Custom Keymap This menu allows you to map one of the Spectrum keys acces- sible through the plugin’s virtual keyboard to each one of the buttons.

Hacking graphics

Due to ZXBox’s simple (but fast) scaling to the screen by dropping lines and columns some games can become unplayable. It is possible to hack graphics to make them better visible with the help of an utility such as the \Spectrum Graphics Editor". Useful tools can be found at the \World of Spectrum" site (http://www.worldofspectrum.org/utilities. html).

10.4 Applications

10.4.1 Battery Benchmark

The Battery Benchmark Plugin enables you to test your battery’s performance, while making normal use of your player. Once loaded it will run in the background (TSR plu- gin), reading various info about your battery while you use it. Once you nish your ses- sion you can nd the benchmark output data in a le on your player /battery bench.txt. Please submit your results to the Rockbox wiki. ZBatteryRuntime

How it works

After you load the plug-in the operation of your player continues as normal. You can do whatever you could do before loading the plugin except loading another plugin. If you happen to load a plugin while benchmarking, a splash screen will inform you about the termination of the benchmark. While you operate it will log various battery related information every time the disk is activated by external causes, (buer rell, open directory, USB mode) or an hour passes without updating the log le.

The plugin will continue to log info until:

Another plugin is loaded.

The player is shut down.

The battery is empty.

Between disk activity (or an hour), it will log info in memory (every measurement is captured when the voltage changes). If there are too many measurements older entries will be deleted and the log le will inform the user about the interval where entries were
