ZXDS v0.9.3 Beta 1

[dlevere]

NDS developer Patrik Rak has released Beta 1 version 0.9.3 of the emulator for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum Nintendo DS called ZXDS. Full changelog listed below.

ZXDS 0.9.3 beta 1 (17.3.2012)

Proper save requester, including support for basic file management operations.

Alternate between two different directories by tapping the save/load file icon again.

Quickly switch models in load requester with various L/R+X combinations.

Risky operations now use confirmation requesters.

It is now possible to step the emulation frame by frame.

Added pouet.net and Tipshop pokes library to servers.cfg.

Implemented HTTP redirects, required by some pouet.net sites.

Directly poke decimal, hexadecimal, or binary values in the data dump view.

Switched to PNG for background and icon graphics. The BMP support remains,
but note that some names have changed - check skins/readme.txt for details.

Augmented the 128k keyboard graphics with symbol characters. Thanks, Paddy.

The selected keyboard is now saved to the config file.

Distinguish the load and save slot screens with colored slot frames.

Disable the keyboard matrix effect during multiplayer session.

It is often difficult enough to configure the controls even without it.

Switching to maximum speed while loading tapes in fast mode now disables
the display updates entirely. Handy for slight speed boost if you feel desperate.

Other subtle changes (nicer boot message, increased cheat poke limit).

Fixed loading of Pentagon SZX files (ROM paging, step direction).

Minor bugfixes (libfat mkdir and aliasing, ZIP long name skipping).

Happy birthday, ZXDS.

ZXDS 1.1.0

Change log (v1.1.0):

+ Custom ROMs support. See roms/readme.txt for more info.
+ IF2 ROMs and 48k/128k ROMs can be loaded directly in load requester.
+ Both SZX and Z80 snapshots now support custom ROMs as well.

Simply choose the model or reset the machine while a disk is loaded.
You can also autoboot any disk with current model by using R+A.

This makes both Beta 128 and many Beta 48 programs work at the same time.
+ True Beta 48 mode can be enabled with proper beta48.rom (such as TK90X's CBI95 ROM).
+ Added NMI aka Magic button - becomes useful with some custom ROMs.
+ Added custom keyboards for more games as well as one for more comfortable text typing.
+ Added Virtual TR-DOS games and ZX AAA demos sites to servers.cfg.
* Pressing Start twice upon startup now takes you to the last used files view.
* Few subtle changes (save slot media loading, ROM launch stats).
* Little optimizations (Z80 core, sound generation, normal speed load mode).
* Subtle emulation improvements (authentic SCF/CCF, MEMPTR and AY white noise).
* Minor bugfixes (grayscale border, step direction bit).
! Merry Christmas.
