Client Release 2.06 – https://evolutioninteractive.com/applesauce/Applesauce_206.zip

The major code refactoring/modernization effort has continued with this release. Lots of improvements all over, but a huge feature coming out of this work is what I call the “curiosity engine”. Previously, the disk analyzer only really detected copy protections and other abnormalities via finding unusual structures or errors at the raw sector level. While much of that is still happening in the same way, the curiosity engine now performs an analysis of the disk along with the help of…

Client Release 2.0 – https://evolutioninteractive.com/applesauce/Applesauce_200.zip The Applesauce client version 2.0 is finally here! After many months of work refactoring, rebuilding, and modernizing the low-level foundations of Applesauce it is all back together and working better than ever. Even though a lot of work went into supporting the upcoming Applesauce+ hardware, I didn’t forget about all of you existing users and have lots of improvements in this release. NEW FIRMWARE 2.76 Current Applesauce units (all revisions) have a new firmware version…

The Applesauce Floppy Disk Controller Client Software has been updated. The latest update includes a number of important bug fixes including the following items: Client Release 1.82 – https://evolutioninteractive.com/applesauce/Applesauce_182.zip

The major feature of this release is the inclusion of a system to allow users to create their own disk format definitions to be used by Applesauce. There is now an Applesauce folder in your user’s Documents folder where files will be stored that can expand the features of the client program. Within the Formats folder, you will find two files: hardsector_config.json and ibmsector_config.json. You can use these files to create new hard sector disk formats as well as formats…

This is a huge new release mainly focused at support for the revision 2 Applesauce hardware, but with lots of new stuff for owners of current hardware. The new hardware adds support for working with drives using the standard 34-pin interface (most PC drives). The A2R format used by Applesauce has also been updated to version 3.0 in this release. Lots of new features in the updated format like support for hard sectored disks. But please note that the new…

The theme of this release is Searching. A new Find command has been added to the Disk Analyzer. It will allow you to search Nibble Streams, Sectors, Blocks, and Files for Hex or Text strings. The Hex search also supports wildcards by replacing any nybble with a ? character (ex: D5 A? 96) Text search is case insensitive and supports Apple II high bit characters. For nibble searches, you can add a + character to require that hidden timing bits…

This release is mainly cleanup of the current bug list. Please watch your step, lots of squashed bugs around here. Maybe a new feature or two as well. Added file system support for Lisa Monitor. Preliminary support for loading DiscFerret DFI images for single-sided 5.25 disks. Improved geometry calculations for disks that lie about sector numbers. Improved data repair by looking at more neighboring tracks. Fixed: Flux Imager saving could sometimes encounter errors when saving as illegal filenames, and then…

Just thought I’d say Happy Holidays to everyone here as well as share an Applesauce update. I don’t come on to Facebook much these days as I have been in the midst of a multi-month long move. But I have been knocking away on the Applesauce client whenever I have had the free chance. I just released version 1.41 today and 1.40 last week. Anyway, here are a list of the more important changes: There are a tremendous number of…

This has been a big hunk of work! I have completely reworked large portions of the low-level architecture of the Applesauce Floppy Disk Controller client software. The first fruit of this endeavor is that if you have an Apple SuperDrive, you can now image High Density (1.44MB) disks! The Fast and Flux Imagers for 3.5 disks supports imaging 1.44M and 720K disks with an Apple SuperDrive. If you are Fast Imaging non-Apple disks (like MS-DOS), then you can save them…

Just released Applesauce 1.32! This version allows you to open up and examine files on disk images (including resource forks for IIgs and Mac). Integer and Applesoft BASIC files can be displayed as detokenized source (including fancy REM text tricks). CP/M is now fully supported. Also new track location code to help determine tricky disk layouts. Tons of small improvements and fixes. You can update the Applesauce Floppy Disk Controller Client Software from within Applesauce or by downloading it from…

The new Applesauce client 1.1 has been released! This is a huge update with lots of new features all over the app. The biggest work has been around .woz generation. The 3.5″ woz generation is now complete, including the ability to write copy protected images back to floppy! The 5.25 woz generation is spitting out functioning files, but still has a good amount of work left to do. Also, 3.5″ sync sensors are now available for purchase from the Order…
