WinUAE 0822R6 released

http://www.winuae.net/

Bugs fixed:

- increased compatibility
- display emulation graphics corruption in some programs (NOTE: some very old games, for example Eliminator, require OCS Agnus)
- sprites outside display window emulated partially (Banshee AGA, Alien Breed 3D)
- audio emulation fixes (noise and random popping)
- input configuration fixes
- crash when creating new CD32 NVRAM-file
- compressed disk images can be write-enabled
- more compatible with newer CDTV extended ROMs (still no CDROM controller emulation)
- disk emulation fixes (writing freeze, drive type, disk eject/insert,
more compatible disk change detection, writing to multiple drives simultaneously)
- stuck middle button when "Middle Mouse-Button -> ALT-TAB" was enabled
- don't crash if zlib.dll is missing
- lost mouse input events when using high refresh rate mouse

New features:

- compressed state files
- rewritten and more compatible serial port emulation, serial link game support
- more compatible blitter speed in non cycle-exact mode (Spindizzy Worlds, PP Hammer..)
- turbo-floppy speed enables fast writing
- disable screensaver when WinUAE is active
- improved configurable CPU idle-function
- screenshots saved to ScreenShots-directory
- input configuration joystick port swap and device
disable-button implemented.

I haven't really messed with any new WinUAE's in some time, so I'm a bit baffled by all the options.

I try using the F11 from within a game to grab screenshot and I get nothing. Only way to grab screens for me is F12 and click the GUI button. Is this something I have to muck with in the Input tab?

End + Print Screen -> dumps a bmp into the ScreenShots dir in the WinUAE root
Print Screen -> dumps the screen to the clipboard

I am aware of Windows' Print Screen function, only mine doesn't work worth a damn for some reason and will usually simply refuse to send anything to the clipboard, which is why I rarely use it.

I was referring to the Features list for this release that suggested F11 dumps screenshots, which doesn't seem to be functioning (at least not for me).

F11 was moved to PrintScreen couple of releases ago..

WinUAE handles the PrintScreen-key, not Windows. (DirectInput allows full control of keyboard except ALT-TAB and CTRL-ALT-DEL)

Twistin'Ghost · 20 April 2003, 22:41

OK, thanks for that info. As I say, this is my first go at diving into a new WinUAE (I am still way back on 8.8r8 !), so I didn't know the F11 was out. So WinUAE takes full charge of Print Screen, cool! Didn't know that either.

I guess next I should start looking at what's up with all this JIT and OpenGL business...

Another great release. Especially the sound is perfect for me by now (the intro of It Came From The Desert sounds much cleaner).

Tiny Suggestions:

- On top of the chipset timing slider you should display numbers again.

- By now you shouldn't distinguish between Enabled sound and 100% accurate enabled sound. The speed difference is very slight and every button less is good I think.

Do you have to make new config files or the old ones are fine?

stainy · 21 April 2003, 19:13

well my old configd work fine... don`t remember hearing that they were not going to work

manicx · 22 April 2003, 08:34

Yes indeed. Lovely...

Drake1009 · 22 April 2003, 15:47

Neat indeed. No need to start working over my launcher. I spent a long time tracking down a bug or two in the program only to realize I had changed to a new winUAE and had to change settings.
