Retro-Gaming: WHDLoad 17.0
Mit WHDLoad lassen sich Spiele und Szene-Demos, die nur für den Diskettenbetrieb gedacht waren, auf einer Festplatte installieren. Außerdem werden zahlreiche Inkompatibilitäten mit neueren Amiga-Modellen beseitigt. Änderungen seit der letzten Version:
- chg: documentation about Snoop feature now explains in detail which
cia registers are checked in which way (StingRay)
- chg: the install script template function P_AskDisk is additional
able to check for disks which contain a named file instead
only by volume name
- chg: the joypad emulation in kickemu 3.1 now supports a force
option to disable the auto sensing of lowlevel.library
- fix: kickfs.s now properly supports reading and writing to the same
file handle if IOCACHE is used
- new: support/detection of special HRTmon builtin WinUAE added
(monitor must be entered one time before WHDLoad can see it!)
- fix: when file for PreLoad was larger than the largest free memory
block this could lead to an DOS error #205 after all remaining
files have been preloaded, this bug has been introduced in
version 16.9, issue #2154
- chg: on option NoResInt/S WHDLoad checks and terminates if blitter
is active on entering via a resload function
- chg: trap hook now checks if vector is odd and aborts then
- chg: if option NoMMU/S is active WHDLoad now more correctly checks
the actual MMU setup and warns about translations of 0..3000
- chg: amount of disassembled code lines increased (Psygore)
- fix: output for disassembling of some instructions were corrected
by Psygore, (moveq #-x; cmp/add/and/move/bset/bchg/... #$nnxx;
bitfield with offset 0)
- fix: crashes on M-Tec 630 boards without FPU fitted caused by the
FPU detection inside WHDLoad fixed, board causes 'coprocessor
protocol violation's instead of 'line-f emulator', thanks to
Die BORG for lending the hardware
- chg: there are separate Resload versions for 00-20/30/40/60 now,
which enlarges the WHDLoad executable but saves memory at
runtime (overlayed)
- new: progress bar for Preload operation added, WHDLoad will
remember PreloadSize itself as ToolType if started from the
Workbench
- fix: cache clear in MMU configuration routine added, should fix
problems with issue #2094 and issue #2182 (Psygore)
- new: dutch translation of documentation, thanks to Harold van der
Waaij
- chg: resload_Relocate now accepts upto 512 hunks (Don Adan)
- chg: emulation of 'move sr,ea' in usermode on 68010+ is now also
working if flag WHDLF_EmulPriv is active, this fixes problems
with RoadwarsArcadia and FastBreakArcadia
- chg: support for Cloantos AmigaForever 2011 kickstart 1.2 and
3.1-a500/a1200 roms added (Jan Zahurancik)
- new: WHDLoad supports the compression file formats of CrunchMania
with the resload functions resload_Decrunch and resload_Load-
FileDecrunch (Psygore)
- chg: the way WHDLoad checks for keyboard strokes (QuitKey,
FreezeKey, ...) has been slightly modified, in earlier
versions it has checked for keydown strokes, now it only
reacts on keyup events; if the Slave checks itself for
keyboard events the installed program may still quit on
keydowns
- chg: the ws_keydebug entry in the Slave structure is now ignored,
the debug key must be explictly set via arguments
- fix: it's now possible to use QuitKey/DebugKey=0 (Psygore)
- chg: as long as the splash window is open pressing Esc will break
the Preload process and quit WHDLoad
- chg: pressing Space/Return/Enter will close the splash window and
start the installed program immediate after completion of
Preload
- new: in Expert/S mode the splash window now contains some buttons
to switch debugging related options of WHDLoad which gets
saved/deleted in the icon if started from the Workbench
- new: the Slave structure has been extended to allow configuration
of buttons to be displayed on the splash window to control
the ButtonWait/S and Custom1-5/K/N options
to be able to configure existing Slaves the option Config/K
has been added
- new: using the option ConfigDelay/K/N the time can be specified
howlong the splash window is displayed if there are buttons
on it (Config/Expert)
- chg: if SplashDelay/K/N is -1 a start button is added to the splash
window and the window remains open until pressed
- chg: the kickstart images will be searched also in the alternative
path WHDCOMMON: (M.C.Battilana)
Der Code für die Unterstützung der MMU eines 68040 ist in dieser Version nicht vollständig funktionsfähig da er überarbeitet wird um sämtliche MMU-Eigenschaften abzudecken. Die Funktion "resload_Protect" sollte funktionieren, "Snoop" wird dagegen den Rechner zum Absturz bringen. (cg)
