What's new in Backward 2.70:
- Many new patches, especially for GEM and LineA.
- A NEW TOOL : PATCH.GTP. It allows you to modify your still
resisting programs.
- A new sweedish distributor Sven Bornemark and a new sweedish version.
Just run BACKSWE.APP for having sweedish messages.
- The exception table option has disappeared and is kept on (moved).
- the 68030 options are now disabled in the non registered version.
What's new in Backward 2.71:
- Many small fixes. Especially, Microprose Golf works really now (a small bug
was still wandering).
- More patches for programs.
What's new in Backward 2.72:
- A new patch for gemdos calls. Found thanks to Roger Cupif. By the way, Backward III already
includes a more efficient version of this patch.
Sad News : Forget my Email address. It is useless.
Very Good News : Backward III is on its way. The ehancer part is almost
rewritten. I am working now on new features !
New features already done :
- It allows up to 512Ko for 1Meg Falcons, 3.5 Meg for 4meg Falcons and 13.5
for 14Meg Falcons. If there is demand, a 768Ko mode will be done for 1Meg
Falcons.
- It is now resident until next COLD boot. With some restrictions, the set-up
will be altered accordingly to the launched program.
- You won't have to reboot to rerun Backward.
- The stack is more protected. A few more games available thanks to that.
- The memory space used is reduced in resident mode.
Features I am working on :
- Use of the Jag joystick for realtime configuration (it seems silly, but
using it is safer than the keyboard, believe me).
- Use of the Jag joystick as a normal joystick. It can be done at least for
system calls, but I am working on a full implementation.
- Allowing the TOS to run with caches and at 16Mhz, whatever may be the set-up
for the current program.
- Forcing programs to use hard disk instead of floppies (but do not expect too
much from this).
Other unmentionned features will follow.
Sincerely yours.
Cyrille.
