Sinclair ZX Spectrum Software and Peripheral Catalogues

Sinclair Software and Peripheral Catalogues described the whole range of Sinclair branded software (at that particular time). As time went on the catalogues grew and also later included Sinclair branded peripherals such as Microdrives, the ZX Printer, Interface 1 and Interface 2. Most early ZX Spectrums (rubber keyed 16K and 48K) came boxed with a catalogue. More catalogues will be added to this article as they come to light.

SkoolKit 4.0 Released

SkoolKit is a set of command line utilities for disassembling Spectrum software, into ASM format or into a bunch of HTML pages.

Here are some of the things that SkoolKit can do:
— disassemble SNA snapshots, Z80 snapshots, SZX snapshots, and raw binary files
— do a reasonable job of distinguishing code from data by means of the default static code analysis algorithm
— do a much better job of distinguishing code from data by using a profile, trace or map produced by Fuse, SpecEmu, Spud, Zero or Z80
— automatically label routine entry points
— automatically annotate every routine entry point with a list of the callers (hyperlinked in the HTML output)
— create hyperlinks between routines and data blocks that refer to each other (by use of the #R macro in annotations, and automatically in the operands of CALL, JP, DEFW and LD instructions)
— create still or animated PNG/GIF images from graphic data in the snapshot
— from a single source file, produce ASM files with or without bug fixes, and with or without unused bytes removed
— produce a 'perfect' snapshot from a TAP/TZX file (i.e. a snapshot of the RAM as it would be immediately after the tape has loaded)
— convert a binary file into a TAP file containing a BASIC loader
