WinUAE 1.6.1 beta series

REALLY READ THIS BEFORE POSTING!: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=26715

Quick(ish) 1.6.1 beta series. Will be mainly 1.6.0 bug fix release.

http://www.winuae.net/files/b/winuae_1610b1.zip

Beta 1

- development PC updated to Intel Core i7 based. (Asus P6T DeluxeV2, i7 920 2.66GHz CPU @ 3.7GHz, 3x2G 1866MHz RAM)
- ASPI crash fixed (calling convention mismatch.. I didn't test and only assumed previous fix would be the only problem left..)
- filesys default codepage changed to default ansi page (1252 breaks many non-european characters)
- added more directory harddrive error codes to Windows->Amiga code translation table (unit not ready, bad unit)
- directory harddrive Windows illegal character handling was broken
- do not capture mouse at startup if window is hidden/minimized
- archive dragging to HD-led really mounts it as a harddrive, even if it contains only disk images
- 1760k HD and 10 sector DD PC formatted had switched internal DD/HD flag (=above image types didn't work)
- FAT12 formatted images supported as a harddrive (uaeunp feature)
- turbo/warp mode in fullscreen mode wasn't as fast as possible

Any chances that you add a GUI tickbox for the beta warning message? I KNOW that i use a beta version, this is very annoying.

No. There is a way but you have to find it yourself. (Anyone posting it here: -> deleted and code changed)

Toni i tried it and it fixes my aspi problem but game freeze continious maybe thats another bug . i really dont know

hexaae · 30 May 2009, 22:21

Toni, can you fix the inconsistent behaviour of the checkmark to enable/disable mouse emulation?

When used in conjunction with "Configuration #n" keyboard/mouse remap behaves incorrectly. When you launch WUAE with the checkmark disabled mouse works from Workbench, if you enable it will stop working. Now if you just call WUAE-GUI with F12 on the Input page and press OK (you didn't touch the checkmark!) mouse emulation gets re-enabled (???) and things like these...

NoX1911 · 30 May 2009, 22:21

Beta1 heavily eats up cpu cycles here and freezes when starting up (nothing shows up). There are some free cycles every 5 sec or so, so you can move the mouse somehow from time to time. I could barely manage to start the taskmanager to kill winuae.

I wanted to test if vsync is working again. V1.4.6 is the last one with working vsync.

Radeon9700

There is ALWAYS something. (hint: log. set lower priority etc..)

I already said that in other thread. It is not a bug.

If you can explain how this is 1.6.1 specific? ("wrong thread")

hexaae · 30 May 2009, 22:55

Ok, will continue on the other thread...

The log is incomplete. It stops out of a sudden during a line.

I took a quick look with olly. Its not freezing in winuae itself. It somewhat messes with oal. When removing OpenAL32.dll in windows/system32 folder winuae starts up properly. 1.6.0 is not affected.

Try -logflush command line parameter, it should fix truncated log (it is not default because it makes startup slower)

EDIT: there are no changes in sound code between 1.6.0 and 1.6.1

NoX1911 · 31 May 2009, 16:55

Yep, that helps. It goes at least some lines further until 'Enumerating OpenAL devices..' now and hangs there.

But its not a winuae bug. I've discovered other apps that suffer from that freezes as well now (adobe audition). The problem is not OAL related. The root seems to be on even lower level.

Strange that it triggers on 1.6.1 only. Whatever... never mind.

Which sound card and which openal version? (full version string from openal32.dll)

NoX1911 · 31 May 2009, 18:11

Soundblaster Live! (CT4670 - VEN_1102&DEV_0002)
Creative driver 6.0.1.1304 - 22.02.2008 WHQL
OpenAL32.dll 6.14.0357.22

Don't follow this bug. My sound subsystem may be corrupt indeed. The SB Live! driver is inf patched (officially for 5.1 only), i've deregistered asio.dll, installed a tuner card lately and the 'Adobe Default Windows Sound' driver is not the friendliest one around as well. There are some points i have to check out first to make sure. Until then its maybe wiser to ignore this bug until proven by at least one another user.

Edit: I reinitialized the sounddriver. The bug is gone. I shouldn't jump the gun when it comes to soundproblems next time.

Lets say it this way: if I see it in public _anywhere_, it won't work in following beta

rsn8887 · 01 June 2009, 10:39

Thank you for the new beta!

Turbo/warp mode seems to work correct now in all screenmodes APART from 100 Hz Pal Fullscreen + Vsync. In that mode, it is now different than 1.6.0 release (where it was just slow) but still wacked: The display including on screen LEDs now completely stop updating once warp mode is turned on, e.g. it looks like WinUAE is just hanging, the display is frozen, mouse pointer doesn't move etc. However it is not hanging, when you turn warp mode off again you realize that WinUAE was running in warp mode just fine, it just did so without updating the display at all while it was in warp mode.

It's now clear and precise.

If you know it and have been asked to share it. Do so, but don't let Toni see it.

(there's email, pm and other ways to share this info)

Attach the crash dump file and start winuae with -logflush command line parameter to get non-truncated log.
