Quite a lot of changes! The biggest being new support for the CoCo 3 and MC-10. And I've tried to make the manual more useful, though that's a hiding to nothing...
Still, enough for me to call this "1.0".
Also, bug fixes, and almost certainly lots of bug introductions. I've been doing this long enough; I know there's bound to be a 1.0.1 soon enough.

not 100% sure about this.
I think command line is broken for Dragon32 machine.
-cart dragondos
The script i used for previous emulator version .37 has stopped working with my gamebase.
i can add or remove DOS/DELTA carts when using a Dragon64 setup.
so that part is 100% working.
can you do a quick check please!
Thanks

Hmm, Dragon 32s are starting up with DragonDOS for me...
Can you post the script and any xroar.conf?

The script just creates a command line and launches emulator.
similar to running a batch file.
i am using win32 version.
config
Code: Select all
default-machine dragon32
machine dragon32
machine-desc Dragon 32
machine-arch dragon
nodos
none working batches in v1.00, which work in xroar-035,036-w32
Code: Select all
xroar -cart dragondos
xroar -machine dragon32 -cart dragondos
working batch in all xroar-35,036,100-w32
Code: Select all
xroar -machine dragon64 -cart dragondos

Just tested Windows x64 version and it works.
so problem is Win32 version only.
but i did notice loading game ROM / cart fails in both window versions.
i am guessing it is has something to do with the forward/ backslash difference,
between linux and windows command line.
As this worked when i put the rom in the emulator folder.
Code: Select all
xroar -run "Starship Chameleon (1983)(Dragon Data Ltd)[!].rom"

Ok I'm going to have to dig a real windows machine out - I'm failing to make it fail
If I do this under Wine and refer to the file with a windows like path with backslashes in, it works fine:
Code: Select all
$ wine xroar.exe -run 'c:\users\ciarana\blah\Starship Chameleon (1983)(Dragon Data Ltd)[!].rom'
sdl: init: SDL2 UI
sdl: init: SDL2 video
windows32: init: Windows file requester
sdl: init: SDL2 audio
Floating point, stereo, 48000Hz
3 frags * 1024 frames/frag = 3072 frames buffer (64.0ms)
No joysticks found
Machine: Dragon 64
Loading ROM image: C:\users\ciarana\Documents\XRoar\roms\d64_1.rom
Loading ROM image: C:\users\ciarana\Documents\XRoar\roms\d64_2.rom
32K mode BASIC CRC = 0x84f68bf9
64K mode BASIC CRC = 0x17893a42
Loading ROM image: c:\users\ciarana\blah\Starship Chameleon (1983)(Dragon Data Ltd)[!].rom
CRC = 0x06c9b4e7
Cartridge: [rom] Starship Chameleon
Loading ROM image: c:\users\ciarana\blah\Starship Chameleon (1983)(Dragon Data Ltd)[!].rom
CRC = 0x06c9b4e7
Loading ROM image: c:\users\ciarana\blah\Starship Chameleon (1983)(Dragon Data Ltd)[!].rom
CRC = 0x06c9b4e7
I can't make it not work with DragonDOS either:
Code: Select all
$ wine xroar.exe -default-machine dragon32 -cart dragondos
sdl: init: SDL2 UI
sdl: init: SDL2 video
windows32: init: Windows file requester
sdl: init: SDL2 audio
Floating point, stereo, 48000Hz
3 frags * 1024 frames/frag = 3072 frames buffer (64.0ms)
No joysticks found
Machine: Dragon 32
Loading ROM image: C:\users\ciarana\Documents\XRoar\roms\d32.rom
32K mode BASIC CRC = 0xe3879310
Loading ROM image: C:\users\ciarana\Documents\XRoar\roms\dplus49b.rom
CRC = 0x7c6dfca8
Cartridge: [dragondos] DragonDOS
Loading ROM image: C:\users\ciarana\Documents\XRoar\roms\dplus49b.rom
CRC = 0x7c6dfca8
Loading ROM image: C:\users\ciarana\Documents\XRoar\roms\dplus49b.rom
CRC = 0x7c6dfca8
I'll try and get a Windows machine out tomorrow; maybe the weekend!

Just to confirm info...
rom/cart game and dragon dos work for me when using a dragon64 config with win32 version.
it's only dragon32 that fails.
x64 version
works with dragon32 and dragon dos.
needs dragon64 config to run cart game.
so i can make disk games work by forcing dragon64 or using x64 xroar.
i guess a small typo somewhere between the various builds.
