Is... sort-of released. I wanted to get something out before Christmas, so I've thrown the source tarball up, along with the
new manual and a Mac OS X build, as I have a Mac here.
If I get time before I have to get the train tonight, I'll try for some other builds, otherwise it'll have to be next week! Hope somebody can get some use out of this, anyway.
Here as usual:

Edit: ok, managed to find some time, and Windows and DS builds are now up. GP32 one is failing for some reason - that one will have to wait.

Just played with the windows build and... wow! you seem to be doing an amazing job!
The documentation looked pretty good in the PDF format!
One feature that I was looking forward to was the read/write cas and snapshot files - and it worked really nicely. One thing you should include for eager people like me is that writing to a file using "Control-W" you need to add the .cas file extension otherwise you will get confused.
Really good work! Looks like XRoar is ready for some interesting and fun ideas!

Thanks! Though the PDF is really thanks to
Texinfo - LaTeX for lazy people!

Thanks very much for your amazing work (as usual), Ciaran... the ".pdf" doc is a most welcome addition to the package.
And I wish you all a Merry Christmas !

This results in whatever would be in the ROM at that address to appear on the data bus while the RAM is selected for write, causing ROM data to be copied into RAM.

Does XROAR still emulate this behaviour?

It
should - the code is still there. Must admit it's not been part of my regression testing though. A job to add.

It doesn't seem to be working.
