- big E-UAE merge, cleanups, optimizations etc..

 

Bug fixed:

 

- Reboot loop if RTG RAM without Z3 RAM enabled (1.3.2 bug)

- Hardfile TD_GETGEOMETRY buffer overflow fix

- RDB emulation failed to mount partition(s) if RDB had one or more not needed filesystems and required FS was in ROM.

- Selecting "Mousehack mouse" crashed if HD emulation was not enabled.

- "Genlock connected" GUI checkbox fixed (1.3.2 bug)

- Clicking eject in GUI and immediately selecting another floppy image enables delayed insert instead of immediately inserting the image.

- Input panel key mapped to reverted back to its default mapping after saving and loading the configuration.

- Directory filesystem Windows flag-AmigaOS flag handling fixes.

- Bsdsocket.library Remote Desktop compatibility fix.

- Dual core directory filesystem freeze workaround

- Some minor blitter timing and CIA emulation fixes.

- Stereo sound channel swap setting stored in configuration.

 

Major new features:

 

- Lightpen/lightgun emulation.

- Built-in 7zip decompression support.

- Unrar.dll rar archive decompression support.

- Sound emulation partially rewritten, better latency, possible fix for scratchy sound on some systems. Sound emulation will be automatically disabled when emulated audio subsystem is idle. Audio status led implemented.

- Better DMS error handling, encrypted DMS files are transparently decrypted.

- bsdsocket.library ReleaseCopyOfSocket() implemented (AmiVNC fixed)

- Improved AF rom.key support.

- ProWizard module ripper updated to latest version.

- 100% accurate sound emulation mode does not cause huge CPU usage anymore with specific games, for example Paradroid 90 and Rambo 3.
