WinUAE 1.4.4 public beta #1
And the first beta has been released for 1.4.4
Quote:
Beta 1:
- ROM scan now always scans all detected ROM paths (skips duplicate paths)
- zero sized files inside archives could have caused illegal accesses in some cases
- return HFERR_NoBoard, not IOERR_OPENFAIL when opening non-existing uaehf.device units. Fixes problem with <OS3.5 hdtoolbox versions not detecting hardfiles that are not in topmost position in harddisk panel.
- if blitter line draw with onedot-mode enabled, blitter does not write non-drawn pixel words back to chip ram (it becomes free bus cycle)
- -datapath fixed, again and again, it seems to never work properly..
- CD32 statefile support works again
- paths-panel adjustments, "new" path (in All Users) is only created if selected in paths-panel.
- directory filesystem ACTION_WRITE_PROTECT packet implemented (AmigaDOS Lock-command) Note: "hardware" lock (read-only status in configuration file/GUI) can't be unlocked with Lock-command.
- directory filesystem ACTION_INHIBIT implemented (not really needed but it uses same functions as removable drive support)
- directory filesystem ACTION_MORE_CACHE implemented (Addbuffers), No-op, currently always returns 50 and flushes file/dir cache.
- directory filesystem ACTION_FLUSH_CACHE implemented, flushes file/dir cache.
- possible filecomment leak/access error in fsdb/streams support
- filesystem ACTION_WRITE optimized (no temporary buffer if memory is directly accessable, optimization copied from ACTION_READ)
- removable directory filesystem support added
* it is not possible to add new devices after emulation has been started (workaround: add 1 or more empty drives = add new directory without device/volume name or path)
* only volume name gets removed (like CD0: without CD inserted)
* GUI can't be used to insert/remove harddrives. Yet. I don't know how to make it easy to use..
* drag'n'drop (directories or files/archives) to WinUAE's window is currently the only way to test removable drive support. Note that only drives that were empty when emulation was started will be remounted. (It is quite bad idea to remove OS/boot drive..)
* weird things can happen if files are open when changing drive
* volume name is automatically generated from directory or file name
* very useful when installing software, just drag and drop installation package (lha-archive for example) and run it. No need for temporarily locations or worry about losing flags or file comments.
* overrides normal (executables -> floppy drive, configuration file -> restart emulation etc..) drag and drop function if GUI is not active and dropped file/directory gets accepted by filesystem.
- CPU emulation and other cleanups (Bernd Schmidt!)
