ACE 1.19 is ready; I am looking for a few additional beta testers before the release.
Ping me if you wanna be the first ones to check this new version of the best emulator ever.

OffseT · « **Reply #30 on:** 20:56, 17 September 19 »

In a truly unbelievable event, the best emulator became even better!

ACE 1.19 is out!

Lot of exciting new stuff, but here are the main ones:

Added management of plugins activation from ACE icon.
Fixed overflow detection in CRTC editor window.
Fixed the last kwown emulation issue of CRTC 3 (fixes Tennis Cup 2 intro).
Fixed wrong timing of OUT (0),A opcode when putting data on bus.
Added support for up to 4096K expansion RAM (compatible with MemCard 2M and CPC4MB).
Added support for new snapshot chunks MX??, so that up to 4160K can be stored.
Added preferences save from the menu (resynchronize the icon's tooltypes with run time settings).
Improved joysticks plugin to make use on the sensors.library instead of the lowlevel.library (thanks to Szilárd Biró for his code examples)
Fixed small issues and made internal modifications to ease code portability.

MX?? chunks are following MEM0-8 chunks. They are numbered from 09 to 40 (hexadecimal numbering).
Information are stored compressed like in MEM0-8 chunks.

I wanted to add this description to the snapshot CPCWiki page, but my password was lost and password recovery do not work!

Ça représente une quantité de travail très conséquente et il y a déjà de bons émulateurs sous Windows, ça n'est donc pas une priorité pour le moment.

Done!

MX09 to MX40 i counted 55 slots of 64K -> 3520K
plus MEM0-8 -> 9 slots of 64K -> 576K
total 4096K, not 4160K so i guess some 4M extension are not really 4M or we cannot use the last page of 64K because of IO adressing

From MX09 to MX40 included, there are 56 slots, not 55 slots

rhaaaaaaaaaaa, i forgot the 09 in fact when counting

thank you

Hey guys

It's cool to extend snapshot memory over 512K but what about the snapshot ram configuration still a 8 bits value in the header

Let me know when it's done (for rasm integration)

megachur · « **Reply #39 on:** 09:58, 16 November 19 »

Someone can send me (or post here) snapshot wih Xtra memory sna made with ACE for implemting it on my CPC emulator and test purpose

?
Thanks in advance !

Here is a snapshot (with an animation)Offset told me it works with ACE
If you use with Winape the animation will stop quickly as there is only 512K read and 3.5M free occuring blank screens before it loops again

roudoudou · « **Reply #41 on:** 10:19, 17 November 19 »

I made another one in mode 0 (probably better visual result, can't say)

OffseT · « **Reply #42 on:** 19:13, 22 November 19 »

I confirm, 4MB snapshots from rasm are correctly supporting the new MX?? chunks introduced by ACE.

What a pleasant day!

ACE 1.20 is out!

New features and a few fixes in emulation engine (quite hard to find improvements by now, since it works soooo good!

):

Added a history of the last 10 used files in devices context menus.
Added a preferences window to edit ROMs configuration (in addition to tooltypes and AREXX interface).
Fixed minors bugs in emulation of Amstrad Plus hard sprites.
Implemented emulation of ASIC bug where hard sprites' pixels are not displayed right after a bitmap read of write access.
Fixed a few Z80 vs memory access timings with illegal instructions.
Improved symbols window.
Improved memory editor.
Added preferences for screen geometry settings depending on the CPC model.

The best CPC emulator strikes back with a small update!

Now waiting for amiga-like demos on CPC.

OffseT · « **Reply #46 on:** 11:57, 26 May 20 »

Neither a demo, nor Amiga-like, but surely something will happen.

OffseT · « **Reply #47 on:** 20:02, 12 June 20 »

I am looking for new beta-testers for ACE and the upcoming version 1.22 (which includes new Spanish localisation and an improved/simplified plugins SDK).
Feel free to ping me.

zhulien · « **Reply #48 on:** 16:40, 06 July 20 »

Does it run on a Vampire?

DanyPPC · « **Reply #49 on:** 18:40, 06 July 20 »

It runs only under MorphOS.
