Wilheim Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Is it too much to ask to add fsk mark writing in a8cas format? that will be useful to restore an old copier I have in my country. Thanks in advance! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8bit-Dude Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Version 2.90 of my emulator Altirra is now officially released: And, now, time to start the next set of test releases: http://www.virtualdub.org/beta/Altirra-2.99-test1.zip http://www.virtualdub.org/beta/Altirra-2.99-test1-src.zip Hey Phaeron, Thanks so much for your continued development of Altirra, amazing work! I am using Altirra to develop an online game, and ran over a strange issue while using IP65. Most demos (including GETURL) work perfectly fine. But the PING example (see attached xex) returns an error code 82 in Altirra (2.8.1 and 2.9.0) I tested on my actual 130XE with DragonCart, and the program runs just fine. Could you kindly investigate the root cause of this problem? Thanks in advance! ping.xex geturl.xex ping.s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) Edit: Ignore (original post queried what OS roms were being used but a check showed it was not that)...I also see an error 82... Networking not really my thing so no idea why.. Edited October 13, 2017 by Mclaneinc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altirra's NAT does not support ICMP. You'll need to use tunneling to a gateway supporting the VXLAN protocol to use pings from within the emulation.

By the way, WinVICE support ICMP, it is very helpful for networked games (to know the latency). I am developping a cross-platform (C64/A8/AppleII) top-down racing game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am developping a cross-platform (C64/A8/AppleII) top-down racing game. Yes, it uses Winpcap. I've avoided using this driver because it has multiple problems: poor security (all programs can use it once it has loaded), licensing issues, and it is detected as potentially unwanted software by some antiviruses. At the time, there was also a problem with SoftEther VPN installing a Winpcap lookalike driver that has the packet sending API subtly broken. There is a new driver called Npcap that shows some promise but I haven't tried it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phaeron Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 http://www.virtualdub.org/beta/Altirra-2.99-test13.zip http://www.virtualdub.org/beta/Altirra-2.99-test13-src.zip Improved handling of truncated serial output bytes. This improves the load speed of some versions of Rescue on Fractalus to be more accurate -- the loader of this game has a bug where it turns off serial output too early, causing broken command frame checksums and command retries on real hardware. However, in emulation the next command frame was also getting mangled, which caused the load speed to be even lower. Tape sample jittering is now disabled when turbo modes are enabled. The timing for turbo reads is too tight for this, particularly with Turbo 6000. Fixed compile errors in VS2017 15.5 Preview 1 due to new warnings. (Still using 15.3.1 for now.) Also, some additional work on the performance analyzer: Traces now include the PIA control bytes and tape data for debugging tape loads. Compression has also been added to the video channel and improved on the CPU history channel to decrease the data rate. Standard 1.8MHz 6502 traces now take about 3-4MB/sec and video traces ~1MB/sec, the latter of which can be reduced further by dropping the frame rate to 25/30 or 17/20Hz in the trace settings. Finally, the tracer now automatically stops the trace by default when the buffered data reaches 500MB in a 32-bit build or 4GB in a 64-bit build to prevent running out of memory. This is generally good for at least a couple of minutes of tracing. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I wish you'd reconsider adding 16MB as a 65816 option. Yes, nothing uses it now, but if it's not there nobody will consider what they could do if it was there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I might be wrong but I think Avery works on the notion about echoing hardware that actually exists where possible rather than 'what ifs'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baktra Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I have released Turgen System 8.6.9. It fixes all bugs and discrepancies related to Turbo 6000 (including the ChainLoader fix) and Rambit Turbo Tape (RTT) found in this thread (and more). Download from this folder: https://sourceforge.net/projects/turgen/files/turgen_system/turgen_system_8.6.9/ Full list of enhancements: https://sourceforge.net/p/turgen/blog/2017/10/turgen-system-869---mostly-maintenance/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yautja Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Hi everyone, Sorry for the noob question, but I cannot catch how to save states in Altirra. There is a "quick" option for it; but there I cannot find the file to load -as I can in Atari800WinPLus. - Y - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 What version are you using Yautja? I'd recommend the very latest version (2.99 beta 13) from this page of this thread as Avery's beta are usually feature packed and VERY stable, from there in the file menu there's a save state and load state set of options... There's also a memory dump type command in the debugger but the load and save state should be more than enough for 99% of uses, the usual warnings about loading a state in to a differing setup than it was saved from applies..

laoo Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I might be wrong but I think Avery works on the notion about echoing hardware that actually exists where possible rather than 'what ifs'. Rapidus is hardware that exists and it has 15 MB (240 banks) of linear memory. Even more - it has registers controlling the mapping of atari memory into the bank 0 of 65c816 address space. Emulating this would be handy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I based what I said on the quote that it wasn't used, if it can be and it has a use then Avery will have seen this via your post and then whatever happens, happens..He's the boss...

+CharlieChaplin Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Hmmm, just some strange thing I have noticed: When I run Altirra 2.90 under WIN XP SP3 it runs fine. After a while I exit Altirra (via option EXIT or via the "x" button) and do something else on the PC. When I want to execute Altirra again after some time (e.g. 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, etc. after the exit) the PC powers down and reboots. (Running Altirra after this reboot again, it then works fine, but when I exit - same as before, as soon as I execute Altirra again, the PC powers down and reboots). Strange, since I do NOT try to run two versions/instances of Altirra at the same time, as said before I exit the program, but when executing it again minutes or hours later the PC powers down and reboots. Noticed this effect with Altirra 2.50, 2.60 and the newer version 2.90 (have not tested 2.70 and 2.80)... - is this WIN XP related ? (It happens with my single core 1.5Ghz AMD PC and also with my dual-core 3.1Ghz AMD PC.) In other words, when I have booted windows, I can execute Altirra only once. Even when I exit Altirra I cannot run it again - unless I want to do a complete reboot of the system. Run Altirra again - means boot Windows again for me...?!? So Altirra acts as a reboot switch on my PC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Unless someone can replicate this exact fail mode, I'm going to call hardware issue or Windows OS issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I have never seen this happen with Altirra on any of my computers. They're all XP SP3, and work fine no matter how often I open and close Altirra. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
