Power64 CommentaryWhat's new - Version: 4.9.5, 2/29/2008 02:24AM PST

Version 4.9.5: (Bugfix Release - Febuary 2008)

* The fonts in the directory and debugger window are now scalable, to accomodate high-res screens, where 9-point Monaco is simply to hard to read.
* Added Support for Gamepads
* Minor Bugfix for Joystick Support in MacOS 10.4.9
* Improved Mouse Handling for Amica Paint
* Improved Timing for Barbarian
* Sound Output is broken on some Macs. This used to cause extremly fast emulation in Power64. While the root cause of this bug is still not understood, Power64 now detects the problem and safely falls back to mute emulation.
* Power64 sometime had trouble mounting disks via Drag&Drop. This bug has been fixed.
* Power64 no longer crashes when drawing screens in black/white mode.
* Lots of links in the documentation have been updated/fixed.

Anyone know what is new in this version? The last version released was 4.9.3, unless I missed 4.9.4, and I can't find a list of the changes. Power 64 (and Power 20) are nice emulators but they're written in machine language for the PowerPC and an Intel/Universal version will never be released. I also understand (from the developer) that there won't be any new features.

I like Power64 but there is one feature missing that is keeping me from registering. It lacks any communication functions. VICE (the free Commodore emulator, see: http://www.viceteam.org/) has a 'virtual modem' which is patched through to TCP/IP on your computer allowing you to connect to Internet-accessible bulletin boards (see: http://www.orrville.net/telbbs/) and things like the resurrected Quantum Link service (see: http://www.quantum-link.org/). Power64 won't be a fully functional emulator until this fearture is added and then I'll happily register.
