#CSpect V2.12.3

This is a minor update to fix Lowres and ULA scrolling. ULA X scrolling now uses the 2 new NextRegs - $26+$27.
It also fixes an annoying startup issue where if you didn't start in the EXE path, it just wouldn't start properly. This was due to the new plugin system, but should now be fixed. (fingers crossed). I've also added the missing LDWS instruction to SNASM


SNasm 2.0.20

• Added “LDWS” instruction

#CSpect V2.12.3 changes

• Lowres scrolling fixed.
• Added ULA Scrolling registers $26 and $27.
• Fixed HL being set to $10000 after reading a file at the end of memory...
• Fixed a command line startup issue when not started in the EXE path

#CSpect V2.12.2

This update is a little different, as it add's the ability for users to write their own "plugins". These plugins can take over memory read/write actions, port in/out's and Next Register access - or all of the above!
They can also query the Next's memory, ports, Next registers and Z80 registers, making it pretty useful for folk to add new toys, or add things like logging or profiling etc.

#CSpect V2.12.2 changes

• Changed 320x256 mode to use Y/X orientation (0,0)=$0000, (1,0)=$0100, (2,0)=$0200. (0,1)=$0001,(0,2)=$0002 etc...
• Plugin system can now get/set Z80 registers
• A better reset on load of an SNA/Nex file. Should be a complete system reset now...
• 320x256 Layer 2 screen mode added
• NextReg $70 added ($10=320x256 mode)
• NextReg $71 added. MSB of Layer 2 XScroll added
• Added Port 0x123B extended memory mapping mode added - using bit 4 to select (untested)
• A new plugin system added, so that folk can add their own toys or support custom hardware. See CSpectReadme.txt

#CSpect V2.11.9

EDIT: Updated to V2.11.10 - Couple of new command line options for the next dev team

This update is really just to release fixes the Next team have had for a while. With all the changes to NextOS, and the hardware changes, I figured I should release this even though 60Hz mode isn't working right. So most things should work fine, but 60hz mode certainly has issues....

SNasm V2.0.19 changes

• You can now reference a local label. i.e. LD HL,LABEL@LOCAL

#CSpect V2.11.10 changes

• added -major and -minor to let you set the CORE version number
• added -emu to force the setting of the emulation bit in nextreg 0
• added debugger command "nextreg ," so you can set a next register from the debugger

#CSpect V2.11.9 changes

• Updated audio to be 16bit so DAC isn't squished to oblivion. (should just sound better in general)

#CSpect V2.11.8 changes

• Fixed "all RAM mode". 2 configurations weren't working right.
• Core version number updated to 3.0
• -60 now does proper 60hz, including reduced lines and proper 60hz audio *not working fully yet*
• -com2=??? added. You can now have a second UART that can be used to send to a real Pi
• port 0x153b (bit 6) added to switch UARTs from Wifi to Pi
• Reg $7f now defaults to $FF on power up
• When no UART2, now returns $FF
• .ROM files (for OS loading) now come from the same path as the IMG file, rather than program folder
• Mono "textmode" added
• CP/M mode now works
• Proper 60Hz Layer2 and Sprites now working
• Coms with the Pi (and it not being there), no longer crashes CSpect.
• null comport now returns 0, as per hardware.
• Tilemap clip window right edge fix - I think.
• 1 Bit Tilemaps should now work when tiles are pre-defined in bank 10/11
