What version of WinUAE is the best one to use?

Paul · 15 July 2001, 16:11

I have been using 0.8.14r3 as 0.8.16r1 to r4 never worked as it should. Today I downloaded 0.8.14 r1, which seems to run faster the 14r3 with no sound brake up.

After reading different message boards e.g.
http://amiga.nvg.org/uae/people recommend 0.8.8r8 or 8r9.

Though 8.8R8 seems to have many bugs it still runs the fastest on my computer and it's able to run some games the newest can't.

I'm currently using 2 versions of WinUAE at the same time and Winfellow. I'm using the newest WinUAE, WinUAE 8.8r8 and the newest Winfellow.

Could you *name* some of the games that don't work with latest WinUAE, but do with 0.8.8 R8?
I feel a need to test this through a little bit more.

One would be Bob's bad day. It freezes in the new WinUAE during load but loads normally in 8.8r8.

During the last 2 weeks I've been going through over 490 games to check for compatibility and to take screenshots for a CD I'm putting together. I started off with around 600 games but only had 490 games which I got to work which would make it to the CD. Some of these games didn't work with the newest while it worked with 8.8r8. I have all the info in files now, but I don't want to browse HTML pages for all the games to find a couple of more examples but I know there are a couple of them which work.

Then of course there's also the games which I know worked before I upgraded my WinUAE but don't work now (Mainly AGA games)

I have just answered my own question.

The picture attached is one example of how Winuae has not improved. I have finished experimenting and now come to the conclusion the v0.8.14r4 runs the best.

I did originally want to set up a poll when I started this thread but was not sure how to do this.

What I cannot understand is why is this great emulator getting worse and not better?

It all seemed to go wrong after 0.8.14r3.

To the developers. I think you have ALL done a great job so far, but it may have been to early to include JIT.

Another thing which seems to have gone wrong along the way is some AGA modes. I couldn't get XTreme racing to work any longer, I remember having played it before though.

Yes exactly, play LEMMINGS III AGA with 0.8.16, then with 0.8.14 and then teach me!

(*gaaasp*)

@Paul: i don't get this. What's 0.8.14 R4? I think this is a leaked beta, am I thinking right? Or did you mean 0.8.14 R1?

andreas OPPS.

I Made a typo mistake. I meant 0.8.14r1 not 0.8.14r4.

I have been playing MegaBall 3 in AGA mode with no sound breakup, even set to 16bit sound. This is not bad for my PII 450Mhz and 8mb ATI 3D RAGE PRO CARD. I have to set the sound buffer to 3.

I have attached my config. after loading software move cpu slider to 3 - 5

Removed config
