Subject: BeebEm Repo on Github
Hi Ben,
Great initiative, I'd be happy to enlist myself as a BeebEm developer.
Would be great to see one repository for all platforms (Windows, Linux,
Mac etc.).
Currently I'm using a modified version of BeemEm 4.14 for Windows, which
I've updated so the disk handling supports MFM disks like the ones used
by Solidisk DDFS. I've also written a beta version of a Solidisk DDFS
plugin, so BeebEm can emulate the Solidisk DDFS v1 DFC board. While
working on the disk handling modules I've also cleaned up some of the code.
One of my personal wanna-haves is disk support for raw disk images (with
sector id's, support for deleted data etc.). I've had tons of fun
puzzling out disc encryption schemes back in the days, and it would be
nice to do this sort of stuff in BeebEm. I haven't started on this yet
though.
Also, some code cleanup in the second processor support would be nice.
This would help me implement support for a 68k TUBE implementation (I've
developed a 68k second processor in real hardware, and a virtual 68K
TUBE implementation would speed up code development significantly). A
68k emulator in BeebEm might be a feature request someday, since Torch
also made a 68k second processor...
I might have some old versions of BeebEm sourcecode. If you're
interested, I could upload them.
Cheers
Eelco
