Nowy rok się rozpoczął i wszyscy postanowili coś wrzucić w ten pierwszy dzień w roku;) - Zacznijmy od 2. bety emulatora ATARI XL/XE/5200 - Altirry, którą wczoraj jeszcze Phareon dopieszczał, po ukazaniu się "jedynki"
Altirra 1.9 Test 2 Change Log
- BASIC option should be working again for 800 mode, but you need the hardware mode set to 800 *AND* the OS set to OS-B.
- It wasn't actually the EXE break option that was the issue, but an extra event I had added to the simulator. Should be fixed now (Issue by MacLane: exe files are no longer listed unless you do show all supported every time).
- Debbuger hidden dialog (Issue by Breaker) - I added the crash dialog as something a bit more friendly than just dumping people into the debugger. It doesn't come up if you are already in the debugger, and otherwise pressing Pause will drop it. Esc/Close also works since I bound Pause to the cancel option. Some of the options are grayed not because they aren't implemented, but because they don't apply -- for example, you don't get the option to disable BASIC if it is already disabled.
- I fixed the mapping problem on the MaxFlash carts.
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.
