AEP Emulation Page reports that Hoxs64, the Commodore 64 (as well as other hardwares) emulator for Microsoft Windows, has been updated to version 1.0.4.1. Just before this version was released, 1.0.4.0 was released (earlier today), so below are both change logs.

- Disk file support is expanded to include Vincent Joguin´s FDI (Flexible Disk Image) and G64 (Raw GCR Binary). G64 files can be loaded but not saved. FDI files can be both loaded and saved. FDI support is limited to the Raw Pulse Stream Tracks format.

- Non standard track layout D64 files are loaded more correctly but will save only as FDI. Standard track layout D64 files will save as normal.

- The 1541 emulation is enhanced to support bitwise resolution of disk tracks. Magnetic disk pulses are specified to a resolution of 16Mhz. No more than one pulse can be specified with in the same 1Mhz band arc of any track. G64 files effectively specify a bit resolution between 0.3Mhz and 0.25Mhz depending on the speed zone setting.

- The 1541 floppy disk controller emulation includes all relevant internal counters and shift registers.

- 1541 VIA port latching and handshaking is now emulated.

- Improved handling of disk protect sensor while swapping disks.

- Fixed GPF in Insert New Blank Disk.

I'm still alive!

 

Sorry for no updates since last 3 months ago, due to some personal reasons, I spent little time on SaturnTV, but there is still a little progress and I will spend more time on coding the following days.
