WinUAE (Amiga Emu) ~ Thread

[Scatman]

- most debugger options now accept .b, .w and .l size extension (+special .3 if 3-byte word), old style separate size values (1, 2, 3 or 4) not supported anymore
- debugger 'w' memory freeze mode improved, now also works with copper writes, word and long size freeze values work properly
- fixed right border corruption when horizontal centering enabled
- filesystem access problems fixed (b2, forgotten test code..)
- another "too fast CPU" hack re-added to audio code
- quickstart "disk image requires ks2.0+" message ignored A3000/A4000/CD32 configurations
- skip DMAL emulation in JIT modes
- rawinput supports rawinput packets that have zero scancode but virtual keycode set or null device handle (for example some software injected keys and some keyboard media keys), packets with null device handle are redirected to new "winuae null keyboard"

Major updates in CD related options, IOCTL access, built-in image mounter, CD32, CDTV, uaescsi.device (I started to clean up this mess and I couldn't stop ) :

- cd rom image and IOCTL handling rewritten, unified toc and subchannel data structures
- cd drive/image selection added to harddrives panel (quickstart duplicate, temporary location until real CD selection panel is done.. if ever..) Use this to switch images and drives on the fly, report if switching causes crashes or weird behavior. NOTE: only unit 0 supported in uaescsi.device mode, other units are immediately put to "no disk" state when this option is used for the first time.
- quickstart/harddrives CD "image mode" selected with blank select box: enable image drive without media
- always use IOCTL in CD32/CDTV modes
- only enumarate SPTI devices when uaescsi.device is enabled
- subchannel support added to IOCTL CDROM handling (CD+G)
- CloneCD (.ccd) CD image file support added, including subchannel files
- CD32 CD subchannel DMA channel emulated, CD+G audio CDs supported
- CD32 CD end of play notification only worked if play command was last packet sent
- many CD32 and CDTV on the fly drive/image/media change updates again
- CDTV statefile support added
- CDTV 6525 (CIA-like 3-port IO chip/interrupt controller) emulation rewritten
- CDTV CD subchannel hardware emulated (CD+G, see notes below)
- added CDTV front panel CD player buttons to input event list (they directly control CD mechanism and they are the only buttons that work in CD+G mode)
- "regular" CDTV remote Play/Stop/etc.. input events emulate front panel buttons when CD drive receives enable front panel command, sends "normal" keycodes when frontpanel is disabled
- simple SCSI emulation added to image mounter in uaescsi.device mode (no CD audio support yet) simple means: CDFS in SCSI mode should work with mounted images now, nothing more. (TEST UNIT READY, READ [6,10,12], READ TOC, INQUIRY, READ CAPACITY emulated. Audio CD commands will be implemented in later betas)
- added SCSI emulation option to SCSI GUI panel, enables SCSI emulation when using real drives
- uaescsi.device mounted image file changed without CMD_ADDCHANGEINT or CMD_REMOVE media change interrups: use long 8 second media change delay (CDFS default poll time is ~5s)

CD+G notes: (This is the second most useless and stupid feature ever, only thing that can have bigger time wasted/pointlessness ratio will be CD32 FMV cartridge..)

Some subchannel packets will be lost if emulation slows down too much.
CD+G confirmed working, CD+MIDI should also work but not tested.

CD32 CD+G mode starts automatically, button also in main audio CD screen.

CDTV needs extra steps: In audio CD player screen select "TV/Keyboard" icon in bottom right corner, then press front panel Play-button, only front panel buttons are accepted at this point. NOTE: CDTV CD+G does not (yet) work in cycle-exact mode.

CD32 and CDTV do not correctly handle all CD+G discs, it seems both miss first few subchannel packets at the beginning.. Confirmed on real CD32 and CDTV. They do work in emulation if playback start position is about 1s earlier than asked but this hack is disabled because it can cause cd audio sync issues in games.

[Scatman]

- version number bumped to 2.3
- few lines of non-filter scanlines was missing in bottom part of display
- audio DMA start interrupt is now immediate after starting DMA in too fast CPU modes (normally when audio state changes to 5), fixes EasyACDDA hang. Seems to be yet another audio.device bug when CPU and memory is "too fast"..

More CD related changes and updates:

- unified CD32/CDTV CD unit allocation, also internal unit number is always zero = GUI CD media change now work as expected
- CDTV frontpanel Stop now quits frontpanel/CD+G mode correctly
- added more obsolete SCSI commands: PLAY AUDIO TRACK RELATIVE (10) and (12) and PLAY AUDIO (12) (10-byte version was added in b4)
- CDTV subchannel hardware interrupt timing improved, CD+G works in cycle-exact mode now
- cd configuration code cleanups
- added mds/mdf image format (only v1 and first session, v2 appears to be scrambled..)
- cdimage0 in configuration file now disables all following units (backwards compatiblity) add 2 or more cdimage[0-7]= lines in increasing order if you want multiple units configured
- cue/ccd/iso/mds detection in zipped cd images stopped working
- moved 2048 to 2352 byte sector conversion code to generic image mounter code from CD32 emulation, CD32 FMV ROM now detects VideoCDs (and then it hangs)
- mp3 cd audio: detect audio length using ID3v2 TLEN tag if it exists, assume it is CBR MP3 if first 100 frames have equal bit rate, fallback to original slow full file scan if no tags and VBR
- remove mp3 decoding time from audio playback delay time, keeps av sync if decoding takes less than 2 seconds
- FLAC CD audio tracks supported (cue/iso/flac), perhaps this will be useful in future.. (remember to redownload winuaeinclibs.zip if you want to recompile this or future versions)
- note that currently both mp3 and flac decoding needs to finish before playback starts which can take few seconds on slow machines
- some XP-only CD access issues fixed, tested on VMware workstation (donated by Cloanto). VirtualPC sucks too much.
- when looking for cue/iso/ccd/mds inside archives: do not attempt to autodetect (unpack) other files. CD image archives containing audio tracks should start faster now (all audio tracks are still unpacked at startup but previously they were unpacked twice)

http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=686754&postcount=60

[Scatman]

- GUI configuration panel crash fix (b7)
- do not emulate slow CDA startup in uaescsi.device mode
- blue button was still broken in CD32 pad 2-button mode
- removed obsolete 15-bit fullscreen mode support code
- statefile restore failed if rarely used 68020 M status register bit was set
- added protection against starting new transparent clipboard conversion if previous operation has not finished yet

http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=688 ... tcount=122

[Scatman]

- when attempting to play CD32 data track: return normal "playing" status and "play ended with error" flag in next status packet (Mission Impossible 2025 CD32)
- return error status when CD32 qcode command packet is received and currently played CD audio track is about to change (jumping "laser" in CD32 built-in CD player)
- new D3D filter stupid design fault corrected, all 2x or higher D3D shader filters had bad image quality because both internal source and destination textures had identical size..
- select box next to filter name is now D3D shader filter supersampling mode, 1x = normal, 2x = internal texture is twice the size of display etc.. Big texture support required, makes some shader filters look more smoother when combined with bilinear filtering (for example hq2x)
- crash when entering or exiting GUI when ASPI SCSI mode is enabled (b6)
- cd32 pad shift register should stay in reset state in 2-button mode (F17 Challenge CD32)
- added cd insert/eject to systray menu
- added configuration file delayed cd insert, add "delay" to end of path ("cdimage0=<path>,delay"), waits 3 seconds before inserting the cd, workaround for stupid CD32 games that only work if CD is inserted after boot screen (F17 Challenge and Last Ninja 3, maybe others)
- fixed cue+mp3 size detection if mp3 frames included checksum data
- only accept 8 or 32-bit Windows clipboard image input (instead of crashing..)
- diskswapper and floppy/quickstart archive dragndrop: add all disk images inside the archive (I don't know why this was not done ages ago..)

http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=689 ... tcount=127

[Scatman]

- archive dragndrop worked too well, it unpacked everything, including adf filesystem etc..
- do not expand zipped filename when dragdropping if zip only contains single file
- insert floppy image dialog in disk swapper also "extracts" images inside selected archive
- MODE1 "raw" 2352 data tracks didn't work in CDTV and image mounter + uaescsi.device non-direct scsi mode
- MODE2 FORM1 data tracks didn't work in uaescsi.device SCSI emulation mode
- CDTV mode didn't close CD handle when reseting
- CDTV frame interrupts in non audio CD play mode stopped working (broke when CD+G was implemented)
- overlay height configuration file setting was written incorrectly if it had non-zero value
- statefile configuration entry is not lost when configuration is load and saved again
- scan zip directory even if compression method is unknown
- hardfile scsi emulation block validation checked against physical size, not virtual size: direct-scsi filesystem installed on dynamic hardfile didn't work very well..
- dynamic hdf corrupted data if hdf's physical file size grew over 4G
- bezel overlay support improved, aspect ratio correction, visible area autodetection, (image positioning is not yet pixel perfect)
- pointless bezel configuration file size parameters (temporarily?) removed, bezel overlay configuration needs to be reset (it had stupid design fault)
- DIWSTRT/DIWSTOP writes didn't check if hdiw state should have changed since last hsync (has always been broken but it wasn't really needed until Denise "bug" update in 2.0) fixes Friday at Eight / Polka Brothers

DELETED-MD

[Scatman]

- DSKSTEP and DSKSELx going inactive at the same time steps the rw-head normally. Fixes Euro Soccer stupid disk change detection.
- uaehf.device HD_SCSICMD TEST UNIT READY returned an error (HDInstTools works again)
- added 68020 CE-mode very approximate 2-stage CPU prefetch pipeline emulation (not that 68020 don't really have 2-stage prefetch but it still will be more compatible without major changes) Fixes ATR and (partially) Last Ninja 3 CD32 graphics glitches, (missing blitter waits..) also more compatible with self-modifying code
- CD32/CDTV empty "image mode" tried to select physical drive
- added windowed mode configuration GUI setting (borderless, minimal, normal, extended) Extended is WIP and something you (and me?) should ignore
- do not capture mouse if left mouse was clicked and WinUAE window had no focus (now available via GUI = can't be totally useless anymore..)
- borderless mode can be dragged by clicking mouse button once, only double click captures mouse
- fixed epson printing emulation blank page when printing multiple text pages and later pages didn't have any font or font style changes
- more prowizard ripper updates

http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=696 ... tcount=172

[Scatman]

- swallow USB keyboard led mode phantom keypresses, do not touch non-enabled keyboard leds, key pressess do not cause lost led state sync anymore. rawinput mode only.
- floppy panel disk image creator can now create FFS and bootable images, pre-formatted extended adf ("custom floppy") will be created if label is set or FFS or bootblock is ticked. (empty label box = label will be "empty" when creation standard adf)
- b1 plugin path detection didn't check exe location\plugins

http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=697 ... tcount=193

[Scatman]

- F13/F14/F15 rawinput keycodes fixed (at least available on some apple usb keyboards)
- removed default volume and mute keyboard mappings because in rawinput mode they are always handled by Windows (which is annoying, I haven't found any simple way to disable them, "disable hotkeys" flag only seems to disable Windows keys)
- fall back to directinput if rawinput enumeration worked but RegisterRawInputDevices() returns error
- Paula disk fifo statefile support

http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=701 ... tcount=202

[Scatman]

- rar archives crashed if file was already open (stupid design flaw, it was possible to open archives even if requested mode was read-write)
- added "fullscreen (max)" and "fullscreen (tv)" (approximate only) to "autoscale" select menu, basically replaces old "FS" filter multiplier

http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=701 ... tcount=203

Changes :
- CIA timing issue in some situations (b1)
- some 68020+ exceptions had wrong return address (b1)
- do not attempt to save log window position if it is minimized

WinUAE 2.4.0 released (29.03.2012)
==================================

New features:

- VSync supported in fastest possible CPU and JIT modes, complete rewrite, fast, 100% jitter free.
- Built-in CD filesystem. Full Amiga CD compatibility, including audio tracks and Amiga Rock Ridge extension,
without need for manually installed CDFS, completely replaces old CD option that mounted CD drives as
read-only harddrives. NOTE: CD device names renamed to standard CDx: (Old was WinCD_x:)
- Commodore A2024 monitor emulation. (1024*1024 grayscale monitor)
- Individual Computers Graffiti emulation.
- PCMCIA IDE hardfile emulation.
- USB game controller low latency raw input mode is now the default. (Mouse and keyboard support was already
implemented long time ago) Windows Vista and newer only. Custom input mappings may need resetting.
- PC keyboard mode, keys like home, end, pageup, pagedown etc are mapped to Amiga key codes.
- Input configuration qualifier key/button support. Any key or button can be configured as a qualifier
and other key mappings can be configured to require one or more active qualifiers.

Updates:

- Programmed screen modes (DBLPAL, Multiscan etc..) display positioning and setup greatly improved.
- Performance improved in fastest possible CPU without JIT mode.
- Performance greatly improved when immediate blitter and fastest possible CPU is enabled and program
does lots of small blits.
- Gayle IDE emulation IDE doubler mode compatibility improved.
- Sound syncronization updates, much more stable with VSync. (more updates planned in future)
- Fastest possible CPU mode audio glitch prevention hack updated. (WHDLoad IK+, Moonstone, Uridium II, etc..)

- Multiple display adapter/multiple monitor selection and support improved.
- GUI sound buffer range adjusted, non-linear scale, more smaller buffer sizes selectable.
- Joystick/mouse autoswitch also enabled in Input panel non-GamePorts mode.
- Native code execution disabled by default. Enable option in Miscellaneous panel.
- CPU Idle automatic limit added, no more slowdowns if it is set too low.
- Keyboard emulation improved, properly emulated handshake and lost sync state.

Bugs fixed:

- uaenet.device crash if opened without installed winpcap.
- Startup crash if more than 8 serial ports detected.
- Random hangs when switching cycle-exact mode on the fly.
- CD image/physical media change on the fly didn't always trigger notification correctly.
- Lots of bsdsocket emulation compatibility and multi-thread stability fixes (YAM hangs fixed)

Χμ. Αγαπούσα τόσο την Amiga, αλλά τη σιχάθηκα τα τελευταία χρόνια.

Γιατί άραγε;
