- Added Layer modes 6 and 7 (blend modes)
- Added stackless NMI
- Added DAC Channels A,B,C,D
- Allow tiles on RAM 7
- Improve display render when only ula enabled (6% less cpu on my computer)
- Fixed 128k/+2a/Pentagon timings
- Fixed DIVMMC mapping after RETN
- Fixed Copper timings
- Fixed esxdos handler call DISK_FILEMAP

By the way, you can now play Atic Atac for Next machine on ZEsarUX, you need first to enable setting Storage-> SD/MMC-> Enable SDHC addressing and load file aticatac.nex from Smartload


Merry Christmas!

Nice! Thanks

When you'll release also the Linux version can you please use an updated SSL library?

The one used up to now is obsolete and the emulator doesn't even start: "zesarux: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Alternatively I think also a statically linked library should work (or use a plain site)

Every Linux stable version I generate is for the following distros:


debian11_i686

debian11_x86_64

fedora38_x86_64

ubuntu22_x86_64

If ZEsarUX doesn't start on your PC you have to compile it from source code, I can't generate binaries for all distributions

I can understand, but then why instead you don't create just a single package?
Have a look here: https://appimage.org/

Thanks. I will take a look

Not sure if ZEsarUX is a good fit for it, but to take the "joining" even a step further (same executable for every platform as Windows, Linux, Mac, etc) there might be the cosmopolitan lib: https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan
