Archiv 'Updates von Soft- und Hardwareprodukten'

`16.Jul.2016`	Szene-Party: Evoke (Köln, 12.08. bis 14.08.) Im August findet in den AbenteuerHallenKALK in Köln die diesjährige Auflage der Szene-Party Evoke statt. Wie üblich werden diverse Demo-, Grafik- und Sound-Wettbewerbe veranstaltet. Spezielle Kategorien für Retro-Computer sind nicht geplant, 8- oder 16-Bit-Produktionen können in der Kategorie "Alternative Platforms" eingereicht werden - hier ist dann aber u.U. eigene Hardware mitzubringen. Für Pixelgrafiken und Protracker-Module werden allerdings Wettbewerbe angeboten. Auf der Veranstaltung wird auch die schwarmfinanzierte Dokumentation 8-Bit Generation: The Commodore Wars vorgeführt.

(5 instructions, 3 registers) Added support for the 68020. (27 instructions, 2 registers) Added support for the 68030. (4 instructions) Exploded each instruction to it's own size-form and sometimes additionally to it's type form. For faster access, each instruction does now have it's customized parameter-object. Effective-address access and decoding are now done via 6+1 highspeed function-tables, each 64 entries long. This does save up to 12 (322) switch statements per instruction. Condition-code checking is now done via a 16 entries long function-table instead of a switch-function with 16 entries. Optimized condition-code calculations. Fixed/removed DIVU-remainder calculation, also new and faster DIVS. New and faster versions of ABCD, NBCD, SBCD, ASL, ASR, LSL, LSR, ROL, ROXL, ROR, ROXR. Fixed MOVEP instruction. Fixed all 68000/68010 execution-time calculations. Program-counter calculations are not hardcoded any more. Ported high-level functions from actual WinUAE. General Re-ported and optimized the following parts from actual WinUAE: Audio, Blitter, CIA, Config, Copper, CPU-highlevel, Custom, Disk, Drawing, Events, Expansion, Filesys, Gayle, Hardfile, IDE, Memory, Roms, Playfield, RTC and Serial Chipset Custom-chip registers are now accessed via a 256 entries long function-table instead of a switch-function with 256 entries. Added support for the A1000-Agnus. CIA Added support for different TOD sources. Added support for ROM overlay. Added support for A1000 Velvet prototype. Blitter Minterms are now calculated via a 256 entries long function-table instead of a switch-function with 256 entries. RAM Added Zorro3 and 32bit support. Added support for chip-/bogo-ram aliasing. Access is now done via function-tables (banks) instead of area-selecting switch-functions. ROM Added support for encrypted Cloanto-roms. (Amiga Forever) Added special A1000 kickstart handling. Added ROM-patcher, which does remove unneeded resident libraries. Added support for ROM-mirroring. Added ShapeShifter-support. Added a ROM-info page. Updated AROS-ROMs to actual version SVN52764. Floppy Added 3.5" DD ESCOM and 3.5" DD/HD PC only drive-types. Added support for the diskspare-format. Added support for PCDOS-images. Added support for DMS-images. (DiskMasher) Added support for SCP-images. (SuperCardPro) Added support for EXE-images. Disk can now be inserted from the database. Drives are now write-protectable. Added a disk-info page. Mount Added support for hardfiles. (.hdf/.vhd) Added support for Onboard-IDE (A600/A1200) Added support for PCMCIA-slots (A600/A1200) Units are write-protectable. Playfield Added AGA-support. Added support for 16 bits-per-pixel (R5G6B5) rendering. Got rid of an internal temp-buffer. So in WebGL-mode, we render to the texture directly now. Added options for video-centering. Video The output-driver is now selectable. Added support and options for brightness, contrast and gamma. Added alpha-channel support. Added line-change indicator. (debug) Audio Added "Anti"-samplehandler. Added A1200 lowpass-filter. Added support for stereo-channel separation. Rewrote handling of WebAudio-stuff. Events If supported by the browser, timing-functions does use performance.now() instead of Date.now(), which increases the precision by the factor of 1000. Optimized switching between pause/run. Thanks 'majcherek2048'. Input Added distinction between left/right shift/alt keys. The config-entry "Map L/R-Shift to L/R-Arrows" is gone. Config Completely reworked the advanced config page. Changed all SAEV_Config_* to SAEC_Config_* to match the new namespace. Sorry for that :/ Many new options. Not listed here, see sae/config.js for details. API Deprecated and removed the old API function "SAE()". We're on javascript, so let's use: (new API) "var sae = new ScriptedAmigaEmulator(); [...] var error = sae.start(); [...]" See index.js for details. Reworked error-handling for API-calls. Now an error-code (SAEE_*) is returned on any API-call. Common Introduced global functions, references, variables and constants for more speed. See sae/amiga.js for details. Moved all entries from constants.js to their specific place and renamed them to match the new global name-space. Updated asynchronous file-transfers to latest standards. Added proper GPL-header to the source-files. Moved the "Your game and demo..."-section from the main-site to the readme. Fixed linkage to contributors websites. Added SAE-specific-links to the info-box in the main-page. Added an disassembler tool. "var sda = new ScriptedDisAssembler(); [...] var result = sda.disassemble();" See disass.js for details.
