2009-07-21 releases

By Robert, July 21, 2009

- added: batcher-rebuilder always scan/never scan subfolder options
- misc: enhanced "Can't merge set due to equal names" check to work with chds, too
- misc: increased memoryfile size which is used for header support. This should increase speed when header detection is done on zipped files
- misc: added shareRead and shareWrite options to cmpro.ini. Setting them to "on" will allow generalfile read/write sharing. Use it on your own risk
- removed: fix missing scans all set. An old resource hog...rarely used

Classic 99 v330 - Ti99/4a emulator

- Rewrote Disk system in its entirety - new system supports full FIAD access in all modes (including update) as well as several new modes for interacting with Windows text files (reading AND writing them). The Editor/Assembler's Assembler now works!
- Updated Ami99DSK.BIN to support CALL FILES()
- Added DSK0 to Ami99DSK (now allows DSK0 through DSK9)
- Made GROM Writes update prefetch (eh?)
- Added option to Set RAM to random values rather than 0 on powerup to help find software bugs
- Added maximum volume setting to Audio options dialog
- Added F12 for LOAD interrupt (but checks for a vector, unlike the real TI)
- Changed CPU 'turbo' from F3 to F11
- Added 'step over' on F3 (for BL and BLWP)
- Updated Documentation and moved it all into Classic99.txt
- Disable Function keys as Alt-x replacements when Scroll Lock is on
- Added debugger commands to modify memory at runtime
- Add directory read support ("DSK1." style)

Source Changes
-----------------------------
Added GAME_IMPERFECT_SOUND flag to taitogn.c games since we don't emulate the sound CPU. [Fabio Priuli]

CDP1802: [Curt Coder]
- refactored the Q and DMA callbacks to use devcb
- fixed state code output and load mode

Added FP registers to PPC debugger interface. Fixed bugs in the x64 back-end that prevented proper 3D rendering for Model 3 games. [Aaron Giles]

ARM7 improvements: [R. Belmont]
- Added ARMv5+ CLZ instruction.
- Added ARMv5TE instructions: QADD, QDADD, QSUB, QDSUB, SMLAxy, SMLALxy, SMULxy, SMULWy, and SMLAWy

Naomi update [Deunan Knute, R. Belmont]
