KEGS is an Apple //gs emulator for Unix. It runs on HPUX workstations,
x86 Linux, Linux on PowerPC, and now possibly on OS/2.
KEGS runs quite well on my PowerCenter 240 (a Mac clone) at 240MHz,
running at 13-15MHz. I include a MkLinux binary that should work
on LinuxPPC, I hope. It runs at about 25MHz on my HP C240.
KEGS can be download from: http://www.mtnweb.com/~kentd/kegs/
Unfortunately, my ISP is going away (I'm not exactly sure when),
so grab it while you can. I'll post when I get a new web address.
Changes in KEGS v0.38 since v0.37
- IWM bugs:
- fast_disk_emul off under GS/OS caused I/O errors.
KEGS was always slowing down to 1MHz when 5.25" drive was on, when
it should have been obeying the $C036 register.
- bug in IWM on little-endian processors
- disk ejection should now work, but a beta user claimed some bugs on
x86 Linux.
- 2IMG support, but only lightly tested.
- Removed some internal breaks on access to $C0B0 for tool033.
- Modulae also stumbled into some breakpoints by writing to $C02F,
which does nothing.
- Screen refresh simplified (for me) by redrawing the screen while
raster is on first scan-line, rather than line 200.
However, a side effect is some of the graphics during the XMAS DEMO
look a bit choppier.
- More SCC fixes to avoid breakpoints under GNO.
- Start support for sound under Linux, but it sounds horrible right now.
Any Linux sound gurus want to help out?
- Fixed possible array-overrun bug in video.c around border effects.
Maybe shared memory works under x86 Linux now?
- Made changes for OS/2 port to fopen() text files. From Blue Neon.
Thanks to everyone for their bug reports.
GNO serial port emulation should also now work better.
