WinUAE 2.4.0 released (29.03.2012)
==================================

New features:

- VSync supported in fastest possible CPU and JIT modes, complete rewrite, fast, 100% jitter free.
- Built-in CD filesystem. Full Amiga CD compatibility, including audio tracks and Amiga Rock Ridge extension,
  without need for manually installed CDFS, completely replaces old CD option that mounted CD drives as
  read-only harddrives. NOTE: CD device names renamed to standard CDx: (Old was WinCD_x:)
- Commodore A2024 monitor emulation. (1024*1024 grayscale monitor)
- Individual Computers Graffiti emulation.
- PCMCIA IDE hardfile emulation.
- USB game controller low latency raw input mode is now the default. (Mouse and keyboard support was already
  implemented long time ago) Windows Vista and newer only. Custom input mappings may need resetting.

- Input configuration qualifier key/button support. Any key or button can be configured as a qualifier
  and other key mappings can be configured to require one or more active qualifiers.

Updates:

- Programmed screen modes (DBLPAL, Multiscan etc..) display positioning and setup greatly improved.
- Performance improved in fastest possible CPU without JIT mode.
- Performance greatly improved when immediate blitter and fastest possible CPU is enabled and program
  does lots of small blits.
- Gayle IDE emulation IDE doubler mode compatibility improved.
- Sound syncronization updates, much more stable with VSync. (more updates planned in future)

  was possible to enable both cycle-exact and JIT at the same time causing frozen emulation.
- Rare cycle-exact mode interrupt timing issue. (Guardian Dragon II / Kefrens random hang)
- Some minimized/inactive/active switching issues.
- Directory harddrives configured as unbootable still booted normally under KS 1.3.

  (Not compatible with fastest possible CPU modes but planned in future)
- Experimental rawinput joystick/joypad support. (-rawhid command line parameter)
  Added because DirectInput is said to introduce some extra input lag.

Updates:

- Real cause for Max Transfer IDE problem found. IDE emulation detects and logs it now.
- CD image audio buffer increased slightly, some systems had glitches in CD audio.
- Non-configured joystick/mouse autoswitch update: short firebutton press or move left = insert into joystick port,
  longer press or move right = insert into mouse port.

  higher privileges, at least under Windows 7.

Bug fixes:

- IDE emulation write hang introduced in 2.3.2.
- A590/A2091 emulation crash if CPU was 68020+.

______________________________________________________________________________


Catweasel support
-----------------

- Windows driver installed: automatically detected
- No Windows driver installed and TVicPort
  - Windows 2000/XP/Vista: automatically detected

How to use hdtoolbox with full harddisk images
----------------------------------------------

Create hardfile normally or use harddisk image from your real Amiga but clear all
hardfile parameters except block size.(sectors, surfaces and reserved)

HDToolBox must be run with "uaehf.device"-parameter ("tools/hdtoolbox uaehf.device")

Amiga formatted harddisk support
--------------------------------

Requires Windows 2000 or newer with administrator privileges.

All Amiga formatted or empty drives (=zeroed partition table) are autodetected.
WinUAE does not care about interface type, drive can IDE or SCSI or even
memory card if Windows detects the drive in device manager.

Use uaehf.device to access the drive in HDToolBox.
Note that some versions of HDToolBox don't see drives with unit number > 6.
Remove some mounted harddrives (directory or hardware) to fix the problem.

WARNING: you can force all drives to be detected if you run WinUAE with
-disableharddrivesafetycheck command line parameter but be very careful.
Don't try to select and partition/format your Windows drive(s)!

NOTE: uaescsi.device or ASPI don't have anything to do with harddisk support.

Vsync-instructions
------------------
- works in fullscreen modes only
- select 50Hz or 100Hz refresh rate (PAL) or 60Hz/120Hz (NTSC)
- WinUAE skips every other frame if refresh rate is over 85Hz
- display driver must support refresh rate selection. VSync is not selectable
  if only available option in refresh rate selection box is "default"
- you can also select other refresh rates for "interesting" results :)
- your pc must be fast because missed frames will cause huge slowdown
- display emulation refresh rate must be set to "every frame"

CD32 emulation instructions:
----------------------------

Emulated:

- CDROM except CD audio fast forward and rewind (1) (2)
- 1Kb NVRAM (works just like console emulators' memory card)
- C2P
- Joypad (keys: /=RWD *=PLAY -=FFW 7=Green 9=Yellow 1=Red 3=Blue)
  You can use input-tab to configure pad mappings.

Notes:

- CD32 configuration: 68EC020, AGA, 2MB chip, 0 floppy drives
- CD32's NVRAM (build-in 1024 byte flash RAM) file location can be specified in ROM-tab.
- CD32 ROMs come with Amiga Forever 5.0+ or you can dump then from floppy drive extended CD32.
  Don't ask me for ROMs!
- If you have CD32 CD images, you can use daemon tools (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/) to mount them.
- Make sure harddrives panel is empty and uaescsi.device is disabled!

uaescsi.device instructions
---------------------------

- Makes your IDE ATAPI/SCSI CDROM drives available on Amiga side (1)
  Use Amiga CDFS, CDA players or CD burning software etc..
  (not tested with real SCSI drives)

1:
- requires working ASPI drivers or admin privileges (SPTI)
- no configuration option for drive selection yet.
2:
- no drive selection configuration yet, just insert disc in any drive and start WinUAE.


Action Replay 1 / 2 / 3 instructions
--------------------------------

- You need AR 1, AR 2 or 3 ROM (see below for rip instructions)
- Set path to Action Replay ROM file (ROM-tab, cartridge ROM)
- Freeze button = Page Up
- Don't use AR support to save game states, use build-in state save option instead.
  (much faster and compatible)
- WARNING: Action Replay don't like fast Amigas or 68020+ CPUs
  and max supported fast ram is 4MB.

Action Replay ROM Ripping instructions:

 Find A500 with Action replay-cardridge,
 press 'freeze'-button, write following:

 AR 1:

 lord olaf<RETURN>

 AR 2 and 3:

 may<RETURN>
 the<RETURN>
 force<RETURN>
 be<RETURN>
 with<RETURN>
 you<RETURN>
 new<RETURN> (AR 3 only)
 
 insert empty floppy disk into DF0:

 AR1: "sm ar1.rom,f00000 f10000"
 AR2: "sm ar2.rom,400000 420000"
 AR3: "sm ar3.rom,400000 440000"
 transfer ROM image to your PC


Improved debugger
-----------------

 - f-command extended:
    f without parameters = break when PC not in ROM and current instruction is not
    0x4ef9 (don't break when executing library jump tables) Great for finding start
    address of bootblock.
    f i = break when PC points to RTS/RTR/RTE-instruction
    f i <opcode> = break when PC points to instruction opcode <opcode>
    f <addr> = add/remove new breakpoint (max 8)
    fd = remove all breakpoints
    f <addr1> <addr2> = break when <addr1> <= PC <= <addr2>
 - W-command's value-parameter can be decimal 12345 or hexadecimal (0x12345 or $12345)
    write size is byte if val < 256, word if 255 > val < 65536 and long if val > 65535.
    (previous version's write size was always long and was limited to chip ram)
 - memwatch break points added, w <0-7> <address> <length> <r/w/rw> [<value>]
    break when address space between address and address + length is accessed and
    if accessed value = <value> R = break only on reads, W = writes, RW = both
 - i-command: interrups and traps combined, VBR supported
 - custom register dump -command added (e), dumps the contents of all existing registers
   between 0xdff000-0xdf1ff. ea = dump AGA color register contents.
 - CIA dump-output slightly modified, added TOD stopped status-flag and more.
 - exiting debugger automatically creates "memory state" and b-command can be used
   to "rewind"
 - bl lists all stored "state recorder" states
 - search-command s <"string">/<hexvalues> [<addr]> [<length>]
 - trace (t <cnt>) can be used to step over more than one instruction
 - wd = enable illegal access logger (all read or write accesses to nonexisting memory,
   read access to write-only memory or vice versa, accesses to "unofficial" cia and custom
   register address space etc..)
 - wd x y = disable logging between addresses x to x + y
 - H = list last 50 PC addresses (HH = addresses + flags). Only available if any breakpoint
   is enabled.

Drive sound customization
-------------------------

You can use external samples if you put files called drive_click_xxx.wav,
drive_spin_xxx.wav, drive_startup_xxx.wav and drive_snatch_xxx.wav
(xxx = whatever you want, "click" is the only mandatory sample)
to directory called <winuae path>\uae_data\

Multimouse
----------

Windows 2000: no real multimouse support.
Windows XP/Vista/7: all mice are supported.

Open Input-tab. Select any manual configuration (Configuration #1 to #4)
Open device select box. You should see "Mouse *", "Windows mouse" and
2 or more "Raw Mouse" (XP-only, Vista/7 name can be also "HID compliant
mouse). Make sure "Mouse *" and "Windows mouse" are disabled, (select box
next to device select box is unchecked) enable other mice and make sure
mappings are correct.

New in 0.9.90: Multimouse can be configured in "Game & I/O-Ports"-panel,
there is no need to do complex Input-panel configuration anymore.

Windows mouse?
--------------

"Windows mouse" is mouse that gets all movement events from Windows'
desktop mouse instead of DirectInput. Enable "Windows mouse" if you
think mouse feels sluggish compared to older WinUAE before DirectInput
was implemented. (and don't forget to disable "Mouse *" first or
mouse movement will be quite erratic..) Can't be used in multimouse
configuration.

Mousehack mouse?
--------------

Needed when using Tablets. Tablets only work properly if you select
"Mousehack mouse" and run Amiga-side program "mousehack". Without
mousehack "Mousehack mouse" is equal to "Windows mouse".
(mousehack-program is needed because regular mouse sends relative
movement data but Tablets are absolute devices)

WinUAE 1.3 update: mousehack-program is now built-in.

Mouse *?
--------

"Mouse *" is DirectInput system default mouse. "Mouse *" gets all
combined events from all connected physical mice. Can't be used
in multimouse configuration.


New ROM config entries in 1.1:
------------------------------

Syntax:
 kickstart_rom=v<ver>[.<rev>] [r<subver>.<subrev>] [<model>]
Only <ver> is mandatory. Model must be specified if requested
ROM file is not a regular Kickstart ROM.
Examples:
 v1.3 (select any autodetected 1.3)
 v1.2 r33.166 (must be KS1.2 revision 33.166)
 v1.2 A500 (KS1.2 rev 33.180)
 v2.05 A600HD (KS 2.05, rev 37.350 or 37.300)
 v3.1 r40.68 A1200 (KS 3.1 rev 40.68 A1200)
 v3.1 r40.68 (KS 3.1 rev 40.68, both A1200 or A4000 version allowed)
 v3.1;v3.0 (any revision of KS 3.1 or 3.0)
 v3 A1200 (A1200 KS 3.1 or 3.0)
 v2 AR (any Action Replay v2)
Multiple matches: highest available version is selected
Extended ROM config item: kickstart_ext_rom=
Cartridge ROM config item: cart=
