WinUAE 4.9.0 beta series (Was 4.5.0)

[Zarnal]

New issue with " Ephidrena-Psyltefrek " and only in FPU host mode (pic 1 )
It's ok with Softfloat mode ( pic 2 ).

The object is not displayed correctly and at the wrong time.

( type 2 in cli after boot ).

Smooth Copper: This is fixed last (or not fixed until much much later, this does not really work in 4.4 or older, it simply has demo specific hack. Correct fix is really difficult.)

scrolltext has a problem at the same time (pic 1). Since b12

Neither image is correct

EDIT: uses blitter line mode with all channels enabled!. It was supposed to be correct but some detail must be wrong.

Native FSINCOS was sin and cos was swapped

WAIT, does this really mean what I think?
BLTBPT is used to fetch the pattern(s) and the DAT is 'spread' in memory to meet modulo needs?

Great work, Toni.
When do you intend to make performance improvements?

Thanks.

Here is how it works on a real "Amiga 500 rev5 PAL OCS Agnus 512K KS1.2": (@23:00)

So yeah, neither image is correct! (I am not sure if this ever worked correctly on any of previous WinUAE versions?)

Is there some performance problems? So far no one has said anything.

Fixed. (B DMA load didn't update line draw pattern variable). Currently cycle-exact only.

Probably the only program that does this?

Yes, B channel is used to load pattern. Quite a waste of DMA time because single drawn line pixel equals 2 B DMA reads from same address. (=total 32 times more than required)

Did original designers plan to have B as pattern channel but it was too late/would have been too complex? It looks like it is almost there..

(Yes, this is the first time it works correctly)

Never seen before, this should go straight to undocumented features thread

If implemented properly it would have been very interesting!
Unfortunately this way it is very slow (and ..strange)..

@Toni Wilen
You've mentioned before that you'll improve performance later. I am waiting for a better performance in your next betas.

[Greyspirit]

Tried latest beta while troubleshooting this (hence why here) but I noticed that newer NPcap v1.10 doesn't work for A2065 emulation. doesn't seem to see it at all. Win10PCap, that I was using previously, did work fine. Had to replace it to do some wireshark stuff from host and found this not working.

Using it to host my BBS with full Genesis TCP stack.

Batman Vuelve Slideshow II fixed.

Some optimizations were already added and some will be added later. No schedule.

Standard reply: does it happen with 4.4 (last official version)? It it does, this is wrong thread. There is no network related changes in this beta (at least shouldn't be)

Another strange case : Turnips-WorkForNothing

Note : This demo must be launched with " Rom Disabled " in " Advanced UAE expansion board " otherwise she's not starts. 1Mo chip required. Tested with OCS, ECS Agnus and ECS.

Some glitchs during this demo ( pic 1 ) but i have a doubt for pic 2.

If you need to do that: you don't have proper unexpended A500 config configured.

EDIT: and same happens with 4.4..

EDIT2: and same also happens on real A500. Both images. Never assume anything!

It's the demo that's broken.
There is a working version available, into the Zone!

Has something changed in the handling of HDF discs? The same file works in Beta 17 and it does not in Beta 20. It is exactly the same!

No? Can't really say anything else without more information. (You sure it wasn't open in other winuae and/or some other program. HDF won't open if it can't be opened in exclusive access mode)

I have made a video that illustrates the problem. If you need any additional information, I can get it for you...

I always ignore videos. They are useless. Hard facts only: logs and config. (EDIT: tick logging misc panel option, make sure to also include winuaelog.txt. Or tick paths panel full logging option, load config, boot until nothing happens, click "Save all" and attach the zip)
