The Win32 version should be in reasonable shape at the moment, with almost all features now exposed in the UI. Things like auto booting, DOS booting and save prompts are on the Drives tab in the options. I've moved a bunch of stuff around and simplified dialogs where possible, hopefully without removing anything too essential for the majority of users. Printing support is currently unavailable as I'm moving it into the common code to give print-to-file in all versions, with Win32 printer support returning shortly after that. The latest source code in on the same page, but I've not built any extra binary versions yet. The code should compile fine for DOS/Linux/OS X, etc. but there are a few user-interface bits that need finishing before it'll be worth more builds. I've added some but not all of the new options to the built-in GUI, and the Import and Export dialogs still need changing to match the new Win32 versions (which allow external memory to be used, as well as arithmetic expressions for all values). I've also been working on thumb-board / external-keyboard support for the Pocket PC version, but still have one Windows annoyance to work around. *sighs* If I've removed something you can't do without, or you run into any problems (quite possible!), or you need anything explaining, please mail me. > or some other utility that could create empty SAD image? You should probably check with the SAD format creator. Oh, wait... > Well, I only wanted to create an empty disk image with 15 tracks (150KB of > zeros). I tried to use my personal simcoupe (I don't remember where I got > it, it's version 0.90 beta 4), but it's "new disk" dialog always crashes, The original 0.81a had a crash problem in New Disk on some machines, but that should long have been fixed by the 0.90 betas. Rather ironcially, the latest beta now only gives a few fixed geometry choices for new disks, so you won't be able to use that either! The in-progress SamDisk will let you create most image formats, and I'll make sure it covers any _real-world_ SAD disk too. Here's a 15-track SAD2 image anyway: http://obo.homeip.net/15tracks.sad > I was at sourceforge, the CVS sources in ZIP there are more > than 2 years old. I'm not quite sure where you were looking on SourceForge, but grabbing directly from CVS will give you the latest files (up to 24 hours behind check-ins, depending on their server updates). Some of the files will be quite old (including the ReadMe files), but if you look into any of the source sub-directories you'll see much more recent activity. > I was at NVG, there is only version from year 1999! I don't think anyone's actively updating the copy on NVG - it seems to be more to archive old versions? > I was at simcoupe.org, it's pretty the same... That's a fair point - I should really be doing these beta version updates on there. There's always just one more thing that's still unfinished/broken... and my last feature freeze kinda thawed. > A cynic would say "If SimCoupe existed, it would be the best > sam coupe emulator, but it actually doesn't [exist]." :-D Si
