Software : : Frodo 4.2 released
Posted By: itix. on 2006/4/19 15:19:21
New MorphOS version of well known C64 emulator is released. It is soon available at Aminet and via my MorphUp repository.

- Catweasel support: use original SID chip for genuine C64 sound
- Alternatively you can use AHI to emulate 6581 or 8580
- Multithreaded MUI GUI, Arexx port, Commodity support
- Joystick support
- Display scaling (hardware accelerated)
- Colour preferences
- F12 toggles between full screen and window mode
- F11 hides status bar in full screen mode
- Alternative OpenGL scaling (if you dont like overlay)
- AHI output can't block sound from other music programs


Using Catweasel
---------------

If you have Catweasel MK3 PCI Flipper you can use your SID chip for sound emulation. Just choose "Catweasel" or "Catweasel+AHI" for sound emulation and Frodo autodetects your card.

Using SID chip on your Catweasel produces more or less genuine sound but unfortunately proper sample output is impossible. To remedy this problem you can use another CW mode to let AHI handle samples.

CW Mk 4 is not supported (I don't know anyone using CW Mk 4 on Pegasos).


PowerUp MorphOS users
---------------------

- Frodo is less CPU demanding than FrodoSC but FrodoSC is more accurate
- Enabling 1541 processor emulation slows down emulation even more
- Disabling SID filters can help a little
- Sound output is fixed to 48kHz/16bit which might be too much for old Paula
- You can possibly utilize Catweasel Mk 3 with G-Rex. It is not tested but
if it works you can take an advantage of "HW accelerated" SID emulation ;)

    Last time I tried Frodo (can't rememebr version) it was able to start Contiki operating system; GEOS however failed cos of an unknown CPU instruction.
    I wonder if it would work on this version ?

    I wonder if you could try it and tell us? :-)

    Some versions of GEOS have quite strong copy protection, and that was one of the reasons, why it wouldn't work at all on some emulators... Haven't tried on Frodo ever. I have it on a real C64 anyway (but I should really get a dedicated C128D version, I know :-) )
