Amspirit Lite

Emulation
1

Release 1.15 is out now!

  • (Breaking): default web server port changed from 8765 to 6128 (much easier to remember). --web-port remains available to specify any port explicitly.
  • Memory address notation in the debugger: bank prefix changed from Cxx: to Bxx: (e.g. B04:0200) to avoid confusion with Gate Array C0-C7 RAM configurations.
  • Flatpak package for the Qt frontend.
  • Qt: binary export now uses the @ convention during export, allowing the entry point to be specified at export time, not only when running under AMSDOS.

and a bunch of fixes.

Hi @Longshot

two questions

  1. Is it possible to load custom ROMs somewhere to a specific upper rom number?
  2. will you release the source code at some point in time? The “source” file does not contain the actual source code, but some examples etc..

I may have forgotten - what is the difference between 1.15 lite and 2?

Two different things.

2 is the Amspirit emulator only running on Windows. That exists in Version 2.

1.15 ist Amspirit lite emulator which is portable and running on multiple platforms and architectures.

Also how I perceive it:
Amspirit is the old platform and development is now fully going into Amspirit Lite.

There are still some differences and Amspirit 2 may have features that are currently not in lite.

I asked your questions to DManu78 and Siko, who are the main authors of these two versions.

In the links I posted earlier, there’s a blog post that explains precisely what distinguishes Amspirit from Amspirit Lite, and it outlines the API tools that have been available to users for several months.

As for integrating specific ROMs into Amspirit Lite, this will soon be possible through the adoption of the CRO format, which I mentioned in a post on the old forum, to directly populate ROMs.

Regarding the source code, they are currently unwilling to share it.

Siko and DManu78 have a Discord server:
