Geos Conv. (2022). W końcu i w sumie smutne, że GEOS nie trafił na Atari w latach osiemdziesiątych - to naprawdę był zacny system dla C64.

changes
features added
- Debugger: Added Breakpoints pane and Ctrl+B as a shortcut for a new breakpoint.
- Devices: APT partitions on hard disks can now be opened in Disk Explorer.
- PerfAnalyzer: Added support for exporting to Chrome tracing format.
bugs fixed
- PerfAnalyzer: Fixed NMI showing as IRQ when NMI preempts IRQ.
- UI: Fixed focus glitching when selecting a docked tab with an undocked pane selected.
author's comment:
Adds support for exploring disk images stored in APT partitions. This is accessed by the context menu on a hard disk device:
...which then opens the Disk Explorer with a view of APT partitions on the disk, with options to mount the disk image within each partition, or import/export the partition as a disk image:
This should make it a bit easier to manage partitioned hard disks.

The 800 speaker emulation (Configure System > Outputs > Audio > Simulate console speaker) modifies the sound rendering of console speaker sounds to simulate the acoustics of the 2" speaker inside of the 800's case, which has some significant muffling and resonance. It's implemented by FFT convolution of the raw output with a step impulse that I recorded from an 800 with a microphone.
