What's New:
- Added support for eXoDOS V6 and V6r2. While both the convertor and importer have been improved, using the importer has advantages; it has the ability to import the custom DOSBox versions that come with eXoDOS, creates filter tabs for Playlists and can import the Media Pack Add-On and soundfonts. Both applications now work on Mac and Linux systems as well. More details can be found in section Game collection management.
- Added support for the IBM Music Feature Card, in the profile editor (Neville).
- Slovakian translation update by Tomas K.
- Implemented a workaround for strange zipfile check which prevented certain GamePackArchives from being imported on modern Java versions (charliemcd).
- implemented another workaround for SWT bug resulting in broken artwork on Linux (LewisWoolridge).
- Allow parent directories to be considered relative, if configured as such (red_avatar).
- Display image dimensions in thumb dialog title (red_avatar).
- Fixed a few crash bugs: when DOSBox dynamic options are somehow invalid (red_avatar), when editing an imgmount with fstype=none or when creating a filter with a very lengthy condition.
- Updated multiple Java libraries, most importantly SWT which now requires Java 17 !

trs80gp primarily emulates the "gray" line of TRS-80 computers made by Tandy in the late 1970s and early 1980s. They are known as the Model I, Model II, Model III, Model 4, Model 4P, Model 4D, Model 12, Model 16 and Model 6000. It is generally easier to use ordinary digits for the Model 1, Model 2 and Model 3. The Model 1, 3 and 4 are a line of compatible computers as is the Model 2, 12, 16 and 6000.
Also emulated are the TRS-80 Micro Color Computer Model MC-10, TRS-80 Color Computer, TRS-80 DT-1 Data Terminal, TRS-80 Videotex and Electric Crayon external colour display.
The emulator runs on Windows from XP all the way up to Windows 11. Included in the download are versions for MacOS, Linux and Raspberry Pi. They may not be at full feature parity with the Windows version but the emulator runs just fine under Wine. It should run well on any machine produced in the past decade.
trs80gp provides accurate and near complete emulation with excellent programmer support.
