Moving to R39

desertfish · Post by **desertfish** » Thu Mar 31, 2022 7:25 pm

For prog8, I'm progressing through the recent r39 changes in the kernal routines and vera memory layout. Expect a new major version release soon.

(note that prog8 has always been targeting r39 so the changes I have to make are fairly minor)

I'll be very happy when the RTC is emulated so that TI$ and DA$ actually report something besides "000000" and "20000000" ?

I assume that with the conversion of the forum that updating the web emulator would take some time. It currently boots in R38.

Well, yeah, obviously the work to support R39 in "Try it Now" had to be done before it will work, and this is in the middle of transitioning the forum to a new system. But "Given that the online emulator will remain at R38" makes it sound like it's locked on R38. "Given that it will take some months for the online emulator to support R39" might be less confusing.

Thanks for there rewording, appreciated. I'm not sure exactly if its a trivial matter to update the online emulator or not, or even where it falls in the queue of things to do. I did hear that the forum transitioning might take some time.

Anyway, I'm happy to see that the forum, emulator and X16 codebase is moving "forward." As well, that there is a active and vibrant community here.

I have upgraded my commander-r39 branch to the new Kernal code. I haven't pushed it to master yet because I have problems with file loading. Programs that want to load dynamic drivers can't get them. I haven't investigated it yet.

I think I noticed this, too. A PET font that I like to load, doesn't appear to... I think. If there's a problem with file loading, then I've gotta wait as well, since I usually have LOTS of data files I heft into banked RAM.

I can only speak for the core web version , which is straightforward to update, just building the web target and updating the hosted assets (Eg https://sebastianvog.github.io/x16-emulator/x16emu.html )

In the past I provided the web emulator assets to Matt Grandis, who updated the forum . I don’t know details of the forum integration/hosting and thoughts about temporary backward compatibility to the existing r38 software library.

Thanks, @SebastianVoges. If you can send me the updated files, I can take it from there.

@SebastianVoges

So after talking to the other guys on the admin team, we are going to move forward with just R39 on Try-It-Now. If you want to send me the the new assets, I'll update those as soon as I can. (This weekend is nearly 100% booked, so it will be early next week.)

Thanks

I would like to be able to build the web emulator my self, but am stuck in something like dependency hell. Is there any chance you could show me your tool chain or maybe even guide me?

I am currently using Linux Mint as my development station, but can easily move to Windows if needed.

Thanks.
