ZX-Spectrum emulator Glukalka2

A new reincarnation of the ZX-Spectrum Glukalka emulator is available for download.
The graphical part of the emulator was rewritten using the Qt library (the recommended minimum version of Qt is 4.6; on older versions of Qt, some emulator functions will be disabled, or the emulator will not build). The use of Qt has made the emulator more portable: now it works not only on UNIX/X11, but also on MS Windows, Mac OS X, and, theoretically, on all platforms where it is possible to use the Qt library. The emulator has been tested on PC/Linux, PC/Windows, Mac Intel, Solaris/Sparс platforms (screenshots).
The list of other changes is as follows:

  • The emulator is localized, the distribution contains Russian localization.
  • The emulator window is now free scalable for any size. It is possible to use OpenGL so that this operation does not load the CPU.
  • When you open an image file, it now runs automatically. You no longer need to remember the DOS and SOS commands.
  • The "traps" algorithm in magnetic tape emulation has been improved, and the "fast loading" algorithm for magnetic tape has been improved. More .TAP and .TZX files are now uploaded.
  • Improved support for the .SCL disk image format: when opening such a file, it is automatically converted to .TRD format; if there is no β€œboot” file in the image, it is automatically appended.
  • Fixed Z80 emulation bugs.
  • Booting from tape images and disk controller emulation now works correctly on BIGENDIAN architectures.
  • Added support for analog joysticks and gamepads.
  • Added the ability to save emulator settings by pressing a button from the settings window.

    Emulator download options: Unix/Linux(source code), Mac OS X (dmg image), PC/Windows (zip archive).
