Hi,

Thanks for you feedback from last time.

There's a new pre-release of AppleWin 1.26.0 here:
https://github.com/AppleWin/AppleWin/releases/tag/v1.26.0.5

Fixes since 1.26.0.3 (19 Sept 2016):
.. [Bug #341] Color Monitor mode (showing graphics) is shifted one HGR pixel to the right (losing the rightmost pixel)
.. [Bug #353] Pravets 8M has a superfluous dot lit on the ']' character
.. [Bug #352] Full-speed in mixed mode results in flickery video
.. [Bug #351] In full-speed mode, listing a long BASIC program is barely faster than 1MHz mode
.. [Bug #350] Config -> '50% Scan lines' checkbox not working


NB. These new bugs reported at 1.26.0.3 are not addressed (but are recorded as issues):
.. #344: Lines get vertically blurred in the TV modes, kinda defeating the 50% mode.
.. #353: Odd key bindings for Pravets and II+


Please report any issues you find either here (in cea2) or raise a bug here:
https://github.com/AppleWin/AppleWin/issues/new

Awesome work Tom!

Sorry I could only help a little.

Cheers,
Nick.

It was worth installing wine just to try a few things out...

I could drag ProDOS_2_4_1.dsk to the AppleWin window and it showed up in
drive 1. Clicking the Apple asks before rebooting, and holding down Ctrl
while clicking the Apple does a RESET -- nice!

From my few minutes, it looks cycle accurate even horizontally in video. I
think up until now that only epple2 could do this, Virtual ][ and KEGS only
keep up vertically. The Apple ][+ model can do VBL detection in software by
reading the video byte on the bus:

1100:
:A0 0 98 99 0 10 C8 D0 FA CE 0 10 84 FA A9 20
:85 FB B1 FA AA BD 0 10 C9 FF F0 3 FE 0 10 C8
:D0 F0 E6 FB A5 FB C9 40 D0 E8 A9 FF 85 FD BE 0
:10 E4 FD B0 4 86 FD 84 FC C8 D0 F2 A2 0 A9 20
:85 FB A5 FC D1 FA D0 15 49 FF 91 FA A9 8D 9D 99
:11 E8 98 9D 99 11 E8 A5 FB 9D 99 11 E8 C8 D0 E2
:E6 FB A5 FB C9 40 D0 DA A9 AD D0 4 9D 99 11 E8
:E0 60 D0 F8 8A 9D 99 11 2C 52 C0 2C 54 C0 2C 57
:C0 2C 50 C0 AE D0 27 A5 FC 8D D0 27 CD 50 C0 D0
:FB 8E D0 27 A2 23 CA D0 FD

Excellent!

Thanks for sharing the code.
Can you explain the code at $1100?

btw. I've added it to the test suit:
https://github.com/AppleWin/AppleWin-Test/blob/master/v2/A2e -enhanced-VideoModeSwitch.aws.yaml

The new save-state (yaml, human readable) allows fragments of sparse memory to be initialised, as demonstrated by just dropping your hex code into the save-state (+ I added text & hires images).
