WinUAE 1.4.6 public Beta 6
A new public beta of WinUAE public beta 6 which is the best Amiga emulator available for Windows. Basically this is a WinUAE 1.4.5 fix version + something “small” that didn’t get included in WinUAE 1.4.5.. WinUAE 1.4.6 will be probably released soon after winuae.net works again. Be aware that Winuae 1.4.6 will be the last Windows 98/ME compatible version. Following version (1.5.0?) will require Windows 2000 or newer. This update has these changes:
WinUAE 1.4.6 public Beta 6:
- binary support added to debugger, ‘%10101′
- hex/dec/bin converter added to debugger, ‘?
- all debugger commands which take numeric parameters also accept register names: A0-A7 = RA0-RA7, D0-D7 = RD0-RD7, PC, USP, VBR,..
- debugger number prefixes: hex = 0x or $, bin = %, dec = !. Most command parameters default to hex (addresses) or decimal.
- do not reserve lots of jit direct ram if non-jit compatible cpu
- logitech lcd dfx/cpu/fps counter leading zeros removed (I have G15 again, updated revision this time)
- some incorrect Quickstart RTC configurations fixed
- keyboard reset warning feature emulated and added to advanced chipset panel. Reset warning information: http://cataclysm.cx/random/amiga/ref…/node0178.html Reset warning sequence is only triggered if Amiga-Amiga-CTRL key sequence pressed and reset warning setting enabled. Or Input panel event “Keycode 0×78 (Reset Warning)” is received. Amiga-Amiga-CTRL-ALT still does instant hardreset. Second Amiga-Amiga-CTRL during reset warning sequence will also cause instant reset. Pre-emptive “bug report”: if Amiga-Amiga-CTRL now causes gurus, reset delays or something weird (and does not if reset warning is disabled or GUI Reset-button clicked) you have buggy/badly configured reset handler utility installed. This is Somebody Else’s Problem.
- joystick autoswitch update: firebutton press on non-connected (to emulated Amiga port) joystick AND another joystick already in joystick port (port 1) WITH firebutton pressed = insert new joystick to mouse port
Following can be ignored if you aren’t testing custom ROM images before burning EPROM(s)
- kickstart chipram overlay maps 0xe00000 rom instead of 0xf80000, same with 0xf00000 rom if it begins with 0×1114 (emulates my 1M CDTV EPROM hack..)
- 2M ROM image support. Gayle ROM mapping:
* first 512K bank: E00000-E7FFFF (overlay bank)
* second 512K bank: A80000-AFFFFF
* third 512K bank: B00000-B7FFFF
* fourth 512K bank: F80000-FFFFFF
At least A600 and A1200 have 2MB ROM support but note that A1200 Blizzard accel’s MAPROM feature must be disabled
- cia overlay advanced chipset setting added (Pre-Gayle models use CIA overlay io pin, newer models have overlay logic inside Gayle)
- ROM Mirror advanced chipset setting separated to E0 and A8 ROM banks. (A8-B8 = Gayle feature)
