Roots Emulation Page

This page is dedicated to emulation issues, and will contain patches that I
have written for other emulators. There is currently one patch, and this is
to the Unix versions of MasterGear - Sega Emulator. If you run in 16 or 24
bit color in X you know what I have fixed.

This is site NOT in any way a pirate place. I will not put patches or
related emulator stuff here without having first contacted the author of the
program. Second, there are no ROM images on this site what-so-ever. There
are many places where you can go to find such illegal images, and this site
is no part of it. (Hint try *.*.*.tw or for 100% success, ftp to /dev/null).

On a related note, I am currently writing a simulated 8 bit microprocessor
to study the evolution of self replicating code fragments. Mutation is
caused by random errors (Prob=1e-6) in all memory accesses. The CPU is based
roughly on the 68HC11 because that is the only 8bit processor that I can
talk to. In the future I may post the code for this project here too. If you
are interested in the project feel free to email me.

Patches

My color patch to Master Gear v0.7

Currently this patch simply allows one to choose an 8, 16 or 24 bit display
as a compile option. Possibly tomorrow I will look into changing the patch
to take a simple command line option, -[8][16][24]. If there are any of you
who use 32 bit displays please contact me, and I can add that to the patch.
The patch is based somewhat on a patch for 8/16/24 bit color for VGB.

My Window Size patch to Master Gear v0.7

This patch allows a compile time setting of the window size of MasterGear.
(1x, 2x,.. Nx). This patch is a superset of the first patch, that is to say,
it does all the things the first patch does AND it alows fir a bigger
screen.

This is currently slow, if this is a problem for people, tell me and I'll
spend some speedup time.

I am sorry that progress on this page is sometimes slow, it stems from the
fact that I am also a physics student (a group of people known for having
excess free time I'm sure...), a system administrator (who does real work
too), and a paid software developer (and, I am told, a "House Physcist."
Which sounds disturbingly like a "House Cat,"). Anyway Thanks for the
willingness to wait!
