2) VIC fixes including the adjustment of the Sprite Y Expansion and the charactor display logic. The following demos are fixed. "Destruction" by Dream, "Spice Up Your Life" by Triad and "Parados"
1) Added options to create and save either 35 or 40 tracks to a D64 file.
2) Added track align option for creating and loading D64 files.
3) Added command line options. example:
hoxs64.exe -quickload -alignd64tracks -autoload "c:gamesgames.d64" 5
This will auto quick load program 6 from the file games.d64. Aligned tracks will be used.
1) Fixed overlapping IRQ and NMI timing. The Flexible demo part 3 flicker is fixed.
2) Fixed sound noise bug caused by an incorrectly truncated floating-point number.
1.0.5.10:
1) Fixed SounDemon's sid emulation compatibility that was broken in the previous release.
2) Adjusted memory-reset pattern. An optional memory pattern file called c64.ram has been added. The file was sampled and extrapolated from the memory-reset pattern of a C64C. If the c64.ram file is missing then a default pattern is generated.
1.0.5.9:
1) Fixed disk head movement while motor is off bug that was introduced in v1.0.5.0. The LogosLand 2 demo works again.
2) The disk ROM is updated from 1541C to 1541-II. The game Kangarudy II works.
3) Adjusted SID oscillator register $D41B to read a one cycle delay as per an 8580 SID.
4) Adjusted memory reset pattern. The game Snow Queen and the demo Typical / Beyond The Force
works.
5) Fixed assertion failure while performing a reset in debug mode.
6) Fixed long standing internal "first chance exception" whilst querying the application version.
1) The memory requirement of the Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters is reduced without compromising sound quality. There is increased performace of the 50.12Hz mode for machines with relatively small L2 caches.
2) Added choice of two 50.12Hz modes. The large FIR mode performs best on large L2 caches such as 4Mb. The multistage FIR mode performs best on smaller L2 caches.

1) IRQ timing adjusted. VIA timers adjusted. SID and CPU register fade adjusted. The following titles will now work:- "Locomotion", "Aurora 90%", "The Addams Family" and "Star Expedition"
1.0.4.21:
1) Fixed bug introduced in the previous version to the D64/G64/New disk insertion that
loads tracks into both the whole track and halftrack position.
2) 1541 ROM changed to a 1541C revision 2 to cure a half track miss-alignment issue that
prevents the correct saving to an inserted floppy following an attempted save with no
floppy inserted.
1.0.4.20:
1) Numerous 1541 emulation fixes. The demo Intoxication by Singular and game Starflight
now work.
2) Fixes to the VIC border unit and background colours. The demos LCP_memories and Skaaneland
by Fairlight now display correctly.
1) Minor adjustment to the VIC under-border background colour logic. The "1993" part of "Totally Stoned 2" by Booze Design is now pixel exact as seen on a real C64C.
1) Adjustment to the VIC sprite Y expand register. The game Flying Shark now displays correctly.
2) Adjustment to the CIA serial shift register to raise the initial byte complete IRQ after 15 timer underflows instead of 16 timer underflows. The game Athena now displays correctly.

1.0.4.15:
1) Fixed restore key freeze bug introduced in v1.0.4.12.
1.0.4.14:
1) Added 25 pixel sprite feature used in the "Krestage 3" Demo by Crest. The demo will now run unpatched.
2) Bug fix to broken sprite timing introduced in v1.0.4.12 that was noticed in the "Royal Arte" Demo By Booze Design
1) Added disk image, T64 and SID file inspector to the Auto Load dialog box.
2) Added Quick Load to the Auto Load dialog box for fast loading PRG files from a CBM DOS disk image.
3) Minor adjustment to the SID noise waveform. The California Games title music drums now plays correctly.
4) Bug fix to the "Save As D64" option that guessed the wrong speed zone of a track which resulted in a corrupted saved D64. The default speed zones are now assumed during a "Save As D64".
5) ROMs are searched for in the following order. The folder of the executable. The current system path.

Clicking, ticking and popping noises have been removed from the following sid tunes: Sheep In Space, Sidewinder II, Brutal_Techno.sid by S. Bachliński (Moog) & Jetan
2) The combined waveforms have been adjusted.
3) Minor VIC-II fixes have been made. Several stray black pixels have been removed from the bottom right of the "kiss" screen in +H2K demo by Plush. White flickering pixels have been removed from the sprite multiplexer hidden screen in Krestage by Crest.
22 January 2005 v1.0.4.7
========================
1) Sound bug fix to "resampling" mode.
22 January 2005 v1.0.4.6
========================
1) Added SID "resampling" and "down sampling" options to the emulation settings page.
Previous versions implemented down sampling only. Resampling introduces less noise but
requires significantly more CPU power than down sampling. Resampling is off by default.
16 January 2005 v1.0.4.5
====================
1) The length of time taken to reset the noise waveform via the "test bit" has been set to 7 seconds. Version 1.0.4.2 and lower never reset the noise waveform. Version 1.0.4.3 accommodated the SounDemons emulation detector test by introducing a reset delay that took a tiny fraction of a second. As a result some noise bases sid files will play correctly as they did in version 1.0.4.2
16 January 2005 v1.0.4.4
====================
1) Version 1.0.4.3 may suffer poor performance on a host CPU with L2 cache 256Kb or less. The interpolation filter kernel size has now been slightly reduced to restore performance.
2) The sprite collision timing has been delayed by two pixels. As a result, Emu-Fuxx0r V1 compatibility has been added in addition to existing Emu-Fuxx0r V2 compatibility.
** General
----------
- Fixed "RESTORE key works only once" bug.
- Fixed compilation with GCC4.
** C64 changes
--------------

- Fixed crash if settings are saved.
- Fixed some Gnome1 annoyances (popup menus in status bar)
- Rework of gnome save media (screenshot) dialog
- Xaw Statusbar fixes and improvements (new buttons for recording).
- An experimental patch for Gnome2/Gtk2 support is available (See website). Vice-1.19 will be the last Gnome1/Gtk1 version officially supported.
The Gnome2/Gtk2 version is known to work on state-of-the-art Linux distributions (e.g. Fedora Core 4). See also src/arch/unix/x11/gnome/TODO
** MS-Windows changes
---------------------
- Added "always on top" option.
** MS-DOS changes
-----------------
- The experimental netplay feature has been extended to MS-DOS for testing.
** Miscellaneous changes
------------------------
- Added various new screenshot formats.
- Improved the image content lister to display at least the first part of a circular directory listing.
- Made the tape routines able to cope with non-standard header sizes.
1) Corrected delayed response of the SID wave feedback register $D418. Improved combined SID wave forms emulation. SounDemons "Waveform Composer" emulation detection test now passes.
2) Added Pete Rittwage's weak bit handling to the 1541 drive emulation as required by
some copy protected disk images.
11 January 2005 v1.0.4.1
========================
1) Fixed GPF in Insert New Blank Disk.
2) Disk write protection bug fix.
11 January 2005 v1.0.4.0
========================
1) Disk file support is expanded to include Vincent Joguin's FDI (Flexible Disk Image)
and G64 (Raw GCR Binary). G64 files can be loaded but not saved. FDI files can be both
loaded and saved. FDI support is limited to the Raw Pulse Stream Tracks format.
2) Non standard track layout D64 files are loaded more correctly but will save only as
FDI. Standard track layout D64 files will save as normal.
3) The 1541 emulation is enhanced to support bitwise resolution of disk tracks. Magnetic
disk pulses are specified to a resolution of 16Mhz. No more than one pulse can be
specified with in the same 1Mhz band arc of any track. G64 files effectively specify a
bit resolution between 0.3Mhz and 0.25Mhz depending on the speed zone setting.
4) The 1541 floppy disk controller emulation includes all relevant internal counters
and shift registers.
5) 1541 VIA port latching and handshaking is now emulated.
6) Improved handling of disk protect sensor while swapping disks.
