WinUAE 4.3.0

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

New features/improvements:

GUI high DPI support rewritten.
Lagless vsync stability improvements.
Added Trojan light gun preset to Game ports panel.
On the fly chipset model switching compatibility improved.
SPTI CD/DVD access mode now internally emulates all CD audio commands. All other commands are forwarded to the drive like previously.
PCMCIA hot swap support improved. (PCMCIA SRAM and IDE needs to be set again if previously configured)
My CPU tester detected edge cases, bugs and undocumented CPU behavior updates implemented. (More details in separate CPU tester note later)
More compatible partition HDF default geometry calculation if size is 1000M or larger.
CD32 pad does not anymore disable joystick second button if both CD32 and 2-button joystick is active simultaneously.
Host directory/archive drag and drop to WinUAE window now supports mounting multiple items simultaneously.
Debugger disassembler fixes and few very rarely used instructions dissemble now correctly.

Bugs fixed:

Disk index pulses were not being generated when disk was being written (Cadaver v0.1 save disk writing)
CDTV audio CD playing state restore fixed.
A2024 monitor didn’t show full viewable area.
24-bit uaegfx RTG mode had random wrong color pixels in some situations.
nrg CD images didn’t load correctly in relative path mode.
Graphics glitch in some programs that also depended on display scaling/size (for example Alien Breed 3D)
Disk swapper path modifications did nothing while emulation was running.
Restoring CD32 or CDTV statefile with CD audio playing: start playing immediately, do not include normal CD audio start delays.
Fixed possible crash when PPC emulation stopped emulated sound card audio.
Quite special kind of CD32 pad button read code was not emulated correctly.

Other changes:

Added separate 68000-68060 CPU tester/validator project based on UAE CPU core generator.
Removed all 68020 cycle-exact CPU mode internal idle cycles. It mainly slowed down the CPU too much and didn’t match real world well enough.
