NABU PC Emulation under MAME

[shirsch]

Thanks SO much! That did the trick and I now have 80-colum operation working.

How to build and run on Ubuntu 22.04, for those of us coming in late:

git clone git@github.com:brijohn/mame.git mame-nabu
cd mame-nabu
git checkout nabupc_wip
make -j6
mkdir -p roms/nabupc
cd roms/nabupc
wget 'https://www.nabunetwork.com/download-manager.php?id=2' -O nabupc-u53-90020060-revb-2764.zip
unzip nabupc-u53-90020060-revb-2764.zip
rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' *
cd -
./mame nabupc -window -kbd nabu_hle -hcca null_modem -bitb socket.127.0.0.1:5816 -video opengl

Thanks Alex.

To run the network simulator:

mkdir nabusim
cd nabusim
wget https://github.com/GryBsh/NabuNetworkEmulator/releases/download/0.9.9-beta6/nns-linux-x64.zip -O nns-linux-x64.zip
unzip nns-linux-x64.zip
./nns

Run mame as above and the NABU PC will boot up into the emulated NABU Network.

I need to figure out how to fix OpenNabu IPL...the disk boot is broken and I have no idea how to fix it.
