A jednak oficjalna Altirra 1.8

Breaker rozwiązał problem oficjalnej Alttiry Phaerona - jednak to jaknajsambardziej oficjalnie opublikowany plik.

Tak naprawdę Phaeron nie opublikował nowej wersji swojego emulatora ATARI XE/XL, nigdzie nie ma jego wzmianki na ten temat:) Zrobił to za niego jeden ze śledzących wątek (breaker) - tak, czy siak możemy pobrać nową Altirre, jednak w ostatecznym rachunku może się jeszcze okazać, iż pojawi się kolejne 1.8:)

Ze względu na problemy pomiędzy emulację rozszerzenia VXBE (grafika) i ABXE (karta dźwiękowa), nowa Altirra nie posiada tego dodatku, którym Phaeron zajął się parę bet wcześniej.
