Great new release Toni, I LOVE the disk drive sound. Keep up the good work.

I've noticed problems on a couple of games that I haven't noticed before (this doesn't mean they weren't in previous versions, just that I haven't noticed them before).

Firstly, in Datastorm there is a small scrolling glitch on the left hand side of the screen causing the "ground" to flicker.

Also, some of the backgrounds in Chuckie Egg are corrupt.

I've tried different blitter settings for both of these games, but the problems are the same.

Great job on the update Toni, keep up the good work.

Great work again Toni.. I like the volume thingy


oh btw, while I`m here.. is it me or has the 100 most remembered C64 tunes stopped working in the rls?
sure I had it working on my bogg standard A500 setup..

Cheers very much, Toni Toni Toni!!!


I wonder if §ane can still be contacted btw? It seems he's the one who knows how to make Win95-compatible EXEs....

100 most remembered C64 tunes: works fine here. Maybe you forgot to check "more compatible"-checkbox?

Windows 95 compatibilty: Not so easy anymore, new multimonitor support uses Windows 98+ only features..

Datastorm: very common "feature" which is not a bug, you will see the same thing on real Amiga if you have monitor with adjustable horizontal position

Thanks for the new release

I never thought that i would miss the disk drive noise from the a500 diskdrive, but it sure brings backs some memories.

Me and a friend visited a local bookstore which had a demo a500 which we used to try out the new demo "gurumusic", lets just
say that disk drive wasn't really top notch after that

Now i can try the "gurumusic" without breaking something

Nice release tony.
Disk sound is sweet. But if I set the sound freq to 48khz I get a buzzing sound all the time, goes away when I set it to 44khz though so its no big problem.

Adapter/Screen selection is great, I've been waiting for it
The only problem is that cpu usage goes upp to 99.99% and the controls start to lag if I select V sync on. It's possible its not UAEs fault as I've noticed that dualscreen and buss usage gives some high load results.

Vsync on does look nice otoh, almost all combing disappears on my TV

Another problem I've discovered with the drive sound is that the volume slider resets to the (rather loud) default volume for every launch; even though I set the slider to my prefered level, then save the config.
