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>Status of 'dd' command is not always correct. (If it runs out of space, |
| 14 |
an error about file not found is printed?)</LI> |
| 15 |
<LI>The Snapshot function is currently broken in some situations |
| 16 |
(if the emulation changes its own screen settings, and the program |
| 17 |
is compiled with the default window drawing mode of CGIMAGEREF). |
| 18 |
Setting the depth to millions (in the emulator) is a workaround for now</LI> |
| 19 |
<LI>Cut and paste between emulator and OS X only half works</LI> |
| 20 |
</UL> |
| 21 |
Untested: |
| 22 |
<UL> |
| 23 |
<LI>Mac Classic emulation. I don't have a ROM, but I suspect it will crash</LI> |
| 24 |
<LI>Serial port code</LI> |
| 25 |
</UL> |
| 26 |
Unimplemented: |
| 27 |
<UL> |
| 28 |
<LI>CD audio stuff. I am still trying to get this to work</LI> |
| 29 |
<LI>CD insert detection. At the moment, if a CD isn't there when the |
| 30 |
emulator boots, or if you change CDs, it will never know. I don't |
| 31 |
know how to register with the OS for disk insertion and mount events. |
| 32 |
(Gwenolé rewrote the CD code, and it should poll for new disks, |
| 33 |
but it don't work for me. I must be doing something wrong!)</LI> |
| 34 |
<LI>Floppy stuff. If a floppy is mounted by the OS X Finder, |
| 35 |
it is busy and cannot be opened by the emulator</LI> |
| 36 |
<LI>Interrupt function for emulator</LI> |
| 37 |
<LI>'nogui' to disable GUI alerts (and maybe preferences, but I need to split |
| 38 |
MainMenu.nib to do that)</LI> |
| 39 |
</UL> |
| 40 |
Possible Enhancements: |
| 41 |
<UL> |
| 42 |
<LI>Use NSFileManager's movePath:toPath:handler to rename all a file's forks |
| 43 |
in extfs_macosx.mm</LI> |
| 44 |
<LI>Emulator snapshot - save the current emulator state |
| 45 |
(memory + registers) to a file for fast startup next time</LI> |
| 46 |
<LI>Multiple emulators. The window stuff is mostly there, |
| 47 |
but the uae_cpu code has lots of globals, and is not re-entrant</LI> |
| 48 |
<LI>Real addressing mode for the emulator. Mike Sliczniak had done most of the |
| 49 |
work, but with real addressing the emulator just crashes for me</LI> |
| 50 |
<LI>Improve Objective-C object allocation. e.g. http://www.mulle-kybernetik.com/artikel/Optimisation/opti-5.html</LI> |
| 51 |
<LI>Use automake instead of the current 1_prepare_files.sh ?</LI> |
| 52 |
<LI>Add JIT options to preferences?</LI> |
| 53 |
<LI>Use internal windows to display Help doco?</LI> |
| 54 |
<LI>Provide feedback during external commands (<I>e.g.</I> ejecting a CD or |
| 55 |
creating a disk volume)</LI> |
| 56 |
<LI>Widescreen window layout (suggestion by Michael Franz), so that users |
| 57 |
with widescreen displays can squeeze a bigger emulated screen in. |
| 58 |
I have a mock up of this that can be pasted in (MainMenu.nib). |
| 59 |
Ideally, this would be via a generalised "theme" facility, |
| 60 |
but who has time for that :-)</LI> |
| 61 |
</UL> |
