ZXSP v0.8.0 Pre19 is released. zxsp is a simulator for the historic Sinclair ZX home computer families for Mac OS X. zxsp simulates the black&white models ZX80 and ZX81, the Jupiter Ace, the ZX Spectrum models with 16K and 48K ram, the Spanish clone from Inves, the +128, +2, and the +2A/+2B including the Spanish and French localised versions.

There is no 'big' thing as in the last release, but several minor improvements and some 'less important' additions. Jupiter Ace Some errors in handling .tap files for Jupiter Ace have been eliminated. .tap files can be 'instant loaded' now. .ace snapshots can be loaded and saved. I have included 'WORMS' from the Jupiter Cantab demonstration tape in this release. A tiny game, just to show it works. To load it, type load worms get graphics game. There is no wildcard load and no auto-start on the Jupiter Ace! Timex Sinclair TS2020 The b&w machines now use a TS2020 for their tape recorder. Not sure whether i should also use it for all other machines as well, except for those with built-in tape recorder. What's your opinion? As with the +2 / +2A recorder, the pause button is used in conjunction with wind and rewind to auto-stop at block boundaries. All tape recorders I have added sound effects to the tape recorders. I hope you like it. :-) I have also added new menu entries to the context menu, including a 'recent tapes...' menu. New Qt version This is the first release which uses Qt 5.x. This enables me to send bug reports for the current version. B-) The only visible difference (to my knowing) is the superfluous animation when starting/leaving full screen mode.
