[ZX] Spectaculator 8.0

Dynamite Dan (Activision Publishing, Inc., 1989)

What's new in version 8.0

• Minimum requirements are now Windows XP /w SP3 and hardware-accelerated Direct3D 9 graphics. It will no longer install on older versions of Windows.
• Added Dynamite Dan and Dynamite Dan 2 to the Game Pack courtesy of Rod Bowkett.
• Added support for Overlay filters (RGB Triads).
• Added support for Kega Fusion Render plugins. Any RPI scaler that supports 2x scaling can now be used with Spectaculator.
• Added manual controls for the TV simulation (brightness, contrast, colour bleed, sharpness etc.)
• The Escape key can now be configured to exit Spectaculator rather than sending CAPS+SPACE to the virtual Spectrum.
• Fixed various problems with Quick Save/Quick Load:
• The file name format has changed to make it easier to see which snapshots are for which games.
• Choosing a snapshot to load now loads the correct snapshot.
• Quick-loaded snapshots now move to the top of the list.
• Deleted snapshots are automatically removed from the list.
• F2 now loads the last quick-saved snapshot. Ctrl+F2 now shows the list of quick-saved snapshots.
• Added support for modern game controllers such as the Xbox 360 controller.
• Enter key can now be mapped to one of the joystick/game pad buttons.
• Fixed AY noise generation (although you probably won't be able to tell any difference). With thanks to Patrik Rak.
• Fixed crash when clicking to the right of Custom ROMs on the Advanced tab.
• Fixed RZX finalisation crashing in some rare situations (thanks Pavel Plíva).
• Fixed errors when writing to TRD/SCL disk images under certain situations (thanks Shadow Maker)
• Fixed recording of SpecDrum output to AVI and audio files.
• Fixed recording of Covox output to AVI and audio files.
• Added progress indicator for RZX playback.
• Added option to pause Spectaculator when the main window is minimised. This is off by default.
• All binaries and the installer are now digitally signed.
• Fixed selection of COM ports used by the ZX Interface 1 serial port emulation.
• Various changes to resolve minor issues with Windows 8.
