Gopher2600 v0.25.0 is released!

Gopher2600 is an Atari 2600 emulator. Although the performance is not as good as some other emulators, it is still suitable for playing games on a reasonably modern computer.

ARM

• improved ARM disassembly, particularly for Thumb-2 instructions
• implementation of FPU and instructions
• registers window in debugger
• COPROC STEP command forward by single ARM instruction
  • useful in conjunction with source window, local/globals window and/or registers window
  • preparatory work for ARM level quantum control

ELF

• "byte streaming" of ROM data - leading to significant performance improvement
• initialisation sections executed before main() function

Notifications

• notification icon for coprocessor development files
• transparency setting
• fixed conditions under which combinations of notifications are shown

Bug Fixes

• fixed bad image stutter when refresh rate is inconsistent
• crash in timeline window when scrubbing past end of rewind history
• thumbnailing no longer causes the application to hang if the ARM emulation crashes
• FPS measurement was broken if television was being nudged
• "fastload" supercharger ROMs (ie. bin files) would crash debugger
• Known Outstanding Bugs
• rewinding of ELF ROMs when byte streaming is active sometimes produces a skewed image
