Altirra 2.8 Test 8 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 2.8 Test 7 Changelog:
* The built-in EXE loader now issues warnings to the debug console if it sees init segments exiting with the kernel ROM disabled or the I-flag set, since these will fail with vanilla DOS.
* Fixed bug where mouse capture could drop if you moved the mouse fast enough. (The mouse was invisibly escaping the window.)
* The 5200 placeholder cart is now re-mounted if you cancel the cartridge mapper dialog or if the cart load fails. Previously it would remove the cart and then the OS would boot up without a cart and crash (not possible on real console).
* Rewrote motion calcs in input code. Relative bindings no longer run at different speeds between NTSC and PAL, and acceleration is now tunable independently from speed for digital-to-analog bindings, i.e. button to relative paddle. It’s now also possible to slow down relative bindings more than before. This changes the meaning of the speed values, so existing input maps may have to be adjusted — in particular, speed 0 is now actually 0. Note that acceleration only matters for D2A, not for analog-to-analog bindings like an analog stick -> paddle.
* Redid the default input map presets. The mega mode switching transformer Xbox 360 input map that was confusing everyone is now gone and has been replaced with individual mappings. Also, relative-mode 5200 controller maps have been added. They’ve been tuned so that Missile Command is playable. Since this is a change to presets, you won’t see it unless you Reset all bindings or re-add the new ones through the Preset button.
* Fixed UI bug where the names for the D-pad inputs on XInput controllers were off by one.
* ST/Amiga mouse emulation rewritten, now dynamically changes pulse spacing as mouse speed varies. This makes the emulated mouse more reliable at higher speeds and removes the weird diamond movement artifacts caused by queuing.
