atari++ 1.46 Released

Category: Atari

- This release is mainly due to Mark Keates (thanks, Mark!) by emulating the flash process for Steve Trucker's flash ROM carts. That is, Steve's software is now able to erase and re-flash the flash ROMs.
- Added emulation code for the Phoenix, Blizzard and ATMax cartridges.
- New cartridges (for the Flash code) and new disk images can now be created by the emulator on the fly. For that, just type in a non-existing file name in the file requester and either format this virtual disk, or set the cart type to Flash and supply a flash image.
- The FMS directory operations were complete rewritten, reducing the amount of required buffer memory by 128 bytes. Furthermore, the default number of buffers was reduced to the standard set of two drives, three files, again leaving more memory to BASIC.
- The FMS is now even more compatible to Dos 2.0S by offering the same memory locations for the drive write mode, the number of drive buffers and the number of file buffers. All these are now available by standard peeks/pokes documented in Dos 2.0S.
- The FMS is now read-compatible to Dos 2.5 and makes the extended files visible in the directory listing.
- This release fixes a couple of minor bugs in the OS implementation. The text window modes of Graphics 9,10 and 11 flickered during SIO operation, and the ROM got streamlined a bit.
- The monitor offers now a command to log the commands executed by the CPU to a file. Check for the ENVI command. Note that the logs can grow very fast very long.
