A quick update on a new core version that I'm releasing for testing today! Core 12, which works on the AppleSqueezer GS v2 only, has the following updates:
Additional video modes are now supported through HDMI. The modes now supported are:
Super High Res (SHR) mode, this is the main mode used for IIGS software. Both 640x200 and 320x200 resolutions are supported.
Apple II 40 column text mode
Apple II 80 column text mode
Apple II lores and double lores graphics modes (new with this release)
Apple II high res mode (new with this release)
These last modes do not support "mixed mode" at the moment (text at the bottom lines, graphics at the top)
Fix for top part of screen for Super High Res mode that would not display correctly in certain games.
Speed increase of around 11% compared to Core 11.
Benchmark for Core 12
Below, you can see some numbers when running BENCHMARKv5.2mg on a ROM3 IIGS:
Download for testing
Please note that Core 12 is released for testing for now, and therefore does not appear on the Downloads page just yet, as I'd first like to hear from a few more people if everything works as expected.
Please contact me through Facebook if you'd like to test this new version! You can download it below, but please realize that if you install it during the testing period, you do so at your own risk. But of course I'm happy to help in case something doesn't work as expected!
Do not install this core on an AppleSqueezer v1! It may render it unbootable (which can be fixed through a JTAG programmer, but it's obviously not ideal :)
