AppleWin v1.29.2.0

September 12th, 2019, 22:54 Posted By: wraggster

AppleWin v1.29.2.0 is released. AppleWin (also known as Apple //e Emulator for Windows) is an open source software emulator for running Apple II programs in Microsoft Windows. AppleWin has support for most programs that could run either on the Apple II+ or the Apple IIe. By default, AppleWin emulates the Extended Keyboard IIe (better known as the Platinum IIe) with built-in 80-column text support, 128 kilobytes of RAM, two 5.25-inch floppy disk drives, a joystick, a serial card and 65C02 CPU. AppleWin supports lo-res, hi-res, and double hi-res graphics modes and can emulate both color and monochrome Apple II monitors; later versions of AppleWin also can emulate a television set used as a monitor. Both 40-column and 80-column text is supported.

AppleWin can emulate the Apple II joystick (using the PC's default controller), paddle controllers (using the computer mouse), and can also emulate the Apple II joystick using the PC keyboard. AppleWin can also use the PC speaker to emulate the Apple II's sound if no sound card is available (does not work under NT-based Windows versions). Full screen mode is available through the use of DirectX. Features added to the latest versions of AppleWin include Ethernet support using Uthernet, Mockingboard and Phasor sound card support, SSI263 speech synthesis, hard drive disk images and save states.

AppleWin v1.29.2.0 Changelog:
[Change #678] Hotkeys to change emulation speed:
Ctrl-0 Toggles between custom speed and Full-Speed
Ctrl-1 Sets 1 MHz
Ctrl-3 Sets Full-Speed
[Change #671] Register .woz extension with AppleWin. Updated AppleWin.chm & DELREG.INF.
[Bug #685] Fixed support for French Touch's "CHIP" demo (Mockingboard / multi-TIMER interrupt support).
[Bug #677] Loading a save-state wasn't restoring the pending IRQ.
[Bug #672] For WOZ images: all even disk I/O read accesses will now read the data latch.
[Bug #650] NTSC TV (Color and B&W): image was half an Apple II scanline vertically shifted down.
[PR #674] Prevent uninitialized value bugs and improve string safety.

z26 v4.07

September 3rd, 2019, 20:42 Posted By: wraggster

z26 v4.07 is released. z26 is an Atari 2600 emulator. z26 is Copyright ©1997-2011 by John Saeger and contributors. z26 is released subject to the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public License Version 2 (GPL). z26 comes with no warranty.

z26 v4.07 Changelog:
Wide dynamic range, tunable palettes for NTSC and PAL video. We are now emulating the color tuning controls that are found inside the Atari 2600. So just like owners of real hardware can experiment with different color tunings, users of z26 can also experiment with different color tunings. By default we set the NTSC phase shift to 26.2 degrees and the PAL phase shift to 21.5 degrees which are good matches to the original z26 palettes.
Brightness and “warmth” controls. The warmth control allows better matching to vintage CRT TV sets from the 1980s which had a little more red and maybe a little less blue than “modern” CRT TV sets from the 1990s or early 2000s.
The original z26 palettes have been retained as custom options, and since our tunable color model was inspired by mame 0.212, we also include the mame palettes as custom options.
The palette selection and these new options may be found in the video menu.

Tuned Heart [PC-98] - English Translation released!

September 3rd, 2019, 20:22 Posted By: wraggster

Hello again! This time around Nebulous Translations came up with Tuned Heart, a game with a title that’s suspiciously similar to Steam Heart’s (though there’s probably no relation there whatsoever). It’s a PC-98 SRPG with a rather unique premise for the time - an all-female squad battling crime. It’s a fun romp with tuning, leveling up and VN segments. It was an enjoyable project to work on, so hopefully the players will enjoy it too.
