Yape Plus/4 Emulator v0.84 updated

October 13th, 2009 No comments

From the Yape homepage:

Now the summer hiatus is over, a small update to Yape is ready. Mainly tape related fixes/features but let us not forget the simple external assembler that is now added to the monitor and is available via the A (or .) command, just like for the good ole TEDMON.

It could still be improved but for now it’ll suffice I guess. It also supports illegal opcodes, of course.

But here’s the full log of what’s been changed:

  • Implemented a simple assembler in the external monitor (yay, at last!)
  • Tape head adjust dialog for wave samples.
  • Optionally invert tape sample input signal (soundcards may invert the phase while recording WAV’s)
  • Tape fast forward and rewind in 15 sec steps.
  • TAP’s with non-native encoding now supported (C64, VIC20 frequencies)
  • Bugfixes (sound, tape)

One of our senior Network Administrators trying to  fix the problem and all services should be restored very soon.
