Beta 15: (RC7) This hopefully becomes final version and will be officially released in next few days.

- 4.10.0 introduced low to high/high to low IPL delay is optional and off by default, it seems to only happen when Paula IPL lines have extra load (like expansion devices or logic analyzer probes..). Config file only: ipl_delay=true
- Fixed About panel title font size.
- Debugger command mid command calculation support fixed (for example "d $1234+10 1" works again)
- RC tag removed.

Something strange is happening!
Run the emu, click on host / IO ports and it crashes with .dmp file! (only on 32 bit version)
In the zone! (3 crashes .dmp files)

Note: Sorry, maybe is not version specific! (just checked it happens on 4910 too!)

EDIT: On winuae 4400 it does not crashes in 32-bit version!

EDIT2: On winuae 4400 also shows (Not responding) for a while but it does not crashes after than it works! (on every next 32-bit version it crashes)

I don't know, maybe is system specific! (Note: I have disabled serial and printer in the pc bios, but not sure is that the cause as it works on winuae 64-bit, i.e. does not crashes!)

No crash here, tried multiple times.

[Aulapatchuc]

No crash here also tried multiple times. Maybe a configuration problem on your side?

[Toni Wilen]

It looks like EnumPrinters() (which is win32 API method that returns information about installed printers) returns garbage. Possibly some bad driver? (printer drivers always suck, some more, some less ) No one else has reported this so it must be something in your system.

Hmm, but why than it doesn't crash on winuae 4400? (anyway, thanks for investigating)

No idea. Code has been identical at least since 2.x.

Mmmh, got again the "dead keyboard issue" after a Standby + Restore for WinUAE... but I'm almost sure I was able to run and quit Lionheart WHD before it happened (so I pressed the WHDLoad quit key and it worked, but then on the WB keyboard was dead again).
Input settings > deselect+select "WinUAE keyboard, Device enabled: ON" made it work again.
Still can't find a reliable pattern to reproduce it on purpose...

Notice I use a BT mouse with a timeout for battery saving... I wonder if somethings strange happens to the device order list after standby that could confuse WinUAE keyboard detection... Never had this kind of bug with 4.9.1.

Will you guys please stop breaking things!

(btw I realise that the ability to break things is the main criteria of a true beta-tester!)

Toni, your attention to detail and sheer perfectionism never ceases to amaze me!

Tony, I forgot how I can make another donation for your great work... Could you reenlight me how to do it?

@all the others: Consider acknowleding Tony's superb work and helpfulness... whatever you can spare, 1€ helps if everyone using WinUAE donates. He is investing so much time, skill and effort and I think he deserves having an cool vacation ))

It is correct. Same on real ECS A500. (Offset in scroller if ECS, no offset if OCS)

I will wait for the new Winuae 5 non beta version.
Or is it save to use this beta version?

P.s. I have donated money to Toni for his great work.
I really love this emulator.

Really?


Hint: That thread that TCD posted above, is the final released non-beta version of WinUAE 5.0.0
