. It's an Apple II plus clone.
. The 48K bank-switched Rom is controlled with AN0 and AN1.
. The character generation video Rom has two full character sets: English and German (F10 to switch).
NB. At the prompt, "TEST" runs the ROM self-test.
Support 2nd Disk][ in slot-5, via command line:
- -s5 diskii
- -s5d1 \<imagefile\>
- -s5d2 \<imagefile\>
NB. there's currently no Configuration UI support, except the Drive icons' tooltips show what's in slot-5 & slot-6 (for drive-n). So there's no way to eject the disks or insert new disks. The use-case I'm supporting it Wasteland which just has the 4 disks in the 4 drives.
Improved card management:
- Added `class Card` (in Card.h) which all other cards (that exist as classes) derive from (eg. LC,SSC,Mouse,Disk2).
- Added `class CardManager` (in CardManager.cpp\h) which now manages the 8 slots (and aux slot).
- Added `class Disk2CardManager` (in Disk2CardManager.cpp\h) which provides methods for operations that act on all Disk2 instances at the same time.
- Currently limited to just 1x SSC and 1x Mouse card (why would you need more?). This simplifies things, meaning there's no need to have dedicated SSCManager / MouseCardManager objects.
- Currently the 2nd Disk2 card can only be put into slot-5. This limitation is just due to the complexity of the Configuration UI. Having a more general drop-down per slot UI would remove this limitation.
This change does two things:
1. Updates the registry APIs to reduce the likelihood of uninitialized
variables.
The code wasn't always checking the return value of registry load operations.
In some cases, this led to uninitialized memory being used, and crashes could
result. For example, LoadConfiguration in Applewin.cpp was using an
uninitialized value for the computer type if no registry variable for the
"Apple 2 type" was set.
New registry reading methods and macros have also been introduced, allowing
default value fallbacks for the cases where a registry variable is not found.
This makes registry access simpler and safer when a default value is known in
advance.
The registry code's style has also been updated to conform with the rest of
the code base (tabs instead of spaces, naming conventions, etc.)
2. Introduces string safety improvements.
A number of code paths have been modified to use safe-string functions instead
of their unsafe counterparts (e.g., strcpy, sprintf). In the process, some
strings were converted from "char" to "TCHAR". This was done mostly for
consistency with the rest of the code-base.
- Added Configuration GUI to include checkbox for "50Hz"
- Implicitly use PAL or NTSC base 6502 clocks depending on video refresh rate
- Added new -50hz and -60hz command line switches
- Updated save-state for video refresh rate
1.28.8.0: Updated version & history.txt
Support the old AppleWin 1.25 vertical blending for hires:
- extended Config dialog to include 'Vertical Blend' checkbox
- Persist 'Video Styles' to Registry
- new cmd line options to select this style & also select 'RGB (Color Monitor)'
- code refactor to support enum VideoStyle_e (and replaced g_uHalfScanLines with a bit in g_eVideoStyles)
Bumped version to 1.28.2.0.
Changes to ease code compilation in GCC.
Disk_t and HDD contain a std::string and for this reason they need a proper constructor, ZeroMemory is not guaranteed to work.
