ZEsarUX-0.5 - new version of ZX80/81/Spectrum emulator

Post by chernandezba »

Hi

I have uploaded a new version of my ZX80/81/Spectrum emulator on
http://sourceforge.net/projects/zesarux/

Changelog is:

Added real video display (beta) - for Spectrum (rainbow effect) and ZX80/81 (non standard & hi-res modes)
Speeded up video routines using pixel cache
Better handling of cpu timer when using pthreads
Better handling of alternate character set on curses
Added some more programs to ZX80, ZX81 and Spectrum
Added install process
Added Mac Os App bundle
Added generating bintargz to build process
Added autodetection of names of tapes/snapshots and setting emulation options
Added real tape loading simulation (sound and loading stripes) for spectrum/zx80/81
Changed behaviour on menu: some options, like Load Snapshot, exits automatically from the menu when selected
Changed behaviour on fileselector:
* hidden files/folders (starting with .) are hidden by default
* last directory remembered when opening tapes and snapshots
* opening install directory / app bundle by default when opening tapes and snapshots
Fixed some audio bugs when using alsa & pthreads
Fixed bug when loading some z80 snapshots (v3, machine type 3 - 48k + M.G.T.)
Fixed bug generating an extra audio byte on every start of frame display on Spectrum. It made impossible to generate a true pulse tone

-Changes for ZX80/81:
ZX80/81 CPU Core real synchronization
Improved leezx81
Added zx80/zx81 smp tape loading (raw audio)
Added .o/.p zx80/81 tape and snapshot saving
Added selection of ZX80/81 RAM size in menu
Added Bi-Pak ZON-X81 Sound for ZX80/81. It's the same AY Chip of the Spectrum 128k models
Added experimental support for Hi-Res and non-standard video modes on ZX80/81:
* UDG, CHR$128: Added support for additional ram on 2000H
* WRX
* HRG
* Other hi-res modes, used on Manic Miner and TetrisHR for example
Fixed bug loading snaps and tape on zx80/81 and less than 16kb
Fixed bug loading ZX80/81 snapshot when selected Spectrum mode before


Cheers
Cesar
