Altirra 2.0 Test 35

EmuCR:AltirraAltirra 2.0 Test 35 is released. Altirra is an Atari 8 bit Emulator on the Windows/DOS platform. Altirra emulates several models of the 8-bit Atari computers. This includes the the 800, 800XL, and 130XE versions. It has a lot of options, and compatibility is decent especially given the emulator's early stages. It also supports some copy protected games properly in emulation.

Altirra 2.0 Test 35:
It was caused by some under-the-hood changes I'd made to move toward some additional cassette support. Note that this version has some accuracy improvements for disk I/O as well.

> 1) add please possibility to load into the emulator palette files *.act and *.pal.
> It is possible to add the button "import".

I've previously already said why this is problematic.

> You have a fine utility "PASTE" which allows to insert any text or the program написаную on BASIC into the emulator.
> However you do not have utility operating on the contrary, allowing to keep the text in a file.

Two ways:
1) Enable Hard Disk (H:), and do: LIST "H:FILE.TXT". You can also do ENTER to read it back in, or LOAD/SAVE for binary format.
2) Enable the Printer Output window and then do "LIST P:". This will only work if you do not have control characters (inverse).

PCLink will work too, but is a very roundabout way of doing so since you will have to boot SpartaDOS X + PCLINK.SYS first.

> What kind of dialogue number 160?

This is a generic progress dialog. It is currently used when loading a .WAV file tape takes a long time, but can be used for more things in the future. The text for it comes from code. I have been meaning to look at solutions to make localization easier but haven't gotten around to it yet (localization is hard, Atari is easier). In the meantime, if you extract resource.h from the -src.zip file, it contains the original program names for those IDs.
