Dapple ][ v3.1
posted in Emulator Release by spacetiger on Jul 2nd, 2003The authors of Dapple ][ have released a new version of their Apple II emulator. They say they're gearing up to make this thing into a full development environment, so the future is looking bright. Here's what's new since v0.26:
- The program should be a little more modular now
- More translation. For now, it's just English and German
- Bugfixes
- The UI was enhanced internally - supporting "real" windows and dialog
- Using RCS
- Restored a couple of tweaks
- Disabled the REE in normal builds
- Additional i18n support
- File dialog supports entering any filename as Dapple 1.25 did (WIP)
- Macro assembler can be called from the CPU menu
- Cosmetic adjustments
- We are now EMU][
- Bugfixes to the CPU core and video handling
- WDOSX is gone. Instead, the file is stubbed with CWSDPMI 5 and with UPX 1.24
- Ditched my own hook system and added in the system which was only into 0.30pt2
- Font changed (new mousetext to replace the Apple logo)
- Moved the version back out of dapple.c
- ASM code for the Megadisk firmware supplied, as well as for other firmware
- Added more hooks to the emulator, supporting a number of functions in the ROM
- Added hooks to the emulator, in progress toward removing Apple code from the list of needed items
- The ASMLIB component (still no source yet) contains a basic 6502 assembler, although it's buggy
- Fixed bugs in the mk.bat file
- Disabled the conversion of the printer to explicit binary mode
- When Dapple ][ cannot find an appropriate video mode, it will now die gracefully
