WinUAE 4.3.0 Beta 6

Description

WinUAE is a 32-bit Windows version (XP/Vista/7) of the UAE Amiga Emulator. UAE is the collaborative effort of a number of Amiga enthusiasts to create a portable Amiga emulator under the GNU Public License. The source-code for all UAE versions is available, and donated code is always appreciated.

 

WinUAE allows you to run Amiga software under Windows, including many games, demos, and applications. General compatibility is excellent, and there are a number of enhancements in WinUAE compared to a standard Amiga computer.

 

Features:

 

WinUAE is a very feature-rich implementation of an Amiga:

  • Picasso96 RTG support, so that your Amiga can make use of all available display modes of your PC graphics-card. P96-RTG is implemented as a Zorro-III graphics-card to the Amiga.
  • CD-ROM, CDTV and CD32 drive support, for accessing Amiga CD-ROM discs.
  • Windows file-system support, so that your Amiga can use your PC hard-drive's file-system directly. Makes it easy to share files between Windows and the Amiga.
  • Full Harddisk support, for maximum compatibility, and reduced risk. HDToolbox, RDB and custom filesystems supported. Able to mount real hard disks with RDB and Amithlon partitions. Kickstart 1.3 hardfiles now supported with FastFileSystem in KS roms directory.
  • Zorro-III memory-expansion support, so that you can emulate an Amiga with up to 2GB of RAM.
  • Super-Alice custom-chip, with up to 8-Megs of Chip Memory.
  • Virtual networking support, through either your Ethernet or Dial-Up Networking connection to the world.
  • MIDI output support.
  • JIT CPU emulation.
  • Action Replay 1/2/3 support.
  • Compressed Kickstart ROM support.
  • All keys now usable as Amiga keys including Windows keys and are usable in Input-tab configuration.
  • Floppy disk speed slider and configurable floppy drive types.
  • Quickstart mode allows you to select pre-configured Amiga models
  • And many, many more!

Changelog

4.3.0 beta series.

 

Beta 6:

 

  • DMA debugger SPRxPOS/SPRxCTL and SPRxDATA/SPRxDATB was swapped.
  • Lagless vsync: use raster line polling if Windows 7. D3DKMTWaitForVerticalBlankEvent() (still) seems to work badly in Windoes 7 (b5).
  • PCMCIA overrode any Z2 boards at 0x600000-0x9fffff range. Any Z2 board conflict will now disable PCMCIA. (This is not really what happens in real world but you can't easily have multiple Z2 boards in A600 or A1200 either in real world. It can get confusing if you change Z2 boards and suddenly one or both boards simply stop working.)
  • Added limits to internal horizontal bitplane rendering, in some situations (high AGA fetch mode, high resolution and/or subpixel mode) it overflowed to next line.
  • Added support for AccessX 2000 IDE controller. Same ROM contents, different ROM address/data line "scrambling" than used in 500 variant.
  • 68010 CLR.B caused address error. (CPU tester previous beta updates missed size check..)
  • CPU tester updates, more bus error and address error special cases (branch instruction jumping to bus error address - 2 etc) checked and correctly emulated. Trace is also now much better supported.
