PockEmul 2.10.1 Patch Release Announcement

Dear PockEmul fans,

I am pleased to announce the release of PockEmul 2.10.1, a patch release addressing the issues you reported in version 2.10.0.

I had promised a corrective release within 15 days, and I am happy to say that, for once, I managed to meet that deadline.

What’s fixed in version 2.10.1

  • Major instability issues with the HP‑71B and its HP‑IL loop
  • External ROM module (.mod) loading on the HP‑41 was not working on Android
  • Various Elektronika MK‑90 issues
  • Improved Kana character handling in the Keyboard Simulator
  • Casio AI‑1000: Kana key was not working
  • New condensed skin for the HP‑82163A
  • The venerable CE‑126P had a bug in its “Export as text” feature, confusing the letter ‘O’ with the digit zero

HP‑71B Stability Issues – Ongoing Fixes and Temporary Purchase Suspension

I am truly sorry, but the HP‑71B currently appears to be very unstable. Sometimes everything works perfectly with its HP‑IL extensions, and sometimes even running a simple BASIC program causes a crash.

I am working on this issue immediately in order to fix this instability as quickly as possible.

I plan to release version 2.10.1, including fixes for the most blocking bugs, within the next 15 days. I hope to have this instability resolved by then.

In the meantime, I have of course disabled the purchase of the HP‑71B package.

For subscribers, please do not hesitate to report any issues you encounter with the HP‑71B or other components.

You can be assured of my full commitment to tracking down and fixing all malfunctions. That said, I remain realistic: PockEmul is an extremely complex application, and there will always be edge cases.

Thank you to the community for your understanding.

For PockEmul fans on iOS

PockEmul 2.10.0 has just been released.

Unfortunately, for iOS users (iPhone and iPad), the app is still awaiting approval from Apple since several days.

I’m truly sorry for this delay, which is completely beyond my control.

If you own a Mac, you can already install PockEmul 2.10.0 for macOS. It can be activated even if you are still using PockEmul 2.9.2 on your mobile device.
