Title: WinUAE 0.9.91 "WinUAE 1.0 public beta #2" released.
Post by: blobrana on August 19, 2004, 11:58:20 PM

Bugs in 0.9.90  fixed:

- Multiple directory filesystem emulation bugs (files getting truncated
to zero if opened in rw-mode, read-only files failing to open and some
operations returning incorrect AmigaDOS error codes)
- AGA horizontal scrolling bug in some games.
- Stereo separation setting was not always set properly.
- Another task-switching Direct3D/OpenGL-mode problem.

Other fixes and updates:

- Picasso96 black screen after CTRL-ALT-DEL.
- bsdsocket update, fixes ~2 second pause on some systems and
added internet connection off-line check
- CPU idle calculation update. CPU Idle-setting may need re-adjusting.
- PP Hammer and Spindizzy Worlds graphics flicker fixed in non-cycle
exact mode (again..)

I was wondering about the network pause! Can't wait to try it out!

Excellent stuff!

The news article missed out the new features bit of this release, so here it is:

Quote

New features:

- "uae-configuration" Amiga side program that can list current configuration,
  change all configuration parameters and send any inputevent on the fly.
- Both right alt and ctrl are mapped to firebutton in keyboard layout B
  (some laptops don't have right ctrl key).
- disable quickstart-mode if using -f or -config= -command
  line parameters

You mean for installing WinUAE? They're not. If people don't want start menu shortcuts or quick launch icons, then they can untick them in the installer. A zip file version isn't needed.

Steve.

Hum,
sounds like you installed the P96 software and `accidentally ` turbo charged  WinUAE...

Life is  never simple , huh?

no, i did nothing different - used the exact same config file i've been using for months. (which included the P96 software).

believe me, i ain't complaining!
