#2243 — Beta testing Fuse 1.1.0 beta 2

I hope Fred won't mind me reposting this here:

Hello everyone,
We are still preparing Fuse for a new release soon and would appreciate 
help in testing that all the new features and all the old features are 
working properly.

The key new features are:
* Spectranet emulation
* SpecDrum emulation
* Disciple emulation
* Movie recording to FMF files
* SpeccyBoot emulation
* GTK+ 3 Support
* Many Win32 enhancements
* POK file support
* PZX file read support
* Plus lots of bug fixes

The fixes since the last release are:

Fuse:
* Split SNET block into SNET, SNEF and SNER so that flash could
   theoretically be saved separately - Spectranet SZX files from the
   previous beta are now invalid
* Correct video timing for +2A/+3 etc machines
* Implement Spectranet's "suppress NMI" flipflop
* Fix inverted DISCiPLE printer busy logic
* Empty sound buffer when emulation is paused using a shortcut key on
   Win32 UI (thanks, Lee Tonks)
* Add DISCiPLE ROM with EPSON printer support
* Correct restore of pentagon 1024 memory ports from snapshots
* Spectranet emulation bugfixes
* Make sure that SE RAM variables are initialised before they are
   referenced
* Add separate switch to enable ZX Printer emulation
* Fix SE writing dock and exrom pages to snapshots
* Update SE ROMs to v4.04
* Reset machine when significant interfaces are connected/disconnected
* Fix in-memory disk image becoming corrupted after saving the disk file
* Update to v1.38 of the +3e ROMs (thanks, Guesser)
* Fix loading of EDSK files with redundant sector images
* Many manual updates
* Add support for storing ZX Printer state in SZX files
* Allow up to 15 joystick buttons to be defined to accommodate e.g.
   XBox 360 ABXY button use
* Support setting late timings from SZX snapshots
* Support the binutils gold linker.
* Minor bugfixes

fuse-utils:
audio2tape:
* Print flag byte (thanks, Ivan Shmakov).
* Include read and computed checksum (thanks, Ivan Shmakov).
* Fix incomplete byte warning (thanks, Ivan Shmakov).

fmfconv:
* Force mpeg4 video encoder for youtube profile and don't force AAC
   audio encoder for ipod profile.
* Fix a crash when converting PCM stereo samples to mono.
* Fix the build on Debian stable and fix a crash when encoding H.264
* Fix a crash when input file does not exist
* Support ffmpeg 1.0.1 API
* Improve addition of annotation field to au format files

If you'd like to help you can find the second beta binaries for various 
systems at:

Debian (and hopefully Ubuntu):
http://people.igalia.com/berto/files/debian/fuse-beta/

There's packages for Debian 6 ("squeeze") and 7 ("wheezy"). Wheezy
packages use GTK+ 3, Squeeze uses GTK+ 2.

You need to install libspectrum8, fuse-emulator-common and either
fuse-emulator-gtk or fuse-emulator-sdl.

Windows:

Mac OS X:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fuse-for-macosx/files/fuse-for-macosx/Beta-1.1.0/Fuse-r742.zip/download

Mac specific changes are:
* Support OS X 10.7
* Movie recording file selection should be for writing rather than
   reading (thanks, deKay)
* Fix fullscreen modes (thanks, Adam Meath)
* Don't poll for joystick axes that do not exist to avoid going into a
   loop when exiting the pref pane with non-existent joystick axes
   selected
* Add documentation of External sound interfaces, add more hyperlinks
   (thanks, Paul van der Laan).

I didn't even realise 1.0 had been released.  I wish these things
would be announced properly (didn't even see it on the Fuse dev list,
admittedly I don't pay too much attention to it, but the last I saw
was that 1.0 had been pushed back a bit, and then some discussion
about 1.1 in the last few days)

I think 1.0.0.1a is the most recent stable release. 1.0 was released at 
the end of 2010.

Ah, maybe I'm getting confused and it was 1.1 which was due for
release this year.  That would explain why I didn't see any
announcement!

1.1 was due for release last year. I spent a lot of time getting a 
stable version of SE Basic IV together to ship with it in December. And 
then ... well there were a lot of things that needed fixing. Thus far 
I'm finding the current beta is actually more stable than the previous 
official release on OS X. The debugger doesn't screw up the keyboard 
emulation any more and the +2B emulation is more accurate (which is 
important as I'm writing some +2B only software).

I haven't had a chance to put it through its paces yet, but the GTK3
version certainly seems to build and run without issues under Arch
Linux.

By the way, if anyone's interested (I doubt it) I have PKGBUILDs for
"fuse-emulator-svn" and "libspectrum-svn", based on revision 4839, i.e.
this beta. It hardly seems worth uploading them to the AUR, given how
little interest the stable version generates there. (And the fact that
I'd have to re-register because it seems to have forgotten my password.
Tch, eh?)

so we are adding hardware to the basic zx spectrums?
fdd3000 PDS and micro command all have their own z80 processors - just
think what more than one processor might do if it could benefit from
the ula+ or spcra features - either to ½ the video ram or help with
interlaced each processor displaying one image after the other
flipflopstyle
when you get to three then  each one only needs byteperpixel and you
have 24bit tru colour

does genie softcrack 9 work for multiface?
is there a multiface style nmi rom that offers networking/serial/
parallel/midi/spectranet load save print compress disasemble monitor
options?
