Thank you

Just thanks a lot for what you do. I will be using it :great

Edit: No, I won't. It seems it's too heavy for my PC. The 2.6.1 version works perfectly.

Xmas has come early. Thank you Toni!

Fantastic release. Thanks, Toni.

Toni,
one thing i don't like when i quit winuae my caps lock is enable and my num lock is disabled not what it was before launching winuae.
And a second thing : if i set line mode : double, interlaced line mode : double, fields or double fields + and resolution autoswitch, it doesn't comeback to interlaced line mode : single when a lores screen is displayed but it works like usual if i set double,frames instead of double, fields (+).
everything else, thank you. :bowdown
I should paticipe more during the beta phase :agree , i promise you to have look during the beta phase next time. :agree
