EmuCR: x16-emulatorx16-emulator r39 is released. This is an emulator for the Commander X16 computer system. It only depends on SDL2 and should compile on all modern operating systems.

x16-emulator changelog:
Main differences:
Switch to Proto2 Hardware
banking through zp addresses 0 and 1
modified I/O layout
modified VIA GPIO layout
support for 4 controllers
I2C bus with SMC and RTC/NVRAM
ROM Changes:
SD card and banked LOAD fixes
320x240 framebuffer (mode $80/128)
80x30,40x60,40x30,40x15,20x30,20x15 text modes
more powerful keyboard APIs
full SNES-like keyboard joystick
BASIC LOCATE
CodeX Interactive Assembly Environment
macOS emulator is now universal Intel/ARM, Windows emulator is now 64 bit
Compatibility notes: You'll need to update your code if you
changed ROM or RAM banks by writing VIA registers (it's $00/$01 now)
accessed VIAs directly (different location)
used SCREEN or JOY in BASIC, the API has changed
used screen_set_mode, the API has changed
used the floating point Math library, the API has changed
See the Programmer's Reference Guide for details.
