Notes on running HP machines in MAME
Author: F.Ulivi
License: CC-BY-SA
This is a brief introduction to emulating HP machines on MAME.
This is a list of the HP systems for which I wrote (partially/entirely) the MAME emulation:
I also implemented these peripherals:
- HP9885 (High-level emulation only, no ROM dump is apparently available)
- HP9895
General usage info
See also: https://docs.mamedev.org
MAME operates in two modes: PARTIAL & FULL emulation. By default the key to switch between the modes is "Scroll Lock". In Partial emulation mode, a few keys are diverted to control the MAME UI:
- Tab
- Open/close the UI
- P
- Pause/unpause the emulation
- Esc
- Quit MAME/go up one menu level
- Arrows
- Navigate menus/submenus & change settings
- F3
- Soft reset the machine
The UI is organized in menus & submenus. These are the most important menus, IMO:
- Input (this machine): Defines the association between keys on your keyboard and keys of the emulated machine.
- Dip Switches: Defines the setting of various DIP switches in the system
- Machine Configuration: Defines various settings of the emulation environment (e.g. the baudrate to interface RS232 to a PTY)
- File Manager: Allows loading/unloading/creating the image files of floppies and tapes
- Pseudo Terminals: Reports the device name of active PTYs
- Slot Devices: Controls "pluggable" options (such as external modules, connectors, etc)
ROM images are to be stored in zip files having a well-defined name (see below). The directory where zip files are stored is to be specified with the rompath option.
Keep in mind that the zip files holding optional ROM images should be stored in a sub-directory with a well-defined name (e.g. hp85_rom for HP85 optional ROMs).
There are some useful options for general use:
- -debug: enables the integrated (and very powerful) MAME debugger.
- -log: logs special messages about the running system into error.log. The nature & amount of these messages depend of the emulated system.
- -window: run in a window (as opposed to full screen).
Emulating HPIB disks
Emulation of HPIB disks in MAME is done in two different ways:
- Low-level emulation of drive inside MAME. Currently these models are emulated in this way: HP9895, HP9122C & HP9133. I wrote the emulation of HP9895.
- External high-level emulation of drive. In this case the IEEE-488 bus is exported outside MAME by the "IEEE488 remotizer" module. This module interfaces with external programs through a TCP socket. I wrote a couple of programs to emulate Amigo drives: amigo_drive and hp_disk (see repository on Github). The latter is GUI based and generally easier to use.
In either case the emulated system needs to have a HPIB port just like in the real world. It can be integrated (as in HP64000) or provided by an optional module (e.g. HP85). In the latter case the module needs to be virtually "plugged" into an I/O slot. The examples listed below detail the options needed to load HPIB modules, where applicable.
A note regarding CP/M disks on HP86: CP/M on HP86 relies on a-priori knowledge of disk geometry. There is a fixed association between drive model and disk geometry. This means that a disk originally imaged on a 82901 must be loaded into an emulated 82901 drive or access to filesystem from CP/M won't work correctly.
HP85A
What is implemented
- Base system with 16k of RAM
- Internal printer
- DC100 tape drive

How to invoke MAME
Base:
mame hp85 -rompath <ROM directory>
To load optional ROMS:
-rom1..6 <ROM name>
Where <ROM name> is "service", "assembler", "matrix" , "io", "mass" (i.e. the name of the image ZIP file, see above).
To load a tape image:
-utap <HTI file name>
(To create an empty tape file, use the "file manager" entry in MAME UI. A newly-created file is just like a virgin tape, it needs to be formatted before 1st use)
To redirect the printer output to image files:
-bitb1 <output file for graphic image> -bitb2 <output file for text>
To add 82937 module:
-slot1..4 82937_hpib
To add HP9895 drive once 82937 is loaded:
-slot1:82937_hpib:ieee_dev hp9895
(Use the same slot number as the one used to load the 82937 module)
Once HP9895 is loaded, use these options to load floppy images:
-flop1 <image for drive 0> -flop2 <image for drive 1>
To interface to an external program through the IEEE488 remotizer, using 1234 TCP port:
-slot1:82937_hpib:ieee_rem remote488 -bitb1 socket.localhost:1234
Note that the "bitb" indexes of printer output shift up by 1 once the remotizer is in use (so they become -bitb2 and -bitb3).
To add 82939 module:
-slot1..4 82939_serial
To connect serial line to something once 82939 is loaded (e.g. a PTY):
-slot1:82939_serial:rs232 pty
(Use the same slot number as the one used to load the 82939 module. See also "machine configuration" and "pseudo terminals" in MAME UI.)
Example Start HP85A with Mass storage ROM, HP82937, HP9895 drive and "85GamesPac1.mfi" image in drive #0:
mame hp85 -rompath <whatever> -slot4 82937_hpib -rom1 mass -slot4:82937_hpib:ieee_dev hp9895 -flop1 85GamesPac1.mfi

How to invoke MAME
Base:
mame hp9845b -rompath <ROM directory> mame hp9845c -rompath <ROM directory> mame hp9845t -rompath <ROM directory> mame hp9845b_de -rompath <ROM directory> mame hp9845c_de -rompath <ROM directory> mame hp9845t_de -rompath <ROM directory>
To load optional ROMS:
-rom1..8 <ROM name>
For ROM names see above. I/O Opt ROM has two ROMs: one for PPU (to be loaded with -rom1 iob:ppu_rom) and one for LPU (to be loaded with -rom2 iob:lpu_rom).
To set different amount of RAM:
-ram <RAM amount>
Where <RAM amount> is 64k or 320k or 448k.
To add 98032 module:
-slot0..3 98032_gpio
To connect a HP9885 drive to 98032 module:
-slot1:98032_gpio:gpio hp9885
To add 98034 module:
-slot0..3 98034_hpib
To connect a HP9895 to 98034 module:

To interface to an external program through the IEEE488 remotizer, using 1234 TCP port:
-slot1:98034_hpib:ieee_rem remote488 -bitb1 socket.localhost:1234
Note that the "bitb" indexes of printer output shift up by 1 once the remotizer is in use (so they become -bitb2 and -bitb3).

How to invoke MAME
Base:
mame hp64k -rompath <ROM directory>
To load floppy images:
-flop1 <image for drive #0> -flop2 <image for drive #1>
To interface to an external program through the IEEE488 remotizer, using 1234 TCP port:
-ieee_rem remote488 -bitb socket.localhost:1234
To connect RS232 port to PTY:
-rs232 pty
Example Start HP64000 with OS images in drive #0 & #1:
mame hp64k -rompath <whatever> -flop1 64000-2.TD0 -flop2 64000-3.TD0
Notes
The "System source" DIP switch selects what happens at boot time:
- Sys bus: boot from HPIB connected drive
- Local storage-addressable: boot from floppies
- Performance verification: start built-in diagnostic
HP2645
What is implemented

How to invoke MAME
Base:
mame hp2645 -rompath <ROM directory>
To connect RS232 port to PTY:
-rs232 pty
To load a cartridge in U0 drive:
-utap1 <HTI file name>
How to load a binary program
To load a binary program (e.g. a game) into emulated terminal follow these steps (Linux only):
- Connect a PTY to RS232 port (see above)
- Set the baud rate at most at 4800 by using the Machine configuration menu entry. Ensure that the RS232 configuration for the terminal and the PTY match.
- By using the Pseudo terminals menu entry read the current PTY in use (e.g. /dev/pts/10).
- From a shell issue this command: cp invade.txt /dev/pts/10. Adapt this to the file to be loaded and the PTY device.
- Enjoy!
Alternatively, a binary program can be loaded from a tape image. The following instructions assume that the file to be loaded is first on tape.
- Start emulation and load tape image into utap1 drive with File Manager (in UI menu)
- Ensure that terminal is in local mode
- Press GOLD, f1 and READ
- Reading from tape should start.
