Thanks Asnivor! Yes, Hard Drivin' (1989)(Domark).dsk works now with the latest build! Fixed! I have another question, what are ipf files worth compared to dsk? (I downloaded a "Sinclair - ZX Spectrum +3" pack that only contains this file format. I have the equivalent in dsk format, so it's more a matter of curiosity :D).

Could someone test on their side? With Savage.tzx MD5: 3D9670676C20898AC63466CCE422B842 (the version you can find on World of Spectrum) I only get 2 fps, while with the other versions, the game goes at normal speed. Is it just a problem on my side or an emulation problem?

Can you try this with the latest dev? I committed a change yesterday that should fix this problem (I think - let me know if it doesnt).
I already use the latest dev build Edit: Ah, sorry, I didn't see you tested and detected why in the meantime.

Thanks for your answers! Another question, Is the Gun Stick supported or be planned to? I will list below the +3 disk games that I would have tested (finished) during the next days.

The latest dev build now has a basic NEC UPD765A floppy disk controller implementation for the +3 machine, along with support for Spectrum *.dsk files (both CPCDSK and EXTENDEDCPCDISK formats).
Nice work! :) I'll try some games tonight and the next few days (if it helps, I can post videos below).

Lastly, there is currently no floppy drive timing emulation in place. When the controller requests a disk operation this happens immediately and results are returned when the CPU decides to query the FDC for them. Hopefully I can get better timings implemented eventually, but it's certainly not a trivial task.
Maybe Alyosha could help you with that? I don't know how close it is, but it seems to me that he has recently reworked the CD loading emulation on the PC Engine core.

Thanks a lot for your answers, and good luck with the floppy controller and disk emulation :) (Oh and in the meantime I found another version of Golden Axe that worked very well, I tested 3-4 versions and finally found one that worked correctly, unless I'm mistaken, a TOSEC version. I'll put the MD5 here if I remenber) I'm looking forward to seeing the disk support now, to see the difference :D Good luck and thank you again for your answers and details!

Altered Beast (Altered Beast (Europe).tzx MD5: F0AEA482013194F4EC6D3F6CE24A2AA8) Stage 1, no problem. Stage 2, the character jumps and moves on by himself. No key is pressed. Link to video

Bizhawk only officially supports Windows. If you'd like to use it on a Mac, your best bet would be to either use bootcamp or some form of VM to run it in a Windows environment.
A Mac/Linux port exist, but it support only very few features/cores.

If it can help I found this: On http://gb64.com go to advanced search, then you have under "PAL/NTSC" PAL, NTSC+PAL and NTSC.

Excellent news, and I have no doubt once again of your future success with this core! However, what do you plan to bring more than mGBA for example?

I have a problem with Ane-San (MD5: 44A98A0EC2DC05695D0B2F30F2B47F40) on PC Engine, the movie file synchronizes perfectly during a simple rereading without video dumping, but desynchronizes during the video dump. (I tried with Lagarith Lossless, Microsoft Video 1, x264vfw, AVI Uncompressed, AVI Lossless and Matroska Lossless) A version of the movie file is available here I use this version of BizHawk.

Is it possible to implement a function for the screen orientation? It would be very useful for games that change the screen orientation during the game, like Makaimura on WonderSwan.

It seems that there are also other formats like D81, G41, P00 and LNX that C64Hawk does not support. Nib (and joystick) support in Apple II core will be great too.

I was wondering: on average, how much faster is loading an .dsk compared to an .tzx or .tap? I'm launching the 128k version of Golden Axe and I'm already at ~20-30 minutes loading (and it doesn't seem to finish loading :D), so I was wondering? Maybe it's just a bad version. (Golden Axe (1988)(Virgin Games)(128k).tzx MD5: 4AE04FA092ABD96E13FC86AABA4B6B4D) (EDIT: The only version that works for me is the TAP frome World of Spectrum) Oh, and will a list be added to GameDB? I also saw that this core takes between 20 and 30% of the processor, is that normal? This is not the case with any other core it seems to me.

I hadn't paid attention, but the "summary" when rereading a movie file is wrong. It counts on 60fps, whereas it is 50, and therefore the length of the movie is wrong too. But the video dump is in 50. I use this version.

Some games are pretty impressive for the ZX Spectrum, with a lot of colors or big sprites. Link to video Link to video Link to video

I like the ship animation :) It's very similar to Gradius on certain levels (and the option selection too) :)

Thanks Patashu! From your list, I've finished Gradius/Nemesis, R-Type and Chase H.Q. with ZXhawk, for now :) This link can be interesting too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:ZX_Spectrum-only_games
