Klive IDE

Fixes

• Report an error when ZXBC utility cannot be found

Known Issues

• Disassembly View does not refresh automatically when the selected ROM or Bank changes.

v0.8.0-alpha.8

Klive Emulator

Known Issues

• ZX Spectrum 128 memory view and disassembly view has some discrepancies

v0.7.0-alpha.7

Klive Emulator

Known Issues

• ZX Spectrum 128 memory view and disassembly view has some discrepancies

Features
