  2.  
  3. I suggest you keep reading if you have a grub/grub2 or windows XP bootloader. If you have plain windows it might be very easy to very frustrating to use the ZXDog64 Operating System.

  5. >First you must download a 2.6GB file and unzip it to the root folder.

  7. >From desktop locate a folder named ZX and then execute from there :sgd10000_DOSemu.desktop

  9. (some file will not work because I haven't uploaded them yet- eg sgd205*.desktop need my ROMS file that is 1.3GB).

  16. -ZXDog is a portable OS. At the moment I have put it on an external USB3 SDD and it is much quicker than my internal HDD.
  17. -Installation : This is uses frugal install : just copy the folder in the root of your HD/USB... (1 catch : you must have grub/grub2 based bootloader).If you still have windows XP then it is even easier to use!
  18. -You can have as many installation as you want in the same drive (just use different folder names!).
  19. -It is actually a Debian Live OS. You can use Debian libraries.
  20.  
  21. Why I use/suggest this:
  22. -This will boot in any 64bit PC old or new (your only concern will be the bootloader -bootable USB will not have issues).
  23. -It used RAM (especially if you have the EXIT parameter). This mean that you need 1GB+ RAM but you will have very good speed.
  24. -It is LEGO-like! Most of the programs are contained in a file (*.squasjfs). The file can be shared with the community and works with just copying in inside the OS folder!

  31. Installation:
  32. Have somehow a grub/grub2 bootloader. This is the tricky part (since windows 10/11) ( hint you can start from https://github.com/noryb009/lick -if you're lucky)
  33. a)Unzip ZXDog64_part1.zip so you have ZXDog64 folder in the root of your USB/HDD (any partition).
  34. b)From the ZXDog_part1_addon_fix01.zip copy the file "zx_desktop_stuff_v01f.squashfs" inside /ZXDog64/live path.
  35.  
  36. You locate the lickmenu.lst (grub) or lickmenu.cfg (grub2) files and add the following lines :

  38. Bootloader entries :
  39. [spoiler]
  40. grub 1 based:
  41. title ZXDog64 -lickmenu.lst NO Changes.dat
  42. find --set-root --ignore-floppies /ZXDog64/live/initrd1.xz
  43. kernel /ZXDog64/live/vmlinuz1 from=/ZXDog64
  44. initrd /ZXDog64/live/initrd1_jon06finit.xz
  45.  
  46. grub2 based :
  47.  
  48. menuentry 'ZXDog64 -lickmenu.cfg NO Changes.dat' {
  49. search --set=root --file /ZXDog64/live/initrd1.xz
  50. linux /ZXDog64/live/vmlinuz1 from=/ZXDog64
  51. initrd /ZXDog64/live/initrd1_jon06finit.xz
  52. }
  53. [/spoiler]

  56.  
  57. Legal Issues:
  58. To be legal you must delete the file ZXDog64/live/zx0-spectrum10k-sgd_v003d . This is a file that contains the ZX 10k collection torrent. I will replace the 2.6 GB file when I manage to upload the newest versions.
