Note : for Abyss-Curious, all is ok with 68010 ( full CE) or Quickstart A1200. Issue is only with 68000.

Btw. No need to test until next beta! :)

But Beta 19 was released yesterday evening.


We must wait for the b20 to continue the tests if I understand correctly ? :)

Not in general, only for the one I mentioned above. (it is still broken in beta19) :)

EDIT:
But maybe would be wise to wait for the next version. (there are already enough test cases presents)
And I also completed with "Problematic Demos" topic test cases finding nothing new.

EDIT2:
Also, there are some new A500 OCS/ECS demos on pouet that I have never tested before... (so if you are interested)
https://www.pouet.net/prodlist.php?p...ga%20OCS%2FECS

I understand better. :)

Note : there were also some improvements in AGA with few demos / intros that never worked properly before the new blitter emulation. Ozf-rendervous, FocusDesign-Methylate for example).

Edit : i will test the demos of your link soon. :)

Here is the savestate.

Be also aware that those newer demos are probably coded on some of previous WinUAE versions, so don't expect to find too much!
Question would be are they working correctly on a real thing?
For us is relevant that demos were coded on a real machine so we can compare it with the emulator - and
these were coded before emulator existence or maybe a few yrs later.

EDIT:
Like for example this one coded 2011: Hotbleeps by Loonies
In WinUAE2410 it runs according to the pouet picture/video ... on newer WinUAE versions it runs different!

Unfortunately on latest WinUAE beta19 it does not run at all. :confused (but it runs if cpu=68010 - same as on the pouet picture/video - very interesting!)

It looks like the case of the intro "Tommyknockers". Toni explained that it was a known 68000 CPU bug that was appearing with the new blitter emulation. See #337.

So we already have collected 4 test cases for this strange 68000 cpu problem that appears in latest betas:

"TOMMY-Bobs" - stops at 1st beginning (fine with 68010 cpu!)
"MAYHEM-Expiration" - glitches an cube rotation part with! (fine with 68010 cpu!)
"ABYSS-Curious" - nothing happens after text rotation part! (fine with 68010 cpu!)
"Hotbleeps by Loonies" - nothing happens! (fine with 68010 cpu!)

Well, on an A500 configuration it is not that noticeable but on A1200 it is a lot!
Hopefully, my old cpu is stil able to cope with this. (although very close to its limits)

Ps. I am talking about most demanding A1200 demos!

EDIT:
Also I noticed that this newer winuae versions does not have problem with framerate counter fluctuating at all (in comparison to winuae4400 latest official that jump like crazy).
If you run/open both versions with the same demo, you will noticed that old version lag during some period after the new beta version.

Crashes at start on beta19! (but for example work fine on beta16)

Ps. Didn't test between versions!

EDIT:
lapsuus by Maturefurk -> https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=3284
Strange line appears on the bottom! (fine in beta16) (same config as above)

At least check with previous official version before uploading because this is useless statefile, it won't work with any version :)

Fixed but this statefile can't ever work.

Fixed. Pouet screenshot is wrong.

(I never had any problems with 68000. Did you really have correct config?)

Fixed.


And probably some others work now without glitches too.

--

I'll currently ignore anything that is not custom chipset related. 4.9-only not working with 68000 but working with 68010 most likely is problem with not-yet-update blitter internal RGA bus pipelining/CPU cycle allocation.

Also as usual, beta problems only!

I have checked again and now it is working in beta19 with both 68000 and 68010. (acc. to pouet pic.)
I cant explain what was wrong before, as I use same qs A500 most common config in all cases.

Yes, in new test beta it is now working again as it was before. (i.e. different as is shown on the poet pic.)


Confirmed to work in the latest test beta version.

Confirmed.



Note : for ADF type


1 for PicNicBass : Freeze during first part. Since b18.

2 for Psyltefrek : Software Failure.Since b18.

Fixed. Non-softfloat mode FPU FSINCOS was broken.

Confirmed. Since b18.

Fixed. (AGA bitplane scandoubling didn't work correctly)

Files/links?

Demo Mix 5 intro (Intro) by Tommyknockers -> http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=...&postcount=484

Expiration (Demo) by Mayhem -> http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=...&postcount=429

Btw. All can be find at the previously "Problematic Demos" topic on the 1st page. (as I tested only them)


I think I finished rechecking old problems testing for now! (waiting until blitter vs 68000 problem is fixed)

I thought so but search didn't find anything. Please use same names next time :)
