Retro-Gaming: WHDLoad 18.0
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 in Version 18.0:
- fix:WHDLoad lock up happen when FullChip/S is used and
exec.MaxLocMem is equal to BaseMemSize fixed
- fix:ExpChip/S and FullChip/S cannot be enabled together, if both
are set FullChip/S will be silently disabled (Psygore)
- chg:option NoTrapHandler/S has been removed
- fix:race condition fixed which sometimes caused a 'Privilege
Violation Exception' when a Resload function was called from
Usermode and got interrupted during the internal switch to
Supervisor mode and then trace exception was used from the
installed program, seen especially in installs using kick13
emu and performing a lot of disk io, fixes issue #2094 and
connected ones
- chg:the log file created by the FileLog/S facility has been
renamed from .whdl_filelog to .whdl_log
- new:function resload_Log which puts custom messages into the log
file .whdl_log, uses the same file as the FileLog/S facility
and requires that FileLog/S option is set so that messages
will be written
this function is intended to make it easier to debug/follow
alien code by adding trace messages to dump the execution
state at useful places
- new:option LogBuffer/K/N to control the size of the internal
buffer allocated for log messages by FileLog/S and
resload_Log
- new:function resload_VSNPrintF implementing a exec.RawDoFmt/
sprintflike string formatting routine
- new:kickfs.s has new option SNOOPFS which will cause in
conjunction with HDINIT all dos packets after processing to
be logged using resload_Log, the supplied perl script
chkunlock.pl can be used to search the log file for missing
dos.UnLock and dos.Close calls
- new:using the function resload_Control and the tags
WHDLTAG_CUST_DISABLE/READ/WRITE/STROBE the allowed custom
registers for Snoop*/S can be modified now
- chg:ReSource support files updated to cover recent WHDLoad
extensions
- new:added XAD support to the installer template script
- chg:external program SP to save pictures from dump files has been
improved to better support AGA screens (ddf, fmode, bplcon)
- chg:on the 68030 the instruction burst is now always enabled if
the instruction cache is enabled (Psygore)
- chg:the 68040 processor is now fully supported regarding the
special mmu features (Snoop, resload_Protect), the
implementation was planned since years, it was a lot of work
becausethe handling is very different to the 68030 und 68060,
although I'm unsure if this feature will be used much, I'm
happy to have it completed now
- chg:option ChkAudPt/S is also supported on the 68030 and 68040 now
- chg:the interrupt redirect feature of ACA500/Zeus is not used when
option NoVBRMove/S is set
- chg:PreloadSize/N will also be set by WHDLoad if ws_DontCache is
used in the Slave
some more end user related improvements are planned for the next
release :-)
