I can switch through all open tasks with Alt-Tab, seeing the tiny preview pictures. But all shows a black screen when selected. Not really sure if the switched task is really open due to the black screen. Very strange indeed.

One more test: Use as minimal config as possible (plain A500) when you enter task manager (and winuae has hung), right click winuae.exe and select "create dump file", compress and attach/email/upload somewhere the dump file. At least if it isn't too big..

It should help debugging this.

EDIT: Use official b16 link, do not use winuae.7z.

Here we go.

Hmm.. It looks like emulation is still running normally or it hung inside DXGI Present() method.

If you boot some a game or demo that plays music and then press alt-tab, does music continue? (make sure pause when inactive and minimized is not ticked)

Does task manager also show about same CPU usage after and before alt-tab?

[Retro-Nerd]

A game like Hyris running has 11-13% CPU usage. After pressing Alt-Tab the music stops and the task manager shows 4-7% CPU usage.

Hi Tony,
i try this new uae for first time e have this problem (that not have with 3.5).
Bottom line disappear and appear continuously, after e before filter, with directx draw, d3d9 and d3d11.

BotoomLine_appears to disappear continuously.zip

It looks like chipset feature/bug that wasn't implemented until few releases ago (earlier than 3.5), last line of field is always blank (shows border color, except if A1000 Agnus).

To confirm it, please attach your screenmode.prefs and overscan.prefs (sys:Prefs\Env-Archive\Sys)

Overscan File is not present on default, i have modify vertical set for save.

Ok, i did a fast test.
the only problem i found is when i use dx11 and some filters the screen goes black... like AA+SF1, gs2xsmartfilter.
5xbr,cartoon and others work great no problem.
It just seems that some filters are compatible and others no... why ???
Do you need some logs with a simplified install ?
Thank you for your time Toni.

Yes. D3D9 effect (.fx) format is not same as D3D10. Effect compiler (that comes with D3D10/11) has some backwards compatibility but some things are not supported.

Check the log. Some things can be automatically worked around, some need manual updates. Some can't be fixed and need large rewrites. (Obsoleted feature)

Ok, so it isn't that. Does http://www.winuae.net/files/b/winuae.7z fix it? (It had positioning fix that may be related)

Better!
but they remained, still in bottom, yet few line that disappear and reappear continuously.

Thanks.

OK, thank you Toni for the update.
Nothing i can do then.

You can do something: include those shaders that don't work and I'll check if they can be automatically fixed.

What do you mean? Did something change for the better? What exactly? (also redownload winuae.7z again)

I have re-download a winuae.7z but the problem there is too.
Is better beacause now is only bottom ulimate line the disappear and appear; before was more boton line with this problem.

I have attachments a video file generate from winuae.
Now you see a problem, if you use a small windows videoo see better the problem.

With winuae 3.5 the isn't.

Is that file valid? It has lots of zero bytes at the beginning.

Try this (yes, it is weird): select softfloat FPU emulation mode (CPU panel). Does it still happen?

An update on that... testing with 3.6.0b16 now. It's not double speed with no buffering, but seems to be about 150% normal speed: the FPS indicator seems to hover at about 90 (for NTSC). In non-vsync mode, CPU% indicator stays showing 0% most of the time running an undemanding OCS demo.

L-L vsync, no buffering (~150% normal speed): CPU% indicator at ~48-51%, Task Manager shows ~2%. "pull overflow!" log messages regardless of sound buffer size setting.
L-L vsync, double buffering (at correct speed): CPU% hovers about 90, though Task Manager says WinUAE is using ~1.2%.
L-L vsync, triple buffering (at correct speed): CPU% pegged to 100. Similar ~1.2% CPU usage according to Task Manager.

I Try, but not resolve the problem.

I have re-ripped with other codec.

WinUAE b16 crash doing absolutely nothing: left with GUI open, just launched but emulation never started, got a phone call... when I returned I've found it crashed.
qemu-uae.dll and qemu-uae_x64.dll 2.2.0

My config: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16kM...ew?usp=sharing

[Toni Wilen]

Was JIT enabled? This crash dump seems like it was which makes it mostly useless.

I can't see anything wrong happening in the video? Did you record it using built-in recorder? It may not see the difference depending on where it happens. (at least make sure record before capturing is not ticked)

Does anything appear in the log when the flickering line appears? (run with -log command line parameter to see it in real time)

Does it move with the image when using Filter panel adjustments?

Hi Toni,
Sorry for the question, I use 2 configurations for winUAE one with windows with all the updates made and directx 11 works perfectly.
And another version to which I have not made any updates to keep it light.
I can do the updates but I would not burden the system as I can solve this problem, what update should I do to get directx support 11
Thanks I hope the question is right.
