@IgnacioMonge IgnacioMonge released this 06 Oct 10:35

SpecTalkZX 1.4.2 Triton runs straight from the web on the Spectranext cartridge
again. Classic ZX and native Spectrum Next behave as in 1.4.1; only the version
number changes there.

Highlights:

  • Spectranext: choose Load Resource URL and enter
    https://ignaciomonge.github.io/spectalkzx/. SpecTalkZX starts without
    being installed, after a short loading screen that any key skips.
    Configuration and bookmarks stay in the cartridge under /CFG.
  • To install it for use without the web, enter
    https://ignaciomonge.github.io/spectalkzx/install/ instead, then start
    SPCTX.ZX from local storage.
  • Spectranext now needs cartridge firmware 1.0 or later, including for
    installed copies. Firmware 1.0 fixes the HTTPS seek that stopped 1.4.1 with
    DAT NOT FOUND!. Older firmware stops at startup with
    FIRMWARE OUTDATED: SEE README; update the cartridge firmware first.

Downloads:

  • spectalk_divmmc_v1.4.2.zip: Classic ZX runtime; keep TAP, OVL and DAT
    together.
  • spectalk_next_v1.4.2.zip: self-contained native Spectrum Next NEX.
  • Spectranext cartridge: the URLs above. Firmware 1.0 or later is required.

Existing configuration and bookmark files need no migration. To update an
installed Spectranext copy, run the installer again.
