Changes:
- Again some code cleanup and bug fixes.
- The configuration file layout has changed a little bit: You might have to
check your settings in the GUI and to save the new configuration again.
- Window/fullscreen mode is now correctly initialized from the configuration
file.
- Added --window command line option to force a start in window mode.
- Added alert boxes to show warnings, errors and information messages.
- PC mouse pointer is now better in sync with the ST mouse pointer.
- It's now possible to load an alternative cartridge image file.
- A lot of internal code cleanup and bug fixes.
- Added a dialog for creating new blank floppy disk images.
- The source code has been optimized for better emulation speed.
- Added RS232 emulation (still very experimental and not very well tested! It
seems not to work reliable yet. Help for debugging is very appreciated!).
- Some bugs in the 68000 emulation have been fixed.
- The emulator now checks for double bus errors and stops the emulation if
necessary (instead of crashing the emulator).
- Timer-D is now patched correctly again.
- The old font has been replaced by two new fonts so that the GUI now looks
better in high resolutions.
- The fonts are now linked into the executable.
- Added support for DIM floppy disk images.
Changes since 0.30 include (please see the doc/changelog.txt in the hatari
source distribution for full details):
* Speed improvements
* Emulation improvements including:
+ GEMDOS hard disk
+ Mega-ST realtime clock
+ Improved memory mapping
+ Improved bus errors and exception cycles
+ Various games now work
+ Simple printer support
+ Initial MIDI emulation
* General bug fixes including:
+ rtc year fix
+ Fix corruption bug in MSA compression function
* Improvements added for cross-compilation of hatari
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!
as emulators/hatari.
Hatari is an Atari ST emulator for systems supported by the SDL library.
You need a copy of an Atari ST TOS ROM to use this program. Then run
the program as follows: hatari --tos tos.image
