Kolejne poprawki Phaerona w najbardziej dynamicznie rozwijającym się emulatorze ATARI XE/XL - Altirrze. Nowe narzędzia do podglądu kanałów Pokey'a (układu dźwiękowego) i całkiem fajna możliwość dodawania/kasowania plików w obrazach dysków.
Altirra 1.9 test 11 [changelog 24.01.2011]
- System | Audio | Audio Monitor now enables an on-screen display of the four POKEY audio channels.
- Tools | Disk Explorer lets you drag files in and out of disk images. A few caveats on the Disk Explorer, currently: it may act badly if you give it a disk that isn't DOS 2 or SpartaDOS format, it shouldn't be used on disk images that are currently mounted, and be careful when modify disk images as there are probably still bugs in the write support.
I was struck by both nostalgia and ambition and started to write a new 8-bit Atari emulator from scratch. This is the result.
At this point, I've learned a lot more about the Atari and Altirra now emulates more than I ever had or did years ago, but I still work on it periodically. It also serves as a modularity test for the VirtualDub code base, from which Altirra shares some components. If you are struck by nostalgia too or have a desire to do some Atari development, perhaps it might be useful to you, too.
