Thanks for the update! What is the difference between misc panel and this?

Oops. I mixed OCS/ECS vs AGA border glitch which is 1 hires pixel (for example Shadow of the Beast) and AGA borderblank glitch which is 1 shres pixel.

Totally different. New option disables the ROM device driver because post-KS3.1 versions have longer detection delay (with or without IDE drive) that can't be skipped. More details in previous beta changelogs.

Ah, right:

"- Added IDE scsi.device disable hack. Removes ROM scsi.device from exec ResModules list, does not modify ROM. UAE boot ROM must be enabled. Config file only scsidevice_disable=true. Disabling is not done if any IDE device is added to A600/A1200/A4000 IDE or indirect ROM mode is enabled. Makes booting noticeably quicker on OS39 and newer KS versions if mainboard IDE is not needed."

I wonder if the DIP Agnus makes any difference? (i.e. put old Denise in A500 with OCS Fat Agnus and see whether issue still present) Would be worth noting the revision of the Denise chip (printed on it, don't think there's a way to check in software).

It is guaranteed to be Denise.

Agnus horizontal strobe slot has not changed between different Amiga models (which is used to reset Denise horizontal counter) and blanking is Denise-only feature.

I am not going do any A1000 chip replacements, because it practically requires removal of daughterboard. But I can test A1000 Denise variants on A500, if someone has extras.. There might be also overscan tester appearing someday in the future.

All certainly patchable, the problem is that for some of those games it could be long and tedious.. (even if the "glitch" seems minimal, there is not an immediate solution).
But I trust that sooner or later it will happen

Found that this setting renders that output

Do you have filters enabled ? I can't reproduce with your settings and latest beta ( pic 1 ).

[no9]

None. But I should mention I did run it on 4.9.0. Sorry for missing that info. 4.9.1 beta freezes moments after starting emulation.

[hexaae]

Just a question: is it normal that after "uae-configuration gfx_filter_autoscale integer_auto " + WinUAE Display settings = SuperHires the screen becomes stamp size?



Won't happen leaving default Display=Hires instead.

EDIT: started a generic thread http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=109502

I'd hate to see the size of your letters and letter box

Sounds like not 4.9.0/.1 specific.

Can't duplicate and not enough information. EDIT: and probably not 4.9.x specific either?

EDIT2: does same happen if you boot without startup-sequence? (and does it happen with 4.4 too?)

Also can't duplicate.

I guessed what happened (next time, please attach config and log). It was 16-bit graphics mode (that is is quite rare today) only problem. Fixed.

"freeze" = run with log window open ("-log") and take note log line when it freezes. (But 4.9.1 shouldn't have any changes that affect host side..)

Above post was deleted. This is a quick reminder that this is not a wishlist/non-4.9.x bug/feature/whatever thread.

[hexaae]

PT3.62 works fine even when launched from my AGA + RTG P96 3.2.2 WB but I have to use ModePro (see Aminet) to force "planar screen" to be safe. Then it crashes when browsing MODS: dir with long filenames but that's a different story as it didn't support it...

[DZh]

I tried various options - OCS, all ECS, AGA but result is approximately the same. Also tried JIT and cycle-exact. Before beta 4 it works.

[Zarnal]

Can you upload somewhere your version please. I have tried with the version provided by Hexaae and I am unable to reproduce with many CE and JIT modes ?
