This change adds a new "Step Over" button, which is enabled
when a "JSR" (Jump to Subroutine) instruction is encountered
while stepping through execution one instruction at a time.
Pressing "Step Over" will continue running instructions until a
corresponding "RTS" (Return from Subroutine) is encountered.
While stepping over a subroutine, the call stack depth is tracked
in an attempt to halt only when the *correct* RTS is encountered.
In other words, it should skip over other subroutines nested
inside the call you want to step over:
```
JSR A # Step over here...
...
JSR B
...
RTS # Returns from 'B', doesn't halt
...
RTS # Returns from 'A', halts after return
```
Implements feature request #18.
- IR field in status panel now correctly displays the next instruction
to be executed, instead of the instruction that was just executed.
- Switched from built-in Java util logger to Logback
- Updated all copyright strings to 2016
- Added tooltip text to status panel.
- Memory is no longer cleared on reset.
- Console can now receive key-strokes even while the simulator is
stopped (for single-stepping programs that require interaction)
- Updated screenshots with bug-fixed version.
The simulator now passes Klaus Dormann's 6502 Functional Test suite for
the first time.
Bug Fixes:
- PHP was not correctly setting the Break bit on the stack copy of the
processor status, so subsequent PLA's would not set the Break status
flag.
- The CPU had swapped NMI and IRQ reset vectors, so RTI was failing.
- BRK was pushing PC + 2 onto the stack, instead of PC + 1
- (Zero Page,X) addressing mode did not correctly wrap on zero page
boundaries.
- The instruction table used for disassembly had addressing modes
of LDA $B9 and $BD reversed. This did not affect behavior, only
disassembly of these instructions.
Other:
- Updated copyright date for 2013.
- Started migrating old JUnit 3 style tests to JUnit 4 annotations.
- The UI layout has changed, and will likely change again in the future.
- Symon can now re-load ROM images from the File menu, under "Load ROM..."
- Font size can be changed under the "View" menu
This is something of a "Work in Progress" checkpoint of several features
that are all half baked:
1. Allow loading of 16KB ROM files at address $C000 at run-time, not
just at startup. See the "Load ROM..." File menu item.
2. Introduces the notion of "CPU Behaviors", so the core 6502 CPU
implementation can match the behavior of either an early NMOS 6502, late
NMOS 6502, or CMOS 65C02. Very little of this is actually implemented so
far.
3. Adds a completely bogus implementation of the 6522 VIA (it
does absolutely nothing right now).
4. Changes the address of the ACIA in the simulated system to match a
real hardware implementation I put together.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed several bugs in the CPU that caused processor status flags to
be set incorrectly. Instructions affected were: STA, STX, STY, CMP,
CPX, CPY, BIT.
- Made some internal-use-only methods on the CPU class private.
- Fixed incorrect disassembly of (Indirect,X) and (Indirect),Y
instructions. Although this didn't affect behavior, it certainly
caused me some confusion in debugging.
- Added missing "BCS" instruction to instruction table.
Enhancements:
- Now includes a full version of Lee Davison's Enhanced 6502 BASIC
bundled as source code and a ROM image. Get that REAL COMPUTER
EXPERIENCE!(tm)
- If a file named "rom.bin" exists in the same directory where the
simulator is executed, it will be loaded at addresses $d000-$ffff.
- Gave the CPU an idle loop to make simulated timing a little more
realistic (but this is still an area needing major improvement)
- Changed the CPU's toString() method to give better debugging output.
- Added a small typeahead buffer to the Console.
- Better exception messaging.
Misc:
- Bumped version to 0.5, updated README.
- Added ability to change inner border width of console window.
- Fixed a nasty bug that prevented key press handling.
- Reset now clears the accumulator and index registers.
