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:
-The default MIDI output delay is now 20 ms. That was formerly the minimum value;
you can now go even lower, but it may increase jitter slightly and will decrease
performance a little bit, particularly for single-core systems.
– As a compatibility kludge for a buggy MIDI driver, more safeguards were removed.
– The parity-circuit option is now off by default because it is only used for
SxSI support, which is an expert-level feature. Consequently, the SxSI drive
configuration page is disabled by default. This actually increases usability.
– If the X68000 attempts to set the baud rate to the MIDI standard of 31250,
and it is unsupported, the COM handler now falls back to 38400 automatically.
– The Menu-Based File System Browser can now rename files (hold F2).
– Turning off the status bar now produces a small performance boost.
– Added a « quick » breakpoint dialog. It preloads the address from the clipboard
(or the previous entry), and it also does not require emulation to be halted.
– Breakpoints can now be manipulated while the power is off.
Bug fixes:
– The MIDI output module had a serious timing flaw.
– COM port conflicts between RS-232C and TrueKey are now handled better.
– If the right mouse button was depressed at the moment when emulation halted
(e.g. due to a breakpoint triggering), context menus could open unexpectedly.
– Small audio buffers were not working well.
