Commander X16 Emulator and ROM R47
Posted: Sat Mar 30, 2024 6:43 am
R47 of the Commander X16 ROM and emulator is here, and it's big!!
Among other things, we have 65C816 support in the emulator. That's right, you can now write and execute code written for the 65C816 CPU.
There's too much stuff to list, including new BASIC commands, BASLOAD and EDIT integration, and under the hood changes to improve the PS/2 keyboard reading and reliability of the game pad reads.
You can pick up a 65C816 CPU from Mouser . This is entirely optional, and your X16 will continue to work for the foreseeable future with the 65C02 CPU.
Get the emulator at https://github.com/X16Community/x16-emu ... es/tag/r47
For those of you with hardware:
ROM update: https://github.com/X16Community/x16-rom ... es/tag/r47
VERA update: https://github.com/X16Community/vera-mo ... ag/v47.0.2
SMC update: (some SMCs have a bad bootloader and must be re-flashed manually. Do not update.)
And here's the update guide with a quick walkthrough of installing the updates:
