Xroar v0.15 released

[Robert]

XRoar is a Dragon 32, Dragon 64 and Tandy CoCo emulator for Unix, Linux, GP32, MacOS X and Windows32.

 

Notes for v0.15

I'm uploading this just before going on holiday - will sort any problems with it when I get back!

 

User-visible changes:

 

* Semigraphics mode 6 implemented.

* Virtual cassette writing supported. Control+W attaches a file for writing. Not available from the GP32 interface yet.

* While reading virtual cassettes, fake leader bytes are inserted when cassette motor is turned on. Improves compatibility with some CAS files.

* Cartridge ROMs can be inserted on the fly using Control+I (hold Shift to prevent autorun). Available in the usual menu on GP32.

* Windows32 UI has separate save dialog.

* Timing issue with short branches fixed (now "Dragonfire" game on CoCo looks ok).

 

Some behind-the-scenes changes:

 

* 6809 instruction loop function now keeps all registers local so compiler has more opportunities for optimisation.

* WD2797 emulation now implements CRC16, which should be useful later on when DMK loading is added (a format that preserves more information about the structure of the disk).
