spectrum responds to a read of input port 31. To use a Kempston joystick in a game, this option must be enabled, and you must also select a Kempston joystick in the Joysticks preferences pane. |
| Kempston mouse | If this option is selected, Fuse will emulate a Kempston mouse interface. If you're using Fuse full-screen, your mouse is automatically used as if attached to the Kempston interface. Otherwise, you'll need to click on the Spectrum display in order to tell Fuse to grab the pointer (and make it invisible); to tell Fuse to release it, press Escape. |
| Interface II | If this option is selected, Fuse will emulate a cartridge port as found on the Interface II. Cartridges can then be inserted and removed via the Media > Cartridge menu. Note that the Pentagon, Scorpion, Interface II, ZXATASP and ZXCF all use the same hardware mechanism for accessing some of their extended features, so only one of these should be selected at once or unpredictable behaviour will occur. |
