Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulator for the DS

ZXDS 0.6.0 beta 1 (10.10.2007)

 

+ Full memory and IO contention emulation.

+ Proper floating bus emulation.

+ T-state accurate screen sampling.

= About everything should now work like on real machines, including multicolor effects.

+ Accurate speaker synthesis instead of discrete sampling.

+ Screen is now triple buffered and the LCD refresh rate is synced to 50Hz. This results in extremely smooth and tearing-free display.

* Fixed opening of files from directories of varying depth. It sometimes failed before due broken chdir(), so full names are used now instead.

* Few subtle fixes regarding snapshots (#7FFD, IFF2, T counter, tape eject).

- Dropped the .ds.gba version, as people need to DLDI patch it themselves *before* the loader is appended anyway.
