Re: XRoar 1.5 released

So various point releases happened since then, but I've just pushed out 1.5.5 - the big deal here is that hopefully , Windows audio is now a little less glitchy. This SDL release fixed a bug that was preventing me from allowing use of Windows' WASAPI audio API. And switching to that API meant I coul...

Re: Finally tested 256K

Ciaran - do you have a copy of the J&R Banker software that they included with their 256K and 512K banker boards? If not, Ken Waters (Canadian Retro Things) has copies of them. I think it even came with OS9 Level 1 RAM disk drivers for it. I don't, though I see the disk on colorcomputerarchive. Unf...

Finally tested 256K

Looks like a) the 256K DRAMs I ordered off ebay last year are good, and b) SAMx4 256K banker support really does work. Yay!

Re: XRoar 1.5 released

As promised, there's 1.5.1 - crash bug fixed, and there's a little built-in list of "special" cartridges to smooth things over for CoCo 3 users.

Re: XRoar 1.5 released

Glad it's working for you :)

There'll be a 1.5.1 soon, as there's a crash bug if there turns out to be a problem loading cartridges...

Re: Would a PicoDragon be a good idea?

Maybe if you didn't use any of the fanciness... XRoar's become a lot more resource-hungry over the years, as reasonable assumptions of available desktop power climb. It might mean reverting some of the stuff that happens cycle-by-cycle now but used to be bunched up inaccurately for speed. And the vi...

Re: SAMx4 1.0

And now 1.2 - lots of work on the build system means you now don't have to touch the ISE GUI. You still need it installed of course, but if you set up your environment as usual, you can just type 'make' in the cpld/ directory and out pops a set of JED (and SVF) variants. BIG ASTERISK: only tested un...
