  • Right-click menu: "Load in 48K mode" for .tap games that need the 48K Spectrum
  • NextBASIC programs saved without extension (e.g. Vice City Blues) start automatically through NextZXOS like .bas files; a file named like the game folder is offered first
  • BASIC programs saved without autostart (e.g. Orb Run) now start instead of only being loaded
  • Right-click menu: "CSpect 3 compatibility" turns on, per game, the fixes of the CSpect Compat plugin for old games that crash in CSpect 3 (e.g. Montana Mike, Deltas Shadow, Elite Next, Spice Invaderz)

CSpect 3 compatibility: the fixes need the CSpect Compat plugin (Compat.dll, plus a fixed esxDOS.dll for Dreamworld Pogie Demo): https://github.com/Saxabar/CSpectCompat/releases - copy it next to CSpect.exe, then turn the fixes on per game from the right-click menu.

Scanlines: CSpect 3 no longer has a TV shader (+tv does nothing); for TV-style scanlines use the CSpect Scanlines plugin: https://github.com/Saxabar/CSpectScanlines/releases - copy Scanlines.dll next to CSpect.exe and keep +tv in the parameters.

  • Windows: CSpectLauncher-1.5.zip - unzip it into a folder and double-click Launcher.bat.
  • Linux and macOS: CSpectLauncher-Linux-macOS-1.5.tar.gz - see linux/README.md for the requirements (on macOS start cspect-launcher.command).
  • Requires the CSpect emulator by Mike Dailly: https://mdf200.itch.io/cspect
