How to run ESXDOS in Fuse emulator of ZX Spectrum

1. Preparing disk image

1.1 Getting HdfMonkey, building and installing it

sudo apt install autoconf automake debhelper

git clone https://github.com/gasman/hdfmonkey.git

dpkg-source -b hdfmonkey

cd hdfmonkey/

dpkg-buildpackage

cd ..

sudo apt install ./hdfmonkey_0.4.1_amd64.deb

1.2 Creating FAT32 image right way

dd if=/dev/zero of=esxdos.raw bs=256M count=1

Install dosfstools for FAT32 support

mkfs.vfat -F32 -s4 esxdos.raw

Install fuse-emulator-utils for raw2header

raw2hdf -v 1.1 esxdos.raw esxdos.hdf

Copy ESXDOS files taken from https://esxdos.org/

hdfmonkey put esxdos.hdf /mnt/c/Downloads/esxdos/* /

2. Running FUSE emulator

2.1 Flashing DivMMC EEPROM

Run FUSE (sorry for Windows =)

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Fuse\fuse.exe" --no-divide --divmmc --no-divmmc-write-protect --divmmc-file C:\Downloads\esxdos.hdf C:\Downloads\esxdos\ESXMMC.TAP

Press a key to flash DivMMC EEPROM
Write protect DivMMC in Options->Peripherals->Disk menu
Run debugger in Machine->Debugger menu
Enter command br 0 to set breakpoint at 0x0000 address, press Continue button
Select Machine->Hard reset
When debugger stops executing, select File->Save snapshot, and save as esxdos.szx
