CPCEC (Amstrad CPC emulator), ZXSEC (Sinclair Spectrum emulator) and CSFEC (Commodore 64 emulator) v20240328 - Released

Details: Category: Windows; Published: 30 March 2024

What's New:

-- minor patch adding RUNEC, a file helper that takes a file as a parameter and launches the emulator that can read it, and fixing many warnings caused by questionable programming styles. The SDL2 version fixes double keypresses when redefining the joystick keys while debugging, as well as a crash when compiling the emulators with small window sizes. The common CDT/TZX/PZX player performs sanity checks on blocks $19 and $2B. The Z80 module relies on a new macro, Z80_DUMB to perform dummy reads. CPU clock options are no longer based on 1x, 2x, 3x and 4x, but on 1x, 2x, 4x and 8x. Autorunning a tape disables disc drives only when rebooting the system, instead of disabling the drives until a reset. CSFEC fixes two bugs in the VIC-II (reading register 26 must always set the top four bits: "HVSC 20 Years"; writing register 17 with the same old value must not remove the border: "Paradroid") and another one in the snapshot loader (pending CIA2 events were sent to CIA1) when loading snapshots. MSXEC now reads the file MSXEC.SHA as text instead of binary (reported by CPCbegin). ZXSEC can save Z80 snapshots (version 3), compression is optional. The package includes two new files, CSFEC-3B.VPL for CSFEC and MSXEC-3B.VPL for MSXEC; users can edit them to implement new colour palettes.

ColecoDS v9.5 - Released

Details: Category: Nintendo DS; Published: 30 March 2024

What's New:

- ADAMnet improvement for disk/tape handling. Improved timing, improved caching and more disk/tape games should load and run correctly.
- DSI gets a massive 2MB of Expansion RAM (32 banks of 64K). DS-Lite/Phat still has 128K (base 64K plus the standard 64K expansion RAM).
- Adam now properly handles 320K disks and three drive bays are virtually attached (two 320K disk drives and the internal Tape drive at 256K).
- Adam full keyboard now uses an LED indicator under the CAPS LOCK button to indicate status.
- Adam has improved keyboard graphic with more keys added.
- Adam no longer mirrors RAM as a Colecovision would.
- Adam optimization provided 5% improved emulation speed which should make most everything playable even on the older DS-Lite/Phat.
- Adam supports the 32K expanded ROM and running carts under Adam emulation - name your ROMs as .adm so it loads into the right place in memory.
- Tatung Einstein now has two proper standard 200K disk drives.
- Tatung Einstein full keyboard now uses LED indicators under the SHIFT/CTRL/GRAPH and ALPHA LOCK keys for a visual improvement.
- Tatung Einstein properly handles the backspace key when using the Alpha-Numeric keyboard overlay.
- 2000 individual game configurations are supported - save/load states optimized and numerous tweaks under the hood.
