Argh
At least >2G bug was not so bad thing after all, at least it prevented possible data loss..

Will be really really fixed in next beta.

1.4.6b4 (still temp url)

Beta 4:

- A600/A1200/A4000 IDE emulation 4G wrap around bug fixed
- "Add PC drives at startup" drive device name creation tries to detect already mounted device names, prevents ugly looking 'DHx_0'-style names. (note that this only affects name generation of "Add PC drives at startup"-drives)
- renamed GUI "autoboot" -> "bootable"
- rom scan duplicate path detection improved

[Toni Wilen]

1.4.6b5

Beta 5: (1.4.6 will be probably released soon after winuae.net works again)

- fixed wrong input device GUID format in config files
- 'friendlyname' mapping didn't work if device name had trailing whitespace (like USB ProComp 'USB 2A4K GamePad ')
- C00000 and F00000 relocated beta/special KS roms supported (200000 already supported long time ago)
- A3000 official confirmed 2.04 ROM added (37.132 internal rom version, 37.175 shown in "insert disk" screen..)
- possible crash when switching >2M chip setting from/to <=2M Chip and >0M Fast RAM configuration
- removed bogus "P96: display resolution list corruption" log message if biggest available resolution required more RTG RAM than available
- directory filesystem ACTION_EXAMINE_ALL is now "compatible" with FFS implementation. (workaround for older Scalos ExAll bugs that caused missing icons. Probably fixes other bad programs too..)
* eac_Entries is now always at least 1 if continuation flag is set
* keep returning ERROR_NO_MORE_ENTRIES even if previous call already returned ERROR_NO_MORE_ENTRIES

The internal ROM version of the A3000 2.04 ROM is 37.175.

exec.library is version 37.132, but the Kickstart version bytes at offset 12 in the ROM image are $0025 00AF (i.e. 37.175).

Oops. I saw 0x0025 at offset 16 and never noticed 0x0025 at offset 12

The end-scroll lock speed up thing seems to be a bit hit and miss on my machine.. I have more luck when it`s windowed than I do when it`s FS!

This is supposed to be bug report? It does not look like one.. Please try again.

- end+scroll lock?
- is this even 1.4.6 beta related? (missing version info)
- "hit and miss" does not really help.
- you do press end first before other keys?

with PAL: off-centered to the left just a bit

without (default): complete

[jharrison]

by the way, nice job implementing this wonderful feature!

I am quite sure this has nothing to do with 1.4.6 betas and isn't bug either. (That game is "special case". Hint: scoreboard is a big sprite and sprites are not included in centering)

Beta 6:

- binary support added to debugger, '%10101'
- hex/dec/bin converter added to debugger, '?<value>' result is 0x<hex>, %<bin>, <unsigned dec> and <signed dec>
- all debugger commands which take numeric parameters also accept register names: A0-A7 = RA0-RA7, D0-D7 = RD0-RD7, PC, USP, VBR,..
- debugger number prefixes: hex = 0x or $, bin = %, dec = !. Most command parameters default to hex (addresses) or decimal.
- do not reserve lots of jit direct ram if non-jit compatible cpu
- logitech lcd dfx/cpu/fps counter leading zeros removed (I have G15 again, updated revision this time)
- some incorrect Quickstart RTC configurations fixed
- keyboard reset warning feature emulated and added to advanced chipset panel. Reset warning information: http://cataclysm.cx/random/amiga/ref.../node0178.html Reset warning sequence is only triggered if Amiga-Amiga-CTRL key sequence pressed and reset warning setting enabled. Or Input panel event "Keycode 0x78 (Reset Warning)" is received. Amiga-Amiga-CTRL-ALT still does instant hardreset. Second Amiga-Amiga-CTRL during reset warning sequence will also cause instant reset. Pre-emptive "bug report": if Amiga-Amiga-CTRL now causes gurus, reset delays or something weird (and does not if reset warning is disabled or GUI Reset-button clicked) you have buggy/badly configured reset handler utility installed. This is Somebody Else's Problem.
- joystick autoswitch update: firebutton press on non-connected (to emulated Amiga port) joystick AND another joystick already in joystick port (port 1) WITH firebutton pressed = insert new joystick to mouse port

Following can be ignored if you aren't testing custom ROM images before burning EPROM(s)

- kickstart chipram overlay maps 0xe00000 rom instead of 0xf80000, same with 0xf00000 rom if it begins with 0x1114 (emulates my 1M CDTV EPROM hack..)
- 2M ROM image support. Gayle ROM mapping:
* first 512K bank: E00000-E7FFFF (overlay bank)
* second 512K bank: A80000-AFFFFF
* third 512K bank: B00000-B7FFFF
* fourth 512K bank: F80000-FFFFFF
At least A600 and A1200 have 2MB ROM support but note that A1200 Blizzard accel's MAPROM feature must be disabled
- cia overlay advanced chipset setting added (Pre-Gayle models use CIA overlay io pin, newer models have overlay logic inside Gayle)
- ROM Mirror advanced chipset setting separated to E0 and A8 ROM banks. (A8-B8 = Gayle feature)

WinUAE debugger initiates itself during load up sequence

[Ed Cruse]

Maybe I'm not understanding something here, but when I hit Amiga-Amiga-Ctrl it just does the normal immediate reset. I'm not getting a warning. I checked, I am using 1460b6, "KB Reset Warning" is enabled, I saved the config, I read the link and the change log several times. What am I not understanding here? Probably something really dumb.

[derSammler]

You're not supposed to get a warning. The AmigaOS will get a warning so that it can finish disk i/o and other important stuff before the reset finally happens.

There are no reset handlers installed in default AmigaOS installation. Install some (check Aminet) or write your own

[Ed Cruse]

Thank you for the info, I didn't understand. I new there wasn't a warning with a real Amiga, but I thought Toni was adding an option to give us a warning. My mistake.

So far B6 is working fine.

A small correction: there is one reset handler installed by default. In Kickstart 1.2 and later, trackdisk.device installs a reset handler. When you press Ctrl-Amiga-Amiga (using a keyboard that supports reset warning), trackdisk writes its track buffer to disk and returns an error if any other programs try to use it.

That happens quite quickly so you might not be aware of it. But it should mean that disks never become corrupted at the trackdisk level when you reset. (By that I mean, afterwards you could e.g. use DiskCopy on the disk without errors. There could in theory be logical filesystem-level errors. But that's better than having 11 sectors being rendered unreadable.)

A500 and A600 keyboards *don't* support reset warning.
Most A2000 keyboards do (Cherry ones with small function keys don't).
A1200, CDTV, A3000 and A4000 keyboards do.
[Edit: European A1000 keyboards (but not US ones) also support reset warning.]

Beta 7:

- debugger activating when address error happened (debug code..)
- 1M CDTV ROM (0xf00000-0xffffff) confused CPU emulator if m68k instruction crossed extended and ks rom memory banks, 1M CDTV ROM is now single 1M extended rom bank (I am still doing 1M real CDTV EPROM tests..)
- audio emulation update, copy AUDLEN and AUDLC to backup registers when AUDxDAT starts interrupt-driven audio mode (Dungeon Master II)

(Last change can cause problems with some programs if real hardware does not do this but currently it is the most logical reason)

The logitech LCD feature surprised me on my Z10 speakers. Very nice touch.
