Altirra 1. 3 released - virtualdub. I've released a new version of Altirra, my Atari 8- bit computer emulator. Version 1. 3 contains a large number of compatibility fixes and runs a number of titles that previously blew up under 1. I'd like to thank Mclane and breaker for an astounding amount of compatibility testing in a comment thread of epic proportions, which tracked down many, many games and programs that did not run correctly and helped immensely in identifying and ironing out bugs. One of the weirder aspects of doing work on this project is that it's probably the closest I've come to doing Test Driven Development. TDD is not something I'm generally sold on because I think there are lots of types of modules for which tests are not the appropriate way to ground development. In this case, though, I need to conform to a behavior that is (a) rigidly defined and testable and (b) frequently unknown. What I often end up doing is writing a unit test to determine the behavior on a real 8. XL, and then tweaking the emulation code until the test passes. I have to do things this way because the emulation code is now operating at a level where it's very easy to break some programs while trying to fix others since some programs are sensitive to single- cycle timing deviations. Another thing that's becoming abundantly clear is how difficult it would have been for Atari to create a more powerful machine with a high level of backwards compatibility. I've been finding an increasing number of programs that happen to work but have extremely tight timing margins or simply have outright bugs. I've seen programs that: Used uninitialized memory. Blew up if VCOUNT incremented one cycle off from when it was supposed to. 1.E9 Prerelease 2; 1.E9 Prerelease 1; 1.E9 RC2; 1.E9 Beta 3; 1.E9 Beta 2; 1.E9 RC1; 1.D9c.

Crashed with disk acceleration enabled because they didn't wait for a new display list to take effect and died when ANTIC started firing random interrupts. Enabled interrupts and switched memory banks in the wrong order and relied on a two- cycle interrupt delay in the hardware. Used a portion of kernel ROM as an encryption key. So, if you're wondering why your powerful next- gen console can't reliably run your last- gen games, now you have some idea why. When you have stable and consistent hardware, it's easier for people to unintentially write code that relies on unspecified behavior to an extreme level. Oh, and I'll say it again: cassette tape is vile. I hated it growing up and I hate it even more now that I'm trying to emulate it. You should offer thanks every night that you no longer have to wait minutes for a program to load off of tape. Anyway, here's the list of changes since version 1. Version 1. 3 . Unfortunately, he didn't document it with a blog, he started on a single thread on the ZSNES emulator forum and the thread eventually reached well over 1. We The Kings – We The Kings (2007). Check Yes Juliet ( 3:40) 04. Aliens, extraterrestrials. 7000 serial numbers and cracks from P2P sharing for software applications by lynx55 in Technology, software, and P2P. Yes, its a known problem. Oh well, maybe I'll get more testing. Graffiti Forums > Graffiti Forums > General Discussion > Country Crunk Milk Shakes - Underground HIPHOP. Version : Country Crunk Milk Shakes - Underground HIPHOP(daily updates). Similarly, the DS contains both an ARM9 and an ARM7. Torkell (link) - 0. Yeah, I've heard of bsnes. Actually, the ZSNES guys had already encountered some of the same issues - - the scariest story that I heard was a game which relied on the middle address byte of a bogus jump being held on the floating multiplexed address/data bus and just happening to push an RTS back into the CPU. That's the kind of thing that's a nightmare, not because it's complex in theory, but because it's hard to fit in without really compromising speed. As for Nintendo's tack, yes, that sort of works, but it's expensive.. I'm having more fun recently playing old games than new ones. I have been using a different Atari emulator, but the controls to fake a joystick with keyboard on it are poorly laid out and I don't know how to change them. Your control layout is much better. However! I was using version 1. I must have done something because now the screen will not display at all, except occasionally in debug mode. I can't figure out how to fix it. I found some settings your programme used in the registery and I'm considering deleting them in hope it will reset everything. But I'm not a computer expert and messing with registry settings always worries me.- OOPSIE- - 0. This is coming on nicely! Great work. Just wondering about the Basic, Option key changes. From what I can gather the Option key is always automatically on now when starting a disk or cart? Unless I'm misunderstanding something, this isn't a great idea for Atari. Max carts, as holding the option key is to boot the flash programming disk image and flash the cart rather than just running the cart. If the BASIC option is not checked, then Altirra will hold the OPTION line low until five vertical blank interrupts have passed. This is the only safe way to disable BASIC, because there are games that depend on you booting them with BASIC enabled and then purposely enable and use the BASIC ROM via the PORTB register. If the BASIC option is checked, then the Option key is not pressed. As for Atari. Max carts, that's an unfortunate mechanism, but I don't believe it will be a problem for two reasons. One, this is an emulator, so you can't flash anything. Two, you'd have to have the Atari. Max flasher program in order to get into this situation. I don't believe this is included when you mount an Atari. Max compatible cartridge image, so you're not actually running that code. Worst case, you just enable the BASIC option. Phaeron - 1. 0 0. I can see your logic, but 1. MB Atari. Max carts still don't work with Basic enabled in Altirra either. They just hang rather than not boot : -(. Initial thought is they must be checking PORTB somewhere to see if Basic is enabled as well as the Option key (although I couldn't see that on a quick look through). Maybe it's just me, but no 1. MB Atari. Max carts seem to work on Altirra! I can post you some cart bins if you'd like. The cart boot code is generated by the Atari. Max utility software scripts so most of them are going to have the same problem I guess. Should have added that they are working OK in Altirra 1. Basic enabledsheddy - 1. Phaeron, thanks for 1. But, I have found out one annoying error. I have deleted the duplicate comment in the other thread. As for 1. 4 pre- 2, you weren't supposed to grab that. The near- hang exiting full- screen mode was caused by some window handling changes I put in to try to resolve the full screen windowing problems. This version should have better behavior: http: //www. Altirra- 1. http: //www. Altirra- 1. Tested on XP SP3 and Windows 7 RC. It also has switches for forcing GDI (/gdi) or Direct. Draw (/ddraw) display mode. Couldn't reproduce the joystick issues that someone reported, though. Phaeron - 1. 3 0. Forgive, I simply did not know where to leave the message, in other branch of messages it is a lot of. And what has changed with cartridges? I have checked up these 1. Air Wolf. The problem with those cartridge images is that they have no header, and therefore Altirra cannot determine the correct mapper to use. Phaeron - 1. 3 0. This version has a fix: http: //www. Altirra- 1. http: //www. Altirra- 1. Phaeron - 1. Phaeron, thanks, and especially thanks for drag n drop, but I waited for another. Loved the drag and drop, thank you. Wh. Dunno if it's a bug but the Hardware and Firmware sometimes mix and match when swapping, ie you get 8. Hardware but the firmware is on 6. XL, I thought they would be swapped in tandem? Mclane - 1. 5 0. Someone tell me if I am stupid but how do you alter memory under Altirra, I've found a bad instruction and I just wanted to nop it as a test. But looking at the debug stuff I can look at mem but not adjust? Am I totally missing something or just daft : )Mclane - 1. I managed to get Bounty Bob working by deleating the altirra registry settings. Just found this emu and am quite impressed! I hope you continue to update this in the future - - it's so good! I'm using a 3. 60 controller, and I can only use the directional pad (digital) when playing games in Altirram as opposed to the left analog stick. After using analog for years, it's a bit hard to go back to a flat pad. Thanks for your efforts! I only blocked the XL/XE firmware + 8. I might combine the hardware and firmware options at some point but I haven't gotten around to doing it. To alter memory in Altirra, you need to use the e command, i. You can't currently modify memory via the memory pane, since it's currently based on a text edit box instead of a custom widget. I'll check the demo. Sorry, not going to use a config file (already gone over this argument with Virtual. Dub and I'm not changing Altirra for the same reasons). Besides, if it's because of stale settings, the exact same thing would happen with a config file, as long as both are being treated as property sets. I can't think of what might have changed that would cause this, though. The only thing I can think of is that older versions of Altirra defaulted to the low- level emulation (LLE) kernel, and current versions default to the high- level emulation (HLE) kernel instead. I could believe the LLE kernel not being able to run Bounty Bob, as I haven't backported many of the compatibility fixes I did in the HLE kernel. JCat: Might be able to stick this in (pun unintended). Phaeron - 1. 6 0. Re Bounty Bob, I found several rips that worked fine under XL etc but I tend to not use the HLE and I don't know how far it mirrors a real OS as yet, obviously I'd love to use the HLE 1. Think I found out why the messages went missing.. I caught myself posting without a a name to the post yesterday, I suspect the messages appear to get thru but are not valid so get removed. Mclane - 1. 6 0. Oops, meant to ask, sometimes you get spurious data normally on the right hand extreme border of the screen but it can happen on both sides. Normally it's on interlaced images (not looked in full screen)but programs like Ballblazer also suffer on both sides. It's like the use of the borders has a bug but many others use the borders fine. I've also noticed mostly on demo's where a display list colour bar that again hits the right hand border suffers from a couple of 1 or two pixel drop compare to the whole bar. Mclane - 1. 6 0.
