Great release _Tyrell_, sorry for missing it /me kicks himself

No problem :)

I'm looking forward rewritting all or parts of the rendering code because as such, it's still not what I'm expecting. I'll also add the possibility to save a snapshot to vmu memory (compressed, if possible).

I hope you'll be pleased with the DC keyboard support!

_tyrell_

yes its a great addition :)

shouldnt this go to the frontpage as newest emu release? Cant keep chanka there forever :P

Already went to the front page, just before Chankast :)

Also, I still have problems with DMA code. I've sent a mail to Dan Potter (kos) who said me it should be fixed in the latest release (1.3.0).

I'm going to try to recompile the newest libraries, and use them to see if this problem has disappeared.

This bug can (still :( ) be the cause of screen beeing freezed...

ahh this one I have to try, kudos for this port, after all these years the speccy is still sexy! looking forward to tzx support, since I'm having trouble locating some of my old favs in .sna / .tap

underwurdle, knight lore, fairlight 1 & 2, nosferatu, lords of midnight, laser squad, enigma force... those were the days....
