AppleWin 1.12 history
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
This version of AppleWin is based directly on Oliver Schmidt's 1.10.4 source.
|
|
In an effort to distinguish any subsequent releases I make from the other
|
|
variants of AppleWin, my release numbering system shall be 1.12.xx.

Restrictions/bugs:
|
|
- SSI263 emulation is very basic: there is no attempt to emulate rate, inflection or filters.
|
|
- Win98: 'Alt Gr' (Right-Alt) emits a Control key-press before the Right-Alt, so key combinations
|
|
involving Closed-Apple (Right-Alt) will probably fail. Use Keypad's 'Del' instead.
|
|
- During Mockingboard playback, Speaker emulation isn't precise
|
|
- Speech emu is broken under WinXP (and Win98 too?)
|
|

|
- *** Major re-write of debugger by Michael Pohoreski ***

1.12.3 - 04 Jan 2004
|
|
--------------------
|
|
Changes:
|
|
- Added Thomas Stahl's TV emulation mode: "Color (TV emulation)".
|
|
Tested with Karateka, Mindshadow.
|
|
"As you probably know, many of the higher sophisticated Apple ][+
|
|
games made use of the blurr-effekt that color TV-monitors had on
|
|
patterns consisting of horizontal color stripes. Using this effect it
|
|
was possible to produce *solid* mix colors like grey, purple, pink,
|
|
yellow and aquamarine even in the 2+ *hi-res mode*."
|
|
- Included Thomas Stahl's adjusted hires colors:
|
|
He "adjusted the hires colors for a more realistic look -
|
|
at least in comparison with an Apple PAL-System."
|
|
- Changed wording in Config dialog: from "Color (optimized)" to "Color (text optimized)".
|
|
- Fixed Config dialog (speed settings were misplaced in 1.12.2).
|
|
- Fixed Joystick 2 for Mario Bros: Now when in dual-joystick mode, 2nd joystick
|
|
button controls both switches #1 & #2 as one.
|
|
- Fixed Mockingboard IRQ frequency problem (Ultima 4 & 5 tunes now play at correct rate).
|
|
- Added Applewin.chm to release zip. (NB. This hasn't changed from 1.10.4)
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.12.2 - 05 Jul 2003
|
|
--------------------
|
|
Changes:
|
|
- Added support for 2nd joystick.
|
|
If the 2nd Apple joystick is enabled, then the buttons are re-configured:
|
|
- Joystick 1 controls only button #0 (ie. not button #1 too)
|
|
- Joystick 2 controls only button #1 (ie. not button #2)
|
|
This is so that player 1 can't affect player 2's controls.
|
|
So there is no way to control button #2 via a joystick. I don't think this will be a problem.
|
|
Of course Left Alt, Right Alt and Shift still activate the 3 buttons.
|
|
NB. Disable 2nd joystick if playing a 1 player game that requires the use of buttons 0 and 1.
|
|
Tested with Archon I, Archon II and One-on-one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.12.1 - 24 Nov 2002
|
|
--------------------
|
|
Changes:
|
|
- Changed tone waveform from orthodox square-wave to a more logarithm shape,
|
|
based on real MB waveform analysis. This is by no means perfect, but in my
|
|
opinion gives the tones more musical quality.
|
|
- Added MB enable/disable switch to Configuration dialog.
|
|
- Added simple logging support. If AppleWin is started from the command line
|
|
(DOS box) with the '-l' switch, then a text log file, AppleWin.log, will be
|
|
generated. This can hopefully be used to diagnose problems some users are having.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.12.00 - 17 Nov 2002
|
|
---------------------
|
|

|
|

|
