Hi,

Just a quick post to let you know there's a new beta build of AppleWin
with Apple // Game Server support (+other significant changes) here:
http://prdownload.berlios.de/applewin/AppleWin1.16.0.0-beta.zip

1.16.0 - 1 Feb 2009 (beta)
---------------------------
Changes:
.. Support for Apple // Game Server via TCP (port 1977) : beta
.. For GPL reasons, switched the following modules:
- AY8910 (from MAME to FUSE) : beta Mockingboard/Phasor
- MC6821 (from MAME to VICE) : beta Mouse card
- Z80 (from Z80Em to VICE) : beta CP/M Softcard
.. Printer support:
- Printer dump filename
- Filter unprintable characters
- Append to print-file
- Terminate printing after n seconds of idle
- Encoding conversion for Pravets
- Dump to printer (CAUTION! Enabled via command line switch: -use-
real-printer)
.. Added Pravets 8M (Apple II clone)

Fixes:
.. BugID-014557: Fix for loading serial port from Registry (caused
AppleWin to crash when booting Apple Pascal)
.. Some floating bus bugs (fixes the Bulgarian game: "Walking in the
town" & Annunciator read)
.. FLASH rate (now 3Hz, was 6Hz)
.. Fix for Willy Byte & MB support (strange 6522 behaviour!)

==

It's important to note that since v1.15.0 the CP/M support now uses
completely different Z80 emu code, so can you CP/M users please redo
your testing. Thanks!

Also the backend chip emu for Mouse card and Mockingboard/Phasor has
been replaced, so these could also contain new emulation issues.

Incidently the AY8910's (sound chip in Mockingboard) emulation is now
better, as the AY reg writes are now cycle-accurate. What this means
is that it could be possible to playback 8-bit samples via the AY8910
(see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Instrument_AY-3-8910)

Great!

I'll try it out later and let you know how it works for me...

Forgot...

Shift+Ctrl+F9 = Toggle 50% Scan Lines (can also toggle in main
configuration tab)
Fixed: F9, Shift-F9 to cycle forward/backward through the videos
instead of reverse order.

*sigh*

- Added: Command line "-noreg" to not registry file extensions
- Added: Checkbox for "50% Scan lines" in the configuration tab, next
to video mode.
- Fixed: Synced button width of "Ethernet Settings" and "Monochrome
Color"
- Debugger: symsrc is now relocatable, i.e. symsrc load "filename" [,
offset]

Think that's all of 'em Smile

Ok, I see that was a little TOO terse.

It changes the address where debugger symbols are bound to by the
offset (if specified.)

i.e.
If the file symbols.txt contains:
0C58 HOME

symsrc "symbols.txt",f000
would relocate HOME to FC58.

Hope this helps

v1.16.0.2 is up
http://michael.peopleofhonoronly.com/dev/applewin/nightlybuild/

Fixed:
- Full Screen Drive LED Status not showing up when floppy disks being
accessed were set to Read-Only mode.

Internal:
- Cleaned up the code so that Full Screen Drive LED colors will be
easier for users to modify instead of being hard-coded.

Awesome job! - I absolutely love this addition of scanlines - makes the
experience 100 times more authentic/vintage!

Cheers,

np Smile I agree that it adds to the "authenticity" ;-)


v 16.0.0.3 is up.

Fixed:
- Debugger: Pressing Shift, Ctrl, or Alt, when viewing the current
Apple output no longer kicks you back into the debugger. (Allows for
Ctrl-Shift-F9, and Shift-F9 previewing :-)

Beta:
- Debugger: The Full Screen Debugger colors aren't dithered to 16
colors anymore -- the screen is now readable. (Note: This is NOT
checked into the codebase until I get more feedback, or fix more bugs
with it.)

Tom, I downloaded the version from your site and also 3 other subsequent
subversions from Michael's nightly builds and they all worked with my CP/M
and other disk images. Sorry to not have mentioned this sooner. I will
update my websites when I have more time.

This is good to hear - thanks for taking the time to test it.

We will try to pull together a formal public release soon, in order to
lose the current beta tag.
