Well, maybe you're right. I have got little tired of doing this turning it into a serious work ...

Also, we never have had so compatible A500 emulation before ... so it is really a nice reward for all hard work done ...

In case if there is anyone who would wish to continue volunteering, the job is all yours.

EDIT: Of course, without master Toni that all would not be possible.
Note: My effort is just a little drop in the ocean in comparison to yours. So one big Thanks to Toni for keep maintaining WinUAE almost whole decade alive. THANKS!

JFI: But yesterday have finished another 3 pouet pages also ... so to correct this, it would be then 45 x 25 = 1125 of tested A500 OCS/ECS demos.

p.s.
So now only 10 demos left to be fixed (if it is any possible to fix) from 1125 already tested = <1% ... what is very, very good achievement!

ECA Demo 2 (Demo) by Electronic Cracking Association

A500 OCS/ECS ... winuaelog = "WARNING: bitplane DMA crossing scanlines!"

Note: Glitches disappear later as shown on pic.3!

A500 confirmed. One sprite pointer points to garbage for some reason.

That warning is not dangerous, it can happen if program changes resolution or display size mid scan line.

A500 OCS/ECS ... scrolling text looks jagged (pic.1) in comparison to one from link above!?

Not bothered check because they are 100% surely standard interlace artifacts when shown on progressive screen. (Interlace artifact checkbox in display panel may help but it won't work if demo does weird things)

Correct! (I forgot on this option in Display panel.)

Gerp 2013 Invitation (Oldskool Demo) by Nature & Traktor

Yes, it flickers on real A500 too. I have no idea how no one has noticed.. Both main loop and interrupt code "fight" for vertical blank interrupt bit.

I think it will work fine with (real) 68020+ due to bigger prefetch buffer.

Correct! (Work if CPU changed to 68020 in WinUAE.)

Yes and it really does look very glitchy, including that blue garbage at the bottom part of screen.

StingRay · 04 October 2013, 21:34

It's supposed to look like that as it is meant to show the quality of the Ivory demos.

And it shows also the quality of current WinUAE emulation ... becomes almost impossible to find any mistakes.

Hej Hopp (aka Goofys 3rd demo) by The Silents & Northstar

A500 OCS/ECS ... (pic.1)!? ... The problem disappear after Left-Mouse click! (pic.2)

Demo 1 by The Link

A500 OCS ... something is blinking! (it is happening too fast, so it is not shown on picture below)

Delirium State of Mind by void

A500 OCS/ECS ... scrolling text upper part behave unstable! (not shown on picture!)

Scrollnophobia by Proton Ltd

A500 OCS/ECS ... last row looks wired! (pic.1) ... does this happens on a real A500!?

Edit:
Awake On The Wildside by Network

And something similar here also on last row (pic.2) ... ?!

Edit2:
Animotion by Phenomena

Also ... (pic.3) ... ?!

EDIT:That is not visible on pic.4 taken from [ Show youtube player ].

So only checking on a real Amiga can solve dilemma -> is it a demo or emu problem, right ?!

ABurger Hill by D-Tect & Coma & ADF

A500 OCS/ECS ... is this a joke!?

Some weird sprite garbage. Does not happen on ECS A500 (or A1000).

It is part of design. It simulates crash

This is not A500 demo (or it is quite bad one..). It flickers, does not run 50Hz, probably made for faster CPUs. (But those "effects" should not require faster CPU..)

Usual overscan bugs. Same on real A500

Same.

Demo 1 by The Link ... But it does happen on WinUAE ECS A500, right?

Delirium State of Mind by void ... I checked it in WinUAE on 68020 and got HALT1 ... on 60HZ it also flickers ... so it is wired?! ... bad code maybe! ... I dont care? ... or if it works same on a real A500 then all is right, right?

p.s. Thanks for checking all on real A500.
