A command line tool for copying floppy disks and images from one to another. The program is intended for Microbee disks but is also useful for other formats and is based on the LibDsk library.

Here's what's new :


6 February 2010 - SJK
---------------------

uBeeDisk v1.2.0

New for this release:

• Added --retry-l1 and --retry-l2 retry options. The existing --retry
  option is the same as option --retry-l2.
  
• Added --unattended option to enable/disable automatic handling of errors.
  This mode is now enabled by default. See the global section of the
  ubeedisk.ini.sample if disabled is required by default.
  
• Added --unattended-rab option to set number of sector errors allowed
  before aborting the copy process when the unattended mode is in use.
  
• Added --unattended-rps option to set number of retries per sector allowed
  when the unattended mode is in use.
  
• Added --unattended-seek option to set the maximum number of error seeks
  per disk read allowed when the unattended mode is in use.
  
• Added another option to the recovery options: '[T] ReTry (don't seek T0)'
  
• Added Atari ST 80T Single/Double sided and some MSDOS formats to
  ubeedisk.ini.sample.
  
• Added --diskdesc option so that a disk description can be passed.
  
• Added --diskdescf option for a disk description contained in a file.
  
• Added --force option to bypass confirming requested actions.
  
• Added --append-error to append the error log (if created) to the 'info'
  file instead of creating an error file.
  
• Added a win32 binary installer to the distribution.
  
  Changes:
  
• Changed method used for reading sectors as was causing many soft retries
  to show up in the '.info' file and likely to have caused problems on some
  disks because of a too low retry value at the LibDsk level.
  
• Disabled error checking for disk writing as this was failing when writing
  to disk images following certain disk read errors. This will be looked at
  further at another time.
  
• Changes and additions to the generated '.info' files.
  
• Changed error logging to now go to a '.err' file by default unless
  --append-error has been specified.

Oricutron (formerly known as Oriculator) is an emulator for the Oric series of computers. It is written in plain C, and uses SDL. It is designed to be portable. The is the changelog:

0.1 (06-Feb-2010)
-----------------

• Works well enough to deserve \"0.1\" instead of \"0.0.x\"

• Added symbols support
  
• Implemented help command (?)

• wa: fixed: there was no vertical scrolling possible in the game information subwindow.
  
• \"log|echo\" commands are now ghosted when non-pipbug/chaos.
  
• cd2650: fixed: \"L\" command, etc. now don't play sounds.

A new version of this NES emulator for Windows has been released.

Changelog:

• bugfix: full screen filters were broken
  
• bugfix: video dialog would accidently clear the filter while changing resolutions
  
• bugfix: rewrote mapper 23 (vrc2) vrom handling to fix Crisis Force
  

Along with the main version of Raine, a new release of this Neo Geo CD emulator is also available. These are the changes:

• sound chips state is now saved into savegames, + corrections of unfinished stuff in previous version. See raine changelog for version 0.51.8 + git changelog for details.
  

A new version of this multi-arcade emulator for Windows is available. These are the changes:

• Fixes for previous version : all the ssrpg screens could not be edited, m68kdis could produce hard to read listings for the debuger in some specific conditions, the offsets of the texts displayed while in capture mode are now detected dynamically and added a cheat code to disable ssrpg encounters...
  
• Fm sound chips states are finally saved in the savegames, which means that sound should now remain correct when you reload a savegame. I have waited for years before finally adding this, it's mainly to avoid sound corruption repots because of bad restoration from a savegame.
  
• Fix command line handling for neoraine when passing an argument which takes a parameter and then a game name (the game name must always be at the end of the command line now, reasonable).
  

A new public beta of version 2.0.2 of this Amiga emulator for Windows is available. These are the changes.

Beta 9:

• CE 68000 interrupt handling update, Spectre Party Demo / Phenomena works without jumping
  
• autoscale left and right border position restricted to sane max overscan values
  
• enabling autoscale changed filter mode to scale2x
  
• autoscale detects COLOR00 (background color) changes outside of bitplane area
  
• do not enumerate drives if every \"Include .. drives\" is not ticked
  
• CD32/CDTV crash fix (IOCTL CD crash) (b8?)
