As usual: Does this happen with 1.5.3? Must be always tested before posted here.

1.5.3 colors OK on initial start.However, closing and re-opening causes sporadic black horizontal lines to be painted. Same goes for beta up to 1540b2. 1540b3 is first that fails to show right colors at start.

b10 is pretty slow for me. b8 has been best so far.

Keep up the great work, Toni!

If I understand correctly it works always and any changes in clip will copy from and to WinUAE clip.

So what about check box to disable this feature?

You are doing it wrong if you are storing some important data in clipboard

I highly doubt that. A Core 2 Duo @ 2.2 GHz with 4 GB of RAM should be enough, shouldn't it?

I noticed vast differences between b8 and b10 playing Turrican 2 via WHDLoad. Whilst running like an ace on b8 and earlier, it slows down significantly on b10. I will try b9 and report back.

EDIT: Same with b9. Significant slowdowns. Switching back to b8, Turrican 2 runs like a charm.

It meant your "bug report" was totally useless

Read this whole thread and make sure you have checked all already reported reasons for slowdowns.

I got that. That was just me being sarcastic.

I did before reporting. I'm still stuck with slowdowns - with as well as without filters. Nevermind then.

Still, great job.

Hmm.. Perhaps you have "interlace artifact removal" option checked? It could cause problems in some cases.

I can't duplicate. Perhaps it depends on WB resolution settings?

nikvest · 29 January 2009, 17:29

Turrican 2 runs great for me with latest beta. No slowdowns at all. I have AMD Dual Core @ 4400, 2 GB RAM, Vista Business SP1.

It's just the default 4-color 640X256 hires PAL screen. I don't know if this will help but I've also discovered a similar anomaly on DeluxePaint 5. When starting, select 64 colors with the slider at lower left. When it starts the right two columns of the color selector are wrong but dragging the screen down a few lines cleans it right up. Maybe some of the other folks can test too.

Obviously that's an issue - the colours should be the same regardless of the screen position. However, I think I'm right in recalling that 64 colour mode is Extra Half-Bright mode?

If so, then the leftmost image is the correct - the extra 32 colours are not under user control, and are half the brightness of the first 32. The second image in this case is the incorrect one.

If I'm not recalling correctly, then I'm obviously talking out of my arse :-)

Marcuz · 30 January 2009, 14:51

no, you are right... the first palette is the ExtraHB one: 32 colours and 32 darker tones of the same, as it is supposed to be.

clenched · 30 January 2009, 16:13

Agreed it lools like EHB but this is supposedly AGA picture so I still think palette on right is correct.

about Beta10 :

copy and paste is really a great new feature, it works fine here with text and graphics.

just a little bug with copy from Amiga and paste to Windoze, it paste only first line of text.

thanks again Toni !

Which program? I guess copying from shell window will work ok..

Indeed, it seems to be MCC_TextEditor related (again..

) cause it happens with some MUI applications only (NoWinED).

sorry about a too fast report..

I can test if you find some easy test case.

EDIT: I think this is already fixed in unreleased beta.

In beta 4 and above several CD32 games will not boot eg: sensible soccer (either version).

killergorilla · 05 February 2009, 02:10

Toni:

Using b10 (and also b9) I just tried loading my games menu and booting a WHDLoad game and WinUAE hung, then I had to force it to shut.

I loaded up snoopdos and it just kept showing me that winuae was constantly trying to access clipboard.device (and FAILing) I do not have this in my devs/ dir.

I copied the clipboard.device into the devs drawer and it stopped crashing.

Toni Wilen · 05 February 2009, 18:57

http://www.winuae.net/files/b/winuae_1600b11.zip

Beta 11: (still long way to go..)

- fix for graphics corruption introduced in 1.5.3 when bitplane DMA fetch happened while bitplane pointer was updated
- AGA 6 plane mode (non-EHB) was not always enabled properly (b3)
- added -clipboarddebug command line parameter that writes clipboard contents to file in winuae directory. (clipboard_p2a.xxx.dat and clipboard_a2p.xxx.dat)
- added ripper path to Paths panel, used by prowizard and sample ripper (previously sample ripper used screenshot directory and prowizard used winuae root directory)
- directory filesystem ACTION_CHANGE_MODE was completely broken in CHANGE_FH mode, returned error and "Error: couldn't find key x / y!" was logged. Bug since the beginning
- clipboard: multiple CHRS chunk merging fixed (again), less stupid clipboard.device detection
- blitter line mode (only if linedraw code was "weird") broke in b3
- file selection dialog (adf, hdf etc..) remembers previous filter mode ("*.adf", "all files" etc..)

Kyon · 05 February 2009, 19:32

it looks flawlessly for the mine thanks toni

killergorilla · 05 February 2009, 22:04

Beta 11 fixed my problem, cheers Toni.

Beta 11 fixed clipboard problem from MCC TextEditor too, thx Toni !

Still not working? List more non-working ones please. (and DT does not yet work in Windows 7 beta so testing may take some time...)

Marcuz · 06 February 2009, 11:16

[OT] just out of curiosity: passing to Windows 7 (from Vista) will cause major uncompatibilities with Winuae? [/OT]

I haven't noticed any problems (except file dialogs seem to use wrong default directory in some cases, probably bug in W7 beta)

Just tried Beta 11 with Sensible Soccer International Edition v1.2 with the CD32 quickstart config set to "Best Compatibility", and it doesn't boot (just a black screen, doesn't even get as far as the CD32 spinning logo).

However, it seems to work perfectly on the middle compatibility setting. In fact, it's running quite happily in demo mode in the background as I'm typing this!

@ Toni: Logs attached for the "Best Compatibility" setting.
@ espontaneo: What other CD32 games didn't work?

Steve.

Turrican 3 (final, Hoodlum crack) is badly broken in the current beta series.

Quickstart A500 "most common" configuration:

The helmet animation during the intro has pixel errors around the helmet's eyes
Also during the intro, when Bren fires at the green alien, the muzzle flash sprite of his gun has wrong priority. It overlays the green alien, but it should be behind.
Ultimately, the game doesn't work at all. It resets and gurus at #00000004.00C01570 after it asked for disk 2 and loaded a while.

I also had some other random errors like distorted samples in the intro music, but those weren't reproducible.

The game works fine with the latest official release of WinUAE.

Same problem in both cases. Possibly fixed in next beta..

Can't duplicate this, game seems to load and work fine after disk change.

Perhaps you tested with the beta of Turrican 3? The beta has the same issues during the intro but works fine otherwise. (apart from massive sprite flickering, can't remember if that was normal)

Let me know if you don't have the Hoodlum crack of Turrican 3 final and I'll upload it to the zone.

Cracktro says 100% but.. CRC32 of images are more than enough, no need to upload.
