Great news and well done again Richard !

WinAPE is my main development tool for well... something


but my main old bug with double sided DSKs still exists...  >:(

when you flip side,  you either get "Disk missing" error or a previously opened different disk image!!!

Great Job. Just logged into my PayPal and send you some $$$ for having that great tool developed.

Now something stupid: how to I debug (like "single step" from Breakpoint ? ) Can't find a "That KEy does that in debugger mode" *sniff*

For Linux (Kubuntu 14.04) under Wine:
German Keyboard is not recognized and redefining the keyboard is not possible as the Umlauts are not in the list.
Redraw Problems in the Editor
Statusline of the Main Window with the Icons is only drawn if Direct-X stretch is switched on.

When you start WinApe on Windows 10, you are asked to install DirectDraw.
The info dialog should lead you to the download.
I'ven't had any info dialog opened during the installation...

At the ACME Shop, it's that new 2-extra-joystick device from TotO.  :P :) :) :)
You're so funny tonight. Did you eat some clown in this good night ?  ;D

Thank you very much for your donations guys, press F7 for the debugger.

There is now a full CHM help file and generated legacy WinHelp file containing all the information, including all assembler directives and usage.

As you can see, the demo named "From Scratch" by the demogroup Vanity isn't working properly in WinAPE.
The scroll effect is broken (see screenshot), and the Tetris transition effect isn't displayed either. :(

I've never seen the demo, does it work in other emulators? Your emulator? Any idea what's wrong with it?

TFM

Gentleman, we need to ship a SF2 to Australia for Executioner! I put 25 Bucks in, who is supporting too? (And where do we get one? Maybe @Prodatron knows?).

Wouldn't a "Kangaroo" be more helpful ?  :doh:

That would be 299 Euros....

Dr. Zed sold em for 120 Euros.

So yes....  :picard2:

Not too much for the casual user, but an impressive changelog nonetheless!


Thanks so much for your work, man...


(and thanks to those pointing out the donations; I just sent some mysefl).

The best for me in winape are the debugger & the assembler, and in this areas there are a lot of changes and things improved!

Indeed. The average, casual user/gamer will see indirect benefits :)

Thanks for the donation Gryzor...

There's actually quite a bit improved for the casual user: better emulation including palette changes, sound, most CDTs now work, improved video recording, separate controls for full-screen/windowed... but, yes most of the improvements are in the debugger/assembler area.

The Help seems not to work with  WIN10 ?

I can open it via F1 but can't read the "articles".

Is that the same for everyone using Windows 10? I haven't installed Win 10 yet since I have too much stuff on my PC that may not work as expected, but I do have access to my wife's Surface Pro which has Win 10 on it.

On Win 8.1, I had to go to the html help file, right click on it, select properties and click 'unblock' to get it to display.  Maybe the same problem for you?

The help works fine on my Windows 10. I can confirm it!

But did you get WinAPE working in the end?

Microsoft are clearly anal about security to block downloaded CHM files by default instead of just disabling script in them (though I'm not sure how it determines it's downloaded, and why it only happened to a couple of people).

Nice update! Haven't tested everything yet, but already have two feature requests for whenever you feel bored :)

  • Option to keep a 4/3 display ratio when in fullscreen on a wide display.
  • Option to disable the splash-screen (or make it so that any open menu ie. File, Settings, Debug, etc is not automatically closed when the splash-screen disappears).

Usually by throwing a bit of extra data into an alternate data stream on the file, which is a rather obscure NTFS feature. It'll depend on which browser was used to download the file, and what filesystem it's been written to (FAT doesn't support ADSes).

Yeaahhh, i did it and use it too. Impressive. I like your amstrad plus split rasters' correction. Thanks....
I did some test with vertical splitscreen and it's very strange because it seems you don't have to modify crtc register2 to have some right screens.... Trying to execute the same code on my Amstrad plus will give me a crashed screen (diagonal  display of course).

Thanks for the update!  I havent had much time to look at it yet, but one of the things I have looked at is the palette changes against a photo I had taken previously of a test image from my real CPC's screen and WinAPE is now looking spot on compared to the CPC image, so that's awesome.

EgoTrip

I've used the new version quite a bit in developing my new game, and the audio sounds like it should now. Also the annoying clicking and audio desync has gone from the avi recordings. Now I can make more CPC videos. Thanks for your hard work.
