Some work to make the sound a little more realistic.

(A bit pointless as it will make the sound output worse!)

Subscribed! I always thought that Winfellow had a nicer "Amiga" sound. Could be psychologic though.

I'm not sure if this is "pointless" enough, but I think it would be useful...

I just read through a post on Aaron Giles' blog ( http://aarongiles.com/?p=208 ) and thought this would be a nice addition to WinUAE. Some type of option which when set, allows us to benchmark our configurations to see which is the best to use as well as best version of WinUAE to use (well, best version as of the point when this feature is implemented).

"Pointless" enough?

Major new features:

- Lightpen/lightgun emulation.

Changelogs are always sooooooooo long, so it's easy to miss things ...

Thanks a bloody lot!
OK then my prayer must have been heard.

Thank you very much Toni!

And it is done

I am not fan of non-4:3 PC monitors, sorry. Perhaps someday when I am forced to get one

Do you think we could find some way of adding an A1200 clock port plus emulation so we could add real A1200 addon hardware and use it directly under winUAE with the normal Amiga drivers.

I know its totally pointless but just about every real Amiga now has support for adding clock port addons (even the A600 and A1000) so it would be quite amusing to use them on our Emulated Amiga's as well.

Is there a possibility of adding an option to disable one or both audio channels in emulation? May sound useless, but it would give me memories of my Amiga 500 and its dodgy audio cables/ports where only one channel would be audible at a time.

Mad-Matt · 12 April 2007, 13:53

a hidden feature if you have a creative card upto 1.4.2b6. select 4 channel mode and you can experiance those memories as youll only get two

Not possible without specific connection adapter (+buffer). Where did you plan to connect it? Pointless and totally unusable idea. (and connecting real hardware to hardware emulation is very difficult)

as the pointless (but cute) goes, i would like the 2 buttons in the back of the Commodore 1084 monitors implemented: one switched to green monocrome, the other to some strange few colours screen (probably intended for pc or commodore, i don't know)

BippyM · 13 April 2007, 13:17

The ability to train the game with the debugger and then save it and load it later if required. Also have it possible to enable/disable it at a button press (the trained bits).

Not pointless

GUI trainer/cheater with save/load support will be implemented someday.

New display filter "Badly Tuned TV"?

My first Amiga before I got my 8833 monitor was hooked into an awful 1980 TV which couldn't hold the channel well so I had ghosting and drift aplenty!

Just squeeze with your eyes, or pour some soda over a pair of glasses and put them on.

Or pour vinegar into your eyes

@Toni - Sounds promising

Coagulus · 13 April 2007, 17:19

mind you, saying all this. My TV now wont tune in properly to my PC output so I actually can recreate this in hardware!

How about a feature so the drive heads get dirty after a while (especially with older adfs!) and you have to run a disk head cleaner .adf!!

Hahaha, THIS is really pointless. I love the idea.
