| YAPE 1.0 Arrives
Today we're celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the massively popular Commodore Plus/4 Emulator: YAPE. Read Gaia's words (shamelessly lifted from the YAPE homepage):
Exactly 10 years has passed since the first public alpha (or rather: WIP) of YAPE saw the light of day. It is just as unbelievable as it can get... sheesh. It started off as an attempt at a more intelligent disassembler when I realized how much fun it really is to learn the hardware AND C++ programming at the same time while dealing with my all time favourite hobby. I thought this anniversary would be also a nice opportunity to abandon the rather clumsy versioning I have been following in the past. Anyway I have not got much time to make a long rant here, so you will be spared :-)
The main changes in the aptly named - 10 years old - 1.0 compared to 0.86 are as follows:
- 32-bit and automatic bitdepth option in fullscreen mode (8 bit full screen mode might be slow under newer Windoze's)
- copy & paste to/from the clipboard now respects upper/lower case mode
- partially implemented 48 bps mode of the T6721A speech LSI
- G64 image support is no longer read only (yay, at last)
- reading from open address space
- plenty of bugfixes (drive, TED, autostart, monitor etc.)
Of course 1.0 not to mean Yape is ready and will be abandoned. A piece of software never really is. Head on over to the downloads section while it's still warm. Cheers to Gaia for his awesome work, we all benefit from it. If you've been wondering how you could repay all the enjoyment you've got for free... Look no further than the "Donate!" button on the left side on the YAPE Homepage!

The link of the x64 build of the 1.0 version points to the 0.86 build.

It was in jest, but:
Mr SID: http://www.sidmusic.org/sidplay/mac/ http://sidmusic.org/gamebase64browser/
Lallafa: http://lallafa.de/blog/macvice/
Yape is the only Windows application I'm missing after I switched 100% to macs...

oh cool I might as well do that (fact is, I did give the source to a couple of people already, but very few actually did something ).
