-In november 2019, I made some adaptation of "Flying Shark" game for ZX-Poly 256x192 (mode 7).

 # Support of Spec256 emulation
-Since 2.0.1 version, some restricted [Spec256 platform](http://www.emulatronia.com/emusdaqui/spec256/index-eng.htm) emulation added. Because there is real difference in work of ZX-Poly emulator (which based on parallel CPUs) and [Spec256](http://www.emulatronia.com/emusdaqui/spec256/index-eng.htm) (which based on CPU with 64bit virtual registers), not all games work well, but many of them can be started and playable.

 ![ScoobyDoo for Spec256](docs/screenshots/Spec256emulationScoobyDoo.png)
 
 Known issues with emulation of listed games:
- - __Knight lore__ wrongly colored picture
- - __Bubbler__ losing colorization for some game elements
 
-In ZX-Poly emulator working in Spec256 mode, some CPU registers are syncronized every iteration (by default PC, SP and bits of F excluding C bit), but it works not for all games. In games which need another register set, there can be provided special `zxpAlignRegs` parameter in CFG file situated in snapshot archive. For instance `zxpAlignRegs=XxYyPSsHLb` means syncronization of IX,IY,PC,SP,H,L and B' registers.

 # F.A.Q.
 ## Is there a hardware implementation?
