Re: Speccy Release News
Hello, All!
I have released Speccy 3.6 today, a new version of my Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulator for Android, Windows, and Linux:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.speccy (free Android version)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.speccy.deluxe (full Android version)
http://fms.komkon.org/Speccy (free Windows and Linux versions)
The most important addition is the fast tape loading, via patched LD-BYTES ROM call, requested by many users. Any standard tape will now load instantly. Custom tape loaders will still run at their normal pace (i.e. slow).
Based on the discussion at the WorldOfSpectrum forum, I have also added Magnum Phaser light gun emulation (Lightgun Games pack) and the second Kempston joystick connected to port 5Fh (Bomb Munchies).
ALL CHANGES:
* Released new Speccy 3.6 for Windows and Linux.
* Added Magnum Light Phaser emulation (Lightgun Games).
* Added fast tape loading, via patched LD-BYTES ROM call.
* Tapes with custom loaders still load at original speed.
* Fixed current attribute at port FFh (Solar Invasion, etc).
* Added second Kempston joystick at port 5Fh (Bomb Munchies).
* Fixed automatic tape startup to happen when ENTER pressed.
* Now disabling TRDOS when loading a tape image.
* Fixed freeing tape memory on exit.
* Added "Emulation | Fast Tape Loader" option to Speccy-Android.
* Added "Emulation | Input | Magnum Phaser Light Gun" option to Speccy-Android.
* Added -fasttap and -nofasttap command line options to Speccy-Linux.
* Added -lightgun and -amouse command line options to Speccy-Linux.
* Added "Fast Tape Loader" option to Speccy-Windows.
* Added "Tape Running" option to Speccy-Windows.
* Fixed ALT key in Sam Coupe mode on Speccy-Windows.
* Fixed "Draw All Frames" menu option in Speccy-Windows.
Enjoy!
