Cet émulateur est également le plus complet des outils de développements X68000 existant aujourd’hui. Il s’agit d’un fork de l’émulateur XM6 v2.05 de PI avec une pléthore de nouvelles fonctionnalités. Les changements sont pour la plupart liés à l’interface utilisateur et un accent a été mis sur le développement et les fonctions de débogage plutôt que sur l’exactitude de l’émulation, cependant il y a suffisamment d’améliorations pour qu’il soit recommandé d’utiliser cette version plutôt que XM6 v2.06 finale.
Les changements:
– Historically, XM6 has underclocked its CPU by 2-3% without any documented
explanation. The clock rates have been increased to match their nominal values.
This is only likely to improve compatibility, but if you suspect a regression,
you can compare it with the MBCS edition, which still has the underclocking.
– The only exception to the above is that the old underclocked value for the
17.4 MHz setting has been retained, because it was actually pretty close
to the (unconfirmed) actual speed of the XVI model (16.67 MHz).
– You can now redirect quick screen dumps to the clipboard by holding Shift.
– Memory windows now have a Copy submenu with numerous choices.
– Alt-N (formerly an alternate for Alt-F11) now hides/unhides processor windows.
It will still open the processor windows initially, but the only remaining
accelerator that can close them is Alt-F11. The distinction is slight.
– The RAM Insert command also loads/relocates executables (.X and .Z) now.
For relocatable executables, you may specify a full 32-bit address to be
used in the relocation process. Certain information is also logged.
– As an optimization, state file operations no longer request file modification
times from the file system because that feature was never actually used.
Bug fixes:
– The Wait Cursor was not being displayed (as is customary) during potentially
time-consuming operations done in conjunction with recently added features.
