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..
Download it from www.winuae.net (http://www.winuae.net).

:banana:

Oh yeah...
Probably one of the best reasons ever to own a Windows-based PC!
Cheers,
Mike.

Possibly the only reason. :lol:
-
And its such a good reason as our original Amiga hardware get older and less reliable with time.
-
So there must be no reason to own a Mac then? :lol:
-
Hmmm. I just ordered Cloanto's Amiga Forever 2008. I know it uses an UAE core. But can one use the UAE updates to update an install of Amiga Forever?
-
Where can i download 1.5.1 from?
I only see version 1.5.0.

My hero! :-D

Yes. Amiga Forever features an on-line updater that updates the package (including WinUAE) automatically.
-
Now it's time for an E-UAE update. Where's evilrich? :)
-
Amiga Forever in Windows uses WinUAE (and updates like AmiKit mentions).
The KX Light (live CD) uses E-UAE and needs to be updated manually. That is if there was an update available...
-
So there must be no reason to own a Mac then?
Has there ever been one?
-
Yes...
The same reasons of owning an Amiga instead of a pc at 1990.
-
More expensive, less capable and if something break all the hell breaks loose? :-D
-
maybe about more expensive.. for sure, not less capable, and one more thing that amiga didn't had better at that time that mac has...
better constructed quality and better quality parts... the second not something rocket science but better.
expensive to fix but more difficult to die.
and the most strong argument thats the only non subjective:
in whole history of technology the worst inventions became the "standard" the less worst just survived and the best died...
:-D
can I ask you why you were interested in amiga back then? (if you were ofcourse)
