Short: Update of ZXAM 2.0b to run correctly over Blizzard 1260
Author: tpomar@jet.es (Toni Pomar)
Uploader: tpomar@jet.es (Toni Pomar)
Type: misc/emu
This is a executable-only update of ZXAM Spectrum Emulator 2.0b, released
to fix the problem it had with the new Blizzard 1260 accelerator (the
computer was completely unusable with the emulator running, as it freezed
the whole system most of the time, affecting even to the emulator itself).
It's only the FULL GENERIC executable, because I think that the 68060
doesn't need the FASTER or SPECIAL AGA versions ;-)
The problem was with the MOVEP instruction, that was extensively used in
the original ZXAM executables, but is not implemented in the 68060
processor, so it must be emulated by soft by the 68060.library. Strangely,
the problem appeared only with the Blizzard 1260, as the original ZXAM
2.0b runned fine over the Cyberstorm 4060 accelerator. There seem to be
something strange in the Blizzard 1260, or something exceptionally good in
the Cyberstrom 4060, but now the problem is fixed, so doesn't matter :-)
Please, get the full distribution set of the emulator
(misc/emu/ZXAM20b.lha), that includes all the documentation and extras,
and better (faster) versions for 68020/030/040.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ALL SPECTRUM FREAKS: Please, sorry for the BIG delay
in the release of the 128k version. I was really busy during all these
months (I am very busy yet...), so I couldn't dedicate to the emulator all
the time I would like to, but the development of the emulator has NOT been
dropped.
I am delaying so much that I though about renaming the project as ZXAM 96
or something simmilar ;-)))))
