What's new in version 6.30

  • Fixed a bug that could randomly crash the emulator on very fast hardware (e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo). Quite a few people have reported this as a Vista problem but it's actually hardware specific.

  • Did some compatibility testing on Windows Vista:

    • Spectaculator crashes at startup when hardware DEP is enabled (although it runs fine on XP SP2). The cause is the software licensing system. We're working with the vendor to get this resolved but, in the meantime, the installer will add Spectaculator to the DEP exemption list.

    • Microsoft have removed WinHlp32.exe from the Vista distribution. This prevents the context-senstive help on the dialog boxes from working correctly. See KB917607 for more details.

    • Added Windows Vista application manifests so Spectaculator runs natively, without any File/Registry virtualisation.

    • Fixed initial population of the favourites list.

  • Updated Action Replay (RZX) recording when in tournament mode for this year's Speccy Tour.

  • Various minor bug fixes.
