At the end of the old year there is another fine-tuning update for the PDP-8/E Simulator:
Now you can option-click the Unmount button of the TU55 and RK05 drives to save a copy of the mounted DECtape or DECpack with an other file format, so the simulator now has a built-in format converter for DECtape and RK05 disk images. The graphics in the Help items of the simulator are now resolution independent and dark mode compatible; until now that have been the low-res JPEGs from the 1.x version. Some code cleanup and replacement of deprecated APIs. The simulator is now compiled with Xcode 15.1 and the macOS 14.2 SDK. Additionally the usual removal of typos and other little bugs.
As always, you can download the new version from https://www.bernhard-baehr.de/pdp8e/pdp8e.html.
I wish you all the best for the new year 2024.
