[cpc] SugarBox 0.20 (Yet another CPC emulator)

SugarBox jest, jak zresztą pełna jego nazwa głosi, kolejnym emulatorem mikrokomputerów firmy Amstrad-Schneider - CPC464, 646, 6128. Głównym celem jego rozwoju jest dokładne odwzorowanie pracy monitora wraz z nieznacznymi poprawkami w emulacji procesora Z80, w który były wyposażone flagowe konstrukcje tej marki.

Sugarbox v0.26 5/04/2016   

This update is mainly focused on IPF and Disk support, but it includes also a debugger (rather simple at the moment, should be improved in the next releases). Z80 emulation is a bit better (all Z80 tests are now correct).

  • [CT-RAW/IPF]: Native support of these two format. CAPSLib dll from SPS is no longer used. This will fix some non-working dump( due to bug in the lib).

  • [edsk]: Fixed some nasty memory overrun.

  • [edsk]: Fixed support for ALLGAP dumps
  • [FDC]: New paradigm: Weak bits are now handled by bit. Multi-revolution dump are converted to single revolution with weak bits data.
  • [FDC]: Fix a bug with the SZ byte = 0 in read track command (this fixed « War In Middle Earth (UK) (1987) (CPM) [Original].dsk » dump)
