WinUAE clock not updated after Windows resume from sleep

[hexaae]

Beta31.
As the subjects says even with the MISC option "Syncronize clock = ON" Workbench wasn't aware (2-3 minutes later) the PC clock has changed after a overnight resume... have had to use SetClock LOAD from shell...

What I did:
with these options enabled:



I ALT+Tabbed to Windows desktop and manually put the laptop in Sleep mode. On resume the next morning when I uniconified WinUAE and everything was working fine, I noiced Amiga clock didn't update. I didn't open F12 GUI panel, just uniconified the emulator.

WinUAE already listens for WM_POWERBROADCAST which executes clock sync if system has resumed (sleep, hibernate etc).

Did clock sync after pause/unpause? or GUI enter/exit?

I didn't open the GUI (F12) to test... just waited to see if at some point the AmigaOS clock would have been updated. Actually the emu was never paused, even when iconified I kept the emu running... 'till I put the laptop to sleep.
Will test next time.

GUI enter/exit (F12 and then Cancel) = yes
Pause/resume = yes

@Toni
Would be possible to add clock sync when you just re-activate WinUAE's screen/window, resuming from iconification or just clicking on it?

[Toni Wilen]

Simple alt-tab = clock sync would be annoying in some situations.

Syncronize clock option should automatically keep clock in sync as long as emulation is running (not paused).

Option has two modes:

- when resuming/unpause/exit gui (which is basically same as unpause): AmigaOS clock is set to host clock.
- when emulation is running: CIA-A TOD is synced to real world 50Hz (or 60Hz if NTSC) timing. AmigaOS uses this as a clock source. Make sure you have "bigbox" Amiga configured (Advanced chipset CIA-A TOD source = Power supply). If source is vsync, clock will drift (drifts also in real world).

Not a big problem pressing Pause key twice, but a smarter sync on resume would be better IMHO.

[Toni Wilen]

Resume from sleep generated expected WM_POWERBROADCAST message.

https://download.abime.net/winuae/files/b/winuae.7z adds log message when WM_POWERBROADCAST arrives and two SETSYSTIME log messages if clock sync was started.

Do you get all 3 messages when resuming from sleep?

Tested after manual Hibernation and resume:

Uniconified WinUAE and clicked on Workbench...
I see no WM_POWERBROADCAST or SETSYSTIME strings.

My current cfg: https://pastebin.com/QAqxrGvj

What if you don't iconify it (and make sure it does not do it automatically)? Perhaps this causes something unexpected.

[hexaae]

Maybe are simply these settings? I do never pause emulation.



EDIT: tested without auto-minimize on focus lost and still happened with WinUAE never been iconified. I'm quite confident are just the settings above and never knows in this case if Windows has resumed from sleep/hibernation.

[Toni Wilen]

Looks fine..

So you don't see any POWERBROADCAST log messages if you run with log window open (-log):

- run some basic windowed Amiga config, for example basic A500 with insert disk screen is fine. No need for clock sync option to be enabled.
- sleep or hibernate PC
- resume from sleep/hibernate
- Amiga window and log window is still open.

Note that there are usually dozens of new log lines added when resuming because display and sound require re-initializing. POWERBROADCAST line might be earlier line.

If it appears, try same with more complex config. If it does not: need to find why it isn't working.

(works fine here)

That's so strange (and took me a lot of trial & error):
https://pastebin.com/Dv94PbrL
this config WON'T show POWERBROADCAST in the log, but if you change lines:
...
141. gfx_fullscreen_amiga=true -> false
...
214. hardfile2=rw,DH0:.\WinUAE files\winuae_hd0.vhd,32,1,2,512,0,.\ROMS\SmartFilesystem,uae4 -> remove line
215. uaehf4=hdf,rw,DH0:.\\WinUAE files\\winuae_hd0.vhd,32,1,2,512,0,.\ROMS\SmartFilesystem,uae4 -> remove line
216. hardfile2=rw,DH1:.\WinUAE files\winuae_hd1c.vhd,32,1,2,512,-128,.\ROMS\SmartFilesystem,uae6 -> remove line
217. uaehf5=hdf,rw,DH1:.\\WinUAE files\\winuae_hd1c.vhd,32,1,2,512,-128,.\ROMS\SmartFilesystem,uae6 -> remove line
...
POWERBROADCAST will show up!
If I remove just lines 214÷217 (the HD files) or just change 141 it won't happen: both must be changed to restore POWERBROADCAST.

Hi Toni,
just wanted to report that I was able to reproduce this issue even with 4.9.1: closed the lid of my notebook the night before (sleep and then hibernated) and this morning I woke up the PC and WinUAE still reported the old clock. A "Setclock LOAD" or WinUAE pause/unpause can workaround the issue in this case and restore correct Windows host clock.

[Toni Wilen]

Yeah but I can't duplicate it. It seems Windows refuses to send "woken up" message in your system. It makes no sense.

[hexaae]

Mmmh, how can I verify is Windows? Ideas... (other win programs I could test to see if they are affected etc.)?
From #13 it looked like a WinUAE custom cfg issue...

Do you mean it stops working if fullscreen?

[hexaae]

Sorry for delay...
Tested again and DID NOT happen with WB in windowed mode. Maybe it affects only full-window mode for some reason (DX11)?
