EmuZWin 2.6 Release 1.2 Beta Released!

[IxI SoNiK IxI]

EmuZWin is a Spectrum-128K/48K emulator for Windows.

 

• Net Play developed more.
   
  
• Keyboard-separated games also are supported and it is possible to play the same game from several client PC's with running emulators.
   
  
• Automatic switching rules (for time-separated games) can now be set very easy, there are no programmer skill required at all to setup a scenario). Simple example of such scenario provided for BATTY, just load it and try.
   
  
• Compression (UCL and LZip) also are supported.
   
  
• Hidden Moves mode made hidden also for Direct-X full screen.
   
  
• Keyboard state now provided by the server rather then restoring it while "replaying" frames like in Action Replay.
   
  
• Separate top menu item Net added in the main menu, and hot keys to control connection without switching to Connection window (Alt-0 - pass moves to the next player, Alt-1 - to the first, etc. to Alt-8 and Alt-9 to request moves).
   
  
• Also some bugs fixed on connection/disconnection, so working with Net Play became more stable and speed of playing over network became more reliable. Now Net Play tested in a local network with two computers connected and works well in such case.
   
  
• Some possible problems with graphic output fixed, especially for Windows9x and low desktop resolutions. Working under 16 colors on real hardware can be still slow (case of 1 bit per pixel, 4 planes). But other modes work fast enough now. If 320x200x256 video mode requested for DirectX full-screen but the hardware can not satisfy this request,the next mode 640x400x256 is tryed.
   
  
• Smooth Scale graphic filter now requires only MMX, and not need SSE2 to be available (so it can work on Pentium II with MMX, at least).
   
  
• Configuration dialog redesigned a bit to fit in lowest resolution display (640x400).
   
  
• An option added 'Dynamic priorities' (in the Configuration), by default it is reset. It has effect in NT/2K/XP and controls treads priority on-fly achieving in some cases better performance (but setting permanent task priority can stop working).
