WinUAE has seen a new beta update bringing the verison number to v1.6.2 Beta 4. Here's what the author has to say about this action packed episode:
0x76/0x30 partition types are marked as "PART" in GUI and read/write should really really work..
exec* command line didn't support command separation ( ; ) characters, batch files supported ("cmd.exe /c ")
fixed very old left border graphics error in Absolute Inebriation
b3 sprite fix broke other programs, fixed again
Brian the Lion "dialog screen" problem is not anything AGA-specific, BPLCON0 write needs 5 cycle delay, not 4 when written by copper. Not fixed yet, waiting odd number of cycles in copper emulation isn't currently possible and few buggy demos fixed, doing weird things with the blitter and work only accidentally.. For the first time ever Rampage/TEK works!
Absolute Inebriation/VD "red linevector cube inside white object" part now works. Bug in blitter wait, rewrites blitter registers when old blit is still active, normally this would mess up the blit but it worked because write to BLTCON1 freezes the blitter if it causes switch from "extra" cycle fillmode to normal mode.
Rampage/TEK blitter feature workaround added, another buggy demo, it changes blitter channel mode from 0x01 to 0x0D while blit is already active, result is blitter getting confused and changing to weird cycle diagram without D-channel. No writes, no memory corruption, no crash...
above cases (blitter channel mode changing while active) also writes message to log. I am not going to test all combinations
You can get it over on the WinUAE Message Board (http://eab.abime.net/forumdisplay.php?forumid=5) (check the "WinUAE 1.6.2 Beta Series" thread) or from our WinUAE page on ZD (http://www.zophar.net/amiga/winuae.html), where you can also find the most current stable release.
