Speccy 1.3 released

[Robert]

Sinclair Spectrum emulator

 

The Latest Version of Speccy is 1.3

The new Speccy 1.3 adds support for multiple disk drives and GZIPped disk images, contains improved and bugfixed disk controller emulation, improves support for DISCiPLE and +D hardware.

Speccy-Symbian 1.3 adds "fill-screen" zoom mode, better TV scanline simulation, and an optional framerate display. The display rendering routines have once again been rehashed and optimized. You can now record in-game music into MIDI files and use them as ringtones.

Please note that I have updated Speccy-Symbian to version 1.3.1 to fix a problem with narrow vertical displays (Nokia N73). This version also enables all file dialogs in the built-in menu, as I have finally fixed the opendir() problem.
