faststart.lua

Temporarily speeds up the first few seconds of emulation to accelerate boot/startup.

A simple on-screen profiler (overlay) designed for the ZX Spectrum Next that tracks up to 8 timers using writes to NEXTREG 127 (0x7F) to control the timers.

NextBASIC Example

  10 REG 127, 1: REM Start timer 1
  20 REM The code you want to time goes here
  20 REG 127, 256-1: REM Stop timer 1

Z80 Assembly Example

  nextreg $7f, 1  ; Start timer 1

  ; ... The code you want to time goes here

  nextreg $7f, -1 ; Stop timer 1

NEXTREG values

*NextBASIC's REG command does not accept negative numbers. Use 256-n where n is the timer you want to stop.
