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

suck a lot of CPU power, even when

|

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.

Whew. Ultima IV is the ultimate

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 @$$

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.

inline Assembly to Implements it.
