CPM_Player

CP/M player allows to run CP/M .COM programs on Windows.

It does not simulates the whole HW. It just simulates CP/M at BIOS/BDOS call level, using native Windows files. A CP/M disk maps to a windows folder.

There are many CP/M simulators that follow this approach. Why a new one? Cool Features:

• Support for several CP/M flavors:
  • CP/M 2.2, CP/M 3.1 (CP/M Plus)
  • Personal CP/M, Cromenco CDOS 2.01
• Enhanced text terminal support:
  • ANSI/VT100/VT52/ADM-3A/Televideo 9XX
  • Can define a Custom terminal
  • Support for original charset (Osborne/H19/Z19 terminal)
  • Support for displaying blocky graphics (Kaypro/Osborne/WaveMate Terminal-125/IMSAI VIO)
  • Support for loading fonts (Orborne)
• Support for graphics terminal:
  • TV Cromenco Dazzler (including Joysticks)
  • Tektronix 4010/4014
  • VT100 + Digital Engeneering RG512 Retro-Graphics card
  • Generic Color GSX terminal
• Support for running .SUB files, enhanced with some additional handly automation commands

This proyect was started back in 2006 based on Takeda Toshiya CP/M Player for Win32 dated 2004.03.08. It was quite modified and enhanced.

CP/M Software

All these features allows to run the SW I collected over time by just dragging and dropping the 00_RUN.SUB (or 00_TEST.SUB or 00_DEMO.SUB) file on the simulator's main window.

All the collection can be found in sw folder.

Some cool programs to try out:

• BLS Pascal 1.0 (1981): The ancestor of Turbo Pascal, ported to CP/M from NASCOM
• GrafTalk 1.1 (1982): Configured to run on RG512 Retrographics
• DR Logo 2.0 (1983): Ported from Amstrad, runs on CP/M 2.2 with GSX standard driver
• TeleDraw (1983): An early version of Dr Draw bundled with Televideo 803, runs on CP/M 2.2 with GSX standard driver
• Sargon Chess 1.0 (1978): Original program using WaveMate Jupiter III Terminal-125 for board graphics
• SubLOGIC Flight Simulator FS1 (1979): Ported from TRS-80. Runs on CP/M 2.2 with simulated Terminal-125 (has same blocky semigraphics as TRS-80). Also available a very cool fictional vector graphics HiRes version
• Micro-Soft Altair BASIC 3.2 (1975): Ported to CP/M
