Product Description:

Einstein Emulator is a NewtonOS 2.1 emulator (MP2x00 US, MP2100D or eMate 300). It is part of a larger project aiming at porting NewtonOS to Unix-based PDAs.

What's new in this version:

  • Added a Cocoa screen manager and a whole Cocoa application around it.
  • Added keyboard support.
  • Improved the way events are transmitted from the host to the Newton.
  • X11 screen manager can now cope with most (any?) visual (using XAllocColor). Please note that 8 bits TrueColor cannot represent either the 16 shades of gray or the 16 shades of green.
  • Fixed a bug in the cli application code.
  • Fixed a bug in the way breakpoints are parsed.
  • Improved the package installation by reporting progress on the installation itself (in addition to progress of the transfer).
  • Allowed several packages to be installed in a row.
  • Added a watch command to watch parameters and log the result.
  • Improved screen interface by making it endianness-agnostic.
  • Improved flash by making it endianness-agnostic.
  • Fixed bugs in the X11 interface, including better multi-threaded code.
  • X11 display now is endianness-agnostic and works with both 24 and 15 bits depth (millions and thousands of colors).
  • Flash now uses mmap(2) and associated calls.
  • RTC delta is now initialized so that the Newton is set to host time at boot.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented the Newton to be powered off more than once.
  • Memory and ROM are now swapped on little-endian machines, thus avoiding unnecessary conversions during each access.
  • Many additional optimizations.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.3
