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 68000 assembler dialog now marks text pre-loaded from the clipboard.
– In order to simplify thread-safety analysis, certain debugging commands are now
performed exclusively by the VM thread. The difference should not be noticeable;
– I only mention it in case some unanticipated consequence manifests itself.
– The dialog interface for the 68000 assembler (a feature of disassembly windows)
was tweaked to make it easier to use. Notably, erroneous input is now retained
for at least one cycle, enabling it to be corrected without re-entering it.
If the same erroneous input is resubmitted, the dialog will be aborted.
– Different mouse linearization algorithms are now used for specific games.
– Loading state while the VM power is off is no longer prohibited.
– The VM is now paused on single-processor systems while extracting files
from large archives, which can be very CPU-intensive.
Bug fixes:
– Mouse Mode was sometimes not being restored after closing dialogs.
– Fixed many more defects/inconsistencies related to the power switch being off.
– Debugging commands utilizing F10 could cause menus to activate unexpectedly.
– Eliminated a pattern of race conditions related to thread termination.
It never actually caused any problems as far as I know, however.
