CSpect V2.12.36

  • sprites: the collision bit is not implemented (intentionally for emulator performance reasons)
  • modifications to NextRegs done in copper propagate to rendering usually only once per scanline, usually retroactively for full scanline when triggered in h-blank area (palette changes, X/Y offsets, etc) (mostly intentionally for emulator performance reasons)
  • modifications to NextRegs done by CPU propagate to rendering usually only once per scanline, usually on following scanline (mostly intentionally for emulator performance reasons)
  • missing Nextreg $64 "video line offset" (core 3.1.5)
  • some NextRegs read as zero until they are written into first (quick-boot mode with SNA file without full NextZXOS image) (for example regs $03, $12, $13, $14, $42, $4A, $4B, $4C)
  • default value: $6E and $6F are supposed to be fixed since V2.12.30, but the SNA test still reads zeroes
  • NextRegs $09, $34, $41, $8E read incorrectly (reads after certain writes produce wrong value)
  • NextReg $02 does not implement soft-reset (and probably also no hard-reset)
  • DMA: Zilog mode is not implemented (port 0x0B)
  • DMA: reading registers seems to work only once, right after "read mask" setup
  • Layer2 port $123B - the new feature "bank offset" when writing with bit4=1 is not working correctly
  • layers clipping - it is sometimes +-2px off showing/hiding one extra pixel (new variants of which works and work not since V2.12.36, some got corrected, some got worse)
  • blending modes: there's sometimes wrong half-pixel at end of paper area
  • blending modes: the core 3.1.5 now blends Layer2+ULA in different way (details), CSpect renders it in the core2.0 - 3.0 way
  • sprites: mostly work except the "big sprites" having wrong compound transformations
  • sprites rendering is not one-scanline-buffer delayed and all changes in sprites affect current scanline
  • border color and Enhanced ULA on/off states sometimes produce incorrect color of border and paper
  • when running without the full NextZXOS card image, the esxdos services are provided by the emulator itself, the implementation is very limited and crude (most of the returned values are incorrect/etc, but loading files works)

not verified in V2.12.36 (but known bugs of older versions, may be still present):

  • blending modes: the new core3.1.3 blending (with extra Tiles|ULA front-slice) is not supported
  • sprites rendering is unlimited (real HW drops further sprites after exhausting allocated pixel throughput for current line) (reported by David B.)
  • direct loading of NEX file doesn't init the machine in the same way as NEXLOAD from NextZXOS (memory stays filled with FF, etc)
  • direct loading of NEX files does not support all combinations of loading-screen type and palette on/off (but V2.12.9 does load more files than V2.12.5) (but the unofficial V1.3 NEX file is partially supported)
  • sprites: the default clipping is wrong (set clip window explicitly any way) - this one was maybe silently fixed without changelog note, but I'm not sure (not interesting enough to run precise test)

Platform Specific

  • Mac: Mouse does not work / behaves erratically
  • Mac: after launch keyboard being irresponsive - try "alt+tab" to other app and back
