Wow;) To chyba pierwszy emulator Spectrumny, który pozwala na bezpośrednią komunikację przez sieć [TCP/IP] z innnym [nie]realnym Spectrumem:). Nawet z tej okazji warto uzbroić się w nową betę tego udawacza. Real Spectrum pozwala na uzyskanie większości specjalnych efektów w polu border [kto pamięta orginalne zachowanie gumiaczka, ten wie co to ramka;)], dzięki temu R.Spectrum nie powinno mieć większych problemów z demami krztuszącymi się na innych emulatorach.
Jak zwykle w wyapdku tego emulatora mamy do dyspozycji trzy natywne wersje emulatora:
Dla maszynek z procesorem Pentium;
dla komputerów z sercem AMD [k6/k7/Athlon]
i dla pozostałych wyrobów Intela {Celeron, PII, PIII]
... tylko ssać;)
Interface I emulation with 8 microdrives (MDR files). The IF-1 ROM is now included into the standard ROMs package.
Interface I and DISCiPLE network emulation over the Internet (TCP/IP)! You can connect two virtual Spectrums anywhere in the world using the standard DISCiPLE or Interface I networking features (e.g. the channel "n" BASIC commands, but not only)! Requires Windows 3.1 or 95/98 (recommended) and it works on any TCP/IP connection such as Internet or a LAN. Networking options are in the ALT-F8 menu. Please do read the "Networking" chapter very carefully!
Integrated chat system for Internet/LAN (TCP/IP): you can talk with other spec-chums while running your favourite games/demos (CTRL-F8). The messages appear directly on the Spectrum screen thanks to the new multi-row on-screen display (OSD).
File exchange system for Internet/LAN (TCP/IP): you can send and receive any files from within RealSpectrum (SHIFT-F8).
DemoMode screen (F8) with special gfx effects for music playing. Integrated player of .AY files. Still under development.
48K BASIC Tokenizer: also in 48K mode, you type BASIC commands or whole program lines character by character in the Tokenizer editor (ALT-F1) with syntax highlighting, and then it translates everything into the proper sequence of keypresses which are passed to the 48K editor automatically at lightspeed. It's a very nice show, try it! :-)
Keyboard localization: you can set the layout of the keyboard to your national standard (line "Keyboard:" in realspec.ini).
Multi-row OSD (On-Screen Display) which can show both graphic icons and text messages. The maximum number of text lines displayed simultaneosely can be changed in the ALT-F11 menu. The OSD is currently used only by the network subsystem, but will be used for a complete graphic messaging system for the emulation status (disk/tape leds, special events, etc.).
Memory block loading and saving (ALT-F9)
Runtime selection of custom ROMs for the various models (press SPACE in F3 on the selected model).
Many bugfixes (pokes panel, 48K romfile loading, read-only disk files, +D BetaDos, +2A/+3 address decoding, etc).
Warto pamiętać, że już na dniach we Wrocławiu odbędzie się zlot Spectrumowców, powinno więc ukazać się troche nowych produkcji z rodzimego [i nie tylko] podwórka, zainteresowanych uczestnictwem w spotkaniu odsyłam na strone zlotu.
