NetBSD/{i386,powerpc}, so that packages fail properly, rather than
allowing make to fail. e.g.
===> PanoTools-2.6b1nb1 requires compat_linux, which is not available for SunOS-5.9-sparc
===> PanoTools-2.6b1nb1 is not available for SunOS-5.9-sparc

Changes since 1.11 include:
** General changes
- Added -autoload switch which acts like -autostart but without
actually starting the program.
- It is possible to use the printer emulation without switching off
true drive emulation now.
** C64 changes
- Mouse emulation should work again.
- Improved trap emulation compatibility.
** C128 changes
- Fixed some VDC crashs.
- Added support for national firmware and keyboard mappings.
- Implemented fast IEC bus.
** PLUS4 changes
- New emulator. Currently it contains many bugs and several features
are missing. Do not send any bug reports for now.
** VIC-II
- Fixed some raster interrupt emulation bugs.
- Some minor NTSC fixes.
- Reset should properly reset the VIC-II now.
** SID changes
- The ReSID state is saved in snapshots now.

Changes since 0.69.1 includes:
- Almost everything from MAME 0.70
- Fixed the handling of leading zeros in the fractional part of a float
in src/unix/snprintf.c. (Chris Kirmse)
Changes since 0.69.1 includes:
- Almost everything from MESS 0.70
- Fixed the default values for -sysinfo_file and -messinfo_file, which
were missing a '/'.
- Fixed the handling of leading zeros in the fractional part of a float
in src/unix/snprintf.c. (Chris Kirmse)
version 1.0:
- fixed the problem with Ticks getting incremented on every interrupt, not
just 60Hz (e.g. moving the mouse made the caret blink faster)
- Unix: integrated JIT compiler for Linux/x86 and FreeBSD/x86
- Unix: moved minimum autoconf support to 2.52+
- Unix: add large file support for 2+ GB hard disk images
- Unix: cleaned up pthread attributes [Brian Johnson]
- Unix: fixed floppy problems under Linux
- Unix: implemented "ignoresegv" feature on Linux/x86, Linux/ppc, Darwin/ppc
- Unix: serial port baud rates are now set correctly
- Unix: it is now possible to make the serial drivers pipe their input/output
to programs by using a '|' followed by a command line as the modem or
printer port setting (instead of a device name like '/dev/ttyS0')
[Brian Johnson]
- Unix: the option "--config FILE" tells B2 to use a different config file
- Unix: new prefs options "dsp" and "mixer" to set the OSS device names
instead of the hardcoded '/dev/dsp' and '/dev/mixer'
The patches for this update were contributed by Todd Vierling in
private e-mail.
- added support for on-the-fly video resolution and depth switching,
and gamma tables
- fsave/frestore emulation under AmigaOS and NetBSD/m68k always behaves
like a 68882/68040 FPU, eliminating the need for 68060 FPU patches
- added support for platform-independant mutexes, used by adb.cpp for
thread-safe mouse handling
- the TIME_OFFSET constant has been replaced by a (portable) function
TimeToMacTime(); file dates in ExtFS should now be correct
- ADBInterrupt() is no longer called from the 60Hz interrupt but has
its own interrupt flag, potentially increasing the smoothness of
mouse movement
- ether.cpp: implemented relatively platform-independant "AppleTalk
over UDP" mode that doesn't require any special kernel modules or
network drivers but can only interconnect instances of Basilisk II;
this is enabled by setting "udptunnel" to true
- Unix: windowed display mode supports different resolutions and color
depths, which can be switched on-the-fly
- Unix: Ctrl-F5 grabs mouse in windowed mode (enhanced compatibility
with games like flight simulators)
- Unix: X11 events are handled as soon as they arrive, outside of the
60Hz video refresh raster
- Unix: audio sample rate, bit depth and channel count are adjustable
in the MacOS "Sound" control panel

now and not NetBSD-*-arm32. Changes include one or more of:
- Change MACHINE_ARCH == arm32 to also match arm
- Where ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM includes NetBSD-*-arm32, add NetBSD-*-arm
- Where BROKEN or worked around for arm gcc bugs, set USE_GCC3
The last may shake out a few more broken packages the next bulk build.
DOSBox is a DOS-emulator using SDL for easy portability to
different platforms, DOSBox has already been ported to
several different platforms, such as Windows, BeOS, Linux,
Mac OS X...
DOSBox emulates a 286/386 realmode CPU, Directory
FileSystem/XMS/EMS, a SoundBlaster card for excellent sound
compatibility with older games...
You can "re-live" the good old days with the help of
DOSBox, it can run plenty of the old classics that don't
run on your new computer !
Changes:
- Changed output audio sample format back to unsigned again (seems to work
better on some systems).
- Adjusted audio functions so that Hatari's sound should be right again.
- Fixed TOS patching routine - it was only working on big endian machines
(Thanks to Tony Smolar for the hint!).
- IKBD_Cmd_ReadClock() should now work.
- Some parts of the code accessed the SR directly to read the IPL - however
the UAE CPU core only updates the SR when doing a MakeSR() first. So this
is done in the affected code parts now, too.
- The IPL wasn't raised when a MFP interrupt occured - fixed now.
- Full screen resolution for ST-Low can now be selected from the screen
setup dialog.
- The IKBD emulation does not longer duplicate joystick fire buttons when
a game (like Babarian) tries to use both, joystick and mouse => Games like
Lotus Turbo Esprit Challange are now working again!
- Improved audio timer function - the code should now be a little bit faster.
- Resynced Hatari's UAE CPU core with UAE 0.8.22 - this fixes some bugs in
68k instructions like ABCD and SBCD.
- Now only reinitializing the sound subsystem if really needed, this should
fix a problem with Linux ALSA sound driver (Thanks to Tony Smolar for
discovering this problem!).
- Added another patch for TOS 2.05 so that this TOS version should now work
with Hatari, too.
- Rewrote TOS patching routine. It is more flexible now.
- Removed 0xa0ff opcode for VDI resolutions; using GEMDOS_OPCODE now instead.
- Fixed MMU RAM size configuration bug.
- Rewrote some screen conversion functions in C (low320x8.c, low640x8.c,
med640x8.c and spec640x16.c).
- When a bus or address error occurred, the PC was often not set to the
right exception handler routine. This has been fixed now - thanks to
Philippe Gerin for finding the bug and the patch for solving it!
