Simulation of the VT52 and VT100 hardware

Build

About

This is a software simulation of the VT100 hardware. (There is also a VT52 simulation.) The original firmware ROM is built in and executed by an 8080 emulator. Other components include video display with character generator ROM, settings NVRAM, Intel 8251 USART, and a keyboard matrix scanner. The Advanced Video Option is not included.

To build this, you need to have the SDL2 and SDL2_image libraries installed.

Usage

The command line syntax is vt100 [-f] [-D] [-R test] program/device.

  • -f enters full screen. Toggle with F11.
  • -D enters a PDP-10 style DDT for debugging the firmware.
  • -R test runs a CP/M program; this is only for testing.
  • -C turns capslock into control.
  • -Q disables use of OpenGL.
  • -N field rate.
  • program/device is any command to run as a child process providing I/O, or a character device assumed to be a serial port.

F9 is the SET-UP key. See a VT100 User Guide for instructions. Control+F11 exits the simlator.

3D Printed Model

This simulator was inspired by Michael Gardi's 3D printed model, see his instructions and GitHub files.
