- XTIDE Universal BIOS compatible IDE HD controller.
- ISA VGA display card (Cirrus Logic GD542x based)

PCI bridgeboards:
- G-REX
- Mediator 1200/4000

Notes:

- SSE2 capable CPU is now required.

Other Updates:

- CD and sound card emulation audio output quality improved.
- 68020/030 prefetch emulation improved.
- High DPI display support improved.
- AGA subpixel scrolling emulated.
- Support shortcut paths (.lnk) in command line.
- More undocumented chipset features supported.
- Right control = right Windows key option.
- Memory accesses only -cycle-exact mode.
- UAE devices (uaeserial etc) are compatible with KS 1.2 and older.
- Improved compatibility with very old A500 config files.

Bug fixes:

- WinPCap network mode didn't detect any devices.
- 68030 data cache emulation fixes.
- Custom to/from RTG mode switch didn't check for filter changes.
- JIT on/off on the fly change (outside of GUI) was unreliable.
- Keyboard layout changed (B/C only) during device re-enumeration.
- D3D9 non-shader mode forgot scanline texture when switching modes.
- Audio wave recording created huge broken wave files.
- It was not possible to select HDF PCMCIA SRAM and IDE options.
- Flash ROM and RTC file dialogs didn't allow creation of new files.

And more.

Wow, what is left to emulate now?!

[HOL2001]

Many thanks!

[DamienD]

Excellent stuff. Many thanks Toni

[McTrinsic]

Great!

Thanks!!

Woot!

As a side note, how would I file a request for a specific hardware to be emulated?

Cheers,

Many thanks for years of hard work. I hope we can find many more interesting things for you to emulate.

Hi Toni,

How can someone use the Mediator emulation without a PCI Graphics card being emulated as well? I was under the impression the Mediator relied on using some of the RAM on a PCI Graphics card in order to operate.

You can use Mediator without a graphics card, all drivers won't require it. For example 10Mbps NICs (10/100 OTOH will require it), sound cards, and modems do work without a gfx card.

Toni your name will stand out forever in time for being the greatest ever emulator coder. And aren't we all lucky that its for the greatest machine ever AMIGA.

This emulator is becoming something very HUGE, congratulations!!

[dlfrsilver]

Thanks Toni for this great job, it's so good to get it better and better each time !

Amazing work Toni.. You are a coding machine.

When i get some $$. I will donate again and I encourage everyone else to do so. Think about how much you spend on new plastic cases and accelerator cards and other add-ons.. And how awesome WinUAE is..

I have multiple times and well worth doing for all the hard work / dedication Toni puts into WinUAE and this community

Lots of expansions, unfortunately boot ROM dumps are missing. Unexpanded A1200 compatibility is not good enough. And more.

PCI devices that don't require PCI DMA work, like NE2000 or RTL8029 network adapters.

Sound cards do require PCI DMA but it is also not problem under emulation, full PCI DMA can be optionally enabled (OS4 sound drivers located on non-classic install CDs do work in emulation if full PCI DMA is enabled, without any VRAM hacks).

In real world only G-REX can do to/from Amiga RAM PCI DMA transfers.
