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:
– Fast Forward (tilde key) and No-Wait MPU (Shift-Tilde) are now permitted while
in high-priority mode if a suitable number of logical processors are available.
– The caption bar (title bar) now shows additional strings. While running,
« [Debugging] » alerts the user that certain debugging features are active,
possibly degrading performance, and, in the case of non-memory breakpoints,
potentially reducing emulation accuracy. « [Mid-Frame] » indicates that the
VM paused in the midst of frame rendering, implying that the screen being
displayed may be inaccurate, potentially combining parts of the previous
and current frame. This won’t normally happen outside of debugging.
Bug fixes:
– One of the changes documented in the previous release was omitted.
– Screen shots taken with the VM unpaused were often inaccurate.
– Changing certain view settings while paused did not also re-render the screen.
– Eliminated a potential buffer overrun.
– Eliminated several race conditions, some of which were my fault.
– Eliminated a double reset in the power-on case.
– Removed redundant redraws / refreshes.
– Fixed some minor bugs related to special debugging commands I added long ago.
« Painting » the main window had some inconsistencies.
– Menu detritus was sometimes lingering.
– The level meter wasn’t behaving consistently when fast-forwarding.
