ACE for Linux,Mac, Windows

Btw, BitDefender blocks your page because it tries to "install malicious software" Just thought I'd mention it.

It probably doesn't help that the ACE-DL site doesn't use HTTPS.

It's just so great that these pages are still existing!
It's the most stupid thing on earth, that public websites without login etc. have to be HTTPS

new version https://roudoudou.com/ACE-DL/

- added new traductions
- added FullScreen mode for Linux/Windows users (F11 key or Apple-F)
- upgrade width/height limit to 512 in Graphics Explorer
- added Amsdos header option for Memory import in configuration saves
- now you can resize Graphics Explorer window + size saved in configuration
- display an error message when a file is not supported (instead of simply discarding it)
- bugfix step over in trace with HALT, LDIR, CPIR and other 'looped' instructions
- bugfix number of selected Upper Rom, displayed in Gate Array window
- bugfix number of selected bytes after a successful search
- bugfix recovery of explorers coordinates after close/reopening

the fullScreen mode is a prototype, first to ensure the switch is working, the zoom is only integer
next step will be a pixel precise adaptation, thanks for your patience

hi!
it's a call to spanish guyz

is there somebody who wants ACE to be translated to spanish ?
let me know (discord, cpcwiki MP, ...)
cheers!

some danish guyz in the audience also?

BTW any other language is welcomed

[robcfg]

I offer myself to help with the spanish translation

- added FullScreen mode for Linux/Windows users (F11 key or Apple-F)

Does it mean the display is done at 50hz ?

fullScreen means...
...fullScreen

to be more precise, it's a desktop fullScreen (there is no refresh/resolution change)

being 50Hz wont help with the CPC NOT at 50Hz (all the time), it will require some "refresh on demand technology"

[roudoudou]

thanks for the translations, spanish version is almost done

Hi

LOVE ACE-DL, I'm running it on a MacBook & have figured most things out, but I haven't managed to get it to save a .dsk file successfully. The emulator suggests that it HAS been saved, but I can't find it anywhere on my machine & it isn't in the user/ACE-DL folder structure..

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong??

just fixed a bug with directories on Mac
you should be able to see your DSK now (i hope :p )

ps: this version has spanish traductions

[roll_vt]

Thanks for the really speedy reply! I've downloaded the latest version (confirmed as it has the Spanish option, which wasn't there before), but the save .dsk option still doesn't seem to be working on the Mac version

check if there is a "dsk" subdir in  $HOME/ACE-DL-Files/export/ dir (Sid may contact you for this)

[roll_vt]

There wasn't a dsk folder in there, but if I create one, it now works

new release

- upgraded iMPdraw rom pack to sept 2024
- new options for EDSK autosave and versioning
- ability to save Tiles/Sprites in graphic explorer
- ability to load RASM symbols chunk in Cartridge (get new Rasm!)
- ability to toggle all execution breakPoints from Trace with key 'T'
- execution breakPoints in watcher mode are now green in Trace

Great! It's a fantastic emulator, do you plan to integrate the M4 or ULIfAC mass storage system like you did with Dandanator? I saw Duke in the credits...

there is already albireo mass storage mapping a subdirectory in media/albireo folder

go F12 Plugins => Albireo (and Nova)
then
F12 => machine => additional ROM and select uniDOS_Albireo_Nova.e07 on any slot

at 16:50 there is a demonstration of albireo usage

[shacpc]

Thanks for the info, Albireo's mass storage worked well for me, but I have certain programs with M4 or ULIfAC rsx routines that Albireo obviously doesn't recognize. But you're doing something exceptional with this emulator, very complete.

New release with the use of SDL3 instead of SDL2
Please note that SDL3 is still a young library, please report if you have some trouble with that release

Better FullScreen support, more gamepad/joystick supported (especially XBOX!),
 Analog joysticks support for Amstrad Plus, some GUI improvements, virtual keyboard bugfix, ...

[roudoudou]

a few patches later...
(mostly for people using debug, i had to fix more keyboard issues)

I try to run lastest versión with ./AceDL command in Debian 12 but I get this error:

Code Select Expand

./AceDL: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found (required by ./AceDL)
./AceDL: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found (required by ./AceDL)
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 file is present in my system.

Older versions ran OK but I don't know where are the old URLs.

yep, i upgraded the LTS target to Ubuntu 24 (as LTS are limited to 3 years on LUbuntu for example)
i may build again for 22 a release

the SDL2 release for Linux was https://roudoudou.com/ACE-DL/guyGEN.tar.gz and https://roudoudou.com/ACE-DL/guyZEN.tar.gz (recent CPU)

[roudoudou]

try this
https://roudoudou.com/ACE-DL/deb3.tar.gz (debian 12 + last SDL3)

Thanks a lot!

[roudoudou]

still working on SDL3 adaptation, joysticks are now cool (was a trouble with multiple gamepad and configuration), we are close to a complete transition from SDL2 to SDL3
added in the trace title the reason of current break
get the patch 9 on https://roudoudou.com/ACE-DL/

merci roudoudou ! my SNES gamepad is now detected however it behaves strangely: if I press a button once ACE-DL behaves as if I keep the button pressed. if anyone successfully used a SNES gamepad with ACE-DL on macOS Sequoia please let me know!
