Spectaculator v8.0 is released. Spectaculator is the world's premier Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulator for PCs running Microsoft® Windows® 7, XP & Vista. Spectaculator emulates the 16K/48K/128/+2/+2A/+3 Spectrums, the Russian Pentagon 128 and Scorpion ZS256 clones, and lots of additional hardware.

Spectaculator v8.0 Changelog:
* Minimum requirements are now Windows XP /w SP3 and hardware-accelerated Direct3D 9 graphics. It will no longer install on older versions of Windows.
* Added Dynamite Dan and Dynamite Dan 2 to the Game Pack courtesy of Rod Bowkett.
* Added support for Overlay filters (RGB Triads).
* Added support for Kega Fusion Render plugins. Any RPI scaler that supports 2x scaling can now be used with Spectaculator.
* Added manual controls for the TV simulation (brightness, contrast, colour bleed, sharpness etc.)
* The Escape key can now be configured to exit Spectaculator rather than sending CAPS+SPACE to the virtual Spectrum.
* Fixed various problems with Quick Save/Quick Load:
* The file name format has changed to make it easier to see which snapshots are for which games.
* Choosing a snapshot to load now loads the correct snapshot.
Quick-loaded snapshots now move to the top of the list.

* Added support for modern game controllers such as the Xbox 360 controller.
* Enter key can now be mapped to one of the joystick/game pad buttons.

* Fixed RZX finalisation crashing in some rare situations (thanks Pavel Plíva).
