Emulator: WinUAE 3.0.0 with PowerPC emulation
Version 3.0.0 of the well-known Amiga emulator WinUAE has been released. The main new feature is the PowerPC emulation of a PowerPC accelerator board which first was introduced in the beta versions.
New emulated hardware:
- PPC CPU emulation. CyberStorm PPC and Blizzard PPC boards emulated
using QEMU PPC core, on-board SCSI supported
- Other accelerator boards emulated (Blizzards, CyberStorms, Warp
Engine, TekMagic, A2630), including on-board SCSI if available
- More SCSI expansion boards emulated (Fastlane, Oktagon, Blizzard Kit IV)
- CD32 Full Motion Video cartridge emulation
- CDTV-CR emulation
- A590 XT hard drive emulation
New features:
- Show on screen message when disk or CD is inserted or ejected or input
device is autoswitched
- Added null serial port mode that connects two WinUAE instances running
on same PC
- Fastest possible CPU speed mode is now available with cycle-exact mode,
CPU is fastest possibly, only chip memory and chipset is cycle-exact
- Immediate blitter is available in cycle-exact modes
- 68040/060 with more compatible emulates instruction cache, MMU supported
- 68000/68010 + 32-bit address space is supported
- Optionally game controllers can be kept active when WinUAE does not have focus
- Implemented secondary Z2 RAM board, for example 6M Z2 RAM + 2M Z2 RTG board combination is now possible
- Added "history" menu to filesystem, hardfile and tape drive path selection
- Added CDTV/CDTV-CR/CD32 turbo CD read mode
- Multiple SCSI controllers can be active simultaneously
Updates:
- Programmed chipset display modes accuracy improved
- Uncompressed CHD harddrive image write support
- Implemented previously unavailable small Z2 RAM board sizes (64k to 512k)
- Z3 board emulation supports official autoconfig space, required when using PPC-only operating systems
- 68000 cycle exact mode updates
- Improved cycle counting in 68000 more compatible mode
Bugs fixed:
- 68060 with "Unimplemented CPU emu" checkbox ticked: 68060 only unimplemented instructions were not emulated normally
- Screenshot with D3D shader filter enabled always took filtered screenshot
- SCSI CD READ CD command only worked if audio track was first track of CD
- Hard reset didn't reset map rom loaded KS ROM data
- AGA sprites in borders were clipped incorrectly in some situations (2.8.0)
- Autofire always on mode crashed
- PCMCIA IDE emulation was broken long time ago
- uanet.device + slirp combination was unusable
- Directory filesystem statesave support open file path handling fixed
- AVI audio recording always used PCM mode
