2 Bugs:
3 <UL>
4 <LI>In window mode, if the framerate is low (<I>e.g.</I> if you leave it at the
5 default of 10fps) or if the emulated screen is too large,
6 really fast mouse clicks are sometimes not picked up
7 by the Emulator. For now, click more slowly</LI>
8 <LI>In full screen mode after a restart, when the mouse is first moved,
9 the emulated pointer jumps to the location that it was before the restart.
10 Disturbing, but not damaging.</LI>
11 <LI>Ejecting a CD only works in 10.2 or higher, and it freezes the emulation
12 for about 5 seconds.</LI>
13 <LI>Inserting a second CD after ejecting the first one
14 doesn't currently remount the disk.</LI>
15 <LI>Status of 'dd' command is not always correct. (If it runs out of space,
16 an error about file not found is printed?)</LI>
17 <LI>The Snapshot function is currently broken.</LI>
18 </UL>
19 Untested:
20 <UL>
21 <LI>Mac Classic emulation. I don't have a ROM, but I suspect it will crash</LI>
22 <LI>Serial port code</LI>
23 </UL>
24 Unimplemented:
25 <UL>
26 <LI>CD audio stuff. I am still trying to get this to work</LI>
27 <LI>Cut and paste between emulator and OS X</LI>
28 <LI>Floppy stuff. If a floppy is mounted by the OS X Finder,
29 it is busy and cannot be opened by the emulator</LI>
30 <LI>Interrupt function for emulator</LI>
31 <LI>Sound</LI>
32 <LI>'nogui' to disable GUI alerts (and maybe preferences, but I need to split
33 MainMenu.nib to do that)</LI>
34 </UL>
35 Possible Enhancements:
36 <UL>
37 <LI>Use NSFileManager's movePath:toPath:handler to rename all a file's forks
38 in extfs_macosx.mm</LI>
39 <LI>Emulator snapshot - save the current emulator state
40 (memory + registers) to a file for fast startup next time</LI>
41 <LI>Multiple emulators. The window stuff is mostly there,
42 but the uae_cpu code has lots of globals, and is not re-entrant</LI>
43 <LI>Real addressing mode for the emulator. Mike Sliczniak had done most of the
44 work, but with real addressing the emulator just crashes for me</LI>
45 <LI>Get VOSF (Video on Seg Fault) working, to speed up screen redrawing</LI>
46 <LI>Improve Objective-C object allocation. e.g. http://www.mulle-kybernetik.com/artikel/Optimisation/opti-5.html</LI>
47 <LI>Use automake instead of the current 1_prepare_files.sh ?</LI>
48 <LI>Add JIT options to preferences?</LI>
49 <LI>Use internal windows to display Help doco?</LI>
50 <LI>Provide feedback during external commands (<I>e.g.</I> ejecting a CD or
51 creating a disk volume)
52 <LI>Implement a better fix for ether_unix.cpp's EtherNet thread not terminating.
53 Not sure if this is just a 10.3 thing,
54 or if it is something about my NSThread classes</LI>
55 </UL>
