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:
– Added a feature to redirect RS-232C MIDI (RS-MIDI) to a local MIDI device.
Both standard (« board ») MIDI and serial MIDI can be used simultaneously,
which is needed to fully support a particular game. The manual now contains
an entire section on configuring MIDI, including RS-MIDI, but the new page
in the options dialog should be intuitive and mostly self-explanatory.
– Decluttered the primary options dialog and added additional menu items that
open dialogs with categorized settings pages, including one with all pages.
If opening a submenu is too strenuous, one could also hold Shift while
selecting the original Options menu item to see all the option pages.
– Rewrote much of the English help text displayed in the options dialog.
– All changes made on the Sound page in the options now take effect immediately.
– Hit OK to save the changes or Cancel to undo them.
– The key names (as shown in the software keyboard window) are now easier to read.
– Added a non-persistent setting to load state files with emulation halted.
– It is now possible to copy the contents of bitmap subwindows to the clipboard.
Bug fixes:
– Fixed a number of problems related to resizing bitmap subwindows.
– Fixed numerous user-interface issues in the options dialog (some my fault).
– Fixed a race condition on the MIDI options tab in certain situations (my fault).
