WinUAE 3.3.0 beta series

[Snake79]

After reducing UAEGFX (UAE Zorro III) VRAM size from 512MB to 256MB (Prometheus) everything is loading properly. Config based on Mediator with UAEGFX 512MB is working on 64bit too. Sadly GREX has never worked for me (neither 32 or 64bit). Maybe i am missing some roms? (i have latest expansion_boot_roms).

You did read Classic_FAQ pdf in root of OS41FE install CD? "3.16 Q: How to I enable my GREX?"

[Snake79]

Sadly, no I take a reading

[Snake79]

Thanks to FAQ You mentioned, I have managed to enable GREX running. Both, 32 and 64bit versions are working with uaegfx 512mb on it (not necessary for fullhd, because 8mb is enough).

The autofire option in game ports panel is broken since beta 2, it's switches always back to "no autofire".

Beta 6:

- Fixed uaehf.device and input on the fly device change invalid free() calls.
- Game Ports panel autofire/joystick type setting was not remembered.
- Do not queue new uaenet.device uae_Signal() call if previous is still in queue.
- Do not call any host OS functions from uaegfx trap functions, trap function can run in different thread context which can cause strange side-effects. OS4.x uaegfx resolution changes should be safe again.
- Added shellexec custom input event/uae-configuration command that can execute Amiga-side commands or scripts. Uses SystemTagList() with NIL: Input and Output handles if KS2+, Execute() with NIL: Output if pre-KS2. Only works when UAE Boot ROM is active, dos.library has been initialized and AmigaOS is running normally.
- Display panel color component gamma value calculation fixed, any brightness or contrast modification was too dark.

Beta 7:

- Fullscreen + paused + enter GUI: GUI was invisible.
- OSD FPS counter shows 'P' in pause mode.
- Directory filesystem drive total/used values are not anymore converted to internal block count before again converting to AmigaOS block count. Reported Amiga-side size is now accurate.
- Create more sane looking fake geometry for directory harddrives. (Not that anyone really cares)
- Directory filesystem harddrive block size is dynamically adjusted to enable correct drive size information even if drive is large (>2T), as long as AOS also supports it (OS3.9+ probably required).
- If m68k FPU is in float (32-bit) precision mode, force output register value to 32-bit precision after each host FPU operation to guarantee correct result. (Kilofix / Iris missing geometry)
- Clear UAE boot ROM temporary variables at reset. (OS4.x reset loop after warm reset)
- Added 20 bytes of empty space after directory filesystem volume node. If OS4 decides to use it for something. (OS4 volume node is 20 bytes larger. UAE puts it in hardware board space, it can't use DOS functions to allocate it).
- Implemented OS4 ACTION_FILESYSTEM_ATTR directory filesystem dos packet.
- Selecting none in Game Ports reverted back to previously selected device/layout.

In Beta 7:
In 'Game Ports->Mouse and joystick settings':
The 'Default' setting is not remembered.
It is set as blank option when you load the settings again from 'Configurations'.
The problem is when it is set as blank, 'Keyboard layout B' doesn't work in 'Kick Off 2'. You have to set as 'Default' for instance.
I think this is a result of the recent updates.
Please fix. Thanks Toni.

Even if I wouldn't care today, I might care tomorrow. Every little helps :-)

Will be fixed in next beta.

I am quite sure there is no way to find any kind of non-pointless use for that geometry information

Multiple dir hdds all show the same geometry even if on different harddrives or servers.

For example
DH1 -> C:\Users\Public -> should be 71.6 GB
Q -> \\qnas\Public -> should be 915 GB
U -> \\freenas\Share -> server is not running (would be 1788 GB)

all three show 915 GB

[Toni Wilen]

Oops. First drive's size was used for all directory harddrives.

[Diz_57]

Since the 3rd beta from this current batch a problem with directories as harddrives on an A500 setup (other systems seem unaffected) has been introduced.

These are the easiest steps I could find for a repeatable guru every time:

Set A500 quickstart (most common)
Add a directory as a harddrive on device DH0:
Boot on a WB 1.3 adf
Open a shell
Type 'cd dh0:'
Then type 'dir' for a guru

I can confirm that.

[huepper]

Confirmed.
Guru shows all the time task #00000004.00C21260

btw. a simple 'dir dh0:' after shell startrup gives the same result.

Pre-1.x crash fixed. FileInfoBlock "reserved" block at the end is not necessarily allocated in Amiga-side memory, never write it back. (FIB modifications are now done in host side memory and then whole structured is copied back to Amiga-side for better OS4.x trap performance)

Is that the speedup you mentioned in the OS4 extensions thread? Also, is it possible to get a 64-bit build for testing against b7? Thanks

That was more like "not extremely horrible slow" vs "slow but usable" -speedup. It was done long time ago.

There is no 64 bit test versions. You have to wait for next official beta.

Thanks for the fix, Toni

Beta 8:

- Game Ports joystick type was always empty (undefined).
- Quickstart panel CDTV/CD32 CD path name label was "DF1:", not "CD". (Broke when bridgeboard drive support was added)
- Dragndrop to emulation window didn't work correctly until GUI was opened at least once.
- Added screenshot autoclip mode, uses autoscale display size/position detection. Also added following config file only entries: (all config entries need win32. prefix)
- screenshot_min_width and screenshot_min_height: minimum autoclip size in lores pixels.
- screenshot_max_width and screenshot_max_height: maximum autoclip size in lores pixels.
- screenshot_width and screenshot_height: forced screenshot size (non-autoclip mode only)
- screenshot_x and screenshot_y: position/offset of screenshot (non-autoclip mode only)
- screenshot_mult_width and screenshot_mult_height: 1x, 2x, 3x, .. 8x screenshot size multiplier.
- screenshot_output_width_limit and screenshot_output_height_limit: minimum screenshot size, if original size is smaller, multiplier is increased until width/height is same or larger.
- More internal changes to support more than one enabled RTG board at the same time. (Still lots more to do..)
- 68020/030 RTE didn't generate exception when it encountered 68040+ or 68010 only stack frame types.
- Return error code instead of crashing if bsdsocket emulation sendto() tries to use unsupported raw protocol.
- Switching from relative path mode back to normal mode could have caused repeated crashing.
- Do not write reserved block at the end of FileInfoBlock back to Amiga side, Pre-2.x dos commands don't allocate complete FIB structure. (Was side-effect of OS4.x compatible trap system)
- Basic NERO nrg CD image support added. Data and audio tracks seems to work.
- CDFS mounting selects Joliet volume label if found. (Joliet volume label is not restricted to capital ASCII letters)
- uaenet.device S2_READORPHAN should not filter unknown multicast addresses.

EDIT: re-uploaded with trap fix.
