About TRS-80 Emulator

This is the first version of a TRS-80 Model I & III emulator. Note that the CoCo is NOT supported. The CoCo has a completely different architecture and is out of scope for the time being. This app is a port of xtrs to Android. Please note that this version is alpha-ware. I'm releasing my work under the Apache V2 Open Source license and it does not cost you anything. Instead of giving this app a one-star rating either wait for updates or help making it better. If you really feel compelled to leave a one-star rating, perhaps consider writing a comment describing what doesn't work. You can find the complete source code at: https://github.com/apuder/TRS-80

The following features are currently supported:
•  Model I & III (text mode only)
•  Cassette support. A default blank tape is automatically created (a different
   cassette image can be mounted via the Edit Configuration dialog). Use the
   rewind button in the action bar to rewind the tape to the beginning
•  Floppy disks
•  Sound
•  Different keyboard types, including a tilt interface where the accelerometer
   triggers cursor keys (for games)
•  Game controller support: joystick and DPAD buttons are mapped to appropriate cursor keys.
   Other game controller keys are mapped to space for now (future version might allow
   custom mapping)
•  Define different keyboard layouts for landscape and portrait mode
•  When an external keyboard is detected, it will automatically be used
   instead of the configured soft-keyboard.
   Use <Ctrl>-B and <Ctrl>-C for <Break> and <Clear> respectively
•  Chromecast support: cast your TRS-80 application to your big screen!

Please consider to contribute a translation: https://github.com/apuder/TRS-80/blob/master/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml

Permissions:
•  Write to external storage: the emulator needs access to ROM and disk
   images that are stored on the SD card
•  Network state: needed for Chromecast
•  Internet: Crashlytics crash reporter

Stunning piece of work...highly recommended

As a retro computing hobbyist, I still have my actual, original TRS-80 Model III. This emulator lets me try out ideas when I'm away, and they work identically on the real thing when I get home. Puder has totally aced the Android TRS-80 emulation! The more I look, the more I find that it can do!

Great idea, the programming works, but oh my goodness the on screen touch keyboard is soooo slooooowww!

I really love this TRS-80 emulator! However, I have recently lost the ability to return to NEWDOS/80 disk image. I was attempting to CLOAD a saved program when it errored then locked up (unbreakable loop of scrolling text). I had to delete it. Now when I create a new disk image I cannot CSAVE or CLOAD any of my programs or return to NEWDOS/80. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times but it will not return to the original setup. Frustrating.

Great functionality for a beta release ... and free to boot! Just as responsive as my original M1 :-) Hoping (please?) for an update to fix some issues I'm seeing: 1. disk changes don't take effect so only option is to delete the instance. 2. External keyboard causes auto key repeat after a 1/2 second delay. Hardware: Galaxy Note 4 running 6.0.1 Edit: willing to pay for improvements

This app has really come a long way. Support for virtual onscreen joystick has been added, and best of all the app no longer stutters when playing sound. Truly excellent.

Nice, fun app! Looking for some Mod 4 support, but not complaining...THANK YOU for taking the time to create something for us Old Skewlers!

Playing TSR-80 games through chromecast is just awesome. Easy enough to figure out with the tutorial, even for a youngster like me who never had one IRL.

Brings back painful memories of when I had a B/W TRS-80 and all my friends had color Commodores! Can't fault the emulator though, it works wonderfully.

The fact this exists is amazing. Thanks to the author of the source code and of this port to Android.

P70%

Hard to emulate too much time consuming poor designer...could have been a lot more modern user friendly.This is pure waste of time and waste of good memory on nice Lg g3 phone .

Been looking for a "properly working" Tandy CoCo Emulator since my actual consoles (Silver w/Tape deck & Eggshell w/thin Joysticks) stopped working...years ago, had many fond memories listening to various sounds w/Seizure-inducing colors, while programing games. Too bad I judged this in a positive way before actually 'trying' to do any emulation on it (besides BASIC typing) Thanks 4-the late heads-up anyway. 8÷{

by E####:

In my house growing up we called our TRS80 4P the 'Trash Eighty' but it is still where I learned my first programming skills, in BASIC. I am still looking for the disc images or whatever for the 4P; and the Deskmate and LS-DOS that we had on 5" floppy. ... I would rate 3 stars but the Chromecast support is clutch, so 4/5 for now.

Nice to see an old friend. Very old. Anyone remember downloading code from Compuserve and storing it on your hard drive/cassette player?? Haha

needs a way to use android keyboard when chromecasting. Very hard to type. Makes Zork hard to play

Works well on both my phone and tablet. Played some old video games. Lots of 8-bit fun.

It's hard to type, but it's still fun to mess around with all the old software.

Actually started out on the TRS-80 Coco but this is as close as it's gonna get. Brought me back to my youth, spending long hours of programming in to the night (when I should have been studying). Its amazing how much information you retain when its something you love. ***** Beware of the tilt and joystick control modes as they can cause havoc with the keyboard (rendering certain characters useless) *****

by C####:

I know it's designed for a phone, but I'm using it on an Asus Transformer, with a keyboard dock, and I can't quite figure out which key sends a 'BREAK'... otherwise it's an excellent piece of software.

Absolutely fantastic! I have the original trs80 1 and 4P as well as a lot more. Nerd retro computer collecter here. Any way. Just loaded a dsk image of new 80dos and my all time favourite game on model 1 level I I, starfighter. Works a treat on my Samsung galaxy S4 but can't strike two keys at the same time? Played this game for hours 30 years ago. Now its in my pocket! Thank you!
