• new: if a kickstart is requested by the Slave (ws_kickname) WHDLoad provides the current default keymap as a virtual file called 'WHDLoad.keymap' kickemu kick13.s and kick31.s got a new option called SETKEYBOARD which loads and activates the 'WHDLoad.keymap'
• fix: avoid a possible crash if no kickstart image could be found
• chg: the check for a read-only filesystem to ignore write operations now checks the first data directory instead the current directory of WHDLoad
• new: sources/whdload/lowlevel.s has been added to be used with kickemu, it is based on the OS3.1 lowlevel.library and provides a way to avoid the disk based library and save some memory, the kickemu option INIT_LOWLEVEL uses it now instead loading the disk based library
• fix: corrected the key repeat fix in kick31.s
• chg: resload_ListFiles no longer requires a switch to the OS if Preload was able to cache all files by using the file cache to fill the buffer with filenames
• new: support for virtual filesystem plugins (VFS) added, if one of the Data/K objects specified is not a directory but a file WHDLoad will attempt to load PROGDIR:WHDLoad.VFS and uses this interface to load data for such data objects, the VFS-ABI/API is described in "include/whdvfs.i", a VFS implementation which currently supports lha and zip-archives can be obtained from http://github.com/temisu/WHDLoadArchiveFS Thanks a lot to Teemu Suutari for his great work! VFS objects are always read-only for WHDLoad, so either use SavePath/K or a first data directory which isn't VFS to allow WHDLoad to save something
• fix: cursor down in the CLI usage message is working again in the standard AmigaShell (issue #5146)
• chg: DIC 1.2: if a track has a read error and option Skip is active and the device is controlled by trackdisk.devices, DIC switches to sector reads now to be able to read more good data in case not all sectors on this track are unreadable
• chg: WHDLoad now returns with an error code = 5 if the Preload operation has been canceled by pressing the Esc key while the splash window is open (issue #5171)
• chg: a new option NoWriteInfo/N has been added as local and global option, if set WHDLoad will not update/write any .info files (issue #5153)
• chg: WHDLoad now resets custom.serper on exit to stop a possible MIDI/MT32 playback via the serial line (JOTD)
• new: option WriteCache/S added to overwrite global option NoWriteCache/S (issue #5263)
• new: WHDLoad is now able to cache also write operations to new created files or existing files which grow in size. For that the option PreLoad must be active and there must be enough memory available to preload all files. WHDLoad will then allocate the largest free memory block remaining and use this memory to dynamically cache new files or growing existing files. The cached files are written to disk on WHDLoad exit.
• new: kick31.asm can be enabled to activate internal resident command WHDCtrl which supports to quit WHDLoad ATM

• Added a Copy Messages... dialog that may be used to copy messages between accounts, local folders, etc
• Drag & drop of messages into a local folder / folder of a different account will copy messages to the destination folder
• Editing of local messages retains their original date
• Fixed a crash in case loading a list of spelling dictionaries fails
• Fixed a condition where the Outgoing Mail manager could send a single message more than once
• Improved progress reports when sending mail
• Additional heuristics when trying to determine the right extension name when saving attachments (if the sender's client did not set the correct MIME type)
• Performing an action on a large multi-selection of messages would sometimes stall forever when trying to obtain full message identifiers to act on
• Optimized a case where setting flags on a large selection of messages would cause the MUI list to perform very costly redraw lookups

"Nur gut 20 Jahre nach der ersten Ankündigung ist das Point-and-Click-Adventure "ERMENTRUD - Held mit Pferd" ab sofort kostenlos erhältlich.

Ermentrud, von Berufswegen Held mit Pferd, wird vom König höchst persönlich damit beauftragt, dessen Tochter zu retten. Immerhin soll sie ordnungsgemäß mit dem Prinzen des benachbarten Königreichs verheiratet werden, weil … na, weil das eben der Lauf der Dinge im Adel ist.

Er macht sich auf die Suche und stößt auf die Spur der geheimnisvollen Kohlköpfe aus dem verborgenen Erdreich. Doch wie findet er diese gemüsigen Schurken? Was erwartet ihn auf der geheimnisumwitterten Insel Thymian? Findet er die Wurzel allen Übels im benachbarten Land der Vina-Rüben? Kann Ermentrud am Ende die Prinzessin befreien oder muss er die laue Bouillon des Schicksals löffeln?

Müssen eigentlich immer alle Fragen beantwortet werden? Wir wagen dies zu verneinen!

Dieses Werk wurde ursprünglich zwischen 2000 und 2004 für den Amiga entwickelt, jedoch irgendwie nicht fertiggestellt. Wirklich spielbar war es nicht, aber mit fast 40 Orten und mehr als 20 Charakteren zum Löschen dann doch zu schade. So entstand ein Plan: Spielerische Lücken sollten notdürftig gefüllt, und das ganze Ding auf aktuellen Plattformen laufbar gemacht werden.

Herausgekommen ist ein unvollendetes, aber sorgfältig zusammengeflicktes Abenteuerspiel!

Das Spiel ist verfügbar für AmigaOS 3, Amiga OS 4, MorphOS, Windows, MacOS und iOS. Die AmigaOS 3 Version benötigt eine Grafikkarte und optional ein CD-Laufwerk für Musik."

• Agnus/Alice internal DMA cycle processing and RGA bus pipelining (bitplanes, copper, blitter etc) accurately emulated.
• Programmed display mode support greatly improved, for example cycle accurate horizontal blanking (even if it is changed mid-screen), badly documented BEAMCON0 bit combinations accurately emulated, previously unknown undocumented features emulated and more.
• Blitter internal logic emulation updates, for example blitter register modifications when blitter is active are now accurately emulated, line mode with B channel enabled undocumented behavior emulated and more.
• Chipset edge-cases and chipset version specific undocumented behavior emulation improved, for example Copper waiting for Blitter chipset bug is accurately emulated (which causes visible glitches and was not emulated previously), borderblank glitch if horizontal window is opened early.
• Display emulation is now from hsync to hsync (not scanline to scanline) which enables accurate emulation of left (programmed modes or blanking modified) and right border (normally visible, position where horizontal position wraps around) edge cases without extra hacks, both bitplanes and sprites. Vertical is also from vsync to vsync, for example last visible line of display can be line 0 (or even larger if special programmed mode) which wasn’t fully emulated previously. Multiple DIWSTRT/STOP regions in single scanline supported, including start/stop horizontal wrap around.
• Bitplane DMA overrun condition is not a special case anymore, all overrun conditions are now fully supported, including bitplane wrap around. Overrun can be used to create special modes that are still fully PAL (or NTSC) compatible without usual restrictions (for example it is possible to have full overscan, horizontal scrolling in 64-bit fetch mode and still have most sprites available)
• Overscan+ and Extreme display size options. Can see everything in emulation that real chipset can output in PAL/NTSC compatible modes with adjusted blanking timing when using converters like OSSC. Also OCS Denise blanking bug on first and last line is now emulated and visible.
• Audio internal timing is now accurate, for example low audio period (lower than DMA can support) interrupt and sample reload timing is now cycle-accurate.

New emulated hardware

• CyberVision 64, CyberVision 64/3D and S3 Virge PCI emulation. (S3Trio and S3Virge chipset emulation from PCem)
• Voodoo 3 (8M VRAM) PCI emulation. (Voodoo 3 emulation from PCem)
• M.A.S.T. Fireball (SCSI HD controller)
• Hardital Synthesis (SCSI HD controller)
• A.L.F.2 (OMTI HD controller)
• Combitec HD 20 A/HD 40 A (OMTI HD controller)
• GVP G-Force040 (68040 accelerator)
• GVP A1230 Turbo+ Jaws (68030 accelerator)
• Prelude A1200 clockport expander support

Updates

• JIT update (Aranym) + shift instruction flag fix.
• x86 bridgeboard emulation updated to PCem v17 x86 core.
• Recent Picasso96 multimonitor support: usegfx Picasso96 DISPLAYCHAIN is now only forced if uaegfx monitor is monitor id=0 (shared with native chipset). Previously DISPLAYCHAIN was always forced.
• ALT+Space does not anymore open WinUAE window standard menu when input is captured.
• Saving config file: Confirm overwrite if existing file is read-only.
• Do not allow opposite joystick directions at the same time (some games crash..) if mapped using Game Ports panel. It is still allowed if configured using Input panel and it was mapped to left/right/up/down events (not horiz/vert).
• Debugger updates. Configurable disassembly format, DMA debugger DDFSTRT, DDFSTOP, horizontal window, vertical window, blanking markers, full 32-bit/64-bit bitplane/sprite pointer addresses, cycle conflict info, fi command accepts assembly syntax (for example “fi trap #0”).

New features

• FloppyBridge support.
• Picasso96 v3.0+ uaegfx screen dragging and dual palette support.
• uaeserial.device CMD_WRITE with io_Length=-1, EOFMODE and Mark and Space parity support implemented.
• bsdsocket.library SBTC_GET_BYTES_RECEIVED, SBTC_GET_BYTES_SENT, SIOCIFADDR, SIOCIFFLAGS, SIOCIFBRDADDR, SIOCIFCONF, SIOCIFNETMASK, SIOCIFMETRIC and SIOCIFMTU support added.
• All Z2 DMA HD controllers are now 24-bit addressing capable by default (real world capability), checkbox option added to enable full 32-bit capability (emulation only).
• Added CD image select/eject keyboard shortcut. END+F5 = select CD image, END+SHIFT+F5 = eject CD. Statefile quick restore moved to END+F6
• Executable as a disk image mounting now supports FFS and HD disks. Uses DD+OFS if selected file fits (like previously), then DD+FFS, finally HD+FFS (if drive is HD).
• Amiga Bootblock Reader brainfile support (copy ABR package xml files to \plugins\ABR). Used when clicking “?” button in quickstart and disk panels.
• Multi monitor mode window positions are now stored to registry/ini.
• Experimental HDR mode. Supports brightness and contrast adjustment without immediate white clipping or black crush.

Bugs fixed

• Fixed HAM left border corruption if overscan HAM mode and bitplane horizontal start was earlier than current filter horizontal start.
• CDTV and CD32 CD audio playback statefile restore bugs fixed.
• A2410 emulation fixed.
• NPCap/WinPCap crash if more than 9 network devices was found.
• Fixed GDI handle leak. GUI panel change leaked 2 font handles.
• Floppy emulation rotation speed was slightly out of spec.
• bsdsocket recv/recvfrom() returning truncated data now matches Unix/Amiga behavior. Windows also returned error when data was truncated.
• OSD led font graphics is now generated from real Windows font and is high DPI aware.
• If game controller was plugged in after config was loaded and loaded config had game controller configured in game ports panel, game controller was correctly remembered but type and autofire mode was set to default values.
• 68040/68060 unimplemented FPU instruction emulation fixes, all 68060 FPSP test package tests pass now.
• Softfloat FMOD, FREM update. FSINCOS implemented, calculates both SIN and COS simultaneously, previously FSINCOS calculated SIN and COS separately.
• Add harddrive button tried to incorrectly guess logical geometry and didn’t enable full drive mode if drive didn’t already have RDB. Result was unusable drive.
• CDFS mounting used wrong character set translation functions, files with region specific characters failed to open depending on Windows regional settings.
• “Remove interlace artifacts” last line flickering workaround fix.
• Fixed empty formatted standard HD ADF creation.
• Many minor bugs fixed.

To do before 5.0. (Early 2022 – Summer 2022)

• 68000 interrupt sampling timing needs to be 100% accurate (My cputester + extra tester hardware should solve this). This is the last remaining non-100% accurate part of A500 emulation.
• Detect programmed modes that real world display can’t support. Blank emulated display when detected.
