http://www.winuae.net/ Το άριστο, έγινε ακόμα αριστότερο

Final beta before 1.0 (?)

Bug fixes:

- Regular HDF TD_GEOMETRY returned incorrect data. (caused some
larger HDF's fail to mount, 0.9.91 only)
- Filesystem bug fix (0.9.90-91), files with Windows
System or Hidden -flag set didn't open properly in all cases.
- Stardust starwars-scroller in cycle-exact mode.
- SuperStardust AGA tunnel-section and Superfrog intro bee flashing
plus other sprite emulation fixes.
- Random disk formatting verify errors when using non-turbo mode
(was broken couple of releases ago)
- Display corruption/crashes if display width was larger than 1024
and display depth was 32bit (only native display mode, Picasso96
was unaffected)
- Windowed mode window close button didn't work if "Use CTRL+F11
to quit" was enabled
- input-panel autofire yes/no-selection
- AVIOutput video recording bug in interlaced modes

New features:

- Filesystem emulation now uses NTFS named streams to store Amiga
FS protection flags and comment instead of __UAEFSDB.__-files.
(non-NTFS drives still use old method)
- Postscript printer emulation using Ghostscript. All Windows
supported printers work now. Amiga-side only needs standard Amiga
Postscript printer driver.
- Automatic print job flush after user configurable timeout.
- Improved hardfile creation, filesystem selection (OFS/FFS/SFS) etc..
- Disk swapper key shortcuts.
END+1-0 (not numeric keypad) = insert image from swapper slot 1-10
END+SHIFT+1-0 = insert image from swapper slot 11-20
END+CTRL+1-4 = select drive
- GUI drag'n'drop. (no more ugly up/down arrows)
- screenshots are now named _xxx.bmp
- user configurable emulation speed adjustment from 5 to 100 fps
- rar and 7zip -archive support (using archiveaccess.dll)
- some custom chipset emulation improvements here and there.
- improved drive click sound emulation
- X-Arcade build-in key mappings
- onscreen disk and HD leds flash red while writing
- "Always on top"-windowed mode setting

and more..

Beta 22:

- do not change priority if current priority is HIGH or REALTIME
- command line parameter parsing crash fixed
- added 5:4 aspect ratio to rtg and filter settings
- archiveaccess filename encoding fixed (b15)
- recursive archive support fixed (b15)
- added adf, rdb and hdf "archive" support. It is now possible to browse adf/hdf/dms/ipf/fdi/extended adf inside zip/lha/whatever archives when mounted as a harddrive (uaeunp.exe feature mainly)
- clipboard initialization should really be after dos initialization, should fix random "UAE clipboard sharing" crashes when booting
- debugger crash fixes (b15)

- 7z SDK updated to newer version, timestamps supported
- diskspare (12/24 sector) disk images supported, also includes "plain" adf files that have exact diskspare format size
- dragging to windowed mode HD-"led" forces harddrive mount (for example adf is mounted as a harddrive, normally dragging autodetects type and inserts adfs to disk drive)
- dragging file to harddrive panel also automounts it immediately if emulation is already running

[Scatman]

- debugger T command fixed (b15)
- JIT FPU bug, one addressing mode was wrong (b15)
- reset clears “native2amiga” command queue (it was possible to have command queued just before reset which would have been executed after reset -> random errors and crashes) [this caused the clipboard crash]

- add new empty adf files to disk history list
- added simple list devices, libraries and resources command to debugger (Td Tl Tr)
- log file long datestamps fixed

1.6.2 beta series. Bigger changes this time..

Beta 1: (too many changes, everything can break blahblah usual stuff)

- command line filename will be detected as a disk image if file don't have known extensions but is small enough and first 3 bytes contain "DOS" (previously detected as hardfiles..)
- check for windows messages more than once per frame, may reduce latency (in worst case it may increase power requirements..)
- marked DLLs that are rarely used/only in specific configurations as delay loaded, may make startup slightly faster
- inserting/ejecting USB input devices on the fly replaced all "" and all keyboard layouts with keyboard layout A (old bug)
- "Add PC drives at startup" does not anymore mount drives that are also configured as real harddrives
- real harddrive safetycheck modified, now all drives can be mounted as long as drive does not have any Windows mounted partitions. Any drive with one or more Windows mounted partitions are only available in read only mode. Command line parameter is now only needed if you want to add drives that have Windows mounted FAT partitions. Drives with NTFS partition(s) are never (there is a complex way..) allowed in read-write mode.
- SCSI (RDB hdf emulation) write commands return proper write protected sense status if hdf is read-only
- A590/A2091 SCSI ROM 7.0 was not accepted (debugging code..)
- RDB filesystem loader still had fse_PatchFlags hack instead of handling it 100% correctly (no functional change, at least with any popular filesystem)
- accept also partition type 0x30 (another Amithlon like RDB drive inside real PC partition)
- added new RTG configuration panel, more space for future options, also old RTG setting panel was not really in correct place anymore
- command line parsing handled quotes inside strings differently than Windows does when running from command line

- added bitplane DMA fetches to copper debugger (there will be separate DMA sequence "disassembler" in future)
- Agnus bitplane DMA behavior correctly emulated when number of planes or resolution changes mid screen. Old code (1.5x+) was totally wrong and too complex.. Now all my test statefiles work 100% correctly: Disposable Hero, Bass-O-Matic/Crusaders, Innovation Part 2/Axxis. Brian The Lion "dialog" screen is corrupted again but this seems to be AGA specific feature (SMD chips = no logic analyzer)

- CD32 CD controller emulation improved, CDXL animations should run more smoothly now, previously emulation couldn't load more than few sectors before CD32's cd driver detected error condition and retried
- added seek delays to CD32 emulation (CD32 drive has really slow seeks)
- CD32 Lotus Trilogy's Lotus 3 finally loads (stupid loader partially overwriting already loaded data if CD DMA "slot" sequencing is not exactly correct)
- CD32 CD audio moved to separate thread, no more emulator pausing when CD audio starts or track changes (possibly introduces other issues..)

- D3D 2D sprites (ID3DXSprite) used in D3D filter onscreen leds, correct positioning, no scaling and free transparency. Scanline texture also converted to 2D sprite, now works correctly with D3D filters (future plan: convert all DirectDraw code to D3D 2D sprites)
- OpenGL filter removed, totally obsolete now. Gone forever unless someone updates it. (including correct positioning and scaling)

- built-in WASAPI sound driver implemented. Replaces DirectSound if running on Vista or newer. WASAPI has two modes, shared and exclusive. Shared roughly equals old DirectSound, exclusive means sound card is exclusively used by WinUAE. Exclusive mode has lowest possibly latency but note that there may be only one or two supported sample rates (for example 48000). NOTE: buffer sizes can not be directly compared between different modes. PortAudio is now considered very unsupported (that didn't last long..) Needs tuning, not good enough yet (especially exclusive mode)
- distortion in sound was possible with short square wave samples (160)
- final 16-bit sound samples always had lowest bit (or two lowest bits) zero, now lowest bit(s) are duplicated from real lowest significant bit(s)
- programmed display modes had bad sound (161b4 sound update was not fully complete.. most stupid 1.6.1 bug so far)
- portaudio fallback code added, unsupported samplerate = try 44000, 48000 and default reported before disabling sound. Same with number of channels, unsupported channels = fall back to stereo

- Vista or newer: AvSetMmThreadCharacteristics() is used to enable task scheduling better suited for multimedia applications = more CPU time given without slowing down lower priority tasks (which can happen with normal priority settings)

WinUAE v1.6.2 Beta 2 changelog:
After many days of logic analyzer work, blitter should finally be 100% cycle-exact, even in line mode.
DMA emulation cycle-exactness is greatly improved, most vector routines that had slowdowns, flickering or graphics garbage should work perfectly now (even Los Huivos/Virtual Dreams doubleglenz work, this has shown only major graphics garbage previously)
There are still some that won't still work or work even worse, these could be caused by CPU emulation timing errors (even single cycle difference in single instruction that is used regularly enough can make the difference)
"Standard test" programs still not working: Rampage/TEK, Hulkamania/TSP (and left border garbage in one part of Absolute Inebriation/VD, reason is known but I am not sure how to implement the fix)
- "DMA cycle debugger", v [] lists selected scanline's DMA activity, hpos, custom register, data, address. This made compatibility testing much easier. (just compare this data to logic analyzer data) Second row can contain extra characters: N = blitter cycle given for CPU, b = blitter interrupt, B = blitter finished. (not necessarily exactly same thing)
- chipset bitplane/copper/blitter cycle exact mode DMA sequence routines rewritten. Emulation may be slower due to some missing optimizations. Later.
- blitter cycle diagrams rechecked with logic analyzer, errors fixed
- CPU emulation fixes, lsl/asl/ror and friends had wrong cycle counts. bclr/bset/bchg are 2 cycles shorter if bit number is less than 16 (16-31 = add extra cycles) and more. Lots of testing to do..
- WASAPI sample format fallback didn't work correctly
- command line parser now really works exactly like Windows console
- added "win32.exec_before" and "win32.exec_after" configuration entries, "before" command is run when emulation starts, "after" when emulation shuts down or before another config is loaded. Multiple commands can be separated with ';'. Waits until command returns (=waits forever if program never exits..)
- interlace artifact removal works again (b1)
- automatically handle split dms files. If extracted data is only about half of standard DD disk and if file name is "*a.dms", attempts to open and merge "*b.dms" with already unpacked data
- do not enumerate openal recording devices
