WinUAE 1.4.1 public beta series

[Toni Wilen]

Read this before downloading or posting!

This will be quick beta series (serial port startup crash need quick fix), max 1 week or so..

WinUAE 1.4.1 public beta #1

Beta 1:

- startup crash fixed if serial port enumeration detected more than 8 ports. (broke in 140b6 when "compatibility mode" enumeration was added) Also increased max amount of supported serial ports
- default ASPI detection selected (possibly non-existing) AdaptecASPI
- Quickstart now automatically selects working SCSI mode (uses setting from default.uae if available, if not, selects "best" available)
- 120b1 right border update fixed to work in interlaced modes (Unreal)

While you haven't mentioned my issue, it is fixed and fully working in this beta so I guess it's related to one of the other problems some how.

WinUAE 1.4.1 public beta #2

Beta 2:

- better bsdsocket threading fix, should finally fix random crashes.
- diskswapper input-panel input targets added (next/prev/insert)
- change input configuration (1-4) input target added

- custom input targets added, experimental, not in GUI yet, need manual configuration file editing, syntax:
<anything>.button.x=<press>,<release>,<secondary press>,<sec. release>
press/release = key down/up, joystick button down/up
secondary = toggle-mode (first press uses "press" event, second press uses "secondary press", third press is again "press" event etc..)
format of single event: '"entry=value"'.0 "unlimited" multiple entry/value pairs supported: '"entry1=value1" "entry2=value2"'.0
empty event: NULL.0
Examples:
- toggle onscreen leds:
'"show_leds=false"'.0,NULL.0,'"show_leds=true"'.0
- refresh rate = 100 while key/button is kept down:
'"chipset_refreshrate=100"'.0,'"chipset_refreshrate=50"'.0
NOTES: format can change in future, toggle-mode may be added to regular input event mapping system in future version.
BTW: custom input was implemented ages ago but it was not enabled until now... (I forgot it..)

Upload them to total-emu if you want Toni.

As long as it's under 2 mbs it's be alright. I'll keep them up as long as you want or until WinUAE.net is fixed.

[Avanze]

Is it possible to upload the beta(s) to The Zone?

Beta 3: (official release when winuae.net is back)

http://www.guildserver.co.uk/kgwhd/w...uae_1410b3.zip (temp location)

- map POV Hat to joystick up/down and left/right by default
- added master volume (Windows main volume) control input targets default: END+CTRL+(numpad - and +, * = mute on/off) (without CTRL = WinUAE-only volume control) Also master volume mapped by default to "multimedia" vol down/up/mute keys.
- custom input targets editable in GUI now (not very intuitive but whole input panel isn't too intuitive. someday..)
- fixed crash when switching from CD32/CDTV mode to A500 mode
- input panel input list can be browsed in "compatibility mode"

The compatibility mode is not configureable, except the Joystick deadzone and Mouse speed. This is correct, right?

Yes. I enabled "browsing" because sometimes it may be interesting to see what Ports-panel configuration really does

Yes, i know what you mean. This is a useful option.

I've noticed this problem sometime during the 1.40 beta cycle, but I did not have a chance to test it on a clean install on a new machine until yesterday.

When clicking on the GUI, under the Configurations, Hardware or Host main tabs, the GUI does not update. See the attachment with the arrows indicating the troublesome areas.

Regards,

Bogdan
