option to emulate a Master 128? #100

Open scruss opened 9 months ago

On Stardot, user Cantabrigian asks:

Does anyone know how to configure it so I can run my code on an emulated Master 128?

I know it can be done in JSBeeb, but the model appears to be hardcoded in Owlet.

Thanks for posting this here, and for your answer. Sounds like this isn't the simple tweak I'd imagine/hoped.

Things have gone very quiet here about Owlet, which is a surprise. I asked a question about changing keyboard mappings a couple of weeks ago, but no responses.

Thanks for this! Pinging @8bitkick too :) this ought to be possible!

It would be great if this were possible! (I'm Cantabrigian, btw, the OP - and don't mind who knows it!)

Back in the 1980's I coded on a 10" b&w TV... on which MODES 0 and 3 were illegible. Now I can read them, I use nothing else, and suddenly realise how quickly a program uses all available RAM compared to MODE 7.

Shadow memory, and hence a Master 128, becomes very desirable!
