Tests to be performed prior to a new release of Atari800DC
|
|
==========================================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
General:
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
- Before burning a CD it's advisable to run most of the tests by other
|
|
means (e.g. loading the new version with 'dc-tool'). After all tests
|
|
are passing, burn a CD and run at least all the tests which require
|
|
access to the host file system again, and run the CD-only tests.
|
|
|
|
- Unless otherwise stated, the tests assume "computer mode", not "5200
|
|
mode".
|
|
|
|
- Run the new version, play around in the menus, and run your
|
|
favourite Atari programs. If something is strange, compare with the
|
|
PC version of Atari800 and/or a real Atari.
|
|
|
|
- Check new features and/or bug fixes since the previous version.
|
|
|
|
- Check "about" menus ("About the Emulator", "About AtariDC") for
|
|
correct information (typically copyright year and version) and
|
|
layout.
|
|
|
|
- Check that Atari800DC specific menu entries are present and working:
|
|
main menu:
|
|
-> "About AtariDC"
|
|
"Display settings":
|
|
-> "Double buffer video data"
|
|
-> "Emulator video mode"
|
|
-> "Display video mode"
|
|
-> "Screen position configuration"
|
|
"Controller configuration":
|
|
-> "Joystick/D-Pad configuration"
|
|
-> "Button configuration"
|
|
|
|
- Check "autorun" feature
|
|
For each of "autorun.com", "autorun.exe", "autorun.atr" have it as
|
|
the only 'autorun.*' file in the root directory of the
|
|
CD(-image). Check that each of them is automatically started at
|
|
boot. ("autorun.com" and "autorun.exe" are just regular AtariDOS
|
|
program files, the extension doesn't/shouldn't make any
|
|
difference. "autorun.atr" is a bootable disk image.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
On-screen keyboard:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
- Check that if leaving emulator menu or on-screen keyboard UI by
|
|
pressing 'B' doesn't insert a 'START' console button press (use
|
|
e.g. Berzerk or ROM self test).
|
|
- leave emulator menu
|
|
- leave onscreen keyboard
|
|
|
|
- Check that the keyboard emulation works within the emulator menu
|
|
("Load State" or "Save State" and enter a file name).
|
|
|
|
- Test button overrides ("Controller Configuration"->"Button
|
|
Configuration").
|
|
Assign keys to all controller buttons (B, X, Y).
|
|
- check that the keys are generated on button presses (e.g. in the
|
|
BASIC editor)
|
|
- check that the now inaccessible "START", "SELECT", or "OPTION"
|
|
keys can be injected via the on-screen keyboard (e.g. in the ROM
|
|
self test or River Raid)
|
|
- try more than one injection (for each of "SELECT" and "OPTION"
|
|
and "START")
|
|
- check that the injected key gets released (e.g. River Raid)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Emulator menu:
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
- Check auto-repeat (up/down/left/right on d-pad) in emulator menu.
|
|
(Currently there is no auto-repeat when using a keyboard, that's a
|
|
KOS problem.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Controllers:
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
- Check that the controller D-Pad works.
|
|
- Check that the controller Joystick works.
|
|
- Check that reverting X and Y axes both work ("Controller
|
|
configuration"->"Joystick/D-Pad configuration"->"Reverse ...
|
|
axis").
|
|
- Check that disabling D-Pad and disabling Joystick works ("Controller
|
|
configuration"->"Joystick/D-Pad configuration"->...).
|
|
- Check unplugging/replugging controllers:
|
|
- there shouldn't be a crash/reboot
|
|
- try in the emulation, in the emulator menu, and in the on-screen
|
|
keyboard
|
|
- disconnecting and reconnecting the leftmost controller to a
|
|
different port (still being the leftmost controller) should keep
|
|
it accessible and the "main" controller/port #1 (in emulation,
|
|
emulator menu, and on-screen keyboard)
|
|
- Check paddle emulation ("Controller configuration"->"Emulate
|
|
Paddles") with e.g. "Super Breakout"
|
|
- Keyboard
|
|
- boot with keyboard connected and check if it works (BASIC and
|
|
emulator menu)
|
|
- disconnect and reconnect (to a different port) and check if it
|
|
still works (BASIC and emulator menu)
|
|
- boot with keyboard disconnected, then connect, and see if it works
|
|
- disconnect and reconnect (to a different port) and check if it
|
|
still works (BASIC and emulator menu)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Config file:
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
- Add/modify DC specific entries to atari800.cfg (DISPLAY_X_ADJUST and
|
|
DISPLAY_Y_ADJUST)
|
|
- check that they are used after bootup
|
|
- Check that double buffering ("Display Settings"->"Double buffer
|
|
video data") is enabled/disabled according to the config file
|
|
setting (DOUBLE_BUFFERING).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Load/Save state:
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
VMU:
|
|
|
|
- Start a game and play it for some time and then enter emulator menu
|
|
and select "Save State".
|
|
- enter "TAB" (via the on-screen keyboard or a connected keyboard
|
|
controller) and select the VMU ('/vmu')
|
|
- enter a new file name (again via the on-screen or a real keyboard)
|
|
and press "return" (on-screen or real keyboard)
|
|
- select a VMU with enough free space (currently a "save file"
|
|
requires ~ 76 blocks)
|
|
- check that a "please wait" message appears while saving
|
|
- reboot DC and and enter VMU menu
|
|
- check that the state file is present
|
|
- the description should be "<atari800 version number> saved
|
|
state"
|
|
- the icon should show the Atari "fuji" logo
|
|
- the file name should be the same as the one entered
|
|
- reboot DC into Atari800DC
|
|
- enter emulator menu and load the just saved state
|
|
- check that a "please wait" message appears while loading
|
|
- exit emulator menu and check that the game continues at the
|
|
point where it was saved
|
|
- select a VMU with not enough free space
|
|
- check that an error message appears
|
|
- reboot DC and and enter VMU menu
|
|
- check that the state file is not present and the free space
|
|
on the VMU hasn't decreased
|
|
|
|
RAMDISK:
|
|
|
|
- Start a game and play it for some time and then enter emulator menu
|
|
and select "Save State".
|
|
- enter "TAB" (via the on-screen keyboard or a connected keyboard
|
|
controller) and select the ramdisk ('/ram')
|
|
- enter file name (e.g '/ram/saved') and press "return"
|
|
- load a different program
|
|
- enter emulator menu and load the just saved state
|
|
- check that the game continues at the point where it was saved
|
|
|
|
|
|
R: device emulation:
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
- Connect DC to peer with serial ("Coder's Cable") cable.
|
|
- Check that R: device emulation is enabled in Atari800DC ("Emulator
|
|
Configuration"->"R: device ...").
|
|
- Check that the serial connection is working (e.g. by using terminal
|
|
programs on both sides).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sound:
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
- Check sound synchronization/speed
|
|
- Use "MULE" and watch the title screen. The third voice should
|
|
start when the mule is just beneath the "L".
|
|
|
|
|
|
Video:
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
- Check VGA and composite monitor. Screen should be centered and
|
|
"good".
|
|
- Check speed (no jitter):
|
|
- Enable double buffering if it isn't enabled.
|
|
- Load "Boulder Dash" and run through the first screen as fast as
|
|
possible.
|
|
- There shouldn't be any jitter in PAL mode. NTSC mode will have
|
|
some jitter.
|
|
- Check both composite and VGA.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CD-only tests:
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
- Boot from CD and start some program/game
|
|
- Open the CD tray
|
|
- Emulator should enter the emulator menu
|
|
- Insert a different CD
|
|
- Check that the content of the new CD is there
|
|
- Load program/disk image from new CD
|
|
- Check that the file is loaded correctly (emulator runs the new
|
|
file).
|
|
- Open the CD tray at random times
|
|
- There should never be a crash/hang.
|
|
- If not in any emulator menu, the emulator menu should be entered.
|
