v1.2.7

• implemented tape image lister in File Manager when you press F3 key on TAP file
• in File Manager, quick search in directory was performed by pressing an initial letter
• access to graphical user interface of Speccy2010 was blocked while DivMMC controlling SD card by SPI commands to prevent conflicts and possible integrity violation of SD card content

Additional content in this release

• nothing changed, please download speccy2010_v1.2.6_sdcard.zip from previous release

v1.2.6

• real Betadisk implementation replaced by simple emulation
  (it free-up lot of resources in FPGA and ARM firmware memory)
• removed unused 3rd channel of sound mixer in FPGA
• DivMMC improved by implementing AllRAM mode compatible with MB-02+ controlled by port #17(23)
• fixed device selector port #E7 of DivMMC
• found probably most important stability issue in FatFs library, where single static buffer was allocated which wasn't thread-safe (changed to dynamic buffer on stack space)
• fixed predefined value of control port in RTC emulation by ub880d

Additional content in this release

• speccy2010_v1.2.6_sdcard.zip - content of SD card aimed to test this release

  • bootable disk mb02/demodisk.mbd with some programs and demos to test MB-02 implementation
  • few snapshots to test

v1.2.5

This is a replacement of last version which has serious stability issues because of insufficient runtime memory for ARM firmware and invalid thermal control bits in FPGA firmware.
Lot of optimizations was happen to keep low memory footprint of ARM firmware.

v1.2.4

• enhanced capabilities when the ESXDOS is loaded into DivMMC: Autoloader of TAP or TRD files directly from File Manager (without accessing NMI menu)
• redefined snapshot loading and saving, now with direct accessing Z80 registers and eye-candy progress-bar
• new feature: load snapshot of given filename [Alt+F6]
• slightly modified keyboard layout (see help file)
• massive refactor of key-modifiers handling (thanks to ub880d)
• help file [F1] is accessible from everywhere
• bold font is back (thanks to Akio)
• improved debugger
  • fixed DivMMC paging calculations
  • added [M] key to change cursor in both Trace/Dump windows
  • hotkeys to reset [Alt+F5] and load SNA [Alt+F6] and trace immediately
• fixed some timing issues (thanks to azesmbog)
• removed video testing pattern to fit the changes into FPGA

Additional content in this release

• speccy2010_v1.2.4_sdcard.zip - content of SD card aimed to test this release
