tschak909 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Hello, everyone. It's been a very long road, and there were some serious bumps along the way, seven major rewrites to deal with performance and reliability issues, and trying to make something that is as clean of a GEM application as I can make it. To this end, I have released a beta version for testing, so that I can get much needed feedback. This is especially important as I have been developing this entirely in emulation, with Hatari. You can get a copy here, with documentation: https://github.com/tschak909/platotermst/releases/tag/PLATOTERM-ST-0.5 Minimum Requirements: ----------------------------------- * 520ST, with TOS 1.0 * Wifi Modem, and appropriate RS-232-C cabling. Yes, STiNG support will come at some point, I am wrestling with getting it to work with my cross-development environment. It has been tested under the following environments --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * TOS 1.0 * TOS 1.02 * TOS 1.4 * TOS 2.06 * TOS 3.06 * EMUTOS * Geneva * MagiC 5 * NVDI 5 Known issues: --------------------- * Program startup fails under MiNT (no crash, but it exits before window is opened) * Starts, but does not work on Falcon because I need to select the correct serial port. (any help appreciated) * screen drawing stops when not top window. It does decode the data, so when window is topped, it will resume. Need to write code path to handle. * Paint redraws don't execute if the paint coordinate in terminal buffer is outside the damaged rect. Trying different solutions for this. * occasional inconsistent protocol state after screen clear causes small glitches in redraw. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
