Sound sync is not lost even when emulation speed changes and sound is included with audio recording. Multiple SCSI/IDE expansion boards can be enabled at the same time. Floppy sound per-drive empty/disk inserted volume control. Added partial A1000 Velvet prototype support. Unfortunately currently no known Velvet boot disks exist. GUI Filter panel configurable overscan region blanking. Hardfile ATA and SCSI version configuration option. Fullscreen GUI option. If system has touch screen (Windows tablet for example), touching top of screen more than 2 seconds will open GUI. GUI Paths panel portable mode checkbox enabled. Configured but disconnected game controller is remembered. Updates Custom chipset display emulation partially rewritten, many A1000 vs OCS vs ECS chipset undocumented edge cases are now fully emulated. AMAX ROM dongle emulation improved. CD and disk image volume label is shown in status message bar. CPU Idle feature rewritten, lower CPU usage. More reliable simultaneous on the fly media insertions/removals. Action Replay 2/3 emulation improved. Added 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 filter panel "integer" scaling options. Audio master volume is now real master volume control. Paula, CD and AHI are sub-volume controls. Optionally disk saveimages can use same directory as parent image. More accurate 68000 bus/address error stack frame undocumented fields. Fixed bugs of WinUAE 3.0 Some CPU halted conditions caused emulator hang. Chip RAM/Slow RAM size change on the fly crash. Multiple other crash bugs fixed. Other fixed bugs Low level SCSI emulation fixes and updates. RTG mode screenshots in 16-bit host color depth mode had wrong colors. Real CD drive as emulated ATAPI or SCSI returned wrong last block. Graffiti corrupted display in non-AGA modes. Some programs had shifted display in some configurations (For example Gloom AGA, Worms Directors Cut title screens) Picasso IV graphics corruption in OS4 16-bit modes. Picasso IV mode switch out of bounds memory access crash (OS41FE). Serial port emulation lost characters in some situations. Branch FPU instructions didn't work in more accurate CPU modes. AVI recording audio/video sync problems fixed. Stuck key if "Mouse captured: emulation paused" was ticked. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 08.
