Understood.

Note: all the problems described by Amilo3438 are confirmed. I provide the corresponding savestates. DC-Batman, Complex-Equipose and LastA500.

I will resume testing after the next beta.

Note 2: in my tests, I noticed some blinking issues ( with static screen )

must be activated to reproduce the black screen issue with interlaced/hi-res screen in games like Tramua Zer0 intro or Lionheart main menu.

I also confirm, I had some problems with this option (Ozf-Rendervous for example).

And I confirm the black screen issue with LionHeart if this option is enabled. " Remove interlace artifact ".

I haven't retested T-Zero yet.

EDIT: winuae.7z fixes this (and incorrectly forcing OCS/ECS bitplane limits when loading some AGA statefiles)

Ok, this solved 3 mentioned problems, except this one:

"BG-BatmanVuelveSlide2" - still has problem in the bottom scroller ! (obviously not a sprite problem)

What to check:

- Really bad performance. (But buy a new PC if you have something like pre-Sandy Bridge era CPU). New emulation is more complex but also some previous "lazy evaluation" optimizations might not be fully working.

I see no problem with the performance ! (it seems to perform even better and much smoother than previous beta16 on one of my old quadcore E5450)

"Upfront-CoolFridge" demo part:
- SMOOTH PLASMA (on the top) - scroller text broken in beta18 (EDIT: latest winuae.7z)
- SMOOTH COPPER (in the middle) - broken in beta18
- FLEXIBLE ZOOM (on the bottom) - broken from beta12

EDIT:
"RAF-TriumphMeetingIntro" - strange lines above and below the moving tape in beta18 (latest winuae.7z)

Enough testing for today!

Smooth-Copper confirmed ( see savestate )

Flexible-Zoom confirmed ( see savestate )

For smooth-Plasma with b18, i don't see the problem with the scrolltext.
Edit : It is present only with latest Winuae.7z but not in official b18.
Edit 2 : same thing for RAF, only with latest Winuae.7z but not in official b18.

FYI
There is a new winuae.7z (evening version) that fixed those mentioned problems!

EDIT:

"MAYHEM-Expiration" - glitches an cube rotation part with 68000, but fine with 68010 cpu!
"TOMMY-Bobs" - stops at 1st beginning with 68000, but fine with 68010 cpu!

Looks like both demos has some/same 68000 cpu undefined problem !

EDIT: New problem found! (tested on QS A500 ECS most common configuration)
"ABYSS-Curious" - nothing happens after text rotation part! (broken from beta13)

With official beta 18 ? I ask you this question because Toni wrote that we must only test with official betas and not with winuae.7z.

Toni Wilen · 27 April 2021, 19:46

No need to do more tests until next beta.

btw, "Remove interlace artifacts" should be disabled. It is not going to be supported until later.

Yes, so I also report findings that happen on previous versions and new beta18 like this one:

"Quarterline-TrRickDangerous" - broken from beta18

I am not sure if I will be in the mood for testing then, so I doing it now. (until I get bored)

If you agree, you can send me your results. I will retest all after the next beta.

There is no difference between now or then!
Sorry, NO way!

I was doing nothing more than retesting previous problems mentioned on "Problematic Demos" topic (1st page):

https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=70736

So it is all there for who wants to continue with ungrateful work.

Most b18 glitches fixed.

Beta 19:

- Bitplane max plane limit was calculated before internal aga=true variable was set. Loading AGA statefile forced OCS/ECS limits if FMODE was not updated in copper list.
- Fixed sprite glitches in some situations.
- Fixed graphics glitches if resolution was changed in horizontal blanking region.
- Different bitplane delay for odd and even planes didn't work correctly in some situations.
- Fixed memory buffer overflow when some types of file dialog was opened. (old bug)

Note: "Remove interlace artifacts" Display panel option is currently not supported. It must be disabled.
Note: Blitter cycle allocation is not yet pipelined. (Which is the real cause for 2 idle cycles after writing to BLTSIZE.) This will most likely affect copper blitter wait timing.

The second and third paragraph at the very beginning of Desert Dreams is missing the first row of pixels on b18 and b19, A500 quickstart config.

2/ Flexible-Zoom : first effect has issue, see state 2.

Abyss-Curious :
