 |  YAPE 1.0.2
A badly needed update: some nasty bugs have been patched as well as the in-memory bitmap of the printer emulation is made visible via a GUI window (only as #4).
Anyway, let's see what's new this time:
- Printer job window (for now #4 only)
- Turn off variable length buffering properly when recording media (fixes occasional clicks)
- Not scanning joysticks when unavailable (Message Queue driver slowdown)
- Column width and line feed bug for MPS803 emulation fixed
- Regression bug in the printer cycle counter ironed out
- Awkward TED drawing bug patched
You can grab the release at the usual place: Yape Homepage or check the Yape page.

I like when the first thing is to fix the bugs, and then add new features. 
Some companies really should consider it...

Yay, go Gaia! What was the TED drawing bug? Was it related to Oscar?

Nope. When in double clock mode and open borders (the TED being in an idle state), writing to FF19 caused artifacts due to a bug in a rarely used branch of the drawing code. This was pointed out by Krill (which I thank him for).
The autostart issue with Oscar is still unresolved. Believe it or not, sometimes it does work which makes it difficult to catch.

Oscar... Not sure what that is be it game or person. Sorry my bad.
Thinking out loud...
Make me think back to CP4, (Amiga Plus/4 emu) when something like Gunlaw would offset the characters on the title screen as if it was using a different screen mode. Gunlaw would hang or run when it wanted. I even had to trick CP4 which I have long forgot how - to display Tom Thumb correctly!! 
I'll grab me coat.
