Rookery 5 Starwake Trail 1 ZX Spectrum Next 1 Two of my ZX Spectrum Next projects now have a home on the site: Starwake Trail, a rolling-ball game, and Bad Apple Demo, a conversion of the original Bad Apple demo for the Next. Starwake Trail is on itch.io, and the Bad Apple download is here on the site.
Octarine Studio Octarine Studio 0.7.0.0 is available to download, the first release built on Qt 6 and the first with installers for macOS, Windows and Linux.
Bizmuth Bizmuth 1.0.0-rc3 is available to download. Seven new ADP commands let a tool drive the emulator: reset it, run a bounded number of frames, read physical RAM, swap SD cards and capture audio. The Copper and the AY mixer behave more like the hardware.
Bizmuth Bizmuth now runs in your browser. Try it online: press a machine’s button and it boots.
FantASM FantASM 2.2.0 is available to download. The linker grows up: fantasm link places sections by a link map, writes fxi version 3, and carries !test blocks from objects into a JSON file another host can run. A program embedding the crate can now assemble, link and write every output in memory, with no scratch files.
Bizmuth Bizmuth 1.0.0-rc1 is available to download — the first release candidate for 1.0.0. The headline is speed: emulation is faster, and the emulator spends much less CPU time doing it.
Rookery Rookery 1.1.1 is available to download.
FantASM FantASM 2.1.0 is available to download. !virtual places code at an address it does not yet occupy, ALIGN pads to a boundary, and an expression takes every comparison !assert already spelt. Underneath, the whole diagnostic register — messages, hints, the -v/-vv log — is reworded to one house style.
0x1DE 0x1DE 0.5.0 is available — the VS Code and VSCodium extension for the Spectrum-family languages. Highlighting is now generated from a language surface: one file per language enumerating its words, literals, comments and blocks, so a word added in one place reaches every editor at once.
FantASM FantASM 2.0.0 is available to download. The editor now answers with what the build answers. Libraries get a real interface, tests get spans and checksums, and 59 new diagnostic codes say what is wrong rather than sharing one number between five faults.
