Native vs Emulated Keyboard mode

The emulated keyboard is visible on the right side of the graphics display. When you use the emulated keyboard you

can use the

, ,

keys to select a key you wish to press in the emulation. By pressing

the emulator

will accept the selected emulated key for the emulation.

You can however in the Almeria, Portorose, Lyon, Vancouver and London programs by Richard Lang use 'native

keyboard' mode. If you select KEY you will enter this mode in which the 6 keys from the Revelation II behave exactly

like the real keys in these emulations. You can exit this 'native' mode by holding CLR for more than two seconds (you

will hear a beep). You will then return to the 'emulated keyboard' mode.

The Emulations in Revelation II can be set to run at a certain speed. When you are in the 'emulated keyboard' mode

and you press

a number of times, then you will see the speed bar light up. In effect this mode is part of the

emulated keyboard, as when you press

you will go back to the emulated keys in the emulated keyboard.

When the speed bar is highlighted you see that the slider is in the far right position, indicating the emulation is

limited to the maximum speed available for this emulation.

When you use

and

you can set the maximum speed for the emulation. In the Almeria, Portorose, Lyon,

Vancouver or London emulations you will see the 16, 32 an TM position indicating a speed like a 16 bit module, a 32

bit module and the tournament machines. As you can see the emulations can run faster than the originals. The

Almeria, Portorose, Lyon, Vancouver or London Emulations reach the level of the Tournament Machines at 66 MHz.

The same applies for the emulations based upon a 65c02 processor. Here you can see the original speeds for the

65c02 based module sets.
