C64/C16/Plus4: ChiCLI 1.02 :: AEP Emulation Page - Emulation News

Added: Support for FD-2000 and FD-4000 drives.
Added: Support for 1571 and 1570 drives.
Added: Support for the VICE FS Driver 2.0 which currently does not support the local DOS copy command. But you can still copy from another device into a VICE FS device and vice-versa.
Added: A command, "1571", to put the drive into single-sided or double-sided mode.
Added: Compatibility for Pi1541 by waiting just a little longer for it to reset when doing drive detection.
Added: A new mode to the help command for hardware, which searches a separate hardware file. To use it type: "help 1581 -h" and it will output specific support information for the 1581.
Updated: Usability is better now. The commands: cd, d##?:, d##:, and copy, all accept d08: d08; or d08[, which means that muscle memory between using VICE on a PC and using a real Commodore 64 is the same.
Updated: The command "chirp" and "sysinfo" now produce a more authentic Commodore PET and Commodore PC style startup chime.
Updated: The command "chirp" and "sysinfo" now also produce almost in-tune chimes on PAL. I say almost because using stretch tuning on the highest note doesn't work, because PAL systems can't go that high in terms frequency.
Updated: The SID detection works a little more flexibly. It now doesn't hang when there is no SID installed, or if a non-standard SID is installed, such as the modern ARMSID.
Updated: The overall hardware detection now gracefully only displays basic information when it can't reliably determine the machine's details. For example it will show things like SID and VIC-II without any more details.
Updated: The sysinfo command so that it detects from device 8 to 15.
Updated: The sysinfo command now has nicer looking output, starting at the top and working it's way down, without leaving any empty lines.
Updated: The type command no longer tries to type CBM "files" which are actually 1581 partitions.
Updated: The type command so that you can force outputting as if the file were a program file. You can also use just one letter for the option.
Updated: The driveset command now supports changing the device number for the following devices: 1541, SD-2, SD2IEC, CMD HD, 1570, 1571, 1581.
Note: There are now, technically, 64 commands, which is fitting.
