A new version of QPC2 will shortly be available – some of us have been fortunate enough to Beta-test an early release. Here’s some notes from the text file which came with it:
- 5.00 Converted most parts from assembler to C, except the emulation core
- First version that is not compatible with Windows 95 anymore :- XP or later is needed now
- Finally a new DirectX11 based screen driver! Much more compatible and faster.
- Old screen driver still included for WINE or other situations.
- QPC_QLSCREMU emulation now goes both ways, making it compatible with basically all old software
- Improved FLP driver including a new write cache for very fast disc writes
- DOS driver can now save QL header information like QemuLator
- DOS driver translates file extension separator “_” vs. “.” (configurable)
- DOS driver transparently translates illegal Windows filenames like “con” into “con_”
- DOS driver moves files when creating directories like the SMSQ/E drivers
- DOS driver returns the correct size of sub-directory entries within directories
- DOS driver returns all filenames in correct upper/lowercase spelling
- DOS driver RENAME now also works on XP
- WIN/DOS/FLP configuration now has auto-complete edit fields
- Some improvement to power management
- Improved BEEP emulation (especially for short beeps)
- Implemented STOP 68000 instruction
- Scan all monitors for biggest resolution, not just primary
- Added some missing CTRL+key keyboard combinations
