WinSTonX Atari ST Emulator port for XBox v6

http://xport.xbox-scene.com

what's new:

- Speed issue should be resolved

- Added option to specify amount of memory (512k, 1MB, 2MB, 4MB )

- Added configuration option to select your own TOS file. You can either select the
internal TOS1.0 or select a D:\TOS_A.ROM, D:\TOS_B.ROM, or D:\TOS_C.ROM

- Added support for virtual hard drive.
Put all your files in D:\STDISKS\HARD_DRV

- Option to select your own flicker filter level 0-5 (default is 5 - max enabled)

- Added "Force PAL50" mode in Video Configuration section (off by default)

- Added 720x480 and 720x576 modes to Video Configuration menu

- Added option to hide filename extensions - find it on General Settings menu

- Added option to always bring up save/load state menu on General Settings menu
If this option is turned on, then whenever you press the in-game button-combo
to save/load a state it will display the load/save state menu from which you
can select the state.
If the option is off, then the normal default behavior of immediately
loading/saving the current state slot will occur.

- Screenshot saved with each save state

- When you go up a directory, the cursor is positioned over the directory you just
exited.

- Added text file browser

- Added default text-viewing dir. Set it via the default directories section.

- Added option to configure text screen size/position for viewing text files

- If you select the same text file to view you will be placed back at the position
you left it.

- Added Controller -> Joypad Mappings -> UI Mappings option for "Text Browser"
Assign a key-combo to this function and when invoked, it will take you back
to the last text file you were browsing at the position you left it.
This makes it much easier to jump back and forth from game <-> doc.
Note - you must first manually select a file to browse from the "Game Utilities"
menu off of the "In Game Options" menu.

- Other UI updates to make it current with most recent UI core

Uh huh... :popcorn:

Oh Yeah..

Looks for pretzels smilie...

Not that I would know what to do with half of this stuff. I was more of an Amiga user myself.

But still great to see!

Any advantage to increasing memory or changing TOS's?

Anyone?

holy cow! ArnoldX WinUAEx and WinSTonX updated within a matter of hours!

Youre a automation XPort!

madmab... the advantages to the new TOS and RAM functionality is that some hacked ST games dont work with certain versions of TOS, whilst others require 1MB Ram.

play dungeon master with 1mbyte and it will cache levels. (But playing the Amiga one is more fun cos it has more sounds and features)

I dont think ISHAR works with only 512k, just says need more RAM.

Whenever I insert a disk into Drive B it brings up the configuration menu (odd).

In addition you would think the "Disk in Drive A" and "Disk in Drive B" options would be on the initial configuration screen.

Also the music starts back up when exiting a game. I had "Start with music" set to No and "Turn of music when playing" to Yes.

So far so good, though I need to copy some TOS files over when I get a chance.

For those who are interested. There was a release by the gamebaseST team recentally which appears to have a large amount of updates.

GamebaseST uses the same program as the Gamebase 64.

Apparently there are Gamebases for other systems, although I'm not sure how complete they are.

Excellent emulator. The TOS settings in particular are excellent and up compatibility no end. Oids now works!

I still have a strange USB keyboard problem. In certain games(Thrust & Knights of the Skies to name 2) the USB keyboard doesn't work, but the virtual keyboard/mapped keys to joypad work fine.

Thrust is particularly strange. The USB keyboard will let you enter your name on the high score table, and start the game, but the ingame key input is only accepted from the virtual keyboard or joypad mapped keys. No response from USB keyboard keys. As it is a keyboard only game this is quite frustrating.

Otherwise though, like I said earlier, top emulator.

Hi !

okay, its a very good idea to include ToS changer !

BUT.... I cannot change my tos v1.0 with (for example) TOS 1.2.

How can i do that !!???

the letter D: is my dvd rom drive !!

So i try to rename this file : Tos v1.2.img to Tos_a.rom and i make an XBox iso after.

I put my CD in xbox drive and i check my file with an explorer....no problem...

But Winston not found Tos_a.rom etc... when i launch a game.

Please, can you help me

I can't find either the option for changing the amount of memory, or the option to change the TOS anywhere in the configuration menu. This is definitely v6 I have as it does include the graphic filter options. I've reinstalled it a few times.. any ideas anyone?
