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 <LI>The EtherNet thread doesn't seem to terminate, which means that the
19 emulation doesn't shutdown cleanly. Not sure if this is just a
20 10.3 thing, or if it is something about my NSThread classes.</LI>
21 </UL>
22 Untested:
23 <UL>
24 <LI>Mac Classic emulation. I don't have a ROM, but I suspect it will crash</LI>
25 <LI>Serial port code</LI>
26 </UL>
27 Unimplemented:
28 <UL>
29 <LI>CD audio stuff. I am still trying to get this to work</LI>
30 <LI>Cut and paste between emulator and OS X</LI>
31 <LI>Floppy stuff. If a floppy is mounted by the OS X Finder,
32 it is busy and cannot be opened by the emulator</LI>
33 <LI>Interrupt function for emulator</LI>
34 <LI>Sound</LI>
35 <LI>'nogui' to disable GUI alerts (and maybe preferences, but I need to split
36 MainMenu.nib to do that)</LI>
37 </UL>
38 Possible Enhancements:
39 <UL>
40 <LI>Use NSFileManager's movePath:toPath:handler to rename all a file's forks
41 in extfs_macosx.mm</LI>
42 <LI>Emulator snapshot - save the current emulator state
43 (memory + registers) to a file for fast startup next time</LI>
44 <LI>Multiple emulators. The window stuff is mostly there,
45 but the uae_cpu code has lots of globals, and is not re-entrant</LI>
46 <LI>Real addressing mode for the emulator. Mike Sliczniak had done most of the
47 work, but with real addressing the emulator just crashes for me</LI>
48 <LI>Get VOSF (Video on Seg Fault) working, to speed up screen redrawing</LI>
49 <LI>Improve Objective-C object allocation. e.g. http://www.mulle-kybernetik.com/artikel/Optimisation/opti-5.html</LI>
50 <LI>Use automake instead of the current 1_prepare_files.sh ?</LI>
51 <LI>Add JIT options to preferences?</LI>
52 <LI>Use internal windows to display Help doco?</LI>
53 <LI>Provide feedback during external commands (<I>e.g.</I> ejecting a CD or
54 creating a disk volume)
55 </UL>
