(very) beta IIe functionality available (via xcode)

[Zellyn]

For the brave, and very hot-off-the-presses, this seemed to work for me and 4am:

git clone https://github.com/zellyn/OpenEmulator-OSX.git OpenEmulator-zellyn

cd OpenEmulator-zellyn

git checkout iie

git submodule update --init --recursive

open OpenEmulator.xcodeproj

Things that I know don't work yet which are really inexcusable:

• any-key-down keyboard functionality
• restarting/rebooting/powering-off-and-on-again (I must be failing to reset some softswitches or something?)
• I wasn't able to type open- or closed-apple (left alt, right alt) keys plus question-mark at the same time in the IIe diagnostic disk

Things which are probably bad but probably matter less but I plan to fix eventually:

• haven't checked that the floating bus is reading correct locations (it seems to have IIe-specific code in there though so maybe it is)
• haven't checked that switching video modes mid-scanline works at all, and switches at the correct x-position
• it has no concept of keyboard ROM, so you can't remap keys
• You can't plug/unplug aux 64k and 1k cards like proper OpenEmulator components

Good luck :-)

Oh, and if you can find non-disk-related infidelities with real hardware, especially if you can demonstrate them with short BASIC or acme assembler programs, I will add them to my test suite and do my best to fix them.

I should also take this opportunity to recommend the #openemulator channel on the retrocomputing Slack. Invites for anyone at https://retrocomputing.herokuapp.com

Is this available as an executable or source only?

[Zellyn]

Only source for now. I haven't figured out how to build apps yet. But I can give it a try and stick a build in Dropbox tonight or tomorrow night if that would be useful.

[Antoine Vignau]

Thanks but take your time.
I won't be able to build the executable but I can wait until you are satisfied with the code updates.

I'm having fun and enjoy the latest release of OpenEmulator, thanks for making it real.

I'd like to submit a bug please:

- version 1.0.3.1 (nversioned directory)

- use an Apple // computer unenhanced (enhanced not tested)

- boot a Pascal disk, it will switch to 80-col

- once loaded, change disk, take a DOS 3.3 one

- reboot/restart/re-whatever

It will leave the 80-col mode on. On a real machine, a ctrl-oa-reset switches back to 40-col.

Thank you and keep up the good work,

Antoine

Thanks! Sorry for sitting on this for so long — it got buried in my inbox. I've created an issue for it: https://github.com/OpenEmulatorProject/libemulation/issues/27

This is my birthday today, so we're cool ;-)
