WinUAE 2.5.1 beta series
2.5.1 beta series.
This is usual quick 2.5.0 bug fix version. Estimated release date: before Christmas. I try not to do any GUI changes this time, 2.5.0 translation DLLs should still work with 2.5.1. Rules: Allowed posts in this thread: - bug reports but make sure bug is NOT in previous offical version. (Old bug -> separate thread) - comments and suggestion about new features in betas or changed feature in beta. (missing feature or old feature which has not been changed in latest beta series -> separate thread) Everything else will be deleted, no questions asked. (includes offtopic posts, discussion about pros and cons of public beta testing etc..) Misc notes: - "not working" is not a bug report -> instadelete - always include name of the program. "Everything" or "most games" fail is not a bug report! - always use quickstart settings. Non-QS setting reports will be ignored unless there is reason why quickstart isn't good idea but still test using quickstart just to confirm! (unless it needs some HD highend config) - always check logs (both winuaebootlog.txt and winuaelog.txt, don't forget to enable logging in misc-panel) for possible error or warning messages. - remember to include PC specs + Windows version (if asked) - graphics error -> include screenshot. - disk based program -> include CRC32 (mouse over disk history arrow down button will show CRC32) of the image(s) (or SPS ID or full tosec name if from latest set). Plain name of the game is NOT generally enough! (usually there are different cracks, trainers etc..) As usual, betas may destroy your PC and your sanity This thread is for general discussion (bad/good/stupid idea/whatever, no trolling or flaming) about public beta testing. Beta test related PMs or emails will be generally ignored. |

Beta 1: - Internal mouse counter under/overflow fixed, while moving mouse far enough, mouse jumped in opposite direction. (old bug) - Directory filesystem file modification date resolution support is now 1 microsecond (was 1 second). AmigaDOS file time 1/50s "tick" resolution is now fully supported (if NTFS, FAT only has 2 second resolution) - 1G RTG RAM was detected as "too large". (early 250 beta) - ClipCursor() was not always called, it was possible for hidden Windows mouse to move outside of WinUAE window in some situations. (250b24) - RTG aspect ratio still affected filter panel aspect ratio setting. (b26 update was not complete) - _UAEFSDB.___ meta data files (stores illegal names, protection flags and comments if non-stream capable filesystem like FAT) haven't worked correctly for a long time. - _UAEFSDB.___ wasn't always deleted when it become empty. - Unminimizing unpaused emulation when "pause when mouse is uncaptured" was enabled. - If win32.guikey config entry is set, normal GUI key (F12) events won't open the GUI anymore. - Always reset special monitor active flag (A2024/Graffiti) when display mode changes, fixes A2024 mode position when window needs to reopen but resolution didn't change. - Improved windowed mode bottom statusbar height calculation, fixes two pixel gap in Windows Vista classic mode. - Fixed Amiga-side illegal memory access when booting directory harddrive(s) under KS 1.3. - Reset GUI/emulation display when Windows desktop state changes (Theme change etc..) - Removed remains of unused AROS CDFS support code. - Compiled using MSVC 2012 with update 1 installed. |

After briefly testing 2.5.1b1 on Vista SP2...
WinUAE un-pauses, un-minimises and/or hijacks focus when the theme is changed. Doesn't happen with 2.5.0 since WinUAE didn't know about theme changes then. To reproduce: Run WinUAE and start emulation. With or without pause when minimised enabled, minimise WinUAE. Change desktop theme. WinUAE window opens and captures mouse by itself. Alternately run WinUAE and start emulation. Don't pause or minimise. Uncapture mouse and click in another program's window to focus it. (Calculator, Notepad or whatever). Change theme. WinUAE captures the mouse by itself. Sound output stops after pausing and un-pausing. Boot a demo which plays music. Press Pause to pause, and press again to resume emulation. There is no sound. You can get sound to play again by disabling/enabling sound emulation or changing the default audio device. Happens with DirectSound and WASAPI. Doesn't happen with WinUAE 2.5.0. |

btw, funnily enough Vista's theme selector GUI don't handle theme changes, it gets slightly smaller each time theme is changed Quote:

EDIT: Ah, only when more compatible is set. I guess it was supported in some old version but not anymore... Quote:

http://www.winuae.net/files/b/winuae.zip should fix all above bugs. (Except if theme changes and emulation is paused, it is "feature" if window stays black)

Not sure if this is a 2.5.0-specific bug, but on playing Deluxe Galaga (AGA) on Amiga Forever 2012 since updating, I do get some random crashes in cycle-exact plus 24-bit addressing A1200 mode (Cloanto's defaults). Disabling cycle-exact (and/or 24-bit) seems to make things more stable, I'm yet to experience a crash from that.
This might be tricky to test though as it is intermittent. |

Did you replaced the file (11.12.2012 08:20)? Because now I can start the executable. The official beta I still can´t start. |

Testing the 2012-12-11 winuae.zip. If WinUAE is minimised (and automatically paused) when you change theme, it restores itself but does not un-pause. But the status bar doesn't say PAUSED. If WinUAE is going to restore its window in that case, it would be a good idea to update the status bar. Otherwise the user might think WinUAE has crashed/hung, especially since the window is black then.

Yes, you mentioned that the restoring on theme change wouldn't be changed. But would it not be possible to just refresh the status bar whenever the window is restored? That should avoid the "paused but status bar doesn't say so" issue.
