Caprice32 - version 3.50 :)

[sights]

...ok, since many people also post lots of 8-bit news, I think this is a legit post ...after all, we're talking about my FAVORITE cpc emu...
...soooo, after waiting for more than a year, the windows version of Caprice is finally updated, and although I still use the DOS version most of the time, this one is getting equally as good.

...changes include:

-Rewrote all DirectX code to be more robust and error tolerant.
The CPC screen is no longer being painted with hardware stretch blits by default, which should prevent the extreme slow-downs some users experienced.
-Emulation can now be switched between windowed and full-screen mode. Full-Screen mode is user defined in resolution and bit depth.
-Switched to a different timing mechanism which keeps the emulator running closer to the original speed than before.
-Emulator Configuration is once again being stored in a file in the emulator directory and no longer in the Registry.
-New screen rendering methods: scanlines, line doubling (software), and line doubling (hardware).
-Added a modified DSK check at emulator exit so user won't loose their work.
-Support for French and Spanish keyboard layouts.
-Some fixes to the Z80 OUT handler involving the GA colour palette and PPI Port C.
-Added support for CDT tapes: still some work to be done here, as most SpeedLock protected games fail to load! Enjoy in moderation...
