WINUAE is an emulator of the Commodore Amiga

Get it here --> http://www.winuae.net/frames/download.html

WinUAE 2.3.3 (18.09.2011)

=========================

New features:

 

- New very low latency VSync mode, autodetects real refresh rate, no more 100% CPU usage, supports also windowed modes. (Not compatible with fastest possible CPU modes but planned in future)

- Experimental rawinput joystick/joypad support. (-rawhid command line parameter). Added because DirectInput is said to introduce some extra input lag.

 

Updates:

 

- Real cause for Max Transfer IDE problem found. IDE emulation detects and logs it now. (*)

- CD image audio buffer increased slightly, some systems had glitches in CD audio.

- Non-configured joystick/mouse autoswitch update: short firebutton press or move left = insert into joystick port, longer press or move right = insert into mouse port.

- Add Harddrive option does not require Administrator privileges anymore, most removable drives can be used without higher privileges, at least under Windows 7.

 

Bug fixes:

 

- IDE emulation write hang introduced in 2.3.2.

- A590/A2091 emulation crash if CPU was 68020+.

- On the fly CD switching (both images and real CDs) reliability improved.

- Direct3D blank screen problem is now 100% fixed. Really.

- win32.hardfile_path didn't work.

- On the fly resolution change didn't work correctly, resolution autoswitch improved.

- Key or joystick button mapped to mouse direction didn't work.

- Analog stick mapped to mouse had too fast and unstable speed.

 

*) Max Transfer problem was introduced with ATA v2 specification. ROM built-in IDE driver assume ATA v1 behavior, some drives are compatible with ATA v1, some are not and will require Max Transfer fix. It is NOT a drive bug. Click for details

- ADDED Automatic romspath maker and configuration. This is available in popup menu in profiles list and using a base path Romulus can detect or create folders for romspath based in Profile name or Profile description. This is a very usefull option for manage a new or already created folders. TODO LIST DONE.

- ADDED Send to generator option available in Profiles list and Scanner tool buttons. This can send the selected profile to Generator to export to other format or select/unselect roms before export or for example split a profile.

- ADDED popup menu for Scanner - loaded profiles tabs to send to first, send to last possition and delete tab.

- ADDED Automatic detection of OS Language and if is available in Romulus automatic setting up. This will be done the first Romulus run or when no INI file exists.
