A new version of the Glukalka emulator is available for download.
Glukalka is the only open-source ZX-Spectrum emulator for PC Linux/Windows, Mac, and Android, whose ports are not products of third-party developers with varying functionality and poor synchronization with the main project. Emulated models: ZX-Spectrum 48, 128, Pentagon + Beta Disk Interface, ZS-Scorpion.
The new version of the emulator features a mobile app. It was developed for phones, but the emulator works satisfactorily on 7" tablets. The virtual joystick and virtual keyboard were designed for comfortable gameplay and support for various mobile screen sizes.
Support for sectors other than 256 bytes and FDI format has been added, along with some fixes in emulation, allowing the operation of iS-DOS and CP/M operating systems. There is now a possibility to generate NMI ('Magic Button', 'Shadow Service Monitor'). The ability to dump the sound coprocessor's audio into a file for further editing or listening has been introduced. More settings and functions have been added, and disk writing speed has increased. The emulator has become independent of any files; all necessary resources are now carried within the executable file.
The emulator is over 22 years old, evolving intermittently and not very actively. However, it has demand and its own niche.
