ZXDS 0.7.0 beta 2 - Sinclair ZX Spectrum Emulator for Nintendo DS

[wraggster]

Patrik Rak has released a new version of his Sinclair ZX Spectrum Emulator for Nintendo DS, heres some info:

There are two versions, ZXDS.nds for Slot-1 (DS slot) based cards, and ZXDS.ds.gba for Slot-2 (GBA slot) based cards. Just choose the one which suits your card best.

The provided executable was already patched with the r4tf.dldi DLDI driver, so it works fine on both my M3 DS Simply and M3 Mini SD Perfect. Of course, it should work fine on any other card which supports DLDI as well. Just give it a try and you will see. If it won't work for you right away, you might need to patch it with a specific DLDI driver for your card with a DLDI patcher, both of which you can find here. It might be wise to patch it in either case, just to make sure you have the most recent version of the DLDI driver for your card. If it still doesn't work, I am really sorry, but there is not much I can do about it. Please do NOT contact me regarding if it works or doesn't work on your card, at least at this point of time.

You should also copy some snapshots or tape files to your card. Either SNA/Z80 snapshots or TAP/TZX/PZX tape files are supported. You can place them anywhere you want, although the /ZXDS directory is looked up first by default. For your convenience, I have included few Spectrum games in SNA or TAP format, so you can at least give it a go.

ZXDS 0.7.0 beta 2 (24.12.2007):
Implemented the normal speed loading.
Quick fix for launchers which don't set the initial display state properly.
Should make the bottom screen properly visible for DS Extreme users.

Why does nobody post in these DS forums? This emulator is excellent, miles better than the Speccy emu on my PSP, definately worth a donation!

I agree, this has easily become one of the slickest, easy to use, multi featured emulators I've ever seen on any system. This guy has put a ton of work into this, I've been watching this since his first test. Amazing is an understatement.

Pretty much agree with these guys- easily the best speccy emulator for the DS.
Hook yourself up with this and hit world of spectrum for some games!

Above that it is probably one of the best speccy emulators I've seen. It's hardware emulation at a technical level is astounding.
