Sinclair Spectrum emulator

The Latest Version of Speccy is 1.2

Version 1.2 adds full support for the BetaDisk/TR-DOS interface. Disk images in .FDI, .TRD, .SCL, and Hobeta (.$) formats can now be loaded and saved (as far as the format limitations allow). There are also multiple fixes to the Z80 core and the Spectrum hardware emulation. Speccy-Symbian 1.2 is coming in the next few days.

Alpha 3 Out

 

I wasn't going to put another alpha out at least until I had forms done, but today I think I solved a major corruption bug with the fat library I'm using. Go ahead and try Alpha 3 and see if your card writes are more safe.

 

Changed:

- Fix for corruption bug on creating new files or directories.

- Added quicksearch feature to hold people over until forms (eg: typing "g DSOrganize" to do a google search for DSOrganize).
