Euphoric's latest build

Post by Euphoric »

Build 1007 fixes the bug that made Euphoric crash under DOS when accessing the environment screen (F1).

It's available on http://oric.free.fr

I hope you will like it,

Thanks so much Fabrice.
Works just fine on both my XP and 98 machines.

Hello Maximus, your tutorial seems fine, I like the book cover "Euphoric for the dummies" :-)

(just a small typo: the javascript file for the setup is setup.js not .jz)

Cheers,

Fabrice

Doesn't it work ? did they completely remove the dos box in Vice-ta ? ;)
Another option would be to build Caloric with mingw or cygwin, as it uses SDL now.
It just lacks some fixes from the latest versions of Euphoric.

I could try a port to Delphi :wink:

I don't know with Vista, as I use XP, but as it also hangs from time to time :cry: I installed VirtualPC, which I think is free from Micro$oft, and installed DOS over it.

Euphoric runs fine with that configuration. Also you can use DOSBox which is free but a bit slow or VMWare.

However, to be frank, I normally run Euphoric directly over XP... it is easier and faster, even if there is no windowed mode (except the debugger).

I look forward any Windows built version of Caloric, which seems to be the next generation emulator (great work!). I could try myself, but lack the time and knowledge (never used cygwin or anything like that).

Which are the "limitations" in Caloric? I hope it does have disk support to run Space 1999 :)

None that I know, it is just a fork or XEuphoric, which itself is a fork of Euphoric, so the emulator core is quite the same. It only lacks some fixes that were made to the latest euphoric.

Just realised Euphoric 1.011 has been released in September 2010.
Lots of news things around the Pravetz world.

Build 1011 changes
------------------
- now emulates the PSG IO-port direction bit. This is not useful (it prevents the keyboard to work), but it removes a difference between the emulator and the real thing.
- also emulates the propagation of ground voltage through the keyboard matrix intersections when several keys are pressed simultaneously. Again it's not really useful (it will even make wrong key detection in some conditions), but at least it behaves like the real thing.
- Euphoric was so strongly emulating the crash of a 6502 executing a column 2 opcode, that it was stucked in a tight loop... Now the reset key allows to regain control...


Build 1010 changes
------------------
- added a specific option for the Pravetz (-p). Also, euphoric.ini has a specific Pravetz rom line:
"PravetzRom=...", and "Computer=Pravetz" can be used. Last but not least, windows shortcuts for Pravetz
with and without disk interface are provided.
- added emulation of Borislav Zahariev's Overlay Ram Access add-on. This add-on enables access to the 16 KB of ram, as does the Microdisc controller. Borislav (aka. Bobby) has also tied this interface to his Apple DiskII Interface, allowing Bobby RDOS 2.10 to be loaded in the overlay ram, thus freeing the 48 KB of the Pravetz 8D.
- updated the Configuratoric tool to select a rom for the pravetz and to use the Overlay Ram Access add-on. Also, two Pravetz shortcuts have been added to the Euphoric menu, and double-clicking .nib disks automatically starts a Pravetz with a DiskII interface. Thanks to Georges and the great Pravetz-8D fans for all the information on this computer, and the nice icons.

Ok, I checked the IRQ/timings accuracy in version 1011, and they are still incorrect.

The two main problems are still the same:
- Incorrect number of cycles read from the VIA timer registers
- Wobbling clock cycles counting even when interrupts are disabled

Well, it seems Chema and Dbug's tests gave new ideas to Fabrice :)
New Euphoric upgrade, build 1013:

Code: Select all

Build 1013 changes
------------------
- thanks to Dbug who spotted a bug when timers reach zero (a fraction of last instruction's cycles were not counted). This should now be fixed. There's also a simple fix of the duration of the initial countdown of VIA timers.


Build 1012 changes
------------------
- thanks to Chema's latest game, we discovered a hardware bug of the real Telestrat's specific ULAs (HCS3119 and HCS3120) that affects the FDC access.
This hardware bug is now emulated in Euphoric.
