FS-UAE 1.3 Development Series

[Foul]

I think Amiga Screenshot is more important than "FS-UAE" screenshot.. after.. if it's a 5 sec coding things ...it can be cool

Well, a bit more then 5 sec -Have to read the framebuffer back from the GPU, etc. Perhaps PrintScr should work like today, and Shift+PrintScr, so it easy to quickly take a unprocessed snapshot of the Amiga display if you beat a boss or something and want to document it. When you want to take an illustrative screenshot of FS-UAE, you have time to find the shift key

I recommend not to use any standard Amiga keyboard keys because Shift press may do something in currently running Amiga program. (Like using one limited powerup in a game)

Yes, I know it means quite annoying game shortcuts but imho it is still better choice.

You are right, -will rethink and rework shortcuts

[FrodeSolheim]

A bit longer delay since last release than usual, but I have been away all week!

* Updated translations: it, sr.
* Merged code from WinUAE 2.4.1.
* Added new bitmap font characters needed for Italian.
* Removed libcapsimage from fs-uae deb file (can be installed separately as package libfs-capsimage4).
* Removed libcapsimage from the source distribution (due to potential license issues, makes fs-uae package more suitable for inclusion in Linux distributions, etc).
* Tweaked the appearance of some bitmap font characters, especially Z.
* Make sure rom.key is loaded before scanning for roms.

There has been quite a lot of code changes to the fastest possible-mode code path in WinUAE 2.4.1, so please report any new problems with RTG mode / fastest possible-mode if you find any.

Have this build JIT support?!

No, I haven't had time to finish the work yet. Will have to clean up the implementation a bit and test more. 1.3.5 is a likely target for JIT on Linux/x86 unless problems crop up.

[FrodeSolheim]

I have compiled packages (both x86 and x86-64) for Fedora 16, openSUSE 12.1 and Mandriva 2011 using the openSUSE build service, and I have not tested them all. Please report if they do not work

These are also now available from http://fengestad.no/wp/fs-uae/download-beta

Is the osx resize bugfix in? Should I test it, Frode?

No, not yet, but I will fix it soon. I'll make sure to include it in the Changelog entries so you'll know when to test it

[FrodeSolheim]

Version 1.3.5 with experimental JIT support:

* Compile with JIT on x86 (32-bit) platforms.
* Compiling with -fpermissive (for now).
* Always set comp_trust* to indirect by default.
* Compile with NATMEM_OFFSET defined.
* Ported JIT code from WinUAE, E-UAE and PUAE.

http://fengestad.no/fs-uae/files/fs-...-macosx.tar.gz
http://fengestad.no/fs-uae/files/fs-...3.5-0_i386.deb
http://fengestad.no/fs-uae/files/fs-....5-0_amd64.deb
http://fengestad.no/fs-uae/files/fs-uae-1.3.5.tar.gz
(no Windows build for this version)

JIT works with indirect memory access on Linux/x86 and Mac OS X (It does not work properly on Windows yet). It is enabled by setting the option uae_cachesize, for instance:

uae_cachesize = 8192

Should work fine in this version :

Version 1.3.6 for Mac OS X: http://fengestad.no/fs-uae/files/fs-...-macosx.tar.gz
* Recreate OpenGL state when resizing window on Mac OS X.

Hello Frode,

attached you'll find a bunch of patches for Linux (most if not all would probably be correct for Android, too, though) that

- make the build system respect the user's (or in this case: the packager's :-) ) CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS,
- use toolchain macros instead of hard-coding gcc/g++/etc.

These patches don't change any defaults as you'll see but allow source-based distributions to properly build fs-uae. Of course, I've tested them extensively.

Please let me know if there's a problem with any of them.

Best regards, Wulf

Hi, and thanks. The patches applied cleanly and are merged, so 1.1.7 and onwards will contain the improvements

[Philantrop]

Thank you very much, Frode!

Hi Frode,
brilliant, window resize works now under OSX. But I found two other glitches, which were not there before.
1. the disk images
when you put image n into df0: it puts image n-1 into df0:, I think this bug comes with the new eject menu point for disk images

2. when I do a warm restart via the fs-uae menu, to reboot the amiga it crashes. Ironically the cold start works.

older versions do not have these 2 new bugs.

I am so happy about the resize, Frode.

For JIT:

try also with this config entry:

uae_cpu_speed = max

This worked for me!!

Maybe I missed something !

JIT is only available in the 32-bit version. Perhaps you're running the 64-bit version of FS-UAE?

You are almost certainly right

I'll check it out!

You're welcome -Should be able to fix the new bugs soon.

uae_cpu_speed = max is implied with A4000/040 config

[nexusle]

Ok, I use "SUPER"

Actually, both 1 and 2 is the same problem, and the Eject feature is innocent
* Fixed an input event offset problem causing soft reset to be interpreted as quit and disk swapping to be off by one (1.3.4).
(from the changelog of soon-to-be-released 1.3.7)
