Awesome!

The Windows version works great. I ran it in Wine on my Mac without any problems at all.

Re: Pom1 1.0.1 beta 3 Mac OS X

I just tried the Mac OSX version and it doesn't run. I moved the framework to /Library/Frameworks, rebooted and still no go...

Any clue, I'm on a new MacBook air with 10.7.2.

Awesome...

One of these days I need to learn how to use Xcode. I'm a Unix script and batch file compiling person.

Cheers,
Corey

Re: Pom1 1.0.1 beta 4 Mac OS X

The source code for the Mac and Windows versions are available. I included a simple makefile with the Mac source code. I think you might need to change the temporary install path to include your username instead of mine.
cd Pom1
make
I am stuck with Xcode 3.2.6 and Mac OS X 10.6.x. Fortunately, your new Mac can run Xcode 4 and Lion. 1.0.1beta3 was built with gcc 4.0, 1.0.1beta4 was built with gcc 4.2, that and the release numbers are the only difference between the two.

Re: Pom1 1.0.1 beta 4 Mac OS X

Beta 4 works great on 10.7 Lion.

I understand being stuck with 10.6.x, my son's Mac, my old one before the MacBook Air, is 32 bit and stuck there as well.

Thanks for the recompile, this will let me play around until my Apple I replica is built...
Cheers,
Corey

Re: Pom1 1.0.1 beta 4 Mac OS X

Can't seem to load any ROM files like the basic rom.

FYI: It doesn't even complain if you try to load a file that even exists. It seems the may not work.

Re: Pom1 1.0.0 Released

I just tried to run Krusader against this on Windows but something strange happens with shift. Looks like it treats a shift press as a key press so I am unable to enter a '$' for example. Makes it hard to enter any assembly source. Smile Basic works alright in this regard though. Krusader uses the following to read a character - works fine on my emulator (i.e. Krusader Toolkit), the java pom, and the replica 1.

<br /> KBD =$D010 ; Apple 1 Keyboard character read.<br /> KBDRDY =$D011 ; Apple 1 Keyboard data waiting when negative.<br /> INMASK = $7F<br /> GETCH ; Get a character from the keyboard.<br /> LDA KBDRDY<br /> BPL GETCH<br /> LDA KBD<br /> AND #INMASK<br /> RTS<br />

Also had problems after going into full screen and out - left my windows stuck on half monitor. And it managed to seize up once and hard crash once in 5 minutes of use, so probably not quite 1.0.0 yet.

On the positive side, I loaded up my assembler test file in binary and assembled and ran it. It assembles every instruction and every addressing mode and then self tests the output. All worked, so the core emulation must be pretty much right.

Re: Pom1 1.0.0 Released

Hi everyone,

Sorry about those two bugs. I have fixed them and now the save memory and fullscreen options should work correctly. It was a long time since I worked on the project before the last release I called stable. I should have done more testing before I released it. I will probably do another release of 1.0.0 with a few other new things besides the two bugs I fixed.

I initially used double buffering for the video, but later changed it since not much updating is done to the screen unless you type characters and characters are output to the screen. It just made sense to me to only update those portions of the screen that are necessary instead of updating the entire screen using double buffering. I do not own a Mac so I am unable to verify how SDL Pom1 works on it. I do not notice any flickering on Windows or Linux, but if it is that much of a problem for the Mac then I may reconsider using double buffering.

I am also planning on doing a release for Android, so if you own an Android tablet or mobile device, as I do, then you may look forward to the release of that version.

Thanks again to everyone who has used and supported my port of Pom1.

Re: Pom1 1.0.0 Released

So you fixed the load and save from a file functions?

Re: Pom1 1.0.0 Released

Yes, I have fixed the save memory option. The load memory option works, but for ASCII mode the beginning of each line must include an address. I will change this for the next release so that either will work. I also have fixed the issue with the shift key. It was allowing it as a valid key when it shouldn't have. I tested it with Krusader and the $ character is now recognized.

Re: Pom1 1.0.1 beta 5 for Mac OS X (Intel)

The loading of files works but you have to have the exact path and no error message if the file does not exist or it can't find it. I'd suggest some feedback. Also it may make sense if the user doesn't specify a path to look in resources in the package since you already have some ROM files there.

Otherwise looks good and I was able to write "Hello World" in basic. A big step for many apple I emulators which require loading Basic and not already having it in memory when loaded.

Cheers,
Corey

Re: Pom1 1.0.0 Released

Yes, that was the exact fix I used of changing || to && for the save memory option. I will take a look at the rest of your fixes. I also noticed that I do redraw every character each time and update the entire screen instead of updating the area of each character that is output. I just do not find double buffering really necessary since the screen is only updated when a character is output. I will probably include an option to load basic automatically. The reason I didn't initially was because some people may want to use that area of memory for some other purpose. I will probably release 1.0.0 again in the next week or so. It depends on if I can find the time to include the other things I would like to include before releasing it again.
