Altirra v2.3

Altirra v2.3 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.

Debugger: .tracecio now reports correct status. Debugger: Fixed an issue with stack overflow in History pane on very deep recursion. Debugger: Verifier now allows jumps to the CIO device initialization vectors. Debugger: Fixed incorrect wrapping of zero page indexed addressing modes in disassembly. Debugger: Threaded static trace (st) command. Debugger: e (enter) now follows normal expression evaluation rules. Debugger: Fixed disassembly of PEA ($F4) opcode. Debugger: PHX and PHY no longer create bogus call trees in the History window in 16-bit indexing mode. Debugger: Fixed disassembly of opcodes with the (d,S),Y addressing mode. Debugger: Corrected off-by-one index handling in .unloadsym command. Debugger: Fixed blowup with memory access breakpoints in GTIA range with VBXE enabled. Disk: Status byte 1 bit 5 is now updated after a Write PERCOM Block command. Display: Fixed a crash when Direct3D 11 is enabled and fails to initialize. Display: Fixed alignment errors in OS Screen Only mode with extended PAL height enabled. Display: Enabled frame skip and reduced latency in full screen vsync mode. GTIA: Player/missile size code %%10 can now trigger shifter lockup. GTIA: Improved accuracy of mid-shift size changes. HLE: Fixed editor tab commands. HLE: Fixed bug with init segment dispatching. IDE: READ SECTOR and WRITE SECTOR commands now allow up to 256 sector transfers. IDE: READ MULTIPLE and WRITE MULTIPLE commands now produce errors when multiple mode is disabled. IDE: The block size set by the SET MULTIPLE MODE command is now reflected in IDENTIFY DEVICE output. Input: Fixed MultiJoy #8 input conflict. LLE: Fixed system reset NMI handling. LLE: Implemented PBI handler and CIO support. LLE: Keyboard routines now update ATACHR. LLE: Fixed editor tab set/clear commands. LLE: Added printer (P:) device support. LLE: Added light pen/gun support. MMU: Fixed crashes accessing high 65C816 memory in the x64 version. MMU: VBXE can now properly overlay Covox. POKEY: Fixed timers 3+4 occasionally not being shut off when switching to asynchronous receive mode. POKEY: Fixed timers 1-3 having the wrong offset when underflowing immediately before a write to STIMER. POKEY: Corrected start timing of polynomial counters. POKEY: Corrected audio pattern for 9-bit and 17-bit polynomial counters (was incorrectly inverted). Recorder: Fixed 8-bit uncompressed output. Recorder: Minor fixes to compressor. Serial: SIO emulation level setting is now saved correctly. VBXE: Writing a '1' to the blitter start bit no longer aborts an active blit.
