Re: XRoar 0.25 released

There are no real Windows improvements (unless you run the GTK+ build ;)) beyond the core stuff. You can define new machines & carts by specifying architecture, rom, etc. in the config file, there are extra CLI options, and accuracy has improved (there are certain documents online that my oscillosco...

The usual combination of CTRL+SHIFT+[5-8] works fine.
"Bugger" :)

I'll look at it soonish.

Re: XRoar 0.25 released

Wow, excellent! Well FYI the only thing I had to hack out of the code to build that was hiding the mouse pointer on a keypress - not the greatest loss :) Your success prompted me to look into why it looks so bad under Wine, and it turns out this is an old bug in Wine, and the packages in Debian are ...

Re: XRoar 0.25 released

Well, after fighting with GtkGLExt's autobreak for a while and then just hand-editing the files it generates so it doesn't think it can use X11, I've built something that seems to work under Wine, albeit in an interesting fashion: all the menus take about half the height of my whole display. Not opt...

Re: XRoar 0.25 released

Well technically , yes! But GTK+ is such a huge mass of dependencies, you either end up distributing enormous packages, or imposing extra steps on the end user (download & install GTK+ and GtkGLExt). Not such a big deal on Linux where it will probably be there anyway, and if it's not, it's just an "...

XRoar 0.25 released

(Finally). The only thing immediately visibly new is the user interface under GTK+ and Mac OS X, but all the other fixes and odds and ends that have appeared in snapshots over the last nearly-a-year should be in there. Didn't get around to adding the tape/drive control dialogs to the Mac OS GUI I'm ...

Re: xroar and disk writeback

Bug: fixed! Thanks for that :) What I haven't fixed is that it's actually impossible to specify a disk bigger than 40TSS when creating... As for the UI, I've been working on a little something: http://www.6809.org.uk/tmp/xroar/gtk-tape-ui.png http://www.6809.org.uk/tmp/xroar/gtk-drive-ui.png GTK+ on...

Re: WIMP on the Dragon

WIMP is by Michael Edwards ("Broomsoft"). I'm not aware of anything that runs in it other than what comes with it. There's also the "MAGIC GURU" system by Max Hantsch - there was a thread on the board about this a while back, but searching for "magic" doesn't seem to find it. Check it out here: http...

Re: 6809 CPU in Dragons.

I have a CoCo 2 in which it is not socketed.

Edit: just opened up the CoCo 3, and it's not socketed in that either.

Re: New CoCoDskUtil

I gave it a go under Wine. Installs ok, but running the exe just gives "Run-time error '0'". The screenshots make it look pretty useful though.

Edit: hexedit.exe runs ok, but I already have native hex editors :)
