Lista de mejoras:

WinUAE 1.4.0 public beta #2 (beta 1 was not public)
Sources

Main changes are CDTV emulation and Advanced Chipset ("do not touch if you are not sure") configuration panel.

Highly confusing changelog:

Beta 2:

- filter zoom and position is not restricted to coordinates divisible by 4 pixels anymore
- datapath command line parameter fixed (broke in 1.3.4b9)
- enumerate only known DirectInput devices types (keyboards, pointers and game controllers), apparently there are some broken DI compatible "unknown" devices that crash DirectInput's internal enumeration code..
- "magic mouse" related freezes fixed
- dragndrop disk insert fixed (again..)
- added more Picasso96 modes to "unique" mode list
- possible fix for some missing Picasso96 display modes
- added Amiga-side pointer validation to bsdsocket (smaller chance for crashing if Amiga-side program passes garbage to bsdsocket)
- added safe host<>Amiga memcpy/strcpy helper functions to memory.c
- Aminetradio bsdsocket freeze fix (broke in 1340b6)
- do not "fix" configuration when advanced chipset compatible checkbox is not checked and using A4000 rom.
- Windows driver Catweasel-mode works again
- only access CW registers if CW mouse/joystick is selected, read keyboard port only if CW checkbox is enabled

Beta 1: Lots of scary options. Do not touch!

- added new misc configuration options "(handled in previous versions)"
- RTC type (none, MSM6242B or RF5C01A) + adjustment in seconds (always enabled, MSM6242B but no 26x4bit memory implemented and was initialized as RF5C01A... Looks like previous developer(s) didn't know there was two different clock chips, neither did I until few days ago.. Basically 68020+ Amigas have RF5C01A)
- CIA-A TOD clock source, vblank/50hz/60hz (always vblank except 50Hz/60Hz in programmed modes, another hack was here)
- built-in IDE A600+A1200 or A4000. Not really doing much yet. (something that prevented IDE detection delay)
- A1000 Boot "ROM" on/off (enabled when 8k/64k ROM was used)
- DF0: ID hardware on/off (no ID if DF0: was 35DD)
- A3000/A4000 "motherboard resources", RAMSEY and/or Fat GARY (0xDE000x, 0 = TOENB, 1 = TIMEOUT and 2 = COLDREBOOT registers)
- KS ROM mirror at 0xe00000-0xe7ffff (Cloanto ROM selected)
- CD32 CDROM on/off (when 512k extended ROM was selected)
- CD32 C2P on/off (when 512k extended ROM was selected)
- CD32 NVRAM on/off (when 512k extended ROM was selected)
- CDTV CDROM on/off (did not exist)
- CDTV NVRAM on/off (when 256k extended ROM was selected)
- CDTV SRAM (64k only, not saved) Card on/off (not implemented)

Why? Because there are small differences between different Amiga models and even revisions and every possible model must be configurable for emulation.. (like more real A4000 configuration) Also can remove some ugly hacks (like the IDE hack) with proper emulation.

I REPEAT: Do not touch Adv.Chipset panel if you aren't sure about what you are doing!

NOTE: A4000 KS ROMs (Cloanto 3.x ROMs = A4000 ROM) _REQUIRE_ RAMSEY or they will freeze at boot. WinUAE will automatically enable RAMSEY and GARY if recognised A4000 ROM is selected, also default "Generic" Amiga setting is most compatible with old configurations.

NOTE2: CD32 and CDTV configurations require now CD32 or CDTV setting in chipset-panel (Quickstart mode does this automatically). Previously CD32/CDTV mode was enabled depending on size of extended ROM but that is not a good idea anymore.

- Amiga model specific chipset extra settings added, available only if "compatible settings" is enabled in "Adv. Chipset" panel
- Akiko moved to separate memory bank (was in CIA bank previously, no functional changes)
- Configurable motherboard resources memory bank added (includes Fat Gary DE0000, DE0001, DE0002 and RAMSEY DE0003 and DE0043)
- RAMSEY revision configurable
- Fat Gary revision configurable (AFAIK this does not exist in existing chips but was planned in future. But Scout detects this so...)
- 2 x RAMSEY (A3000/A4000 memory controller chip) controlled 32-bit MB Fast RAM configuration added. ROM support for detection needed.
- First max 64MB "bank" ends at 0x08000000 (A3000/A4000 ROM needed)
- Second max 64MB "bank" from 0x08000000 (as above plus any 3.1+ ROM)
In theory there is space for max 96MB but UAE memory system does not like non-power of 2 memory areas. Can be used with RTG and Z3 RAM.
- Configurable DDxxxx (A3000/A4000 SCSI) DMAC memory bank added (not yet doing anything)
- CDTV emulation support! (thanks to Mark Knibbs for debugging CDTV ROMs two years ago)
- data and audio tracks supported
- CDXL animations work better than in CD32 emulation
- CD audio volume control not supported
- multithreaded, no emulation pauses because of possible slow CD access or CD spin up/down. May not be fully stable yet.
- 1x drive speed emulation
- 2MB chip enabled in CDTV Quickstart because DF0: is always detected (even without drive) and apparently some games need all available memory. KS 1.x always uses DF0: and I am not sure how CDTV ROM should disable it (or does it do it? CDTV don't have built-in floppy drive)
- starting data CD read without aborting previous CD audio freezes (for example DOTC), cdtv device driver keeps waiting for some signal that does not appear. (returning error status will fix this but it also breaks Xenon II, hopefully proper fix is found soon..)
- do not draw onscreen leds ofscreen (left border in narrow modes)
- "Magic" mouse option added (wip) System friendly screens + windowed mode only. There is still offset in position when using native screen.
- disk read DMA without any selected drives will finish normally (would have frozen emulated program in previous versions)
- "Faster RTG" "instant copper" does not freeze even if copper list has infinite loop.
- removed A2000 from A500/A2000 quickstart setting, they aren't 100% same hardware (A2000 has DF0: ID hardware and CIA-A TOD clock is powersupply tick by default)
- IOCTL (used by CD32/CDTV emulation) CD access digital CD audio work in Vista (previously total silence when using Daemon Tools or no sound cable between CD drive and sound card) Ugly detail: it closes CreateFile() handle and opens MCI handle when CD audio calls are needed (and back to CreateFile() when accessing data)
- Current open GUI config panel was initialized, destroyed and initialized again when entering GUI and emulation was running.
- selecing keyboard layout C and then selecting any other keyboard ayout didn't disable layout C.
- Quickstart disk swap delayed insert fixed again
- D3D does not depend on D3DX library anymore (no more need for ec 2004 DX SDK to prevent d3dx9_xx.dll dependancy)
-harddisk configuration handling completely rewritten. Configuration data and mount data are now separate, configuration data is copied to mount data only when starting or reseting the emulation. Also failed mounting won't delete the configuration data. No more disappearing configuration entries if paths have changed or USB device is not inserted or error messages when adjusting configuration settings when emulation is already running. First column shows if the device is currently mounted
- sound filter/interpolation etc was not initialized until GUI panel was visited
