It's like a gamma/contrast problem (very dark) All colors are weird in fact.

Is it only the amiga display itself, or the menu system and everything?

Have you tried turning it off and on again? (The computer I mean?) Perhaps it has nothing to do with FS-UAE since the screenshot is OK?

Amiga display only
I've rebooted the PC and deleted the My Documents\FS-UAE folder.
=>Same issue.
The V0.9.13beta11 colors are perfect (like all other FS-UAE versions, except this one).

Well, it is not likely to be related to the introduction of a little gamma correction -this is done in software, and the error (if it were here) should be the same on all computers.

I did do some OpenGL tweaking... -so most likely something I did here has messed up the colors on your computer. I am going to test FS-UAE on an older computer here with Intel GMA graphics.

Thanks It's not a real problem for me but other users may be affected in the same way now or later

EDIT:

This issue occurs using the full screen & windowed modes

Of course, and I wouldn't to "ruin" FS-UAE by introducing a new bug just before v1.0 -The good news is, I got the same problem on the laptop with Intel graphics here, so then I'll be able to fix it -I'm glad you tested v1.0.0rc1!

Nice to see that you have been able to reproduce this weird issue!

[AmigaOnline]

You can maybe try to reproduce the other issue i've reported, because it occurs using the same computer

The emulator seems to shut down when the FS-UAE window is minimized (task bar) and then restored
OS: Windows XP/SP3
FS-UAE: V0.9.13beta11

Yes, and it is easily "fixable" -that is, I have made it work again, but I want to investigate further, because it should really have worked without the workaround I now implemented...

It did not crash here either -this is also a Windows XP machine.

Wise decision

It may be a driver issue, I will try to investigate on my side

This was a very strange bug indeed, but it looks like an OpenGL (driver) bug to me. The problem was that the current opengl color was not set to white when drawing the Amiga texture, even though the color was specified right before.

glColor3f(1.0, 1.0, 1.0);

And then a call to glGetFloatv(GL_CURRENT_COLOR, ...) (and with printf) showed that the current color was still 0.3, 0.3, 0.3, 0.3 (which was set earlier).

Strangely enough, specifying:

glColor4f(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);

instead made it work - glGetFloatv(GL_CURRENT_COLOR, ...) then returned (1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0) and the display was normal. So sure, I can use glColor4f... no problem..

Problem classified as weird driver bug... (glColor3f(a, b, c) is supposed to be equivalent to glColor4f(a, b, c, 1.0))

I know this was a bit technical, but I just had to rant a bit...

Hehe

About the crash: i've tried to check if the same issue occurs using an old FS-UAE version (V0.9.13beta4). And now i can see an error message when I restore the FS-UAE window!

EDIT:
"GLib-ERROR **:gmem.c:170:failed to allocate 1726592 bytes. Aborting..."
I hope this helps (GMA powa)
A bit technical but...

Hehe, -but yes, it does help (possibly): At least it gives me some clues. Now where do I allocate exactly 1726592 bytes....

Do you have little memory (RAM) in this computer? It could just be that it's out of memory... although I'm not sure why it would allocate 1.7 MB when restoring the window...

Version 1.0.0.rc2 at http://fengestad.no/wp/fs-uae/download-beta
- with fix for the Intel OpenGL issue (well, hopefully fixed for you too AmigaOnline).

EDIT: fixed the nick: This is the second time tonight I've typed only instead of online

It's only time to sleep, Frode

I'm having problems running this with fsgui. I can't pick the FS-UAE executable from the fsgui interface, it is ghosted.

[Foul]

Ideas for next release :

- Asking confirmation before erasing old Stave States with keyboard (y/n) and/or Joystick)
- integrate fs-uae in gnome/kde/others menu with, why not the same icon as Windows
- Choice of font/color/transparency for chat menu


Another Thing, when i launch CD32 Emulation, the boot screen is laggy/shaking ! will try to make a video... happend on 2 different computers and linux/windows same thing... lag is not due to poor computer perfs : mine = Q6600@3.2ghz + 3Gb RAM + GTX 470 with nvidia linux drivers Kubuntu 11.10 x64 / Windows 7 x64, second (@work) = Core2duo 5200 + 4Gb RAM + 9800GT / Kubuntu 11.10 x64

edit : [ Show youtube player ]

Minimal config :

[config]
amiga_model = CD32
Kickstart_file = Kickstart v3.1 rev 40.60 (1993)(Commodore)(CD32).rom
kickstart_ext_file = CD32 Extended-ROM rev 40.60 (1993)(Commodore)(CD32).rom
fullscreen = 0

Possible Bug.
Using 0.9.13alpha2 I have mounted virtual hard drives System,Work and cd-rom.
Everything including cd-rom is accessible and works correctly(snapshot13.jpg and log1.zip)

Every release of FS-UAE since the above and using the same config I am not able to get the workbench screen and just end up with an AmigaDOS shell.
(snapshot15.jpg and log2.zip)-using FS-UAE VERSION 1.0.0rc2

The only way that the workbench ia accessible is if I mount a workbench floppy
(snapshot16.jpg) or if I let the Aros rom load on its own but then workbench is barely usable.

FS-UAE VERSION 1.0.0rc2 and previous versions work fine with a HDF but the cd-rom doesnot work as it should.

Sorry for this long message and I hope it is clear.
