This new releases has several improvements. Better joystick support Important code reorganisation has been done, so that USB controllers and joysticks are detected in a more predictable way. Different joysticks are now assigned to the ST joysticks in detection order. This means the two joysticks will remain in the same order from one time to the other. Some peripherals will not be incorrectly detected as joysticks anymore, and a basic detection heuristic is used to identify how peripherals reports their events, as this may differ between devices.

The new 2024-02-11 release is available. On the menu: monochrome mode, RAM expansion, and keyboard bug fix. Monochrome mode zeST was having display issues when running in monochrome high resolution mode. There was an unwanted white border on the left side of the screen, some pixels were not displayed properly and the scanlines were larger than the expected 640 pixels of width. This is fixed now. In parallel, I have been conducting experiments on enabling a monochrome mode that would be more compatible than the standard one of some monitors, especially because of the non-standard 71.

The 2024-01-21 release is not a major release, but is the result of quite some under-the-hood rework. The most important highlights are the following: Support for USB joysticks. This part is still very much in a beta state, and still requires quite some debugging effort. It was only tested on a Sony PS4 controller, which allows to emulate both a joystick (using the direction pad) and a mouse (using the touch pad).
