** NOTE: see SDL or win32 for driver implementation example
 
----


===2.2.7 (r22889)===
* added tapecart emulation, still needs GUI hookups


* NEW: archdep_fix_permissions (r23053)
Tapecart support has been added in the Gtk3 UI and the SDL UI, including a 'flush image button' which uses the new tapecart_flush_tcrt() function in tapecart.c.
** should set the permissions of a given file to "rw", respecting the current umask (if any)
** '''TODO:''' add proper code for the following ports: beos
** '''TODO:''' ...and copy to arch/sdl/archdep_* when doing that


----
'''TODO''': Decide if we want to add this to the other ports, to be included in VICE 3.2, the last release with the 'old' ports.


===2.3.6 (r23990)===
==3.0==


* ACIA/swiftlink/turbo232 base selectable, $DE00/$DF00 for c64/c128 and $D700 for c128 only (r24036)
* Added support for G71 (double sided G64 for 1571) images
** '''TODO:''' add ACIA base address select UI item for the following ports: beos
:'''TODO''': add g71 to filters in file-open/attach dialogs in following ports: amiga, dos, osx, win32
:'''TODO''': add g71 to "create image" dialogs (DISK_IMAGE_TYPE_G71) in following ports: amiga, beos, dos, osx, win32


===2.3.8 (r24123)===
===r32815===


* MasC=uerade adapter support added to xvic.
* Added support for the StarDOS drive ROM, new resources DriveXStarDos (boolean), DriveStarDosName (string)
** '''TODO:''' add georam, digimax, acia/swiftlink/turbo232, sfx sound sampler, sfx sound expander and tfe UI items for the following ports: beos
:'''TODO''': add GUI items to the following ports (take supercard or profdos as example): amiga, beos, dos, osx, win32


===2.3.9 (r24210)===


* additional functions signals_pipe_set() and signals_pipe_unset() added in arch/*/signals.c (r24261)
===r33343===
** to check if a port needs this implemented, type this into one terminal:
*: <code> x64 -remotemonitor</code>
*: and this into another:
*: <code> echo "reset" | nc -p 6510</code>
*: now terminate the connection by pressing ctrl-c. if the emulator now quits (or crashes) you probably need to handle SIGPIPE, ie set up a signal handler for SIGPIPE that calls monitor_abort() (see the unix code as an example). if not, just locate the respective fixme note in 'your' sourcefile and remove it.
** '''TODO''': check/confirm/implement for the following ports: amiga, beos, dos, os/2
** '''TODO''': ...and copy to arch/sdl/archdep_* when sigpipe handling is required


* added model selection to xplus4 (r24285)
* Changed a few malloc()/free() calls to lib_malloc()/lib_free(), which includes some code I cannot check (OSX for example), so should you run into errors/warnings when running VICE with -debug enabled, let me know. I think I got it right, but you never know.
** look at plus4/plus4model.h for models and functions, it works just like the c64 counterpart
** '''TODO''': add GUI items to following ports: beos, osx
 
* ACIA emulation can be disabled in xplus4 (r24285)
** new Resource: Acia1Enable (BOOL, default = TRUE)
** '''TODO''': add GUI items to following ports: beos
**: Note: this toggles wether the internal ACIA is present or not. actual rs232 emulation may be "enabled" even if no ACIA is present. so this item should go near to the other hardware/i/o extensions/options.
 
* xplus4 cartridge system unified to common api (r24285)
** new Resource: CartridgeReset (BOOL, default = TRUE)
**: when enabled, reset the emulated machine when changing cartridges

* after above changes, check wether VDC and VIC-II palettes can coexist, and update the todo list here: [[Todo#Ports_.2F_UIs]]
** '''TODO''': check following ports: beos, osx
* vsid is a seperate machine and splitted into a seperate binary (r24321)
** <code>vsid_mode</code> is deprecated. change all <code>if (vsid_mode) ...</code> to <code>if (machine_class == VICE_MACHINE_VSID)</code>
**: Note: in some cases checking for <code>console_mode</code> and/or <code>video_disabled_mode</code> might be better
**: Note: if there are switch statements in archdep code which check for <code>machine_class</code>, then adding <code>VICE_MACHINE_VSID</code> to them might be required (one common spot seems to be in joystick_init_cmdline_options())
** '''TODO''': update following ports: dos, osx
** '''TODO''': ... and remove <code>vsid_mode</code> in main.c
** NOTE: if a port has no fully working vsid ui, remove it here and add it to the todo list here: [[Todo#Ports_.2F_UIs]]
 
* after above changes put the status of the vsid ui into the todo list here: [[Todo#Ports_.2F_UIs]]
** '''TODO''': check following ports: beos, dos, osx
 
* xcbm5x0 splitted from xcbm2 into a seperate machine and binary (r24326)
** Resource "UseVicII" removed (no more needed)
** '''TODO''': remove gui items/references in following ports: dingoo
** due to the split, some features are no more available/needed in one or the other:
**: cbm5x0:
*** remove "crtc settings"
*** remove all _but_ "510" from model selection

by Rhialto
 
I enabled up to DRIVE_NUM IEEE-488 drives, rather than 2 (in True Drive Emulation mode). In some places where they are enumerated, it is 4. The drives use their full 3 bits of jumpered drive number now, rather than just 1 bit.
 
I have also generalised  code so as to allow another dual drive. Since dual drives currently use up two device numbers, it will use 10 and 11. I'm currently simplifying the methods for checking the dualness of a drive.
 
When that is done, I hope to have gained enough understanding of the code to remove the horrible hack of using 2 devices for a dual drive, and remove it. It looks like it will simplify a lot of code (including removing lots of code that I changed for allowing 2 dual drives). That will have some repercussions on the GUIs, since for every drive you may need to be able to attach ''two'' image files. It also would add an extra "drive" parameter (in addition to the current "unit" parameter) to a shedload of functions, although this is a pretty mechanical change. In fact, it is the GUI change that currently holds me back...
 
'''TODO''': Think of some elegant way to represent settings for 8 floppy images (for 4 dual drives), without requiring all GUIs to be updated at once.
'''TODO''': After that, I can rework the code to make dual drives more regular and hence allow 4 of them.
 
===2.3.19 (r25940)===
* removed unused "Romset<NAME>" resources
* '''TODO''': fix win32 port (./arch/win32/uirom.c, find "Romset%s" - the "Computer resources saved to romset" and "Drive resources saved to romset" dialogs and the buttons opening them can be removed, they never worked :))
 
===2.3.21 (r26032)===
* added "SuperCard+" emulation (this is a drive expansion board for 1541/1571)
* new Resource: "DriveSuperCardName" (string) that specifies the SuperCard ROM image
* new Resources: "Drive8SuperCard", "Drive9SuperCard", "Drive10SuperCard", "Drive11SuperCard" (toggle) that specify whether SuperCard is enabled for the respective drive
* '''TODO''': add GUI items to following ports: amiga, beos, dos, os/2, osx, win32, sdl

** The point is to have a single FDD emulation for all drives which need low level media emulation and caching. The disk image handling is also reworked to make simpler to use and extend it later. Some features were added like handling of d71 double sided emulation mode disk images, real 6502 FDC with GCR image (works for 1001 now, planned for others). Improved fault handling and updating of Dxx images, 1581 and other MFM drives needs some work.

As of the 3.2 release, this page is no more used. All developers are supposed to update the GTK3 and SDL ports when they add things that need GUI items.


The developer log is intended to be a central place for all developers to take down notes on what has changed during development. This helps to keep all porters up to date regarding API and Resource changes.

Trunk

Here is a short overview of all changes made in trunk that are relevant for the respective port/gui maintainers.

Note: new stuff should be added at the bottom and each item should have the related svn revision

To keep the size of this list down (and hopefully shrinking) ...

  • Port/GUI Maintainers should remove their port from the respective item when it is implemented.
  • To not clutter this page with stuff that will not get implemented anytime soon ("i will not add lightpen support to this handheld port") in such cases the respective port should also get removed from the respective item, and a note pointing out the missing feature should get added to Todo#Ports_.2F_UIs instead.
  • Items which have no more TODOs left should then be moved to the Developer_log_old Page

r34242

  • added tapecart emulation, still needs GUI hookups

Tapecart support has been added in the Gtk3 UI and the SDL UI, including a 'flush image button' which uses the new tapecart_flush_tcrt() function in tapecart.c.

TODO: Decide if we want to add this to the other ports, to be included in VICE 3.2, the last release with the 'old' ports.

3.0

  • Added support for G71 (double sided G64 for 1571) images
TODO: add g71 to filters in file-open/attach dialogs in following ports: amiga, dos, osx, win32
TODO: add g71 to "create image" dialogs (DISK_IMAGE_TYPE_G71) in following ports: amiga, beos, dos, osx, win32

r32815

  • Added support for the StarDOS drive ROM, new resources DriveXStarDos (boolean), DriveStarDosName (string)
TODO: add GUI items to the following ports (take supercard or profdos as example): amiga, beos, dos, osx, win32


r33343

  • Changed a few malloc()/free() calls to lib_malloc()/lib_free(), which includes some code I cannot check (OSX for example), so should you run into errors/warnings when running VICE with -debug enabled, let me know. I think I got it right, but you never know.

Branches

Here is a short overview of all branches that are currently active in SVN, i.e. someone develops a new feature that soon will be merged into trunk. Note here the upcoming features, if some testing is required on specific platforms or there is something porters need to be aware of. When a branch was merged into trunk, the respective info should be moved to the Developer_log_old Page.

  • 2.3-new-cpu-cores (blacky)
    • This branch is all about (old and) new cpu cores, it is meant to implement the following:
      • z80 support for x64/x64sc (z80 cp/m cartridge). (code is in the trunk and used by the c64 cpm cart)
      • 65(S)C02 support as used in some accelerator carts, but also as direct 6502/6510 replacement. (core is in the trunk and used by the fd2000/4000 drives)
      • 65CE02 support as direct 6502/6510 replacement.
      • 65802/65816 support as used in some accelerator carts, but also as direct 6502/6510 replacement (65802 only). (core is in the trunk and used by xscpu64 as the main cpu core).
      • 6809/6309 support as used in the super pet. (core is in the trunk and used by the superpet)
      • 8088 support as used in a copro board for the cbm2 (able to run cp/m-86 and msdos 1.25).
  • driveupdate (soci)
    • The point is to have a single FDD emulation for all drives which need low level media emulation and caching. The disk image handling is also reworked to make simpler to use and extend it later. Some features were added like handling of d71 double sided emulation mode disk images, real 6502 FDC with GCR image (works for 1001 now, planned for others). Improved fault handling and updating of Dxx images, 1581 and other MFM drives needs some work. Planned is to get the 1571 MFM mode somehow working together with the GCR mode (probably not on the same type of image file), and maybe implement G64 image support for the IEEE drives. And of course all these changes brings some new bugs to fix. This is most likely not going to be finished in 2011, and maybe some parts should be migrated to trunk to get some of the ready stuff out earlier.
  • vice-1990 (soci)
    • Branch for emulating the 1990 drive.
    • TODO: user interface for Drive?Swap8Button, DrivexSwap?Button, Drive?WriteProtectButton
    • TODO: gui changes so that this type can be selected
    • TODO: RTC72421 emulation needed (in trunk)
    • TODO: proper disk image attaching, hdd/iso/fdd image types? Currently file is hardcoded to "/tmp/image" for all!
    • Future: geos, swap8, swap9 and write protect LEDs on GUI would be nice
    • Future: device number comes from the image instead of VICE.
    • Future: vdrive support. Good luck ;)
