Hu-BASIC program

If you rewrite the Hu-BASIC MZT file header from offset 40h as follows, you can automatically execute the BASIC program immediately after Hu-BASIC.

0040: 50 41 54 3A 3B 12 0C ED F4 07 ED F4 08 ED F4 05
0050: ED F4 06 7A 26 06 05 52 55 4E 22 0D FF FF 41 4B
0060: 50 3A 09 80 3C 78 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
0070: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

To automatically run a BASIC program, enter RUN"[CR] in the F1 key, and after loading BASIC, it will be perfromed internally when pressing the F1 key.

Therefore, in addition to 'PAT:' of MZ700Win, 'AKP:' which performs key input automatically is extended. To do so, specify the 4 bytes after 'AKP:'

  • Strobe of MZ-700's key matrix.
  • Key to be pressed (pressed where bit is set).
  • Wait time from loading to key press (0-255, 1/60 second unit).
  • Time when key is pressed (0-127, 1/60 second unit).
