From homebrew developer Patrik Rak comes another release of ZXDS, a Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulator for the Nintendo DS handheld console. It’s been a while since we posted anything about this particular emulator, and it seems like the dev has added quite a lot of stuff since 0.8.1 beta 1:

ZXDS 0.9.0 beta 1

• Support for download of files from HTTP and FTP servers over WiFi.
• Virtual directory system for creating arbitrary listings of both local and remote files.
• Config for World of Spectrum, RZX Archive and Demotopia data feeds included.
• See online.txt for how to create the listings and setup your own servers.
• The data_path, saves_path and screens_path are now configurable.
• Help now finally uses the variable width font as I always intended.
• Stick to the Zilog behavior regarding SCF/CCF undocumented flags.
• Built with the latest devkitPro release, should solve most libfat/DLDI issues.

ZXDS 0.8.1 beta 2

• Tweaked RZX code to work with more nonconformant but commonly available recordings.
• Worked around sound clamping while keeping the sound loud by throwing dummy sample into the mix.
• I knew there must have been a reason why I didn’t use sound bias 0 alone long time ago.
