Small Bug; Emulation Temporarily Freezes On Restart

Titler · 23 November 2009, 05:25

Odd one this; I recently upgraded to 1.6.1 (2009.06.18) keeping my configs and Kikstarts from previous builds. When first loaded, clicking "Start" goes straight into emulation; But when I then select F12 and Restart in WinUAE, either with ADFs attached or just to boot to Kikstart, the emulator pulls up the black screen with the LEDs bottom right, but then freezes there. If you press F12 to get the panels back up and instantly close them, or alt-tab away and back, emulation then starts again properly... but it seems to be frozen there until some other action is taken. This is repeatable with me, starting WinUAE for the first time with any configuration works correctly every time, but any Restart action freezes second time around, irrespective of what changes are made in the short term... not a major problem, but a little annoying all the same

Is this a known issue, and if not, I'm happy to give DXDIAGs, and attach WinUAE configs and what not

This happens for me too but only beta versions.

I don't see anything in common.

Can't duplicate (A500 quickstart, started emulation, F12, Restart, start emulation again, no delay)

Attach logs (winuaebootlog.txt and winuaelog.txt, do not forget to click logging checkbox in misc panel)

This is a quick run through for you then; I start WinUAE, boot to Kickstart, press F12, select Restart, pause for about 10 seconds whilst the screen freezes, then F12, and just select OK to unfreeze it;

Nothing interesting the log, unfortunately (except that long delay between two log entries)

Perhaps there is invalid network path somewhere? Trying to access non-existing network file server usually causes ~10s pause.

Download http://www.winuae.net/files/b/winuae.zip and attach winuaelog.txt again, thanks.

Took me a little while to get back to this thread, and for that I apologise. Error logs attached again; The beta is actually slightly worse, in that it freezes at an earlier point... The following logs should record these results;

Launch > Starts correctly to Kikstart > F12 > Restart, Ok > Screen now freezes before the Disc activity icons appear (screen is entirely black) > F12 > Reset > Emulator starts again > F12 > Restart, Ok > Freeze > Alt Tab away, come back > Emulator starts again > F12 > Restart, Ok > Freeze > F12 > Ok > Emulator starts again.

The only difference between installs is that I swapped out the executable for this beta.

Unfortunately still nothing in the logs.. I also tried in Windows XP (in VPC), still no delays.

Anyone else?
