Emulator: WinUAE 2.3.2
Version 2.3.2 of the Amiga emulator WinUAE was published. For the first time the update uses the AROS/68k-version as Kickstart replacement if an original file ist not available.
New features:
- AROS ROM replacement development snapshot included, replaces old
very basic ROM replacement feature, used by default if official
KS ROM is not found
- New autofire option. Button released = autofire. Button pressed = normal non-autofire firebutton
- Stop the CPU and wait until blitter has finished if any blitter register is accessed while blitter is busy and CPU mode is fastest possible
- Better workaround than immediate blitter for programs that have blitter wait bugs with fast CPU
- Serial port telnet server
Updates:
- Disk emulation accuracy improved (Codertrash / Mexx, El Egg Tronic Quarts / Quadlite)
- CIA timer undocumented startup delays emulated (Risky Woods sound glitches)
- win32.floppy_path and win32.hardfile_path really works as expected
- Display panel refresh rate accepts non-integer values
Fixed bugs:
- Implemented workaround that should fix Direct3D blank screen problem
- Sample ripper crash
- 68000 exception 3 emulation fixed again. (Broke compatibility with some
very old copy protections, for example Soldier of Light and Zoom!)
- Reset bug that broke Arcadia mode, A1000 mode and Action Replay ROMs
- Automatic resolution switch interlace detection was unreliable
- CD32 early boot menu is accessible again
- Rare crash when switching from fullscreen RTG mode to native mode
- Borderblank chipset feature didn't work in ECS Denise mode
- Possible input configuration corruption due to uninitialized variable
- Color change table overflow crash that can happen when emulated program crashes really badly

Carsten Schröder (cs): Newsticker
Philippe Bourdin (pab): Technician

New webinterface for amiga-news.de chat
The IRC-channel #amiganews is one of the oldest and probably most active German chat room about the Amiga. Thanks to a hint of Christian Rosentreter now we can offer a comfortable webinterface which can be accessed by any web browser.
The webinterface does not work with IBrowse or AWeb but the channel can be used with a traditional IRC-client: irc.freenode.net, Port: 6667, Kanal: #amiganews.
