Arnold

Arnold/MacOS is an Amstrad CPC/CPC+ Emulator for the Macintosh. Arnold features emulation for the five different models of Amstrad CPC - namely the CPC464, CPC664, CPC6128, 464 Plus, and 6128 Plus. It can also emulate the KC Compact, a bootleg of the CPC. Arnold features extremely precise emulation, allowing complicated demos to run without problems.

What is new in this release:

• Audio recording no longer stops when emulator is switched to background, provided that the option to keep emulating in background is on. Recording will still stop if the emulator does.
• Brushed metal mode is now off by default on new installs, as well as existing installs where users press the Default button.
• Fixed an obscure endian bug that resulted in odd window sizes when an emulator preferences file was moved between PowerPC and Intel.
• Fixed several minor visual glitches in the Preferences dialog box.
• Modified the behaviour of the Quick Freeze function, so that the last ten quick freezes for each game are kept in ~/Library/Application Support/Bannister/(emulator name)/Saved States. You can restore these at any time using the Defrost menu command. Added code to stop the quick freeze and quick defrost keys from being repeated. Thanks to David McCabe for the suggestion.
• Replaced custom about box with standard HIAboutBox. Removed option to pause execution when about box is open.
• (Arnold) Added support for automatically loading cassette files.
• (Arnold) Added support for printing from within the CPC. Text only, output is saved to a file on the users Desktop.
• (Arnold) Disk LED is once again five pixels wide. Thank the Xcode optimizer for causing this one.
• (Arnold) The Automatically load games option is now turned off by default, which should prevent inadvertent emulator resets when changing disk on multi disk games.
• (Arnold) Writing to disk images works once again.
