ZX Emulator v0.31b

Here you go, the subject, so to speak. :)
I'm waiting for bug reports, suggestions, ideas.
Main changes:
bug fixes, frame rate 48-60Hz,
new sound output, map parameters are taken from a variable,
a couple of errors in the Z80 file loader have been fixed,
glitches with ProTracker, Sentinel have been fixed.

PS: Use with caution - beta.
Save your images, or make them Read Only.

PPS: Under Windows, run via PIF, otherwise the machine will hang.
Under OS/2 I don’t know - I haven’t studied.

Sincerely

First impressions are good (if not excellent - I'm afraid to jinx it). How many times have I cried here that the screen is “floating”. And then I launched it and was very happy.
Great work!

I want to believe... Vladimir.

Can’t we do without this?

VY> And what about the axis there is no full DOS emulation mode?
Dedicated DOS? This is via anus and only on Merlin+FAT. Doesn’t work.

Straighten your arms. Everything works fine for me.
Read the docks, configs... A very useful activity.

I wish you happiness and... good luck to you.

The most important BUG: when exiting the emulator it says “Error when allocating memory!
I can’t run dn.prg! I can’t find Command.com!” and it freezes!
( I use DosNavigator )

VY> Main changes:
VY> work on bugs, frame rate 48-60Hz,

I had a frame failure (the path of the reverse beam is visible), I tried
changing the “frame rate” parameter - there is no difference, only the distance
between the reverse path of the beam changes!( Previously in v0.30 this was not the case
(it was Video_rate=49Hz))
But, when you start any program, the screen becomes normal, and when you reset
(128.48) it breaks again!

VY> new sound output, the card parameters are taken from the variable,

This is of course good! I didn’t notice any differences in sound output. It was good, so it remains.

This is not a BUG, but an annoying incompatibility...

I had a similar situation (only under Norton5.0RUS). Conclusion: you need to exit
commander and run the emulsion in "bare" DOS.

DS>> Can’t we do without this?

VY> Yesterday a fresh thought came, let’s do it without it.

it means I launched version 0.2 (or 2.0) and there is no sound in it
:( I have na ess1868, okay I think, I launched the Shalaev emul
, accordingly there is sound, so there was a disk with demos filed there
(to Shalaev's emulator) I mean I connected the drive to your emulator and
.. the sound appeared. What's the joke? Why does the sound appear after the Shalaev's emulator? And in one part of the binary love, where
the attribute scrolled with the light falling on it - it slowed down... why? this?

I do too, but I’ve adapted to launch it from under Volkov. It turns out fine.

With respect Shor Kan.
In this world only two things are infinite: the Universe and human stupidity.

Used it - everything seems to be ob, except for Russification:((
Dos 6.22 / qemm 8.01 / rk.com / DN - Russification disappears, and loading RK again nothing gives
WIN NT 4.0 / DOS / DN - Russification disappears only in this task
WIN NT 4.0 (CMD.EXE) - --------------------"---------------------

PS. I hope the future debugger will be able to debug programs in video memory.

Strangely enough, after some actions, I was able to exit DN normally!
