WinUAE 4.3.0 beta series - Page 2

Not a bug report, just a small cosmetic request

In WinUAE v4.2.1 the GUI looks like this:

In the lastest beta it looks like this:

Do you think you could extend the width of the "Configurations" list window further right Toni so it goes to the end of the panel / aligns with the buttons like it does with v4.2.1?

H Toni

The display does not apply the values ??defined for the dialogs.
There is an overflow in the display during translation.

Old DLLs are not compatible and can't be compatible. (And they shouldn't even load unless you manually changed version numbers?)

I'd still like to get some more hardware information first..

But HDF image that contains basic WB setup + working Toaster software compatible with A4000 Toaster (not Flyer!) probably would help.

I am too lazy do that but I probably manage to transfer it to CF and boot it on real A4000 with Toaster to see how it works

I can setup a working HDF for you of just the Video Toaster 4000 4.3 software.

Just finished testing all the usual 27 x games that used to give issues sometimes in new version... all good, no issues to report, not that I expected any

Also this update seems to fix a problematic "game demo" disk: Our-Type & Outlander

In WinUAE v4.2.1, when playing Outlander it would look like this 90% of the time:

Now it looks correct:

Now onto some other cosmetic things I've noticed with the beta.

There seems to be boxes highlighted in blue for some reason:

When starting WinUAE:

On the "RTB board" section:

On the "Sound" section:

On the "Output" section:

On the "Filter" section:

This is weird. Size is correct when using Windows 7 so I guess it is newer DPI model difference. I'll check other Windows versions later..

New GUI resize system simply quries size of each GUI element, scales them if needed and sets new size values. Unexpectedly listview GUI element becomes narrower even if new size value is same as old value..

Originally I thought it was font related (list view font isn't working) but after fixing it list view size didn't change.

DamienD · 21 October 2019, 21:21

That is weird Toni; I'm using "Windows 7 Home Premium [64-bit] with SP1" and all currently applied "Windows Updates" on my laptop

Resolution is maximum "1366 x 768"; the laptop has an "NVIDIA GeForce GT 540" and "Intel HD Graphics 3000" graphics cards.

No problem as you can see from my WinUAE v4.2.1 screenshot though; I wonder what's changed in regards to the GUI handling in the latest beta?

LanceT · 22 October 2019, 13:08

Not sure if it's just me? On versions 4.2.2 beta and 4.3.0 beta the "___Title.png" file seems to attach itself to WinUAE screen coordinates (0,0).
It is okay in 4.2.1
Am I missing something in the winuae.ini file?
Thanks

Lance; Toni changed the behaviour of the main GUI / Boxart panel ratios.

See this thread: Fullscreen GUI

In particular this post by Toni:

Personally I don't use "Fullscreen GUI" or "ArtImageWidthFS" and just manually set the size / ratio / position that I want for my "1366 x 768" resolution i.e:

ArtImageWidth=448
GUISizeX=901
GUISizeY=726
MainPosX=283
MainPosY=84

I believe setting "ArtImageWidthFS=33" works pretty well though, but not perfect

Tried on my work Windows 10 laptop and indeed the GUI is perfect:

...just not on my personal Windows 7 laptop; which I will never upgrade to Windows 10.

@DamienD thanks for your response. I did try out the values toy posted and it still happened.
I probably didn't explain myself properly.
I meant that in 4.3.0 the "BOXART GUI" overlaps the (bottom arrow) "WinUAE GUI" starting at the top left position of the WinUAE GUI. I can't move the position. I also created a new winuae.ini from scratch and it still happens. Like I said it is okay in 4.2.1 (top arrow) and previous versions.

DamienD · 22 October 2019, 17:16

My fault LanceT, I didn't read your post or look at the image correctly

Luckily this issue doesn't occur for me; I'm using a laptop with Windows 7 though. I'm also using the 32-bit version of WinUAE but can't imagine that makes any difference.

This should be fixed in next version (fix already in winuae.7z)

My test results:

Windows 10 (insider preview and last official): extra gap
Windows 7 x64 (VM): no gap

Is your work laptop windows version earlier than 1703? (which introduced per monitor v2 high DPI support)

My work laptop is Windows 10 64-bit 1803 I think. All works fine there though

It's my personal "Windows 7 Home Premium [64-bit] with SP1" and all currently applied "Windows Updates" laptop that has the small issue using the latest beta:

First problem with Winuae in a long time !
It never starts but leaves Winuae running in the back ground.
Attached logs from working 4200 and non-working 4300 beta

Log (enabled): 'C:\Program Files (x86)\AmiKit XE\WinUAE\winuaelog.txt'

Windows 10 Pro 1903
Latest winuae.7z changed Debug GUI fonts to proportional (very hard to read..).
I know, unsupported, but useful often

It's game trouble in this case. Easy to provoke this behavior on A500.

On my 4k monitor and Windows 10 the WinUAE beta window is very small.

Does it become normal size if you click misc panel default button?
