Sugarbox v0.26 (http://www.octoate.de/wp/2016/04/06/sugarbox-v0-26/?pk_campaign=feed&pk_kwd=sugarbox-v0-26)
6 April 2016, 9:00 pm(http://www.octoate.de/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Sugarbox-300x263.png)A new version of Sugarbox, a relatively new Amstrad CPC emulator for Windows, was released. The main feature of the new version is the support for various CPC emulator disk image formats (e.g. HFE of the HxC floppy emulator (http://hxc2001.free.fr/floppy_drive_emulator/) or RAW from kyroflux (http://www.kryoflux.com/)), precise Z80 emulation (according to Kevin Thackers timing test bench) and some other features.
Be sure to test the new version of the emulator and download the latest version from http://sugarbox.free.fr.
Changelog:- [CT-RAW/IPF]: Native support of these two format. CAPSLib dll from SPS is no longer used. This will fix some non-working dump( due to bug in the lib).
- [IPF]: Add a SAVE IPF option. You can save your current disk in IPF format, to generate a 3″ disk. You can even write dump with weak sectors.
- [HFE]: Now it’s possible to save HFE file!
- [edsk]: Added some tuning to handle sector of header size lower than real size.
- [edsk]: Fixed some nasty memory overrun.
- [edsk]: Fixed the way of handling overlapped disk: “Corsarios (UK) (1988) (CPM) [Original].dsk” disk now run correctly. In fact, all dsk should now retrieve their original size of 6k/track
- [edsk]: Fixed support for ALLGAP dumps
- [FDC]: New paradigm : Weak bits are now handled by bit. Multi-revolution dump are converted to single revolution with weak bits data.
- [FDC]: Fix a bug with the SZ byte = 0 in read track command (this fixed “War In Middle Earth (UK) (1987) (CPM) [Original].dsk” dump)
- [Tape]: Add a delay when motor is on/off. This fixed “Last Mission”
- [Z80]: Interrupt mode 0 is partially fixed: It does nothing, but no longer corrupt the Z80 registers
- [Z80]: Fix some wrong behaviour of undocumented opcodes
- [Z80]: Add the undocumented ‘Q’ register used for Flags, and fix the SCF/CCF instructions regarding this register
- [Z80]: All Z80 tests from Patrik Rak, adapted to the CPC by Kevin Thacker, are now correct.
- [Display]: Fixed wrong behaviour for 100%speed with 100hz screen without black frame insertion: Speed was twice what was intendeed
- [General]: Add Autorun disk on insertion which try to guess the best file to run.
- [General]: Optimization: Everything is now running 60-80% faster than before
- [General]: Add a support for auto-executing BIN file (with AMSDOS header), through drag’n’drop.
- [General]: Fixed the Spanish configuration for 464, and added support for Danish keyboard.
- [General]: Added -fullscreen command line to enable fullscreen by default
- [General]: Fixed the “-command” option : In order to run a disc, just launch your command as Sugarbox -command run\”disc\” for example
- [General]: Added sound for disk drive
- [General]: Fix copy/paste for english/spanish/danish
- [GUI]: Added a feedback when loading tape/disk/SNA/SNR
- [GUI]: Added a preliminary debugger, with Register edition, breakpoints, flags
- [Joystick support]: Fixed diagonals not supported with some joypads (now, games should be far more playable!)
- [Memory]: Fixed the configuration : 64k computer no longer have improper PAL
- [Settings]: Fixed some nasty bugs preventing the keyboard settings to work
