Topic: Emulators

Uhm, considering the last release of Fuse I reported on was back in August, I can safely consider myself slack for only now mentioning that the version number has been upped by a... major-ish number. The "9" has become a "10", with 0.10.0.1 being available. But you'll already know about the newness from elsewhere, so I'm really just bringing raww.org up to date. About bloody time, eh?
I'll try to post more catch-up news during the next few days.

Very quick pointer to Gasmans latest "what shall I do with all my spare time" project... it's a Speccy emulator written in Javascript. Uhm. That's it for the news side of things... go play.

Over on World Of Spectrum there's news of a new release of Gp2xpectrum - tho' the new version doesn't appear over at gp2x.de yet so I'm not sure why I'm linking there. Instead you'll be wanting to get the new version from WOS, which removes the automatic rebooting when loading a +3 disc, and adds USB keyboard support.

Very quick pointer to a new version of Fuse PSP, the port of Fuse for the... PSP. It's a quick pointer because not much has changed. So there.

I see that Woody released a new version of his wonderful SpecEmu recently. It's v2.7 build 160808 (or actually v2.8 if you check the changelog). Changes are... minimal, being basically the addition of Cheetah Specdrum support. Boom-bang-tish!

If you're the owner of a shiny PSP handheld console thing, you'll be over the moon to know of the release of v0.9.0.25 of Fuse PSP, the port of Fuse to the, uhm, PSP. There's a selection of changes which I won't bore you with, tho' some good stuff including +3 support, Kempston support, and a fix for a nasty memory leak. There's even a virtual keyboard should you feel the need to type LOAD"" or something.

Marginally late (hey, I was moving house and minus internets, remember) is news of the latest beta version of the more-impressive-than-the-website-suggests SpecEmu - in fact it's one of my oft-used toolset for ZX work. This is build 120708 of v2.7 of the emulator, and has... some changes. Probably. There's no change-list in the archive, and a very cursory glance at WOS shows no news in the forums. So it's a download-and-see job.

About, ooh, a month ago there was an update to DSP, the ZX and multi-machine emulator. There's a couple bugfixes to the Z80 code, so you'll be wanting to grab v0.8b3 if you're a user.

Riskej over on Speccy Live points us to the latest port of the sweetly-pretty Fuse emulator. Fuse PSP, as it's name would suggest, is for the Playstation Portable. It's currently provided as a binary built for v2.00+ PSP's, or you can grab the source. Of course.

I'm on dial-up at the moment, using my wifes laptop, and I thought I'd grab some emulators. So I popped over to the homepage of EightyOne and lo, it had been increased in version since last I checked. How did that slip through the net? Quite easily apparently. So, v1.0a came out about a month ago, with two bugfixes (block in/out and an occasionally duplicated NMI), and two new features - a Memory Browser and the addition of symbols in the debugger. Marvelous.
