LisaEm 1.2.0 is available for download right now, from the usual place:
http://lisaem.sunder.net/downloads.html
Many LisaEm users have complained that ROMs are too difficult to
extract. The new version of LisaEm solves this by allowing you to run
with out a ROM. If you wanted to try LisaEm, but couldn't because you
didn't have ROMs for it, now you can!
It emulates the functions of the Lisa Boot ROM as well as the Dual
Parallel Card without requiring a ROM, and allows you to boot into Lisa
Office System. If you've felt limited by only having a single
emulated Profile hard drive because you didn't have the Dual Parallel
ROM, the new version also emulates these, without requiring a ROM.
All you need is Lisa Office System and LisaEm.
As this is the first release of this feature, don't be surprised if you
encounter bugs. Please report any unexpected behavior so that I can fix
it. :-)
Additionally, I've added two movies that show how to install Lisa Office
System and MacWorks. (MacWorks still doesn't work properly on LisaEm
however.)

Lisa Emulator Change History
http://lisaem.sunder.net/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2007.09.19 - fixed romless floppy boot to always boot from floppy and not
switch to Profile.
2007.09.15 - debugging ROMless boot.
new bug: when trying to boot from floppy, if a profile exists
and is bootable, LOS starts up from the Profile instead of the
floppy.
2007.09.09 - David Cecchin's XPM icon in unix
2007.09.07 - added Save/Load PRAM to Preferences
- Quit now closes any open Preference window as well
2007.08.29 - libdc42 macbinii encoded dart to dc42 conversion bugfix
2007.08.16 - added LOS error codes to ROMless error handler
- fix raw screenshot crash
2007.08.13 - got both ROMless boot and ROMless dual parallel card to work
2007.08.06 - individual profile power controls + create new profile inside
a new menu named profile.
2007.07.28 - replaced all exit() and EXIT() calls with messages before
quitting emulator so at least we know what crashed.
2007.07.27 - ROMless works with both profile and floppy now.
- Fixed a bug with configuration saving.
2007.07.26 - Tracelog checkmark correction
2007.07.25 - added Zap PRAM button in main Preferences panel

New subject: [lisaem] LisaEm 1.2.2 released - bugfixes
LisaEm 1.2.2 has been released. As usual, it can be downloaded from
http://lisaem.sunder.net/downloads.html This version is mostly bug
fixes instead of features.
VIA and printing bugs have been addressed, as well as cleaning up the
code to allow compiling with Unicode enabled versions of wxWidgets,
which is important for Linux distributions, and the version of wxWidgets
included with OS X Leopard.
It is no longer necessary to manually flush print jobs, though you still
can. LisaEm now times printer output. If there's no activity to a
printer for 10* seconds, it will close the print job. If you are
sending LisaEm printouts to a PDF or PostScript file, it is still
important not to print out several jobs from within Lisa Office System
at the same time as LisaEm will see them as a single large job. (This
doesn't matter if you're printing to paper, or images.)
There are still some minor bugs in the ImageWriter emulation - the page
size isn't quite exactly what LOS expects it to be, so multipage jobs
tend to move the start of the page by several pixels.
I'm also cleaning up the Generator CPU code so that it can become its
own library, and will do the same for the ImageWriter code so that they,
along with libdc42 can be used in other emulation projects (i.e. for
example by Apple II, or Macintosh emulators.)
Other bugs may still, of course, exist, if you find any, please let me
know so that they can be fixed in future releases.
(* The 10 second value is relative to running the virtual Lisa at 5MHz,
running it at higher throttle values will speed up the waiting time.)

--- 1.2.2 Release
------------------------------------------------------------
2007.11.11 - changed printing so that it auto-flushes print jobs. Printing
works but the page size is slightly off so it tends to not line
up properly when more than one page is printed.
2007.11.10 - cleaning up build.sh script + source code
2007.11.08 - fixed slot preferences - browse buttons between high/low ports
were swapped.
- fixed parallel port u/l assignments - opposite from what
LOS uses
2007.11.02 - more via6522.c cleanup/fixes.
2007.10.18 - Renamed Profile menu to Parallel Port as it's more accurate
2007.10.15 - cleaning up Generator code so as to build it as its own library
2007.10.01 - looking into cleaning up unicode incompatibility bugs, rewrote
bunches and bunches of string routines and fixed up some
idiotic
char * <-> wxString gymnastics.
2007.09.25 - Looking into via6522 bugs for MacWorks and Xenix,
no luck there yet

New subject: [lisaem] LisaEm 1.2.5 released - more bug fixes
LisaEm 1.2.5 has been released. As usual, it can be downloaded from
http://lisaem.sunder.net/downloads.html.
This version, like the last is bug fixes. Mostly for the ImageWriter
printer emulation.
One option has been added to help balance the time given to the 68000
emulation versus display animation, which should help slower machines.
2007.11.22 - imagewriter - fixed page size - at least for LisaWrite
2007.11.21 - imagewriter lowercase letter "t" was broken
- imagewriter page size tweaking
2007.11.18 - found way to make graphics smoother, added menu options to
throttle menu to define balance between animation and CPU time.

New subject: [lisaem] LisaEm 1.2.6 released - video bug fixes
LisaEm 1.2.6 has been released. As usual, it can be downloaded from
http://lisaem.sunder.net/downloads.html.
This version, like the last few is all bug fixes - this time to the
video system.
2007.12.03 - fixed win32 rawbitmap issues, this should speed up the display
quite a bit. Linux rawbitmaps don't work yet, just show a
blank
white display.
2007.12.01 - fixed bugs on skinless on OS X. Issue with wxBitmap, it needed
to be filled in before using. Some update to wxWidgets changed
the default from the default being white, to an alpha
background
causing the whole display to fail to update at all since the
data inside the wxBitmap was invisible.
- bug report - libexpat was accidentally turned on in the OS X
version of LisaEm, this is not needed by LisaEm's use of
wxWidgets, it will be removed via --without-expat in
wxWidgets' configure script.
