XXXXXX 2023 : HxCFloppyEmulator 2.14.X.X (Work in progress / Beta version !)
(Last update : 27 January 2023)
Windows : Turn the process in high priority when the USB HxC Floppy Emulator is detected.
Fix most of the Sync lost events.

DiscFerret DFI Loader : New DFILOADER_SAMPLE_FREQUENCY_MHZ parameter to change
the default sample frequency.

HxC stream (Pauline) : Support CLV convertion parameters :
- FLUXSTREAM_IMPORT_PCCAV_TO_MACCLV (Dump drive's CAV RPM)
- FLUXSTREAM_IMPORT_PCCAV_TO_C64CLV (Dump drive's CAV RPM)
- FLUXSTREAM_IMPORT_PCCAV_TO_VICTOR9KCLV (Dump drive's CAV RPM)

SD HxC Interface modes settings : Add PC/S950 auto density configurations.

GCC 9 : Fix warning messages during the compilation.
-> Apple II *.do/*.dsk/*.po file writer.

-> SCP writer : The "Disk Type" field can be forced in the configuration file
and the "SCPEXPORT_DISK_TYPE" variable.
SCP export : The "Disk Type" field can be forced in the configuration file
and the "SCPEXPORT_DISK_TYPE" variable.
-> Stream files writers (SCP/KF Raw/...) : Direct stream to stream support
If the current loaded tracks have a stream dump in memory then
these streams are now just resampled and then exported to the stream file.
If you want to use the old behavior and export the analyzed tracks instead then
set the "FLUXSTREAM_STREAM_TO_STREAM_CONVERT" variable to 0.

Logic analyzer capture loader : Can now load tracks captured with a simple logic analyzer.
(Saleae logic analyzer or similar).
-> Logic analyzer capture loader :
Can now load tracks captured with a simple logic analyzer. (Saleae logic analyzer or similar).
The current state/limitations are :
Need only 2 jumper wires : data (floppy pin 30) & index (floppy pin 8).
Load only a track at a time.
The sample rate is set by default at 16MHz. This can be changed through the "LOGICANALYZER_SAMPLERATE" variable.
The floppy data signal is mapped by default to the bit 0. This can be changed through the "LOGICANALYZER_DATA_BIT" variable.
The floppy index signal is mapped by default to the bit 3. This can be changed through the "LOGICANALYZER_INDEX_BIT" variable.
The supported input file format is a raw 8bits binary format (change the file extension to ".logicbin8bits").
Each byte in the file is a sample.
How to use it ? :
Connect the ground, data and index wires : machine ground to vss/gnd wire, floppy pin 30 to wire 0, floppy pin 8 to wire 3.
Start the machine, start the logic analyzer software. Start the capture and on the machine use any software/way to read a particular track.
The track should be read during at least to 2 revolutions ( 3 index pulses ). Save the dump in raw binary mode.
Change the binary dump file extension to ".logicbin8bits".
Before loading the file into the hxc software you may need to set the LOGICANALYZER_IMPORT_START_OFFSET and LOGICANALYZER_IMPORT_END_OFFSET
to define the region of interest in the file. You can use PulseView or similar software to roughly get the values to use.
TODO / Work in progress :
- Add the xx.y file naming convention to load multiple track files (xx=track number, y=side number)
- Add the dir,step,side, track 0 signals support to load a whole disk from one single file.
-> Development / build process:
- GCC 9 / 11 : Fix warning messages during the compilation.
- Clang / macOs : Fix warning messages during the compilation.
- Repository changed to Git and moved to Github : https://github.com/jfdelnero/HxCFloppyEmulator
- Continuous integration build enabled: Linux, Windows x86 + x64, macOs arm + x64 CI build.
- Auto-tests scripts added. (Linux)
