- 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.
Supported modes selected via toggling AN3 and clocking in 80COL:
- 140 color mode (Apple calls this mode 2, Video7 calls this mode 0).
- mixed mode (Apple calls this mode 3, Video7 calls this mode 2).
- 560 mono mode (Apple calls this mode 1, Video7 calls this mode 3).
Save-state is also persists the extra state.
And there's a few corrections to APPLE2E.SYM for the 80STORE and 80COL I/O addresses.
Renamed this video mode to: "Color (RGB Monitor)"
Also renamed "Color (Monitor)" to "Color (NTSC Monitor)".
As for the colours: I've changed them from the original 1.25 colours. Instead I runtime-generate the colours from the NTSC code. See NTSC.cpp's GenerateBaseColors(). This shifts the same 4-bit pattern in, combining with NTSC color phase, until the colour stabilises. Then I average the next 4 RGB values to get the final colour. The reason for this is that we now have consistent colours between NTSC and this simplified rendering mode.
NB. The 2 greys (in GR,DGR,DHGR) are now the same RGB value.
Added new cmd-line switch: -videorom <file> to replace the video ROM for the Enhanced //e.
- Support video ROM sizes of 4K, 8K and 16K (top 8K only).
- NB. The rocker switch is set to European video ROM.
F10 (for //e or Enhanced //e models) emulates the PAL //e's rocker switch (under the keyboard) to toggle between European or US video ROM.
Other:
- Fixed debugger's view of the AltCharSet soft-switch (it was showing the opposite state).
So added a 2nd "Pure CPU MHz" for full-speed (ie. no video update), eg:

Benchmarks
---------------------------
Pure Video FPS: 2860 hires, 2868 text
Pure CPU MHz: 10.3 (video update)
Pure CPU MHz: 241.3 (full-speed)
EXPECTED AVERAGE VIDEO GAME
PERFORMANCE: 476 FPS
(ref: #424, #540)
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.
. .dsk / .nib images
. ProDOS format / DOS 3.3 init
. authentic / enhanced disk access speed
For zero-length files, resize to the complete file size when first opened (#506)
. Support both .dsk and .nib
Created a new class FormatTrack to encapsulate the new track formatting logic
Improved precision of 'authentic' drive mode's spin emulation (#125)
Save-state: (save-state DiskII unit v2)
. support Format Track state
. save DiskLastCycle
DenibblizeTrack(): added some debug asserts and comments
Updated for VS2008/VS2013/2015/2017 projs & remove dependency on ddraw.lib for VS2013/2015
Updated disk logging:
. Moved all LOG_DISK_xx macros to new DiskLog.h (since shared by Disk.cpp and DiskFormatTrack.cpp)
. For write nibble: option to log cycle count & sync byte count
. For written track: option to log gap1/2/3 and track size
. For disk latch r/w: option to log when D5AA96 detected
Other:
. Debugger: Fix CD cmd to support absolute paths (#505)
. Debug 'G(o)' cmd now defaults to normal speed (and precise video updates)
. New debug 'GG' cmd enables full speed (and periodic video updates)
. Single-stepping (normal or full speed) now routed through ContinueExecution()
. Removed Cpu6502()/Cpu65C02() check for debug breakpoints
. Removed the (undocumented) SHIFT+F7 feature to exit debugger for 'normal speed breakpoints'
. Removed the g_bDebugNormalSpeedBreakpoints variable
. Removed NTSC_VideoVbl(), since it's not accurate during full-speed. (Nothing was using it)
. Renamed VideoGetVbl() to VideoGetVblBar()
. Correctly pass Vbl (not VblBar) to Mouse's SetVBlank()
