ZEsarUX changelog:
New things added:
Added ZX Microdrive emulation on ZX Spectrum: that includes:
Standard MDR emulation. Allow to browse inside MDR files, see file map, fragmentation, rename files, sectors info, chkdsk and emulate bad sectors
Raw microdrive emulation. Supporting other non-interface1 rom file formats, like extending microdrive space with Multiface 128 or CP/M for LEC memory. Allow to see microdrive raw map (gap zones, sync bytes, data) and have "real problems", like autogenerate bad sectors or stretching the microdrive when it's new.
Simulate data sound on read and write
Visual Microdrive: Allow to see a microdrive cartridge in action
Added Visual Cassette Tape window
Added LEC memory extension emulation
Added machines Czerweny CZ 1000, CZ 1500, CZ 1000 Plus, CZ 1500 Plus, CZ 2000, CZ Spectrum, CZ Spectrum Plus
Added Memory Cheat feature: useful to find counters of energy, bombs, ammo or any other cheat in a game
Added Find text string on memory menu
Added Quicksave screen function
Added setting to disable persistent writes on Z88 Cards
Added CPC Additional ROMS emulation
Improvements:
Allow save screen to bmp for most machines

Allow to load an additional config file .zesaruxdevrc
Allow to define Left Alt, Left Ctrl, Left Shift or TAB as Joystick Fire action
Allow to change current tape read position on Input Tape Viewer for .tap files
Allow loading a 8kb rom in ZX80 (for example the ZX81 rom, like an upgraded ZX80 to ZX81)
Allow magnify sprites on View Sprites
Improve compilation: settings --enable-memptr --enable-visualmem --enable-cpustats are enabled by default on ./configure
Improved Inves Spectrum+ emulation: alert when a game may crash due to the Inves write-on-interrupt bug
Improved Jupiter Ace emulation: allow to hear MIC output
Improved CPC emulation: allow to hear Cassete Out sound
Improve Spectrum Z80 CPU emulation core: add wait state (needed to emulate microdrive)
Improved Hilow Datadrive emulation:
-Added Raw emulation, like the real device
-Allow ddh variable size (from 3 up to 256 sectors)
-Allow to format only one side on ddh files
-Allow to clear contents when formatting ("c/borrado" or "s/borrado") on ddh files
Improved Debug:
CPU history: allow to change memory pointer to the PC register show in history
Show when CPU is in wait state
Added breakpoint action save-binary
Added Symbol Table loading
Improved Hexadecimal editor:
Now the data is refreshed when the window has the focus too
Now the memory pointer can follow a expression (CPU register for example)
Improved ZX Vision:
More GUI improvements following more guidelines from the (retro)-specification IBM CUA
Menus show previous menus when selecting submenus
When selecting ZX Vision Style, it is applied on moving cursor
Improve cursor movement on menus when pressing PgDn/PgUp
Warn on the resize mark when a window has to be enlarged (because there is text beyond current size)
Allow a window to disable scroll actions
Process switcher is located at bottom-left part of the display by default
Improved ZX Desktop:
Allow to enable/disable upper and lower buttons independently
Allow right click on the device icons located on the lower part of the ZX Desktop
Fixes:
Remove buffer full indicator when pressing shift+e on External Audio Source window
Fixed alt key pressed when changing to another window by using alt-tab on xwindow, cocoa, sdl1 and sdl2 drivers
Fixed TZX autoload as Real Tape on Spectrum +3
Fixed hotswap ZX80 to ZX81, ZX81 to ZX80
Fixed Amstrad CPC Scroll
Fixed memory map and behaviour on Jupiter Ace: now it's perfect and better than any other emulator
Fixed loading .nex snapshots and Layer 2 not being initialized (fixes errors on Head Over Heels for Next, for example)
Fixed loading .nex snapshots and MMU not managed correctly
Fixed Search menu feature
Fixed bug saving .ZSF Z88 snapshot when RAM or Memory Card block is not compressed
Fixed showing footer message F5/Button menu
Fixed bug reopening menu when executing run command on debug cpu and --allow-background-windows setting was disabled
