• Picasso96 emulation rewrite.
  
  • Major speed increase.
    
  • Optimized blitter operations.
    
  • Hardware (flicker free) mouse cursor emulated.
    
  • Picasso96 native switch without screen/window reopening if old and new size matches (instant mode switching).
    
  • Fullscreen to fullscreen switch without desktop flashing.
    
  • Colour space conversion, all RTG colour depths supported in windowed mode as long as Windows desktop has same or higher colour depth.
    
  • Simple scaling support added, fill to whole screen instead of switching resolution. (Useful with low resolution games and demos in windowed mode or if host resolutions like 320x200 are not supported).
    
  • Configurable 15/16/24/32 bit colour space formats.
    
  • Important notes if slowdown is noticed:
    
    • Select "NonLocalVRAM" in Misc-panel (if major slowdown)
      
    • Make sure display panel depth setting is same as Picasso96 depth setting (or tick "Match host and RTG colour depth if possible")
      
    • Color space conversion is always slower than direct match.
  
  
• Filter update.
  
  • Scaling and centering are now more intuitive (NOTE: old settings are not compatible).
    
  • "FS" scale multiplier added (fill whole screen).
    
  • "1/2" scale multipler added.
    
  • Hq3x and hq4x filters added.
    
  • Onscreen LEDs are not filtered any more.
    
  • Keep aspect ratio option added.
    
  • Direct3D/OpenGL filters not yet updated.
  
  
• PCMCIA SRAM card emulation, includes real PCMCIA SRAM card support.
  
• ROM scanner byteswapped and even/odd ROM image support.
  
• Multithreaded AVI recording, huge speed increase with 2+ core CPUs
  
• Right mouse button over image selection buttons opens favourites menu (can add/remove/edit shortcut paths to disk/rom/harddrive images).
  
• Sprite emulation updates, sprite doublescan support improved (for example Fantastic Dizzy CD32 background), yet another missing undocumented feature implemented.
  
• More compatible with timing changes caused by power saving features.
  
• Missing uaescsi.device CMD_GETGEOMETRY added.
  
• Debugger, GUI debugger improvements.
  
• A600/A1200/A4000 IDE emulation LBA48 (>128G) support.
  
• Input handling is more Windows-like, only release mouse/joystick/keyboard when WinUAE loses focus (previously when mouse was not captured)
  
• Added 1.5M Chip RAM (A600 + 0.5M trap door expansion) and 384M/768/1.5G Z3 RAM (configures two emulated RAM boards) configurations.
  
• Configuration file cache implemented, increases initial configuration list loading speed.
  
• 5.1 sound settings include center and LFE channel (all 4 channels mixed)

• uaenet.device random deadlock fix, NSCMD_DEVICEQUERY works correctly.
  
• Gayle interrupt handling update.
  
• CPU emulation fixes, EXTB.L and CHK.L was 68000 (should be 68020+).
  
• Sprite emulation fix, Super Skid Marks hires mode cars and Marvin's Marvellous Adventure score/cloud interference.
  
• "HAM4" and "HAM5" is displayed properly.
  
• Sound emulation fix, fixes Weird Dreams hospital scene sound problem.
  
• More compatible CD32 state restore support.
  
• AGA mode sprite garbage may have appeared in some cases. (1.4.5+)
  
• DOS formatted HD floppy image crash.
  
• Rare real harddrive detection crash.
  
• CD32 compatibility improved (Liberation CD32)
  
• Display emulation fix, mixed interlaced and non-interlaced modes don't cause random display errors any more, same with doublescanned interlaced modes. (for example hires-mode Pinball Illusions)
  
• Autoconfig emulation update, Action Replay 3 does not detect non-existing fast RAM board anymore.
  
• Many lha/lzh archives mounted as a harddrive crashed.
  
• Mousehack (tablet) mode works again.
  
• On the fly mouse/joystick switching crash fix.
  
• A3000 1.3 SuperKickstart works again.
  
• Many "non-standard" resolutions were missing in Picasso96 mode.

Great update, many thanks!

good work!

What about a ppc-emu for os4 that would kick azz!

I know, just get only the real thing (hardware..)

Downloading now!
Thanx for the great update!

Thanks!

Toni has already said it will never be added by him. If someone wants to fork the project they can.

Excellent job - the P96 display code rewrite improves performance considerably.

WinUAE keeps on getting better and better - just when you think that there is little left to add or improve, Toni posts another monster update.

Incredible!

Cheers,

Another excellent release thanks.

I have been using the betas with Amiga Forever 2008 for the last few weeks and its a nice improvement on the previous release series.

Good job friends, your better option for continue live our Amiga system.

whot iff somebody donated him a ppc board or an amiga one,

euae relly sucks on amiga os 4.0
wee need that ppcjit in uae

@retro


I think UAE is a bit of overkill for OS4 since it already has a fast 68020 and JIT emulation built in. What you might want to port to OS4 is something along the lines of TUDE.
Why redo the work of the petunia guys just use the existing emulation. What most people don't realize you don't get faster speed emulating and 060. So unless your program calls for an 040 or offers better features your best bet is to emulate an 020 as it is the most complete CPU.

Great job Toni!




He is one of the greatest coders on the Amiga scene!

I see your point. It's not the cpu speed, but the AGA problem I am referring too.

I have an OS 3.9 installation on my second HD, and it's a nightmare.

For example multimedia programs.
Apps that are tied to the Amiga AGA chipset.

I have a TV out converter from Kong Computers, it works as a bypass so you still have your VGA monitor. It's like when you use the s-comp port on the a1200 at the same time as you are using scandoubler or GFX card, it clone the screens.

I am thinking of finding a HD recorder with some kind of FTP server build in and with two inputs and outputs, then record from video camera to HD then move the file to Amiga, use some editing tools and then push play to record it back to the HD recorder.

But try to run scanner under e-uae emulation or just other programs really sucks, and cant be used to make realtime video.

Anyway I wonder how the signal will be if you set at VGA to DVI converter to the amiga gfx card and the to a HDD recorder and then the recorder to a new HDTV.
will the signal be messed up ?.

Anyway I hope a better e-uae will show up.

This release is certainly a bit faster here.

Toni Wilen.

I'm not sure when it happened. But I noticed it during the last two releases. The sound is now working perfectly. You can't tell it from a real Amiga. Music-X works now. This is a major thing.

WinUAE becomes more and mor perfect.

Thanks a lot for the very good work.

In the past years I've done nearly all my programming work under WinUAE, because it brings me a incredible speed boost measured against my 40/40 AMIGA.


I can't see anything now, what I could miss in the AMIGA-emulation for me.
