More Demos Working!

I don’t always post about new releases of zeST. There have been three of them since the beginning of the year, mostly for under the hood fixes that are not directly visible to the user.

This time, it’s different: I fixed a misbehaviour in the WD1772 floppy disk controller, improving the compatibility with some demos that were not loading before. Now we finally can run the mythical Dark Side of the Spoon demo, one of my favourites, and so far I haven’t discovered any problems with it. So I did a quick video as proof:

Among other demos I noticed Ooh Crikey Wot A Scorcher is also working, even though it has a sound problem in some screens — I need to fix that. There are probably more of them!

Some demos still won’t load. If you identify one of them, don’t hesitate to mention it in the corresponding issue on GitHub if it is not yet listed.
