Emulator: Preview to WinUAE 1.4.6
As usual the developers of the well-known Amiga emulator WinUAE have given a short preview to the forthcoming version. WinUAE 1.4.6 will be published in one or two weeks and will be the last revision of the emulator which will run on Windows 98/ME.

Bug fixes in WinUAE 1.4.6:
  • Mouse never capturing. (Windows 98/ME, rarely on W2K/XP)
  • Some games crashing (temporary workaround: enable >2M Chip RAM)
  • Broken sprite outside playfields-feature and SWIV score information
  • Fullscreen mode with non-default refresh rate fallback problem
  • A600/A1200/A4000 IDE emulation froze with >2G drives/HDFs
  • CDTV E.S.S. Mega: "semi-hidden" track now loads properly on W2K/XP
  • Crash when switching between <=2MB Chip + Fast and >2MB Chip setting
  • Sound emulation tweak (Dungeon Master II)
  • Unstable NMI option in cycle-exact and more-compatible modes
  • "Full-window" mode didn't always allow Windows desktop RTG resolution

New features of WinUAE 1.4.6:
  • Inverted mouse and analog joystick input sources
  • Input device (USB joystick, mouse etc..) on the fly insertions and removals supported. Device names saved to configuration file
  • Automatic joystick switching, firebutton 'inserts' any non-selected joystick to Amiga joystick port. Second button selects mouse port
  • Dynamic JIT direct memory allocation. Increased Z3 and RTG maximum sizes to 1G and 512M (At least 2G physical RAM required)
  • A3000 confirmed 2.04 ROM added to ROM scanner
  • Directory filesystem ACTION_EXAMINE_ALL implementation is more compatible with buggy programs
  • CIA/Gayle overlay emulation setting added to advanced chipset
  • Original early A1000 non-EHB Denise added
  • Original A1000 (and early A2000) Agnus blitter busy bug added
  • Keyboard reset warning emulated and added to advanced chipset
  • Debugger improvements, hex/dec/bin converter, all commands that accept numeric parameters also accept register names (RAx,RDx,PC,USP,VBR,..), number prefixes supported, hex = 0x or $, bin = %, dec = !
  • 1M (both 0xe0/0xf8 and 0xf0/0xf8) and 2M (0xa8/0xb0/0xe0/0xf8) ROM image support
  • Implemented "Fullscreen" filtering option

AmigaOS 4: SDL 1.2.11 as a "Shared Object"
Richard Drummond has published an update of the multimedia library SDL which is supposed to make it more easy for programmers to develop portable applications and which is used by many Open-Source games.

The current version of SDL (changelog) is now implemented as a "Shared Object". This means it will be linked by SDL applications only at the start of the program - similar to the library principle of AmigaOS. (cg) (Translation: dr)

A/NES 1.16b2 (AGA)

The updated version of the Nintendo Entertainment System emulator A/NES includes some bug fixes. Additionally the program now emulates the noise of the optional NES-disk drives with the help of the Amiga drive.

With this update the author probably will finish the development of A/NES because of a lack of time. Additionally the interest of the users has reduced.
