Since Speccy for Windows 5.4, I have gotten the error " Failed loading file" when loading various snapshots.  One such snapshot is "Bosconian '87 (1987)(Mastertronic)[128K].z80".  This snapshot comes directly from "Sinclair_ZX_Spectrum_TOSEC_2012_04_23_Z80.rar".

Can you help?

Not unless I have the snapshot that fails to load.

Thanks. I have successfully loaded Bosconian snapshot you provided on the latest Speccy for Windows. You might be missing some Spectrum system ROMs required by this snapshot.

I forgot to add the IF1.ROM.  Bosconian now loads.  But the attached Donkey Kong snapshot still doesn't load.  It loads in Speccy 5.3.  I double-checked all the system ROMs.
This is a Pentagon (Russian Spectrum clone) snapshot. There are some problems loading these on the current Speccy, but the new version will load them well.

This issue has been fixed in Speccy 5.9, released tonight. Please, download from the web site and give it a try!
