Thank you for the new version, Gaia.  I'm glad that this very useful tool still gets better and better after all this time. However, I have a long standing complaint. It is not a serious problem but a cosmetic type one. The Machine/Configuration... window always opens with Custom machine as Preset machine type. Would it be too much hassle to check the configuration and select the actual machine type when opening this window? And another two questions: will the 64-bit build too have the call trace window and will the position of the monitor and trace windows persist between sessions some day? |

As I think the "persist between sessions" is always a question.. If somebody resize the screen area, and change monitor that will be a problem to persist it.
I'll be happier, that I can save more custom machine for rom types. Maybe I can start somehow differently. But I 'm happy for the fact, We have Yape! 
The serial adapter emulation in the future maybe will be nice, because I have some idea with it. |

Sure, but which would you guess is a more frequent occurrence: A) people changing their computer setups; B) people run and quit YAPE umpteen times when debugging a programme under development?
Were you pressed to pick one of these option to support, which would you find more useful to choose? A) Absolute safety? (as if...) B) Everyday convenience and efficiency? |

@Gaia. Thank you for adding the support of D82 file format.
This 1MB monster size floppy disc format will give us the chance to release games and slideshows with a lot of gfx.
TCBM2SD already support this D82 format, but if a realease will come in this format (because of YAPE support) nobody will be shocked.
Why D82 and not the 1581 disc format is my preferred big floppy format?
Because the TCBM2SD is not only bigger but much faster too. 6x faster in normal mode than an 1581 (and with special driver 12-14x faster) , and in emulation mode the 1551 with a D82 alone is 4x faster than 1581 in normal IEC mode. (Maybe implementing and getting widespread the fast serial protocol will change it soon.) |
