Support for 128K,256K and 512K ProfROM. new switch in cfg: PROF512=1|2 choose which 256K bank to use if 512K ProfROM is used Note that emulator will autodetect which rom is in scorpion.rom file - as a result you can easily use any ROM you want - non-ProfROM,ProfROM of any size&version.
  • New : Debugger. Z80,Disasm,Assembler,Stack,Memory Dump, Memory map,Ports Activate by pressing Delete key. Read more about it in *Usage* section
  • New : Rewrote kempston mouse emulation again ;) updated switches in cfg: M_SENSITX=n n=0..7 M_SENSITY=n n=0..7 n means mouse sensitivity. 7 is max sensitivity
  • Emulation of 512K or 1024K memory expansion for Scorpion new switch in cfg: SCORPMEM=256|512|1024
  • Emulation of 16K RAMDISK for Pentagon. RAMDISK is controlled by D6 #EFF7 Thnx to Eugene Palenock for info
  • New : Ability to turn off multitasking then running under Windows. This gives more speed and removes sound glitches if you have slow machine. new switch in cfg: KILLWIN=YES|NO
  • New : HDD emulation using image file. Very buggy at the moment, but dont worry, this should be fixed in following version. new switches in cfg: HDDFILE="dump.hdd" - name of HDD image file REALHDD=YES|NO - choose yes if you want to use image file following switches are needed only if using HDD image: HDDCYLS=n HDDHEADS=n HDDSECS=n
  • New : Saving GIGASCREEN screenshots to GSC format
  • New : New 320x200 video mode (VMODE=253 in cfg). It's faster than any other 320x200 mode + has proportions like 320x240 mode but may be not compatible with all videocards. Best choice if you have slow CPU or outdated videocard.
