Recompiling and redistributing is a full on violation. (Fortunately I am pretty sure they aren't building it, as the build system is a mess and few people ever have. ) I'm aware of EmuFrance. They used to be pretty quick to pick up the updates, but they used to just link to me too I know I am not crazy, it is what I relayed. It seems to have been corrected since I checked. Hell, maybe I am just crazy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 399.067 - Added RXB2024a - Made UberGROM EEPROM non-volatile, if it's configured in Classic99.ini https://harmlesslion.com/software/classic99/ Webpage may take 24 hours to update, but the zip should be correct. 9 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 399.068 - added RXB2024b - turn off AMS register level debug (missed this in the git commit notes) - fix TIPI captured mouse hiding - add INI option "bankedConsoleGROMs" - set to 1 and console GROMs will respond to separate bases too. Not tested at all and I expect this to crash a lot in normal use, but see if that does what you wanted, Gary. Let me know if you create a test case I can use for future development of that option. https://harmlesslion.com/software/classic99/ Webpage may take 24 hours to update, but the zip should be correct. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tursi Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 (edited) This update is worth mentioning - file system fix. It's a gotcha. Classic99 399.069 This fixes a detection issue accessing DF128 headerless on FIAD if any part of your disk path contains a period (assuming an extension exists, which isn't allowed). It was checking the entire path instead of just the filename. Note you can always bypass that restriction using the ".?X" option (ie: DSK1.?X.WIN.EXE would allow opening an exe as DF128). Also: mute "Skipped 0 sentences on shut up" message (we don't care if it was 0) fixed case of DLL load on FilterDLL.dll and hq4xdll.dll for those running from case sensitive filesystems. (If you renamed the DLLs, you may have to rename them back). emit a warning in the debug log if loading a DSR to an invalid CRU base correct address wraparound in the 9901 address mapping add interrupt pin warning to debug log in the 9901 emulation (Classic99 does not support 9901 hardware interrupts) don't spam the same debug statement repeatedly to the log (note: no timeout. If you NEED to see a repeated statement, force another one in between. For instance, press Control to get the speech clear debug) also note the external debugger (debugview) is NOT filtered this way, so that you have best visibility there Given that bug has been in there since I first added DF128 headerless support, it's probably a pretty obscure case. But there was no help in the debug log when it happened, so worth fixing. As usual, the web site may require 24 hours to update but the download zip is uploaded (edit: looks like I got in right before the update ran ) https://harmlesslion.com/software/classic99 (Regarding the 3 uploads comment from way back, yeah. I had to push to git, then ftp the zip to my server, then go into my database update tool and write the update there. Now I just push to git and everything else is automated. ) Edited April 19 by Tursi 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 The 9901 interrupt pin was an interesting gotcha too... I accidentally turned on interrupts on the joystick left line when I added the SID Blaster support to Super Space Acer. I didn't realize it was interrupts until I asked ArcadeShopper to try it and he reported that it lit up the PEB. Basically, I was turning on the SID blaster by writing to the keyboard column select at CRU 24. But, I accidentally wrote >24. The result was holding left would freeze the game while the console ROM tried to figure out which DSR asked for an interrupt. Since Classic99 didn't support 9901 pin interrupts, there was no real help there. >24 is 36, but the CRU pin space is only 32 bits long, and Classic99 also wasn't wrapping the address around in that space like it was supposed to. (Bit at address 4 is joystick left.) Soooo.. those two changes to the 9901 code came out of my needing several days to figure that out. Though it's kind of neat to know that yes, joystick and keyboard inputs can trigger interrupts. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrospect Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Windows 10 just stole my Classic99.exe file. I attempted to launch it (for the second time, after initially telling it that it's okay to run this "new " software.) And it basically popped up a window telling me Classic99.exe contains either a virus, or potentially malicious software. And then it just took it out of the folder. It stole it. It won't give me it back. So rude! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hate the idea of a recurring yearly cost for something that's supposed to just be a hobby. I guess I could go subscription, lootbox and DLC like everything else? Classic99 399 Ultra! Only $2.99/month, comes with 1 disk drive and 32k RAM, just like your original system! Install AMS for only $19.99, and every drive is only another $12! Or purchase the random "PEBBOX" for $7.99 and you'll never know which expansion you might unlock! It might even be the rare Video controller, or the side-car acoustic coupler (you'll have to hold your phone against your PC speakers for this one.) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
