WinUAE 1.5.0 beta 4

WinUAE 1.5.0 beta 4 is easily the best Amiga emulator available for Windows. As was mentioned in the previous WinUAE public beta serles, versions from today on do NO work on Windows 98/ME anymore. This update has these changes since the last Win UAE 1.5.0 public beta:

Beta 4:

NOTE: Fullscreen RTG modes are not fully working yet. Do not use.
NOTE: Before benchmarking, make sure Display panel display depth matches Picasso96 display depth.
NOTE: P96 OLD-mode not supported. Only use NEW-mode.

- “Full-window” mode does not reopen window when switching modes
- 16 and 8-bit RTG mode optimized blitter operations
- RTG template-blit (”RectFill() Pattern”) operations optimized (do pen value endian swap only once per blit, not every pixel..)
- RTG hardware mouse cursor implemented. Rock-solid, no flickering. Replace libs:picasso96/uaegfx.card with included updated version. NOTE: Make sure devs:monitors/uaegfx.info does not have forced software sprite setting. (SOFTSPRITE=Yes)
- 16-bit RectFill() graphics corruption fixed (b3)
- rom scan registry data updated, A590/A2091 ROMs work again, also version number information in the log is correct. Manual ROM rescan required or all roms will fail to load
- “favorite paths” added. Right click on floppy “Select disk image” or “..” buttons to open favorites menu. Data stored in registry, no GUI support yet. No data in registry: show beta-only example paths. There may be submenus or something similar in future if you are wondering about ‘ALL’-part.. Will be added to other path-buttons in future.

Example registry editor export:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Arabuusimiehet\WinUAE\FavoritePaths]
“PATH_ALL_01″=”d:\\amiga\\stuff\\games”
“PATH_ALL_02″=”d:\\amiga\\stuff\\demos”
“PATH_ALL_03″=”My Favorite Path #1 \”E:\\blah\\blah\\adf\”"
