08:14 PM Feature #55 (New): Replace main CPU: I really find the stack based zpu annoying to debug. Also as its setup the rom is full.
Consider replacing with so... foft

09:47 PM Bug #25: F10 Hard Reset Ignore inserted cartridge (Core v7): This is the last thing remaining for V15. In order to do it (simply) I decided to allow off PBI access from turbo mod... foft

09:13 PM Feature #2: PBI support: Added antic refresh cycles foft

09:28 PM Feature #51: Debug port: I have a first cut of this building. This will be part of the v15 core.
Next I need to build the capture software ... foft

09:41 PM Bug #49 (Closed): CORE13 - NTSC/PAL switching: foft
09:40 PM Bug #49: CORE13 - NTSC/PAL switching: Fixed, will be in v15 when I release it. foft

09:31 PM Bug #49: CORE13 - NTSC/PAL switching: Trying to fix this one, but its nasty. I need more brain cycles to fix it... foft
09:29 PM Feature #14: Svideo core for first prototype: Hmm, just reading that IRE is _relative_ so that might be why increasing voltage didn't make anything brighter!!

05:05 PM Feature #14: Svideo core for first prototype: That works, kind of! Basic screen and star wars shields look the correct colours, but I have no red. Also very grainy... foft
12:59 PM Feature #14: Svideo core for first prototype: Writing an 'atari-style' implementation instead of going via RGB. Fixed saturation, simple phase shift for colour. foft
