Wow, I just gave this a try and its super fast! It looks great with my old Amiga in a box install. I am thinking of setting up a new drive and putting on OS3.9 to see what it will do.

Doesn't seem to work on my laptop. Then again, I am trying to multitask with Windows98, a theoretical feature as opposed to a real one, so problems are to be expected. :-)
I'll give it another try once I'm done with what I'm working on.

Wow.  The new interface is great, and I love the new filtering options!  All it needs is a speed throttle and it will be perfect.  ;-)

I just can't believe how much better this gets with each release! It is now super-fast and ultra-stable on my PC, and I love the new GUI! Much more logically arranged than before, and it also appears to have been updated to support Windows XP-style buttons and themes etc.

Has anyone spotted the two new buttons? One for taking a screenshot, and one for ripping music modules!

Steve.

The new disk swapper is somewhat useful, and definately has potential.  As stupid as it sounds, I really like the floppy sound emulation, too!  I'm gonna have to make my own HQ samples.  :-)

Also made my own trainer for Day of the Viper using hacked save states.  Woo!  I'll actually be able to finish that game, now!

Hmm... I forget.  Didn't WinUAE have a debugger console at one point?  I didn't see any mention of it in the documentation.  I'd really like to make a proper trainter for DotV.  That game is awesome.
