Release 44 ("Milan")

This is the third release of x16-emulator by the X16Community team

  • Features/Fixes
    • Many changes to HostFS, including
      • Fix regression for loading ":*" from HostFS while also using an SD card image
      • Fix -prg and -sdcard options working together, which did not properly handle the case after emulator reset
      • Proper wildcard behavior in dir filters and OPEN string
      • Fix filetype directory filter command parsing
      • Add $=L long mode directory listing to emulate the new feature in the ROM.
      • Speed up directory filetype filter
      • Add CMD/SD2IEC style directory navigation: CD:← to enter parent directory
      • Partial emulation of case-insensitivity in filenames on case-sensitive host filesystems.
        • This works in OPEN strings and directory names in commands (CD:, etc.) which do not contain a / character.
        • It also works on the last path segment in relative or absolute paths in directory names or OPEN strings. In other words, if given a path specification containing one or more / characters, it will do only a case-insensitive search on the part after the final /.
      • Proper translation between UTF-8 filenames and their ISO representations.
    • Implement VPB behavior to match hardware [akumanatt]
      • Fix BRK to have VPB behavior
    • Support for additional keycodes (NumLock, Menu) [stefan-b-jakobsson]
    • Fix debugger to set the correct bank for breakpoints [gaekwad]
    • New -fullscreen CLI option
    • Proper cleanup when the emulator exits when in full screen [irmen]
    • FX emulation, which mirrors the features in the FX enhancement to the VERA firmware. See the VERA FX Reference for details.
    • Writing bit 6 and bit 7 together into VERA_AUDIO_CTRL now enables looping the PCM FIFO (and does not reset the FIFO). Any other write into VERA_AUDIO_CTRL disables looping.
    • New -opacity CLI option for window transparency [tstibor]
    • New support for screenshots (Ctrl+P/⌘P) [dressupgeekout]
    • Fix small memory leak caused by pasting into the emulator
    • Use relative mouse motion while in grabbed mode
    • Remove -geos CLI option [dressupgeekout]
    • New YM2151 audio core: remove old MAME core, replace with ymfm
      • Allows for IRQs from the YM, requires specifying -enable-ym2151-irq on the command line
    • Emulate hardware open bus behavior when reading from a device that doesn't exist in the $9Fxx space
    • Reset via I2C command: defer machine reset to the main loop, which allows the I2C write routine to return cleanly.
    • Fix 65C02 BIT immediate behavior [XarkLabs]
    • New NMI trigger emulator hotkey, emulates Ctrl+Alt+Restore on hardware (Ctrl+Backspace/⌘Delete) [XarkLabs]
    • Fix line artifact in application icon/logo
    • Grabbing the mouse with (Ctrl+M/⇧⌘M) now grabs the keyboard as well. It allows the emulator to receive keystrokes and key combinations which would otherwise be intercepted by the operating system.
    • Fix description of fill value in makecart
    • New features implemented in the ROM
  • Build
    • Link-time optimization is now enabled by default
    • Portability enhancements [dressupgeekout]
    • Suppress clang warnings due to deprecated sprintf usage in ymfm lib [XarkLabs]
