I was lucky enough to get the Olimex ESP32-SBC-FabGL board from Santa, and found flashing the board really easy. I'm looking forward to the full documentation appearing soon.

I think there is a joystick add on in the works?

New features:

- Improved SD file system support:

• Folder support with top status bar showing current folder.
• Autoindexing of folders with process info through progress bars. No need of manual regeneration of folder indexes from now on.
• 48 character long file names (plus 4 for extension).
• Bigger snapshot and tape file open dialog.
• Special ascii characters support: á,à,ä,â,é,è,ë,ê,í,ì,ï,î,ó,ò,ö,ô,ú,ù,ü,û,Ñ,ñ,Ç,ç,¿,¡,º and ª.
• Positioning at item on file list starting with A-Z or a-z pressing corresponding letter on PS/2 or ZX Keyboard (SS + letter).
• Case insensitive search option: press F3 on PS/2 keyboard or F, B on ZX Keyboard and input search text to realtime filter item list.
• Status bar with total number of items and current item focused on folder.
• Name autoscroll (keeping focus for more than two seconds) for items with name longer than dialog width.

- New joystick system through ESPjoy DB9 to PS/2 converter (or DIY converter using ESPectrum joystick special scancodes):

• Support of two up to 8 buttons joysticks.
• Easy customization dialog: you can assign Spectrum keys, PS/2 special keys, Kempston actions or Fuller actions to any joystick input.
• Important: To be able to use new joystick system with ESPjoy, you have to use new firmware at: https://github.com/dacarsoft/DB9_2_Keyb ... _ESPectrum

- Support of flashing new firmware through SD card: just put firmware file on SD root dir and select update option.

- New interface elements (progress bars and confirmation dialogs).

- Overwrite confirmation dialog added to snapshot save and SAVE command.

- New screen centering system for CRT 15Khz 50hz modes: use CRTL F5-F8 or CS+SS Z,X,C,V in ZX Keyboard.

- New hardware information dialog (CTRL-F1 or CS+SS+I on ZX kbd).

Changes:

- Z80 Core: Add accurate emulation of WZ according to the latest discoveries as described in viewtopic.php?t=10555 Thanks to @redcode !

- Optimized video (almost 10% average faster than previous release) and port management routines.

- PS/2 joystick emulation improved: added Sinclair and Fuller type joystick emulation.

- Improved OSD: quicker response and more precise calcs.

- 16:9 70hz (360x200) modeline adjusted to better comply with IBM 720x400 standard.

Bugfixes:

- Solved rare sound mute bug after snapshot load.
