x16-emulator-r33

Main differences:

BREAKING CHANGE: The contents of the ROM banks have changed: KERNAL: 0, KEYBD: 1, CBDOS: 2, GEOS: 3, BASIC: 4.

Emulator:

• significant performance optimizations
• VERA
  • enabled all 128 sprites
  • correct sprite zdepth
  • support for raster IRQs
• SDL controller support using -joy1 and -joy2 [John J Bliss]
• 65C02 BSD fixes [Norman B. Lancaster]
• feature parity with new LOAD/VLOAD features [John-Paul Gignac]
• default RAM and ROM banks are now 0, matching the hardware
• GIF recording can now be controlled from inside the machine [Randall Bohn]
• Debugging
  • Major enhancements to the debugger [kktos]
  • -echo will now encode non-printable characters like this: \X93 for CHR$(93), -bas as well as pasting accepts this convention again
  • -echo raw for the original behavior
  • -echo iso to for correct character encoding in ISO mode
  • -ram to specify RAM size; now defaults to 512

ROM:

• BASIC
  • additional LOAD syntax to load to a specific address LOAD [filename[,device[,bank,address]]]
  • LOAD into banked RAM will auto-wrap into successive banks
  • LOAD allows trailing gargabe; great to just type "LOAD" into a directory line [John-Paul Gignac]
  • new BASIC statement: VLOAD to load into video RAM: VLOAD [filename[,device[,bank,address]]] [John-Paul Gignac]
  • complete jump table bridge
• KERNAL: memory size detection
• KERNAL: faster IRQ entry
• GEOS: converted graphics library to VERA 320x200@256c

Known Issues:

• Emulator: LOAD"$ (and LOAD"$",1) will show host uppercase filenames as garbage. Use Ctrl+o to switch to ISO mode for a workaround.
• Shift+AltGr keyboard combinations don't work
