WinUAE 0.9.91 "WinUAE 1.0 public beta #2" released.

[blobrana]

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!

when are they returning to zip files?

Excellent stuff!

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

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

when are they returning to zip files?

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.

well, even though i hate exe files (can't trust stuff like that on windows), i tried installing this and WOW! is my emulation faster now!!!!

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

Life is  never simple , huh?

[cecilia]

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!
