Thanks for the final, hoping to see some nice additions to the new version and maybe some of those silly throw away ideas :)

 

As said, thank you Avery / Phaeron for this wonderful emulator...

I reported the news on websites emucr.com and t2e.pl
but here I did not spread the news, I thought that Avery appears and report as always.

 

in any case, thanks for updating the best Atari emulator, Avery.
and thank you, paul for what was ahead of me.

I knew you had added it to emucr.com as you mentioned it before, I just added it because avery rarely posts about a final, keep warm where you are Sergey, I bet its a bit cold there :)

 

Either way its out and been seen...

 

Now lets hope all our silly bits are added :)

Well, time to start the 2.50 test series, then I guess:

 

http://www.virtualdub.org/beta/Altirra-2.50-test1.zip

http://www.virtualdub.org/beta/Altirra-2.50-test1-src.zip

 

Contains more 65C816 fixes, a POKEY pot emulation fix, improvements to input handling, some debugger additions, and DragonCart support.

 

Note that the DragonCart support is currently pretty raw. For various reasons, Altirra runs a gateway on the emulation network that does NAT, so incoming connections and pings don't work. The built-in TCP/IP stack is also still incomplete and is missing some features like IP fragment handling and TCP urgent data. However, there is built-in tcpdump-style logging.

Shift+F8 PAL crash fixed:

http://www.virtualdub.org/beta/Altirra-2.50-test2.zip

http://www.virtualdub.org/beta/Altirra-2.50-test2-src.zip

 

The DragonCart emulation does support DHCP, but there is a gotcha: you can't use it if there is a cartridge conflict. In particular, it won't work if you boot SpartaDOS X from a MaxFlash cartridge because the MaxFlash banking registers conflict with the DragonCart registers. Cartridges with SDX 64K/128K banking should work, as well as using a non-cartridge based DOS like Atari DOS or SpartaDOS 3.2. Assuming everything is set up, DHCPTEST.COM should work successfully:

 

post-16457-0-34230800-1384029571_thumb.png

 

Note that the network address set up in the DragonCart emulation configuration should not be the same as your real network address. This subset is for an emulated network that is bridged onto your real network. If they are the same, you will not be able to connect to any machines on your real local network. The emulated gateway is always at the x.x.x.1 address, which is 192.168.0.1 with the default 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 settings. If you have services running on your local computer, they can be accessed by connecting to the gateway as those will be redirected to localhost, except for DNS which is redirected to your primary DNS server.

 

If everything is set up correctly, you should then be able to telnet out, which will give traffic log messages like this in the debugger:

I have seen cases where IP65 will mysteriously send ARP requests for addresses outside the local subnet instead of going through the gateway. If this happens, switching to another network address usually fixes it. No idea what causes this yet. PING.COM will not work yet as ICMP echo is not supported by the IP stack.

 

If you are running a stack that uses hardcoded network settings instead of DHCP, like a Contiki distribution, make sure the network/netmask settings match what Contiki was built with. If everything is set up correctly, the web browser should work. The FTP tool will not, as the NAT currently doesn't support non-passive FTP connections. I have gotten the IRC client to work, but it's a very rough experience.

I have a few bug reports..

H: handler (1): When opening a file in append mode (aux1=9) if the file doesn't exist a File Not Found error (170) is returned; the correct behavior is that a blank file should be created and no error is returned.

H: handler (2): In MyDOS, attempting to copy a file from H: to an emulated D: drive fails with Error 165. There is no problem accessing the file, I can even drop to BASIC and write a program that will copy the same file, but MyDOS won't do it.

R: handler: The R: device completely dies if you make an outbound connection then cold-start while still connected. The only workaround I've found is to quit and reopen Altirra.

 

There are also a couple of requests I made in the 2.3 thread, which I'm not sure if you've seen. I am quoting that message below.

 

Thank you once again for an incredible emulator!

Hi Phaeron,

Thanks for fixing the P: handler.

I have a couple of requests regarding the R: emulation. These are basically issues I'm running into while working on Ice-T.

If "Emulate Telnet protocol" is disabled, I expect the R: device to be able to send and receive any data transparently. However this is not the case: while the emulated Atari can receive any byte, it cannot send out a 0xFF.

As for the Telnet emulation, I wish it could be improved a bit. First, it doesn't identify as a terminal type (there ought to be a drop-down like in APE with the options "Do not identify", "VT-52", "VT-100", "VT-102", "ANSI"). As a result of this, when Telnetting to a Linux shell various programs refuse to run (such as Emacs) unless you set the terminal type manually (e.g. export TERM=vt102). See below for a reference on how this negotiation looks like.

Another problem with the Telnet emulation is that it doesn't handle escape sequences properly; for example if the host sends the sequence FF FF the Atari is supposed to receive just an FF, and if the second byte is anything else then it should be interpreted as a command (which can probably safely be ignored, but the Atari isn't supposed to receive anything). Also apparently if the Atari sends a FF it should be translated to FF FF. As a result of this problem, occasional garbage characters are received and file transfers such as Xmodem (which require 8-bit transparency) fail. I've tried other Telnet clients such as Tera Term and had no problems so this is definitely solvable at the Telnet level.

Here is a dump (with some commentary) of Altirra's and APE's initial Telnet negotiation with a Ubuntu host, where Altirra refuses to identify and APE identifies as VT100.

Telnet Negotiation on Altirra:

Ubuntu:  ff fd 18  ff fd 20  ff fd 23  ff fd 27
	Start use: term type, term speed, X location, env.option
Altirra: ff fc 18  ff fc 20  ff fc 23  ff fc 27             
	Won't use any of the above
Ubuntu:  ff fb 03  ff fd 01  ff fd 1f  ff fb 05  ff fd 21
	Will use Supress GA, Start use Echo, 1f. Will use 05, Start use 21.
Altirra: ff fd 03  ff fc 01  ff fc 1f  ff fe 05  ff fc 21
	Start use Supress GA, Won't use Echo, 1f. Stop use 05. Won't use 21.
Ubuntu:  ff fb 01                                         
	Will use Echo.
Altirra: ff fd 01            
	Start use Echo.

Telnet Negotiation on APE:

Ubuntu:  ff fd 18  ff fd 20  ff fd 23  ff fd 27            
	Start use: term type, term speed, X location, env.option
APE:     ff fb 18  ff fc 20  ff fc 23  ff fc 27                                                
	Will use term type. Won't use any of the others.
Ubuntu:  ff fa 18 01 ff f0
	Subnegotiate Term type, 1, end subnegotiation
APE:     ff fa 18 00 56 54 31 30 30 ff f0           
	Subnegotiate Term type, 0, "VT100", end subnegotiation
Ubuntu:  ff fb 03  ff fd 01  ff fd 1f  ff fb 05  ff fd 21
	Will use Supress GA, Start use Echo, 1f. Will use 05, Start use 21.
APE:     ff fd 03  ff fc 1f  ff fe 05  ff fc 21
	Start use Supress GA, Won't use 1f, Stop use 05, Won't use 21
Ubuntu:  ff fb 01                                         
	Will use Echo.
APE:     ff fd 01                                         
	Start use Echo.
Thank you!

Feature Request:

When a crash is detected, an option is supplied so that error information is sent to you Phaeron. This may include a copy of all the settings, the emulator version, the programs in memory / disks loaded etc. It would need permission to send you the information, and if the net is available from the machine running the emulator, it sends all the details to you.

 

You can then filter according to the latest version and then be able to categorise the issues.

Is there an Atari section in that website, couldn't find atari in the category lists.
