1 Bugs:
2 <UL>
3 <LI>In window mode, if the framerate is low (<I>e.g.</I> if you leave it at the
4 default of 10fps), really fast mouse clicks are sometimes not picked up
5 by the Emulator. For now, click more slowly</LI>
6 <LI>In full screen mode, sometimes the program hangs just after minimising the
7 window (i.e. full screen mode is never entered). If this happens, do a
8 force quit (Apple-Option-Escape) and start the program again, as it
9 usually works just fine then</LI>
10 </UL>
11 Untested:
12 <UL>
13 <LI>Mac Classic emulation. I don't have a ROM, but I suspect it will crash</LI>
14 <LI>CD-ROM stuff. Should be the same as BSD, but who knows how Apple's stuff affects this</LI>
15 <LI>Floppy stuff. See above</LI>
16 <LI>Serial port code. See above</LI>
17 </UL>
18 Unimplemented:
19 <UL>
20 <LI>Ethernet</LI>
21 <LI>Reset and Interrupt functions for emulator</LI>
22 <LI>Sound</LI>
23 <LI>Window depth. It is currently stuck at 32bits, which Quartz dithers down
24 to whatever the user's display is set to. This is mainly due to the fact
25 that NSBitmapImageRep does not support any 16bit modes. The Core Graphics
26 primitives may allow a workaround, though</LI>
27 <LI>'nogui' to disable GUI alerts (and maybe preferences, but I need to split
28 MainMenu.nib to do that)</LI>
29 </UL>
30 Possible Enhancements:
31 <UL>
32 <LI>Use NSFileManager's movePath:toPath:handler to rename all a file's forks in extfs_macosx.mm</LI>
33 <LI>Emulator snapshot - save the current emulator state
34 (memory + registers) to a file for fast startup next time</LI>
35 <LI>Multiple emulators. The window stuff is mostly there,
36 but the uae_cpu code has lots of globals, and is not re-entrant</LI>
37 <LI>Real addressing mode for the emulator.
38 At the moment, OS X's mmap() call does not support anything useful</LI>
39 <LI>Get VOSF (Video on Seg Fault) working, to speed up screen redrawing</LI>
40 <LI>Implement OpenGL windowing mode (to speed up emulator screen redrawing)</LI>
41 <LI>Improve Objective-C object allocation. e.g. <A HREF="http://www.mulle-kybernetik.com/artikel/Optimisation/opti-5.html"> here</A>. </LI>
42 </UL>
