ACE for Linux,Mac, Windows

[krusty_benediction]

Thx, I'll retreive it during the week.

• I've never heard of SCP before. Is it a commun image disc format ?
• What about adding a "Send to CPC" feature : generation of a snapshot of the CPC content, send to /tmp folder of m4 over wifi and execution (like -y of https://github.com/M4Duke/cpcxfer).

SCP stands for Super Card Pro dumping solution, it's a "common" format for dumpers

Will release a new version in a few days because there is still trouble with breakpoints, groumpf!

About M4 or other specific/dedicated/hardware tools, i'm not sure it's an emulator job, you can already pool yourself the snapdir and send it with a small bash

Thanks @roudoudou for ACE and @TotO for the tip of using ACE, I am leaving old emulators behind!!!

Hmm I wonder how I can figure out the version I'm using right now. Not seeing it anywhere....

when starting, the console displays the date

[Deevee]

Thank you. I never launched it from console yet, but I see interesting command line parameters here. Will be useful.

Roudoudou, sur le live

https://www.twitch.tv/recalbox

on parle de la possibilité d'ajouter AceDL sur Recallbox (car entre autre pas d'émulation CPC+ correcte dessus), mais ils ont besoin de sources et encore faut-il que ce soit compatible avec leurs contraintes techniques.

Si tu es intéressé éventuellement il faudrait se rapprocher d'eux.

[roudoudou]

it's not my decision to open sources of Ace (and i guess it will need to implement kind of retroArch library or something like that)

[Deevee]

Is it possible to import a .sym file from rasm into ace_dl to get labels displayed during trace ?

[roudoudou]

Not the sym file
There is an évolution of rasm with ace
Now ask for ace symbol file, iit will output a .rasm file
Juste drag it to ace
Note: snapshot included rasm symboles as default

[Deevee]

Thanks for your answer. That was the -rasm option I was missing on the command line.
It wont replace addresses in call, jp, etc though... But that's fine. Thanks

Will add that for jp/call on next release i promise

Another amazing release and I continue very proud that thanks to your help, ACE doesn't complain anymore about my disk loader, hehehe.

Only one detail, the windows 64 release package doesn't include this two sounds: "seek_ALPS_maxout.wav" and "seek_Matsu_maxout.wav".

Roudoudou, would it be possible to add the last Willy plugin with the MIDI feature ?

[Toundrik]

Hello Roudoudou, thanks for making possible ACE on other OS !

I've a question : is the AVX-512 instruction set mandatory for the emulator ? My poor old Phenom II X6 doesn't understand these  and without the source code, no way to compile myself.

Which OS?

will take a look at compiler options for very old architecture... (14 years, well done!)

I'm on Fedora 39 ! 
With 8 GB of DDR2 and a 1050 ti, it's surprising what you still can do

Preparing a new background image on the web site stating that Roudoudou is the best man ever !

MIDI is so sexy !

I have issues with my Dualshock 4 controller. It works fine with other emulators.

It is detected as USB0 PS4 Controller (see attachement), but only the left analog stick works as joystick directions. The D-Pad doesn't, and none of the buttons are working at all.
Is there something to configure somewhere to fix that ?

Thanks.

i know some PAD buttons are invisible to libSDL
i can send you a exec to test if it is the case for you

[Deevee]

Yes sure
