[Robert]

Commodore Amiga emulator

 

WinUAE 1.5.1 (12.08.2008)

=========================

 

Major 1.5.0 bugs fixed:

 

- Failed to start with some display card/driver combinations.

- Regular (non-RDB) OFS formatted hardfiles didn't mount under KS 1.3.

- Memory corruption in configuration file handling causing random crashes when loading or saving configuration files.

- Configuration files in subdirectories didn't load if configuration cache was enabled.

- RTG hardware mouse cursor may have been invisible (or had wrong graphics) in some cases after resolution change.

- Switching between non-interlaced and interlaced modes caused random "scanline" graphics corruption.

 

Other bug fixes:

 

- Built-in HRTMon crashed in JIT modes.

- Interlace modes fixed in "normal" (non-doubled/scanline) modes.

- Fixed borderblank graphics corruption in interlaced modes.

- Fixed possible crashes when switching Windows desktop resolution or when using quick user switching.

- "Kickstart Replacement" fixed.

- PCMCIA SRAM emulation didn't work in memory expansion mode.

- Emulation paused if "stop sound while inactive/minimzed" was enabled.

- Improved directory filesystem statefile support.

- AVI recording crash if only audio recording was enabled.

- Native DLL support fixed.

- Forced fullscreen refresh rates didn't work in some cases.

- Multiple identical (same serial number) USB game controllers do not confuse input system anymore.

- Major blitter slowdown in some AGA modes.

- ADF was not updated if disk write was aborted (Cadaver save disk)

- Crash when USB mouse/joystick was removed or inserted before emulation was started.

 

New and improved features:

 

- Added support for Direct3D pixel shader filters (very fast compared to software filters, pixel shader 2.0+ compatible display card required), plain Direct3D filter performance improved. Latest (August 2008 or later) DirectX required.

- In windowed mode all resolution or chipset/RTG mode switches resize the window instead of window closing and opening.

- Aspect ratio setting added to RTG and filter panels.

- Window resize enabled in windowed mode (chipset mode).

- Added Picasso96 option "Always scale in windowed mode" which enables window resizing and disables automatic resize. Keeps aspect ratio automatically.

- Only reset fullscreen mode when resolution or depth changes.

- On the fly USB mouse/joystick insert/removal does not modify currently selected input device(s) in Ports-panel.

- Enable ini-mode (registry replacement) if .ini (without .exe) is found. Previously always used winuae.ini.

 

And more. Originally 1.5.1 was planned to be "1.5.0 bug fix" update only..
