New Version Of The Commodore Plus/4 Emulator Plus4emu

August 28, 2008 by Hawq 

A Commodore Plus/4, C16 and C116 emulator for Linux, there doesn’t seem to be a Windows build up yet, I skipped these machines entirely so only have limited experience of them from the few times I did use them they had some good games on so they are worth trying out, especially at the low low price of some time to download the emulator, of course you’ll want to know what’s been done to it before you download it so read on dear listeners:

  • added a C interface that allows using the emulator as a shared library in other programs; the library and header file can be found in the ‘plus4lib’ subdirectory of the binary packages, and a simple example program with compile instructions is also included
  • implemented IEC level MPS-801 printer emulation, in addition to the previously existing hardware level MPS-802 emulation
  • added a new button to the debugger GUI that makes it possible to break only when a branch is taken (i.e. the opposite of ‘Step over’)
  • more accurate PAL emulation in OpenGL mode when the display quality is set to 3
  • LED display is now also implemented for IEC level drive emulation
  • the ROM images required by the emulator are included with the binary packages, and no longer need to be downloaded separately
  • fixed a bug in the ‘Step over’ function of the debugger
  • fixed/improved support for D64 error information; this allows some copy protected games that previously did not work to load correctly
  • the ‘compress’ utility has two new compression methods, some new options, and the original method is 3-5 times faster now while producing identical files; also, compression support in ‘p4fliconv’ is improved somewhat
  • various minor bug fixes, optimizations, and other improvements
