Changelog

PC Bridgeboard (A1060 Sidecar, A2088, A2088T, A2286 and A2386SX) emulation rewrite:

    Emulation core replaced with PCem. Compatibility has improved greatly, for example Windows 3.x enhanced mode, DOS extenders and Windows 95 are now fully working.
    Bridgeboard built-in CGA emulation graphics corruption fixed.
    A2386SX VLSI chipset memory remapping, shadowing and EMS fully supported.
    Cirrus Logic emulation PC compatibility improved, 2M VRAM, linear frame buffer and blitter support.
    PC Speaker emulation (PCem)
    Sound Blaster emulation (PCem, various models)
    Serial mouse emulation (PCem)
    SCSI adapter emulation (Rancho Technology RT1000B)

Other updates:

    AGA hires/superhires horizontal pixel positioning and borderblank horizontal single hires pixel offset fully emulated. Optional because it requires much more CPU power and it is rarely needed. DIWHIGH H0/H1 AGA-only bits emulated.
    AGA FMODE>0 undocumented features implemented (BPLxDAT, SPRxDAT CPU/copper accesses, bitplane modulos that are not integer divisible by fetch size)
    Added new misc option which captures mouse immediately when windowed/full-window winuae window is activated.
    68030 MMU emulation compatibility improved.
    Paula disk emulation GCR MSBSYNC support added (Alternate Reality protection track).
    Added quick search and quick directory select to Configurations panel. Link and autoload moved to Advanced information panel.
    Added history list to config file name edit box and to statefile path string box.
    Added vertical offset option to D3D scanlines.
    64-bit version didn’t support 64-bit unrar.dll.
    68030/040/060 with data cache emulation but without enabled MMU emulation: force Chip RAM as non-data cacheable.
    Magic mouse Windows cursor to Amiga mouse sync partially fixed.
    Window corners now work as drag’n’drop hot spots for different floppy drives. (top/left=0, top/right=1, bottom/left=2, bottom/right=3).

Bug fixes:

    68020 + memory cycle exact hung the emulator in some situations.
    Reading CIA interrupt status register in a very tight loop generated spurious interrupt(s) in certain situations.
    Softfloat mode with unimplemented FPU emu ticked didn’t disable 68040/060 unmasked interrupts, confusing 68040/68060.library and possibly causing it to return incorrect values.
    Some CHD CD images didn’t mount correctly.
    uaehf.device HD_SCSICMD didn’t set scsi_SenseActual. Also set io_Actual=30 (=sizeof(struct SCSICmd))
    If config file had KS ROM path/file that didn’t exist, it was replaced with non-existing <original path>../system/rom/kick.rom path or was not correctly fixed with valid path.
    NCR53F94 SCSI chip emulation DMA counter fix (affected for example Blizzard SCSI Kit)
    Very large directory harddrives returned halved used/free space.
    Fixed multiple problems with screenshots and video recording from hardware emulated RTG board.
    Filter panel scanlines work now correctly in multimonitor mode.
    Crash fixed if more than one non-Paula audio stream was active. Included emulated sound cards, also CD audio if “include” option ticked.
    NE2000 PCMCIA and NE2000 bridgeboard didn’t support custom MAC and network mode selection.
    Fixed hardware emulated graphics board hang with Picasso96 if board supported vblank interrupts and RTG board refresh rate mode was not Chipset.
    Fixed statefile crash when saving statefile while disk operation was active and disk image included bit cell timing information.

Bug fixes (Introduced in 4.0.0/4.0.1):

    Display port adapters that needed genlock transparency data (FireCracker, HAM-E, OpalVision, ColorBurst) didn’t work correctly since 4.0.0.
    Display port adapters didn’t work in multimonitor mode.
    Blitter statesave with blitter active: log window opened and listed few lines of blitter debug information.
    Some programs caused continuous flood of “blitter is active, forcing immediate finish” log messages.
    CTRL+F11 quit ignored new “Warn when attempting to close window” option.
    68020/030 more compatible/cycle-exact mode statefiles didn’t always restore properly.

New emulated hardware:

    CSA Twelwe Gauge (A1200 68030 accelerator + SCSI controller)
    AccessX/Acetec IDE controller.

Hoxs64 is a Commodore 64 emulator designed to help reproduce this particularly machine and hence, enable you to run games running with this platform. It is worth mentioning that the program is the only one that fully replicates Commodore 64 as it is capable of running a fully cycle based emulation of sprites in the middle line graphic data changes.

Here are some key features of "Hoxs64":

· Cycle based CPU, CIA, VIC and SID
· 1541 Disk drive
· Tape deck
· Full screen mode
· Configurable keyboard and joystick
· TAP PRG P00 D64 G64 FDI T64 file support

Freeware

Changelog

Beta 2:

- Adjusted CDTV CD drive read/play startup delays. Fixes Town without no name speech audiotrack play stopping too early.
- Window resizing keeps current window aspect ratio if left or right CTRL is pressed when resize operation starts.
- Separated Filter panel internal texture size multiplier to vertical ands horizontal. Vertical "-" = same as horizontal.
- Magic mouse mode and some other Windows program is active and mouse gets moved over WinUAE window: don't activate window automatically. It can cause side-effect where other program is still getting keyboard input.
- Simply uaegfx overlay rendering optimization, if both RTG and overlay bitmap does not change during frame: don't force full redraw.
- Fixed AGA HAM graphics corruption if same scan line had BPLCON4 non-zero, border sprites enabled and at least one sprite visible in left border and HAM bitplane active.
- Added global memwatch l option, enables invalid access logger:
-- Custom registers: unaligned, byte (except $dff002 and $dff006), mirror addresses and non-existing registers.
-- Custom registers: detect if any unused bit is written as one to registers like BPLCONx.
-- Custom registers: detect if any DMA pointer write access sets invalid address (outside of chip ram address space)
-- Detect if any chipset DMA tries to access non-chip RAM memory (checked before address is masked with size of chip ram).
-- CIA registers: detect invalid accesses, word accesses, unused register 11, mirror CIA address.
-- Anything else needed?

Beta 1:

- Bypass indirect memory access function calls (xget()/xput()) and access the memory directly if memory is normal RAM without side-effects (Real fast RAM). Should improve performance slightly in fastest possible non-jit or jit indirect modes.
- GUI listviews column order is now adjustable. Column order and width is stored in registry/ini. Adjustments are reset to defaults if number of columns changes in the future, manual reset to default button in Misc panel.
- Reject all Alt+<some key> windows system menu key shortcuts because invalid shortcuts may generate annoying beep sounds in magic mouse mode.
- Manual configured RAM address text box didn't support addresses larger than $7fffffff.
- Map >256k extended ROM images to $f00000 (not $e00000) if it begins with $1111 identifier.
- KS ROM selection now support hunk and m68k elf executables. Automatically relocated at startup and symbols, if embedded with executable, are loaded to debugger. Image must be rommable but can have multiple sections. Checksum, size field and interrupt vector offsets are automatically appended if final relocated ROM image is smaller than 512k. If final image is larger than 512k, it gets mapped at $a80000-$b7ffff and $f80000 only contains header and vector offsets. This was mainly implemented to make aros m68k ROM debugging less annoying but it probably can be useful for any custom rom development. Source level debugging may be implemented later, DWARF debugging information documentation is not very useful for implementing parser..
- Added keyboard_handshake=<v> config file entry. If handshake time period (in CCKs, not milliseconds) was less than v, message gets logged.
- Added memwatch point PC parameter, only detect hit if PC equals start of address of instruction that generated the memory access. For trainer internal use.
- Added log (L) only memory watch breakpoint mode, log only hits, don't break to debugger.
- Accelerator board CPU fallback (to mainboard CPU mode) was broken.
- "Add PC drives at startup" enabled and same drive root directory also mounted manually: drive was mounted twice (4.1.0 bug, earlier versions skipped duplicates)
- Added uaegfx Picasso96 overlay/PIP support.
- Added Cirrus Logic SVGA chip overlay/PIP hardware emulation (Picasso IV)
- AVI recording with non-standard refresh rate was reset to default if GUI was entered and exited during recording. Affected recorded audio pitch and sync.
- bsdsocket.library emulation SBTC_RELEASESTRPTR ("release string" = name + version string) was not implemented.
- Fixed sprite x-position before DMA slot(s) (left overscan) emulation bug that caused some partially hidden sprites to completely disappear depending on order of x-coordinates. (3.5)
- 68030 MMU and instruction ending to memory write that causes bus error: bus error exception stacked PC points to following instruction.
- 68020+ prefetch mode debugger H history command returned wrong instruction addresses.
- uae-configuration returned return code 10 even when matching config entry was found.
- Debugger disassembler didn't show scale factor if effective address mode was brief extension format. (broke when 68020+ addressing modes were fixed)
- Added custom ROM selection, 4 slots with manually configurable start and end addresses. Start and end are restricted to 64k boundaries.

- Added Pacific Peripherals Overdrive SCSI controller emulation and 2 ROM versions.
- Added Harms 3000 Professional 68030 accelerator board which is almost identical to A26x0 but ROM remapping seems to be slightly different.
- Added IVS Trumpcard (non-pro) emulation.
- Added IVS Trumpcard 500AT emulation.
- Trumpcard driver disk devs/*.driver files contain embedded raw boot rom image. If added as Trumpcard/Pro/500AT ROM image file, it will be automatically loaded as ROM image.
- Added ICD Trifecta emulation.

Overlay/PIP support:
- All Picasso96 RGB and YUV formats supported. (CL hardware supported modes: RGB565, RGB555, YUV422, YUV411. Few weird non-Picasso96 compatible modes are not implemented.)
- Color keying supported (CL hardware limit: 24-bit mode does not support color keying)
- Cirrus Logic hardware supported color key masking (8-bit color key and 8-bit mask, only available in 8-bit modes) is not implemented.
- Cirrus Logic hardware supported chroma key not implemented (Mainly designed for video capturing).
- Scaling supported, uses basic linear scaling.
- Pure software rendering, don't try to open too large video windows.

Pacific Peripherals Overdrive:
- Possibly first ever A2000 HD controller.
- 5380 based SCSI controller.
- 68440 DMA controller, CPU polls DMA complete register. (SupraDrive 2000 DMA which uses same DMA controller also CPU polls)
- RDB compatible, mostly, for some reason it assumes partition device names are C-strings, not BSTRs which makes device names look quite interesting in AmigaOS. v2.0 supports custom filesystems.
- Both known ROM versions have "SCSI 1.3 (14 Aug 1988)" version string but overdrive.device versions are 1.5 and 2.0.

IVS Trumpcard:
- 5380 based SCSI controller, byte wide fake DMA.
- Functionally same as Trumpcard Pro except Pro-only long/word wide fake DMA data ports and SCSI ID/status register are not implemented.

IVS Trumpcard 500AT:
- Usual basic PIO IDE controller.

ICD Trifecta:
- SCSI and IDE controller (LX), IDE only (EC). Don't select EC, at least 4.2 install disk driver seems to assume SCSI chip is always installed.
- SCSI is DMA capable, FAS216 SCSI controller, Xilinx FPGA based DMA controller.
- IDE is PIO only, uses large MOVEM copy loop.
- Boot ROM is still MIA, tested only with install disk driver.

Changelog

- If win32.guikey is set to zero, disable F12 special handling. Normally if win32.guikey equals valid keycode, F12 can't open GUI, even if F12 in Input panel is configured to open GUI. (Another historic reason..)
- Genlock mode didn't always enable fully (was emulated but transparency was not visible).
- HAM + border sprites visible in border areas: in some situations bitplane data was incorrectly visible in borders.
- Filter border "blanking" was not working (b1).
- Selected filter panel mask/overlay was not updated when filter position (-4..0..4) was modified. (410b4)
- Many video port adapters (which includes grayscale mode and genlock) didn't support all doubling modes.
- Genlock and CD32FMV output was in color even if grayscale mode was enabled.
- 68030 MMU emulation now also creates short bus error frames. They are created when bus error is caused by write and write was instruction's last memory access. For some reason documentation mentions that some instruction prefetch faults also generate short frame but it seems to be incorrect.
- 68020/030 MOVES in instruction pipeline emulation (prefetch/more compatible) mode had wrong instruction length.
- 68020 full format extension disassembler fix, some addressing modes didn't print address register ([] instead of [an])
- Added IVS Trumpcard (non-Pro) v4.9 ROM.
- uaedbg ELF executable support. Not much different compared to HUNK support except ELF SHF_WRITE and SHF_EXECINSTR section flags are used to detect invalid writes or instruction fetches from non-code sections. uaedbg changed, old version is not compatible anymore. Separate debug files used in AROS are not yet parsed.
- do not try to validate or canonicalize UNC network paths to reduce unnecessary delays at startup.

Changelog

- ELF executable ROM loader crash fix.
- Borderblank + horizontally bitplane ending before display window end: part of right border was drawn using wrong color (borderblank color vs color 0).
- uaegfx and Picasso IV 8-bit palette overlay mode was not implemented. Fixes XIII/Oxyron PIP mode.
- Fixed uaegfx overlay corruption if allocated overlay bitmap width was not divisible by pixel byte size. (PiP_View + image with "unaligned" width)
- Disassemmbling 68020+ full format extension type (an,dn,xxxx.w/.l) didn't print an part.

Changelog

Added A2090a ROM driver workaround, in one error condition situation it forgets to set correct DMAC mode before reading DMA status. So apparently DMA error bit can be also read when last mode was start DMA (or perhaps it is always valid). Fixes A2090a + tape drive hang.
Not all autoconfig boards configured fully when used with A2620/A2630. (Which has differently behaving autoconfig driver compared to KS ROM in its boot rom)
Sprite to bitplane and bitplane to bitplane collisions didnt work correctly if subpixel mode was enabled.

Changelog

420b2 "Fixed AGA HAM graphics corruption.." missed one special case. Fixes Alien Breed 3D graphics corruption.
Reset/Restart did not clear uaegfx overlay state.
Added uaegfx overlay statefile support.
uaegfx statefile restore and hardware sprite mode: mouse cursor image was not restored.
Picasso IV and uaegfx YUV422 overlay support fixed (frogger, moovid). Note that scaling is linear, real chip uses interpolation. YUV411 is still untested but I am not sure if it was ever used.
New 128k UAE ROM stored statefile did not restore correctly.
Changing accelerator board options (jumpers etc) on the fly did not do anything.
uaedbg chip ram memory allocation fallback to normal chip ram fixed.
Updated remaining weird instruction names in disassembler (MOVEP, MOVE USP, MOVE/AND/OR/EOR SR/CCR, memory rotate instructions)

Whats new:>>

410b1 sub pixel update broke BPLCON1 scaling in Absolute Inebriation / Virtual Dreams. (Very old glitch was temporarily back..)
If SPTI CDROM mode: always use IOCTL_CDROM_RAW_READ. Normal 2048 sector read does not necessarily return error (but hangs) if track is not normal 2048 sector size CDROM track.

http://www.winuae.net/

[SiLæncer]

Changelog

    Adjusted previous SPTI CDROM update, if track type is unknown, use IOCTL_CDROM_RAW_READ and check and store track type. If track is normal CDROM track (MODE0) and only 2048 bytes are requested by caller, use normal read routine to read it. Using raw (2352 byte) read would skip part of error correction, possibly causing read errors if CD is not in good shape.
    x86 bridgeboard floppy disk write command didnt check no more data DMA condition, causing hang if floppy write command didnt end with EOT condition.
    x86 bridgeboard floppy disk read and write commands didnt handle non-set MT bit correctly, which broke A2386SX disk accesses.
    CD turbo mode affected also CD32 CD features that should have normal timing (like TOC entry timing), only normal read should be accelerated.
    Another 420b2 "Fixed AGA HAM graphics corruption.." fix. Previous fix revealed old bug if position of hblank border changed (for example automatic scaling)
    Adjusted 68020 cycle-exact mode timing, there was some extra cycles in branch instructions that cant be correct.
