Dave Schmenk got his Apple ][+ 23 years ago. Bill Budge's 3D package hooked me on 3D graphics which led to a nice <a href="http://www.nvidia.com">start-up company</a> 10 years ago. I met Bill a couple of years ago. Nicest, most modest guy you would ever meet.

Cleaned up the sound a little. Along with a slight change in
|
|
the refresh rate implementation, it sounds reasonable (for a
|
|
PalmPilot, anyway). The refresh rate increase/decrease inversely
|
|
affects interactivity. Your emulated apps may run a little slower
|
|
but grafitti will be recognized better. Especially useful for you
|
|
OS5 people. If you have a fast OS3/OS4 device, then you can speed up
|
|
your apps by decreasing refresh rate. Interactivity shouldn't suffer
|
|
for modest refresh rate decrements.

It is now official - Appalm ][ is out of
|
|
code space. The straw that broke the camel's
|
|
back was JogDial support. It is pretty cool, though.
|
|
The JogDial emulates Paddle 0. Press the JogDial for
|
|
button press. If you have a back button, that will
|
|
toggle between Paddle 0 and Paddle 1. I know it is
|
|
bad form to make the back button do something non-standard,
|
|
but it is too easy to press by accident and
|
|
drop you back in the launcher just as you were about to
|
|
annihilate that last alien. Works great with games like
|
|
Space Invaders, Galaxians, Sneakers and even Little Brick Out :-)

Much improved quality. When

PRC files that make your external

|

performance degradation with it
|

resident. The folding keyboard and

the game controller suck up about
|
|
10% each. Amazing. What the heck

are they doing? Remove those files

if performance is important.

pain when it comes to language card

1 and bank 2 for every image byte

well enough to play. Apple Pascal

now boots too :-) And all because

Hilary wanted to play Ultima IV. I

also added a little tweak here and

there to make interactivity a

little better. Karateka kicks @$$

After Fixing a few bugs, Currently,
|
|
Palm IIIc with 37Mhz (Overclock
|
|
with AfterBurner) can boot First
|
|
ProDos Splash Screen about 35
|
|
seconds. It is GREAT!. It is much
|
|
FASTER than Previous Version.
|
|
Previous version needs about 2
|
|
minutes to boot!

One of the emulator bug make things
|
|
happen very differently. ProDos can
|
|
boot in the Sony Clie ROM but
|
|
cannot boot in PalmIIIc ROM. It is
|
|
strange! So every assembly code you
|
|
have written should be checked very
|
|
carefully.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Currenly, I need to implement
|
|
Enhanced IIe Feature to expand more
|
|
64K memory. Since ProDos needs
|
|
Enhanced IIe Features.

A Lot of Bug Fix in the 6502
|
|
Emulation Core. We should be very
|
|
careful when writing assembly
|
|
language. since the compiler can't
|
|
help you to check much of your
|
|
code.

We can use it by C Pointer. Use
|
|
MemSemaphoreReserve() to enable
|
|
direct access the heap storage. :p
|
|
But it is very dangerous. It can
|
|
overwrite everything in the Palm.

I have found FtrPtrNew to Create a

|
64K Memory Block. But it is not
|
|
accessible by using C Pointer. We
|
|
need to use DmWrite to access it.

stuff of PalmApple That is using

inline Assembly to Implements it.

Also, DragonBall is M68000 Based
