Beta 12:

- path selection really fixed now
- do not mount cd/dvdroms on the fly if removable automount was enabled
- uaenet partially rewritten, "should" be working properly now
* multicast supported, including multicast filter (not tested)
* IEEE 802.3 frame support (I think)
* CMD_FLUSH implemented
* stats trackers implemented, probably do not work correctly yet..
* globalstats fixed
* multiple openers handled correctly
* interrupt handler setup is still very ugly
* SANA2IOF_RAW supported
* S2_PacketFilter hook supported (not tested)
* (Genesis still refuses to send anything but I think the problem can't be uaenet.device but something else. Also Genesis calls S2_ONLINE before S2_CONFIGINTERFACE which is against the spec..)

Installed Beta 12. Inserting a CD when using uaescsi.device and spti
no longer shows 2 icons in workbench. And the paths problem is fixed
indeed. All config files work ok now. One strange thing though:
With one af2006-config file i now have to set the jit-settings to
"Force settings: Indirect or After RTG". If I don't use this, the config file only shows a flickering black screen with the floppy sound and doesn't boot. Up to beta 8 I never had to change this (config file never used force settings option). Well anyway it works now
Thanks Toni

Toni,
Today, for the first time I wanted to test CD32 emulation. As I have no
CD32 games I wanted to test it with an audio-CD. I use the quickstart option to start CD-32 emulation.
All beta versions of 1.4.5 have the following problem. After I press play
to play the audio-CD, CD32-emulation no longer responds. I can hear the music, but The Cd-timer does not update, nor does it respond to joypad or keyboard presses. The only way to stop the music is press F12 and quit. If I install winuae 1.4.4 this does not happen. It's a small thing, but I thought I'd let you know.

Kind regards,
Lloyd

Confirmed. I get the exact same bug using beta 12.

What was the last working 1.4.5 beta? (This is quite weird issue because Windows MCI command MCI_STATUS_MEDIA_PRESENT keeps reporting media present if CD is removed while cd audio is playing.. This code has not been modified since it was implemented but I am sure it did work previously..)

Simple answer: None. This bug appears in beta 1 and continues through all betas. Works fine on WinUAE 1.4.4.

I read the original report badly.. Audio playing works fine here but cd eject detection while cd audio is playing isn't working.

Logs and more logs as usual.. Probably something to do with CD emulation mode. (SPTI or something else in misc-panel?)

[Mozzerfan]

Hi Toni,
I use the quickstart option to start cd32-emulation (no uaescsi.device +spti).
The only thing I changed in the settings is the logging option. Here are the logs.
If you need more info, please tell me.
Kind regards,
Lloyd

Unfortunately nothing interesting in logs.. Does the same happen if you use NeroAspi? (or frogaspi?)

Beta 13: (still lots of time for more fixes..)

- more cd/dvdrom automount issues fixed
- S2_ADDMULTICASTADDRESSES and S2_DELMULTICASTADDRESSES were not included in NSCMD_DEVICEQUERY list
- fixed SANA2IOF_RAW write length
- S2_ONLINE Sana2DeviceStats->LastStart uses GetSysTime() now
- -netlog command line parameter added, default logging disabled
- more compatible with raw (non-AmigaDos format) disk writes that do not fill complete track
- crash when loading AGA statefiles (usually only when JIT was enabled)
- CDTV SCSI emulation interrupt handling fix, would freeze randomly
- UAE boot rom is moved to 0xe70000 if CDTV mode is enabled. Now "UAE" HD controller harddrives work in CDTV mode. (note that other expansions like Picasso96 use absolute jumps and will crash if UAE boot rom is located in non-standard location)
- autocomplete added to most path text boxes (I didn't know Windows had very easy to use text box autocomplete feature..) TAB (+SHIFT) can be used to move between paths. (SHAutoComplete() does not work exactly like "normal" autocomplete because cursor keys/ESC must go directly to normal text box functions)

With NeroASPI it does the same. With Frogaspi, when i insert an audio-cd, it just stays on the CD-32 startup-screen. The screen with the cd-player doesn't show up.

Kind regards,
Lloyd

[Toni Wilen]

Log window always appearing fixed.

[Steve]

I've noticed that if you enable JIT once the CD is playing you get a little bit more happening on screen. The button selector graphic updates albeit very very slowly. Its almost like the CD audio is trapped in a loop preventing the graphics from being updated. What could have been introduced in beta 1 to make this happen? Surely it can't be the snoopy fix that has broken this?

[Mozzerfan]

Enabled jit before starting cd32-emulation.
The problem doesn't occur then, but emulation reacts a little slower to joypad presses.

Kind regards,
Lloyd

Beta 11:

- some device insertions caused crashes
- quick start mode on/off registry setting fixed (b9)
- A3000 RAM detection problem fixed (b10)
- some hardfiles didn't automount
- Sana2 device is working, at least in theory..

Sana 2 device emulation instructions:

Requirements:

OpenVPN Win32 TAP driver http://openvpn.net/download.html (OpenVPN 2.1_rc4 or newer) run OpenVPN installer, only needed component is "TAP-Win32 Virtual Ethernet Adapter"

Now TAP Adapter and real network adapter needs to be bridged. Go to "Network Connections", select both TAP adapter and your real network adapter and select "Bridge Connections" from right mouse menu. http://www.pavelec.net/adam/openvpn/bridge/ (only steps 1 and 2 are needed, name is not important)

Check new bridged adapter has correct IP settings. (This is now your "real" network adapter) Windows networking should continue working normally.

(Perhaps there is simpler solution?)

Enable "uaenet.device" in misc-panel. Emulation-side device name is "uaenet.device" (remember to disable bsdsocket emulation or there may be bsdsocket.library conflicts)

Note: without bridging all sent data goes to black hole and nothing can be received either. Emulator can't detect bridge's status.

Not supported (yet):
- multicast
- tracked stats counters
- promiscuous mode
- something I forgot..

Other notes:

- global stats may not be correct
- stability may not be too good
- very ugly interrupt routine.. (CopyToBuff,CopyFromBuff made things very complex..)
- produces lots of logging
- MiamiDX DHCP and ping worked
- OS3.9 Genesis never tries to send any data.. Confusing..
- didn't test AmiTCP, I didn't bother to configure it
- as you can see, not much testing done..

Hallo,


I have the Beta 13 and a HDF-File of Amiga-OS V3.9 from the Usenext
Usenet Server. I have aktivated the uaenet.device and I have bridged
the Internetrouterconnection. I have got a Speedport W 700V. In the
Internetdirectory I have found Genesis. But this must be configured for
Internetaccess. I must have Access to a virtual Networkcard on Amiga-
Site too. So I must have a uaenet.device on Amigasite. Where must I
write which Parameters in Genesis to get Internetaccess?

Genesis does not work (check the changelog again) and I don't do non-emulator specific Amiga support, sorry.

Why not just use bsdsocket emulation instead? (if you only need regular TCP/IP stack) No need for Genesis or other TCP/IP stack programs.

i'm a little bit late but thank you toni for the akiko fix

Beta 14:

- BPLCON3 BRDRBLNK-bit didn't work when chipset was ECS Denise
- BPLCON3 KILLEHB-bit was first implemented in ECS Denise (not AGA) It makes 6-plane display to work like normal 5-plane display, 6th plane can now be used for genlock mask
- COPCON CDANG-bit allowing full register writes was first implemented in ECS Agnus, not in AGA. (OCS has low address limit of 0x40)
- CDTV QS Denise setting corrected (OCS, not ECS Denise)
- added "slow is fast" option to advanced chipset. (Original A2000 with DIP Agnus has real fast at 0xc00000, some A1000 CPU socket fast ram expansions mapped to 0xc00000 instead of usual 0x200000) CPU socket RAM expansions) Speed difference only in CE-mode
- Windows message handling changes, most likely breaks something but also should fix Direct3D filter fullscreen switch issues (WIP)
- compressed disk images (dms, adz etc..) inside archives (lha, zip etc..) supported (this may have worked few releases ago, not sure..)

- uaenet.device backend replaced with winpcap http://www.winpcap.org/install/ (version 4.x only tested)
differences:
* winpcap is easier to use. Install. Done. (*)
* promiscuous mode supported
* all available network adapters are automatically mapped to uaenet.device. first adapter = unit 0, second = unit 1 etc.. (manual configuration someday, maybe..) Check the log.
* some (bad) software firewalls may block some/all packets.. (at least Vista x64 + eset smart security fw seems to eat all non-broadcast packets..)
* fixed bug in dropped packet (packet that nobody wanted) handing

*) Vista note: winpcap kernel mode driver will be loaded when it is first required. This needs admin privileges (only once after boot) Another easier solution is to enable autostart: Open Device manager, "View"-menu, "Show hidden devices", open "Non-Plug and Play Drivers" from device tree, find "NetGroup Packet Filter Driver", select properties, "Driver"-tab, set type to "Automatic"

Beta 15: (final soonish)

- fullscreen switching should work correctly again
- mouse moves are now ignored if winuae is not active
- do not get in "semi mouse captured" mode if WinUAE opens without focus (for example other program got focus before WinUAE opened)
- some uaenet.device tweaks
