WinUAE (Public Beta) v1.6.0 Beta 19

WinUAE (Public Beta) v1.6.0 Beta 19 is released.Winuae is the commodore amiga emulator for Windows. WinUAE is a mostly complete software emulation of the hardware of the Commodore Amiga 500/1000/2000. A Commodore Amiga, for those who don’t know, is a 16/32 bit computer system based on the Motorola 680×0 CPU and a few specially designed custom chips that provide very good graphics and sound capabilities. Its first incarnation, the A1000, appeared in 1985, followed by the highly successful A500 and A2000 models. WinUAE is a port of the originally written for Unixish systems UAE; but over time, it seems the Windows port, WinUAE has become the best version available on any platform. WinUAE is free software: you are welcome to distribute copies of it and/or modify it, under certain conditions. There is no warranty of any kind for UAE. For more details concerning these issues, please read the GNU General Public License, which describes the terms under which WinUAE is distributed.

WinUAE (Public Beta) v1.6.0 Beta 19 changelog:
- missing command line unicode support added
- added support for winuae.exe [] command line. can be path to a configuration file, any supported floppy disk image file or statefile, multiple paths supported, path parsing stops when first parameter beginning with '-' or '/' is detected. Automatically disables "show gui on startup".
- improved configuration parsing, now for example something="path" and command line -something="path" works, previously " (or ') was not parsed properly
- clear dsound buffer when sound autodeactivates, it was possible to have some old sound data left in buffer if buffer size is really big
- gui debugger clipboard and enter address option fixed (b15)
- autoscaled screen was off center if display size was too small
- directory filesystem "unimplemented error 3" fix
- directory filesystem "unimplemented error 87" when setting file/dir datestamp and drive is in FAT partition (FAT date range is not as large as Amiga supported date range, AmigaDOS minimum date is 1978-01-01, FAT minimum is 1980-01-01)
- directory filesystem date underflow fixed, host-side date earlier than 1978-01-01 caused underflow, result usually was date in far future.. (bug since the beginning most likely)
- updated directory filesystem date calculations to 64-bit
- directory filesystem ERROR_COMMENT_TOO_BIG implemented
- PortAudio works again, also accept only v1899 or newer library
- clear D3D filter screen when autoscale settings change
- added F13-F16 to rawkeyboard keycode array

Jpcsp SVN r979

Jpcsp SVN r979 is released.JPCSP is a PlayStation Portable(PSP) emulator which is written in JAVA. JPCSP is the first PSP emulator that is written in JAVA. Most people think java is too slow. But Shadow and his team has proven us wrong. The newest Java versions are almost as fast as C which makes it very interesting for emu dev's. Shadow and his team are working day and night with pleasure on the emu, many coders have dedicated to the project. Because it's written in java many young devs find it interesting to learn how the emulator works.

JPcsp SVN changelog:
r977
added hleDisplaySetGeMode, now we have the GE height

Fix for "javax.media.opengl.GLException: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException:

Reduced display flicker problem on fast computers when using "Only GE"
r973
fix r972 when "only GE" setting was off. attempted to add more FBW support,disabled with FBWdebug flag in pspdisplay.
r974
Multiple small performance improvements in display:
- when processing a clutted texture, read the whole clut at the beginning to minimize the number of calls to Memory.readXX
- Texture cache: read a 16 bit clut using Memory.read32 (which is more efficient)
- Texture cache: compute the hashCode of a texture only once per display (for applications reusing the same texture multiple times in one display list)
r975
Fix for BOF3 display problem: allow using Texture using result of previous GE commands.
It seems that the GE width/height is always 480/272. Previously, the FB width & height was used: pspdisplay.display() has to be checked against this (not yet done in this update).
r976
added FBW sample. see pspsdk for vram.c/.h.

MAME 0.130u2 is released. MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. When used in conjunction with images of the original arcade game's ROM and disk data, MAME attempts to reproduce that game as faithfully as possible on a more modern general-purpose computer. MAME can currently emulate several thousand different classic arcade video games from the late 1970s through the modern era.

Technologies used for the Golden Tee 3D series (3D through Classic),
Shuffleshot, World Class Bowling and World Class Bowling Deluxe.
[Guru]

Added PCB layout & hardwared documentation for Atari's Badlands [Guru]

WIP driver for Cubo CD32 [Mariusz Wojcieszek]:

- Fixed screen priority problems in Kitten Kaboodle.
- Added flip screen & cocktail support.
- Merged memory maps in hyprduel.c

CPU cores are now enabled on a per cpu core family basis instead of
per cpu core variant. As a result CPUDEFS is no longer needed in the
makefile. [Wilbert Pol]

Knights of Valour / Knights of Valour Plus to NOT working as there
is no dump of the internal rom.
- Photo Y2k still works because it's using the emulation added above,
but You can no longer change region as this is supplied by the
ASIC27A device which is now emulated. This is correct.
- Added several new sets, several of which are re-releases of the
games using the ASIC 27A instead of the previous protection
devices. (oldss, killbldp)
- Removed per-game speedup hacks, as they're no longer needed for the
ARM based games to boot correctly.
