New Version Of The Amiga Emulator WinUAE

Another beta update today for the best Commodore Amiga emulator out there so if you love the Amiga and don’t want to wait for the full release when it comes let’s see what’s in store for you with this version:

on screen led was always enabled (b26)

scaling in NTSC mode really fixed (b26)

enabling autoscaling and no filters enabled: select Direct3D if at least 2.0 shaders supported (=fast enough), only select Null filter if older. (D3D9 scaling is “free” on modern hardware)

Logitech LCD SDK updated (currently waiting for G19..)

autoscale found sprites outside of bitplanes when BRDSPRT was enabled without ECSENA

vertical positioning in autoscale was wrong in some cases

AHI works again

always enable Picasso96 BIF_INDISPLAYCHAIN (not enabled means RTG mode display size of 0×0 pixels = crash)

delayed printer open, do not open until enough data received, also ignore data completely if less than 10 bytes received

added “ASCII Printer” option. Select this option if you use programs that print directly to emulated parallel port (bypassing Amiga printer drivers) and they expect old-style printers that directly accept ascii text (Action Replay, demo scene disk magazines etc..) In future this will also include emulation of old Epson matrix printer control codes (de-facto control codes that most printers supported at that time)

added missing “Automatic” aspect ratio setting in Filter panel

selecting “Full Window” mode when no filters enabled = also enable Direct3D + FS. (this is what users apparently expect, not confusing tiny image on the middle of screen)

development PC updated to Windows 7 RC
