  1. Hey Jon,
  2.  
  3. All these years later, Spectaculator is still the greatest ZX emulator on Windows.
  4.  
  5. I would love to talk to you about a couple of issues:
  6.  
  7. 1. the AVI (video) recording feature, which in my experience
  8. (i) generates a useless video that plays back with sound but no picture (may depend on codecs etc. but it needs investigating: for example the mainstream multi-platform VLC cannot play these videos);
  9. (ii) is timed by emulator time and not real time (so I can't boost to 1000% and then turn an RZX game solution into a video, because it will produce a 1000% video -- this should be an option at least).
  10.  
  11. 2. the bug where the screen stops updating after a tape load (in certain finicky circumstances): I've mentioned this before and it catches me regularly, but I've never been able to create a reproducible case. I would really love it fixed, but I understand it's only hearsay until I can regularly repro. -- It definitely happens (I've got an old Art Studio 128 snapshot that kicks it off sometimes) but I think we might need some debug assertions in there to actually catch it.
  12.  
  13. Well, at least tell me if you are listening.
  14.  
  15. Best wishes,
  16. a hi-quality Spectaculator fan,
  17.
