This was released a year ago, but it hasn't been improved since. The
current version is 0.02. With a version number
that low, one would expect it to be barely working, but it's got most of the
8-bit features covered already.
ACE comes as portable source code. It was designed to work under Unix/X,
and it also works under Linux's SVGAlib. No DOS/Windows version exists at
the moment. The author is busy on other projects at the moment, so don't
expect enhancements for awhile
Platform: Unix w/ X or SVGAlib. (8-16meg recommended)
Models Emulated: 800, 800XL, 65XE
Emulated:CTIA, Display Lists, DLI's, P/M graphics with collision
detection.
Compatibility:Low, runs most things, but usually with very skewed
graphics.
Pros:
Has built-in monitor, also comes with program to access a 1050 disk drive,
with easy-to-build cable. Supports .XFD/.ATR files as well as new format that
allows for bad sector emulation. This will give it the ability to run some
copy-protected software. Support for swapping disks.
Cons:
Inconsistant Speed. Runs slow some of the time, fast others. Some of the
graphic capabilities are not emulated
correctly. There probably won't be any updates for awhile, unless someone
other than the author decides to update it.
