- keyboard fix (some key presses were missed when pressing multiple keys)
- A1000 emulation fixes
- AVIOutput update (Sane)

- fixed joystick bugs in compatibility mode
- fast RAM state save fix

new features:

- full harddisk image support (hdtoolbox, RDB, custom filesystems, SFS and PFS3 confirmed working)
- uaescsi.device improvements, confirmed compatible with CacheCDFS, AmiCDFS and AsimCDFS
  (disk change support added and use of direct scsi-mode is not needed anymore)
- Action Replay 1 support (but breakpoints don't work)
- CPU idle (tries to detect use of STOP-instruction, may not be complatible with all Amiga software..)
- floppy speed slider is back
- new AHI code and driver (Bernd Roesch)
- Amiga <> Windows clipboard support (Bernd Roesch)
- on the fly switching between OpenGL and DirectDraw mode
- on the fly switching between vsync and non-vsync mode
- compressed Kickstart ROM image support
- build-in screenshot function, shortcut key: F11 (Sane)
- experimental (and much slower) cycle-exact cpu and blitter emulation mode
  WARNING: requires at least 50%+ more cpu power than "regular" mode.
  Athlon XP/Pentium IV + DDR/RAMBUS RAM highly recommended!
  WARNING2: Frameskip must be set to 1
  WARNING3: very experimental, timing is quite far from perfection
- wkeykill.dll support (disables Windows-keys)
- OpenGL scanline brightness slider added

and more..

I haven't been able to open the website since I made the downloads, therefor will I the rest of the day have the zip-file for download on my website: http://gnaf.hjem.orangenet.dk/WinUAE/WinUAE0822R1.zip :-D

But it didn't work on my computer, I need WinUAE0821R2, that is the last version that works on my computer :-(

[jumpship]

Having the same problem, will not load up. All I get is a black screen :-(

Seems fine here as a drop-in replacement for the WinUAE in Amiga Forever 5.

[hnl_dk]

I think it's because they made the OpenGL implantation :-?

[bhoggett]

I think it's because they made the OpenGL implantation

AFAICT that has to be specifically enabled, and is disabled by default, so I don't think that's it.

It didn't work on my computer system at first either, but I found a way to work around it.  Go and delete your default preferences and create new ones from the "default" settings when no default has been defined.  Save the new settings as Default and viola... got the black screen but it's working here... and I've got PFS3 working on a hard file to boot!  I'm starting to get happy now...

:pint:

[jumpship]

Ok, sorta got it to run, but it now is as slow as a slug!

[System]

I like the new features, but I switched back to version 0.8.21R4, as the sound doens't work too well on my system. I get lots of background noises and hitches while playing games.  :-(

[bhoggett]

It defaults to running at A500 speed. You need to go through the settings and set it to "Fastest possible".

[Kent]

It might be just a default at A500 speed but it sort of hickups on this end... double clicking on the icons sometimes takes over a second or three.  Oh well.  Back to 8.21r4 for me as well... it was fun while it lasted with PFS3 though.

:pint:

[Kent]

It seems there are people still having problems downloading the 8.22R1 release.  I've put a mirror of this on my personal web space for anyone to download as they see fit.
