Hi All
It's been a while seen the last release of E-UAE, but I wanted to assure
everybody that I haven't been entirely idle in that time.
I'm putting a lot of effort into getting the next version into a releasable
state, and hopefully it'll be ready to go in a week or two.
I'll give a quick summary of what's going to be in the next version.
* Many core emulation changes merged from WinUAE 1.2.
* The bsdsocket.library emulation should now work on any POSIX-like system (I
replaced the stack magic voodoo with something that's portable. The 'old'
network stack emulation which required a stub library has now been removed).
* 64-bit hardfiles are now supported (thanks in part to Martin Blom).
* Auto-scroll screens now work in P96.
* Saving/loading emulator state now supported.
* MacOS X version is now a proper Cocoa application (this is thanks in part to
some great work done by Steve Saunders) and no longer requires hacks to
build.
Things still to do for next release:
* Complete save-state dialogs on supported platforms (currently AmigaOS file
requesters are done).
* Finish up changes for cocoa-ization on OS X.
* Add rpath support for the BSD people.
* Maybe get vsynced double-buffering to a releasable state (at least in the
SDL display driver). Maybe.
I'll try and provide a current source-code snapshot for those-inclined to
build from source to play with very soon, and hopefully some binaries for the
rest of you.
BTW, I try to ensure that the CVS repository at sourceforge is always in a
buildable state (okay, it was broken for OS X for a while). If you want to
check out the code, run the ./bootstrap.sh script in the directory root
before configuring (if the configure script is modified by a CVS update, then
you're then you'll probably need to run ./bootstrap.sh again and
re-configure.)
Any comments?
Cheers,
Rich
