Atari++ v1.35 (Win32)

posted in Emulator Release by mfc on Jun 2nd, 2004

Atari++, an excellent Atari emulator for various platforms, has been updated recently. Though it can be run on several OS's, only the Win32 build has been touched thus far. Here is what's new:
  • Fixed a segfault in the file/directory requester due to a buffer overrun when extracting the file or path-part of the selected path.
  • Pokey emulation of the low-part of 16 bit counters was incorrect up to this release. This fixes sound effects of various Basic type-in listings.
  • Added finer Pokey volume control.
  • Added emulation of Pokey nonlinearities.
  • Antic DLI timing was partially incorrect, the DLI signal was generated one cycle too late with DMA registers sampled too early. Users of earlier releases should adjust their preferences and set the "BeforeDLIClocks" to eleven (11) instead of twelve.
  • Added emulation of Antic DLI behaviour if the CPU is stopped. ANTIC does not generate an NMI signal immediately, but waits again for the next possible NMI generation slot in its horizontal scanline.
  • Fixed the behaviour of the backspace key/control code in the S: handler of the built-in Os emulation. This fixes a couple of Basic games.
  • Fixed a critical bug in the Pokey emulation that could have caused crashes on startup due to non-initialized variables.
