Z80onMDR - ZX Spectrum Z80 to Microdrive Converter
With the growing popularity of the excellent vDrive and OqtaDrive
I decided to adapt
Z80onDSK to create Microdrive cartridges instead of disks from Z80 snapshots (now compatible with
.SNA snapshots as of v2.5).
Anybody that has tried to copy tapes to a Microdrive is aware of the challenges especially with the later custom loaders
and the aim of this utility is to make it as easy as possible to get games onto cartridge, including
the ability to create compilations with a nice menu etc...
Initially I was only going to make this 48k only as figured that would cover most users, however, I was quickly able to
adapt it to cover all just in case somebody wanted to use a Microdrive on a Toastrack or early Amstrad +2 (light grey version).
Compared to Z80onDSK
there are a few differences. For this utility I decided to stick to a basic loader rather than M/C
as understanding the ROM routines wasn't as simple as for 3DOS, plus I found it easier to enable things like multi-Microdrive
support. I also tweaked the menu system to take up a lot less space as Microdrive capacity is a lot lower than +3 disks.
Finally I removed some of the memory tweaking options and the ability to switch ROMs as these don't really make sense
on the machines that are compatible with an Interface 1. For 48k snapshots the utility also always turns off bank switching
so the Ultimate Games (and others like Match Day) will work fine on a 128k machine.
As a special request I quickly converted the utility to create OPUS Discovery & MGT Plus D Disks, basically the same utility just different output.
I received a couple of requests for a utility to just create the program loader menu I've used in Z80onMDR for transfer to disk, so
I've created MenuDSK to do this. It can handle up to 20 menu entries using the mock 128k menu style (shown below). It is wrapped in
a basic loader and this can then be output to a variety of disk types (PlusD, OPUS, +3) plus also to tape for easy transfer to real drives.
And lastly Z80onTAP to complete the set and a shout out to Massimo Raffaele & Steve for their many suggestions and testing of this version which had
a lot more attention than I expected given the abundance of TAP files out there :-)
The Dreaded Screen Corruption and the 4 Stage Loader Solution
The initial Z80onMDR utility had an in-screen launcher code copied from Z80onDSK but a lot smaller. Z80onDSK required a much more complex loader
as 3DOS (used to load from disk) makes extensive use of bank 7. This meant the code needed to incorporate restoring page 7
as well as setting all the registers etc... This is not needed for the other Z80on utilities as the other disk, tape or microdrive loaders either use the
normal 48k ROM or a swap in small shadow ROM that at most requires a little bit of memory under BASIC. This does push BASIC slightly higher in RAM, but not by much
and nothing that needs as radical a restore as the +3 loader does. It is worth noting that 128k machines do also use bank 7 but use of this can be eliminated
by loading the snapshot in USR 0 mode.
Even with a smaller m/c code block, putting the code in-screen is still probably the safest place as it is less likely to overwrite an important piece of code,
outside of a few snapshots which store code or have the stack on the screen. It also gets around the other issue that you need the decompression code for the
main memory outside of the main memory otherwise it would get overwritten. Without a custom loader (difficult with Microdrives) you cannot really load the full main memory
in one as there is not enough room, also compressing the main memory means it loads faster.
Running this decompression code from the screen gets around this issue, it does however have one big downside... screen corruption.
One solution is to put the decompression code in the printer buffer which sits just above the screen memory, and then only restore the main memory above this
code. This works for some snapshots but unfortunately not that many as it seems the printer buffer is well used surprisingly. This lead me to look at a multi-stage
launcher, one that would restore
the contents of the printer buffer to improve compatibility. An obvious first choice would be to use a gap or same byte sequence in the main memory (usually a
sequence of zeros), which may not
be used by the snapshot. A big downside is this would be in the main memory which is compressed so only accessible after the decompression. So any code going
here needs to be launched from either the screen or the printer buffer which would have the decompression code in it, defeating the objective.
If the code in the gap can restore the printer buffer then this would improve compatibly & remove corruption. So the utility was adapted to
find a gap, put the launcher & printer buffer restore code in the gap and then compress that with the rest of the main memory. The printer buffer is then needed to
just house the decompression code and a jump into the "ingap" code. This worked much better than printer buffer alone but still had compatibility issues as it seems gaps
are in fact used, who knew!
Another place to put the code is just below the stack, assuming this is only normally used as an actual stack (not always the case, see later) and therefore safe,
at least for a few bytes. To minimise the size of this code the printer buffer and ingap code were still used with the ingap code restoring the printer buffer and
the stack code restoring the gap (simple djnz loop). This improved compatibility massively, although there were still some that didn't work.
 |
One reason compatibility wasn't as high as hoped was the stack code was still relatively large at 67bytes and the ingap code even larger
which often meant a suitable gap couldn't be found or the stack code overwrote an important part of the main code. Adding an extra stage helped reduce
both of these code sizes and the best place for this 4th stage was within the BASIC loader.
The BASIC loader is overwritten when the main memory is decompressed, however, it can still set some
of the registers which aren't used in the decompression code (i.e. the alt & ix/iy ones) and also complete some basic set-up including making sure
the AY registers were correct which I avoided initially due to space issues. This change
allowed the other three parts of code to be reduced in size significantly making the final byte difference between the original snapshot and the converted file
a very small 28bytes under the stack. Compatibility was now very high.
- Stage 1 - in the BASIC REM statement. Set register values for alt hl/bc/de/af, ix/iy, i and 16 AY, correct interrupt mode and sets up the main decompression
- Stage 2 - in the printer buffer which is run after loading, this contains the main memory decompression from 0x5c36 onwards leaving the 54byte decompression in place
- Stage 3 - in a continuous byte block in main memory and part of the main memory compression. As such this is only accessible after the main memory is decompression. This contains code to restore the printer buffer (simple ldir), the main memory decompression delta copy (another simple ldir) and a jump into stage 4. If no continuous block can be found this code is placed at the end of the ATTR region of the screen and when restored the best colour is picked to minimise corruption
- Stage 4 - just under the stack and again compressed with the main memory (unless it was in the stack or printer buffer). This contains the rest of the launcher code and is used restore the gap block (a simple djnz loop copy of same byte) and to set the final registers hl,bc,de,af & r before enabling or disabling interrupts and jumping into the main code. Just 28bytes long.
 |
Compatibility of this new 4 stage loader is high with very few snapshots failing to work. For those that do the original in-screen loader has been retained,
and this has also reduced in size by using the new BASIC m/c routine.
Other additions include:
- Ability to split the stack code if the PC (program counter) is also in the stack. This split left 2bytes (a single pop) under the stack and shifting the other 30bytes below the PC out of the way.
- If the stack is in the screen (some loaders) it will check the m/c to see if the first m/c command is a LD SP command and if so puts the stage 4 loader there instead of in-screen.
- Instead of using the stack for Stage 4 you can now use the screen. As the loader is small the corruption is minimal and contained within one pixel line. This does keep the 2bytes below the stack as it needs to do at least one pop command to restore registers af.
- Combined the final code load with the main code load and adapted new BASIC m/c to move it into the correct place after loading. This will also restore the original screen if using a custom loading screen. If there is no space for the original screen the additional load will remain
- Ability to add a pause after loading so you can admire the loading screen before either the snapshot launches or it is overwritten with the original screen if using a custom loading screen
- Ability to force 48k snapshots i.e. don't keep the 128k memory banks. Useful for those incorrectly snapped
- Ability to enter POKEs while creating the file. Useful for adding infinite lives etc...

The utility creates 5 files on the Cartridge. The first is run which allows you to
load the game straight from a reboot by typing RUN and enter. The
second is ThreeWeeks which is the basic loader and then 3 code files
which are the loading screen, the compressed main code and the final one the launcher code which is put
into screen memory as there is nowhere else for it to go.
This Z80 snapshot doesn't come with a loading screen, more the screen is the game screen. In order to
have something nicer to look at while loading you can add a custom screen using the -l option:
z80onmdr "Three Weeks in Paradise (1986)(Mikro-Gen)(48K-128K).z80" -l 3weeks.scr
This will create a MDR file with the following output:

Notice the final file written is now 6912bytes long, this is the game screen with the launcher imbedded already.
The previous example was only 137bytes long as it just required the launcher code.
For 128k snapshots the process is the same, the utility will just create a few more files to cover
the additional memory banks.
Let us try Chase HQ 128k. Again type:
z80onmdr "Chase H.Q. (1989)(Ocean)(128K)[a].z80" -n ChaseHQ
You will notice I added a new option -n. This simply renames the files on the Cartridge to ChaseHQ
instead of taking it from the input which would've been ChaseHQ198 which isn't as nice. The output is now:

Finally the utility can create compilations with a nice menu screen, see right.
To do this you just need
to put the .Z80 names in the command line one after each other. The following example creates a compilation
Cartridge called UPtG 01 with a few well known games on it

To create the compilation type:
./z80onmdr -m "UPtG 01" "Cookie (1983)(Ultimate Play The Game)(16K).z80" -n
