Okay, I got ArcEm into a state where it worked quite nicely so I thought I may as well release it (a week's work - not bad!). I'll continue to tweak it and keep up with changes and keep my releases in line with the official ones as far as posisble, from now on.
I managed to get the pointer working properly by catching delta movements (ie. changes from the last position) whilst locking it to where the emulator thinks it should be. Keyboard support is working. HostFS and Extension ROMs compiled in and work ok. Sound is not compiled in, didn't even bother to try (I'll have a look at it on a rainy day). I have a quick question about these support modules. The first is a bug which appears to be in hostfsfiler - I can't open any files which contain a slash (on the RISC OS side; a dot on the Amiga side). SnoopDOS is not reporting that ArcEm is even attempting to read the file, and nothing appears in ArcEm's output either, yet RISC OS gives an error message. Please can somebody check this on another platform and see if it happens there as well. The second is regarding the "Support" module. It includes an ArcEm_Shutdown command - which function in ArcEm does this call? I currently have two exit points - the one ArcEm_Shutdown calls, and one I wrote myself which closes the Amiga resources but terminates the emulation rather abruptly. If anybody wants to check out the archive or add a link to the ArcEm website, it will shortly be available from: http://www.os4depot.net/index.php?function=showfile&file=emulation/computer/arcem.lha NB: The source code is not included, I thought it would make more sense to commit it to CVS. How do I do this? I promise to be a bit quieter from now on :) Cheers Chris ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
