intvnut Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) OK, I've made a raft of improvements since last week's release. All this is now available in the 2018-01-08 release. NEW: Add _EXPMAC keyword, to force macros to expand in both the taken and not-taken branches of an IF. This is needed for IF-statements inside a RPT block, whose taken/not-taken behavior varies across loop iterations. NEW: Increase resolution of release_date to include hours, minutes, seconds, and timezone. NEW: Add build_date and version CFGVARs. build_date takes the same format as release_date. version is an arbitrary format string. Both tags can appear an arbitrary number of times. NEW: Add %z specifier to TODAY_xxx. Reports timezone as +HHMM in TODAY_STR_xxx. Reports timezone as minutes relative to UTC in TODAY_VAL_xxx. NEW: Add _ROTL16, _ROTL32, _ROTR16, _ROTR32 operators.Same precedence as SHL, SHR, SHRU. Internal: Increase IF-ELSE-ENDI stack depth from 32 to 256. Internal: Additional infrastructure for normalizing metadata between different object file types. BUGFIX: Add missing __FEATURE.TODAY for the TODAY_xxx feature. This was supposed to be in the last release, but a fatfingered edit fail deleted it. BUGFIX: Fix some nested RPT cases. Multiple RPTs inside a nested RPT now work. RPT guarded by an IF also now works. BUGFIX: Fix some metadata tag behavior when loading ROMs w/ tags. Misc: Start marking stuff 2018. Misc: Update documentation for new features.

intvnut Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) I've just uploaded a minor bugfix release, 2018-01-14. Bugfix release: Cleaned up many display glitches around display enable/disable. Fixed "BACKTAB is one frame delayed" display issue. Correctly parse variables in CFG file when there's no whitespace between variable and '='. Don't add metadata to ROM twice in bin2rom. Add missing "description" tag description to doc/utilities/as1600.txt Grab it now at http://spatula-city.org/~im14u2c/intv/ Edited January 15, 2018 by intvnut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BACKTAB/display-enable synchronicity seems to be fixed. However, hitting F-11 crashes the emulation. I'll test some more. -dZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intvnut Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 Oof, I had missed some of the places "gfx_tick" was called, out in the main emulator loop. This only kicked in when resetting the Intellivision. I just posted a fix for that as jzintv-20180115 on the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
