Luca Bisti
A new version of RealSpectrum has been released!
New in v0.50.23 (May 14th 2000)
- New Spectrum models: 16K, +2A, +3 and Scorpion 256. Note: the ROM set
archive has changed!
- Kempston mouse support for Pentagon and Scorpion (ALT-F3).
- Great speed improvement, over 30% faster in terms of FPS!
- Heavy Z80 core changes.
- 48K multicolor timings inserted (based on issue 4S).
- Ability to disable contended memory emulation to gain extra speed at
the cost of a degraded visual quality.
Contended memory is required for 100% exact rendering of multicolor
effects.
- DISCiPLE/+D rom files can be specified in the INI file; support for
pre-booted (ROM+SYS) rom files (16384 bytes instead of 8192).
- Default directory customizations in the INI file for snapshot, tapes
and disks.
- Screenshot saving in BMP, SCR, PCX and TGA format (ALT-F11)
- AZX and YM music recording and new Sound Recorder dialog (ALT-F12)
- Switch to skip the welcome message ("-nopause" from the command line
and "WelcomeMessage" in the INI).
- Tons of bugfixes (Z80 snapshot loader, UNIDOS saving, Z80 core, etc.)
