Fantastic work! Congrats!

stepleton:
Congratulations!! This will be huge for people who want to try making Lisa software. It's going to be a lot easier to experiment with the ToolKit now.

Thanks guys. I'll clean up the source after work and start rolling back the 32 bit to 24 bit tonight, if it still works fine in 24 bit mode, I won't pursue fixing the high byte of PC anymore, though it might turn out that uniplus or xenix might be using that, I think macworks should be since it's not 32 bit clean, but the unix ones don't work due to profile/floppy emulation anyway, so I won't mess with that until after 1.2.7 production is released (likely mid-end of this month the way things are going.)

After that, going to take a break before starting on 2.0 as I've got a huge backlog of physical Lisa projects such as power supply recapping and fixing NiCAD damaged boards, etc.

But yeah, will see about picking up things to make it easier to automate using LPW without directly interacting with it as one of the early features. Some of those will likely make it into a 1.2.8 before I start bringing back the libGen core from 1.3.0 and rerunning the CPU tests against it.

Took a month to get through this batch of CPU tests, but I'm glad it worked out, and now I can reuse them on the 1.3.0 core which will add a lot more features for debugging as well, which might be useful in reversing LOS - unless ofc, AEK releases the sources before I finish that off, etc. :) But yeah, I think the odds are that AEK will be able to use 1.2.7 for his efforts before 2.0 gets shipped since there are a lot of features there, like splitting up the emulator proper from the GUI.
This should also open up other fun avenues like a maybe a QT or native macos versions or a wasm version of lisaem eventually.

Did you guys see these - they're desktop emus made from emscripten recompiles of Basillisk II (not sure about the windows one), but talk about coming full circle, from desktop emu in C to web emu and back to desktop app. :)

Really fantastic news! And this opens up a lot of opportunities for the future, as you well know.  ;D

So I was curious to see if fixing "The Bug" would help MacWorks, and it did, somewhat.

It Macworks started to work for a bit, I tried 3.0 and 4.5, they now both format the hard drive and install on it, *however* trying to boot from the hard drive causes a sad mac with f0004 or something like that, so there is some improvement, but not enough to get it working again. I'll revisit this later.

Booting from the boot disk after the hard drive is installed also causes the same sadmac.

Also trying to format a disk larger than 10MB causes it to run a very long time and estimate 0mins and 0 seconds so perhaps earlier versions of MacWorks don't work too well with larger drives, but that's less of a concern.
