Changes in this release:

Description
The Savestates functionality is a layer for quickly saving and loading snapshots organized by machine models and program names. Internally it uses the main functionality of Fuse to read and write snapshots.
Because the main objective is speed up the operation to read and write snapshots for the use with handhelds the options for savestates has been put directly in the main menu and assigned to new hotkey combos.
For mediums with various parts (disk and tape sides) the emulator tries to determine a name for the saves removing this info, so the savestates for different sides/disks belong to the same program. An example of use is when you load a program and then save an state when you are side2/disk2. Later, in another session, you must directly load this state without load side1/tape1; directly insert the medium for side2/disk2 and load the savestate from menu options or hotkeys combos. If necessary for tapes you can use the tape browser to position in the right phase/position to load.
The slot number for savestates is global. If you load another program without exit the emulator, the slot in use for the savestates of the newly loaded program is the one previously used.
You can choose between SZX and Z80 formats for the savestates, but the Z80 format does not support all combinations for storing information about the media and hardware used, this include same machine models. Some examples of this:
-
Pentagon 256 and 1024 are saved as Pentagon 128, so when you save a savestate with this models the load change to Pentagon 128. If you are using savestates per machine model then the path to access savestates also change.
-
If you are using interface 2 with cartridge this information is lost when saved so the load of savestates will fail.
For a typical media as tapes and disks with no extra hardware attached to emulator you can go ahead with Z80 format, but for best results and combinations of hardware and media it's best to stick with SZX format.
By default the savestates uses different locations for every machine model. This behavior can be changed but that can lead to strange situations. For example with savestates per machine model disabled:
- Load a program in 48k model
- Create a savestate
- Change the model to +2A and load the same program
- Load the savestate and then the model is changed to 48k model.
Savestates location
-
$HOME/.fuse/savestates/<MODEL>/<PROGRAM NAME> -
$HOME/.fuse/savestates/<PROGRAM NAME>if disabled per machine model<MODEL>is the name for machine model as informed by libspectrum.<PROGRAM NAME>is the name of the program with an attempt to remove any info about side/disk/part.- The name for the savestate will be the slot number with the extension for the selected format in lowercase.

Changes for this release:

Adjust screen refresh rate
Set the screen refresh rate depending on selected machine:- 60Hz for Spectrum 48K NTSC and Timex TS2068 models
- 50Hz for all other models
-
Dynamic sound rate
Adjust the rate used in the blip buffer to create sound samples to avoid sound pops.

Changes for this release:
This release is mainly to build for the beta OpenDingux firmware based on Linux 5.10 and a few small bugfixes.
No new features have been added.
Latest beta OpenDingux firmware can be obtained here. See also
Other changes
-
Change from Power button to Select button to close menu.
In beta firmware Power button is sending various push events. The effect is that when menu is opened with Power button then it closes inmediately. In file dialogs Select is used to change from file filter so it will not close menu. -
In the Joysticks options, the extension of the mapping files is not displayed to save space.
-
Screenshot fixes. In version v0.0.3 status line info was changed to use a transparent overlay. With this change the ZX Spectrum screen under the overlay is marked as dirty and set to 0xff. If a border is used to scale the screen and a screenshot is taken, the overlay block appear as white block in the screenshot. Now the block of overlay screen is saved before mark it as dirty and is restored previous to screenshot saving.
See Changelog for more details.

- 'Show status bar with border' (default enabled)
- 'GCW0 keyboard: Map LStick to DPad' (default enabled)
Details
Sound frequency option is now visible in Options/Sound menu.
Border option is for scale the main screen reducing the border size.
- The scaling is done by hardware (IPU scaling).
- Full, Large, Medium, Small and None options available.
- Scaling do not work for RetroFW 1.
- For RG350M (640x480) and RG280M (480x320) the corresponding panel must be selected to make all border options scaling properly with 1x filters.
- For RG280M (480x320) integer scaling is automatically deactivated with 1x filters.
- Hotkey combo L1+R1+A assigned to switch between Full and None border.
- Added an option to enable/disable status bar with other border than Full.
Added a new option to make possible left stick use as directional pad when mapping is active for GCW0 keyboard. Until now left stick can only be used with GCW0 keyboard 1.
Increased buffer sound frames with triple buffer or border scaling.
For Timex models the 2x filters has been removed becouse never will work.
Some minor changes to fix virtual keyboard display with some filters and Spectrum models.
