posted in Emulator Release by spacetiger on Jul 10th, 2004

After much work and development, Fuse, a Spectrum emulator for Unix/Linux, is now seeing a major update. Here's the list of what's new:

New features:

Scorpion ZS 256 support
Spectrum SE support
Support for the simple 8-bit IDE and the ZXATASP and ZXCF interfaces
Spectrum +3e support
Interface II support
Emulation of joysticks other than the Kempston

Z80 core improvements:

Get undocumented flags right after SCF and BIT
Improved contended memory timings for RLD, RRD and instructions involving (HL), (SP), (IX+dd), (IY+dd)

Debugger improvements:

Memory map pane showing what is present in each 8K chunk
Allow port values to be masked before checking for port read/write breakpoints
Ability to set breakpoints in non-RAM pages

Miscellaneous improvements:

Improved display timings
Improved floating bus timings; Arkanoid and Sidewize now work
Save/restore the high bit of the R register
Fuse can now save snapshot formats other than .z80 and tape formats other than .tap
Improved sound emulation, now using 16 bit samples
Allow real joystick buttons to be equivalent to either 'emulated joystick fire' or 'press a key'
The pokefinder can now search for bytes which have increased or decreased since the last search
HP-UX sound support
After 'flashloading' a tape block, set the registers to the values they would have if the block had been loaded normally
GTK+ 2.x user interface preferred to GTK+ 1.2 by default if available
Don't display an error message if the same message was displayed within the last second
Writing to the Betadisk ports is a no-op if TR-DOS isn't active
Keep Timex Dock cartridge inserted after reset if it had been inserted via File/Open or from the command line
Split the 'ROM selection' dialog into one dialog for each machine
Unused bits of AY registers are zeroed
Remove segfault if one ROM of a multi-ROM machine didn't load
Don't segfault if Space rather than a mouse double click is used to select things in the GTK+ tape browser, debugger or pokefinder
Stop output to the serial printer when printer emulation is disabled
