WinUAE 4.0.0 beta series

[AMIGASYSTEM]

The problem of hexaae I had it too, it happened when I was doing a hot reset now, for a while now, the problem has not reoccurred. I have no idea what he could have solved, at least for the moment, maybe the config files recreated from scratch.

[Toni Wilen]

It is fixed now, uaescsi.device add_changeint free'd malloc'd memory when it should not have causing double free during reset.

Beta 14: (Possibly final or almost final)

- Virtual RDB (generated when partition hardfile is mounted in non-UAE controller) now also supports >512 block size partitions.
- Some more code analyzer fixes.
- Paula audio GUI volume setting was ignored if audio mode was mono.
- Restrict minimum allowed JIT cache size to 128. (Previously too small unsupported size was allowed)
- Fixed uaescsi.device reset memory corruption if CD filesystem uses TD_ADDCHANGEINT.
- Logarithmic softfloat functions returned infinity when source value was nan.

uae-configuration 8 is still accepted, and emulation gets almost freezed. F12 to change settings still works. Is this ok?
I expected cachesize to be forced at 128 with values 0<128.

Do you still use D3DLOCK_DISCARD in the single-slice case? I guess that might be more optimal with some graphics drivers?

Beta 15: (Hopefully last beta)

- JIT cache size limit was in wrong validation routine, was ignored by on the fly changes (for example uae-configuration).
- Harddrive imager now also supports native (mainboard/expansion board) IDE connected CHS-only drives.
- Softfloat: 68040 only FPU undocumented feature emulated, FCMP with either (or both) parameters NaN with sign bit set: N-flag gets set.

There is no complete refresh when reopening the WinUAE window from the taskbar. Tested with b10-b15. Only a small part at the bottom of the window appears, the rest remains black until the mouse is moved inside of the window or the GUI is opened and closed with F12.

This problem does not occur with 3.6.1. My config file is set to use full window mode by default, but for this test I switched to window mode.

DirectDraw? Seriously? (Yes, it probably is a bug but I consider this totally obsolete, especially when using RTG)

[PeterK]

No, it's not a bug, not even a real problem, just a disfigurement, a little less beauty. Usually, I don't use window mode anyway.

[Toni Wilen]

It was actually a bug, restoring from minimized state didn't force full redraw, there is no guarantee that redraw is complete without forcing it in certain situations.

winuae.7z updated.

I better get testing then

Ok, obviously I can't possibly try out all 2400 of my configurations so have just tested the usual 27 that have given me issues in the past...

Glad to say that no problems what-so-ever

I still need to try out forcing my laptop to 50MHz using CRU and setting Lagless VSync that you mentioned here Toni: Low latency tearless mode for 60hz screens?

Beta 16:

- Beta tags removed.
- Unminimizing didn't refresh display in certain situations.

This may become final tomorrow or thursday.

[PeterK]

Perfect, redrawing works now. Thanks

DirectDraw? Seriously? (... but I consider this totally obsolete, especially when using RTG)

D3D has a terrible scaling function on my Intel J2900 with the built-in HD graphics. Direct Draw is ok.
