Orao vs Galeb emulator: which one runs the verifier demo first?

4 replies · 28 views

Friendly competition. I am building a browser emulator front end and want to compare two machines running the same tiny demo: a program that prints OK when a hard-coded signed record verifies.

Plan: Galeb ROM is already in my toolbox, Orao ROM less so. Is there any freely redistributable image for either machine, or must I ask owners to dump their own? I do not want to cause licence trouble.

Also curious: has someone documented the Orao display timing? I'm getting a wobbling picture in my emulator.

Please don't ship ROM images you are unsure about. Ask for permission or ask owners to dump their own. The community of collectors is friendly and usually helpful.

Display wobble on Orao is usually a timing mismatch between the CPU wait states and the video refresh. Try to model the memory contention explicitly instead of cycle-averaging.

I have a scope. Send me what you want to see, I will measure a real one and send the traces.

You are all wonderful. Plan: post a screenshot of the wobble tomorrow, as a description, since we can't upload yet.
