WinUAE v2.4.2 Beta 12

EmuCR:WinUAEWinUAE v2.4.2 Beta 12 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 v2.4.2 Beta 12 changelog:
- Moved cycle-exact option to Chipset group in GUI. Other options are minor options/hacks, CE is not.
- Do not enable wait for blit if immediate blitter is enabled in quickstart mode.
- Added RTG hardware sprite (mouse cursor) enable/disable option. Enabled by default if D3D mode. Was always enabled previously if D3D mode.
- GUI Memory panel 32-bit RAM size information text incorrectly included Z2 mode RTG memory.
- Added directory harddrive limit option to Harddrives panel. When enabled, all directory harddrives size is faked to ~950M with free space relative to original size (for example 500G HD with 100G free = 950M HD with 950*100/500=190M free) This hack is workaround for installers that think drive is full or have negative free space if drive is larger than 2G (32-bit overflow). Can be changed on the fly. Edit configuration file manually if you want custom limit size. Also virtual fake block size changed from 1024 to 512. More compatible with KS1.x dos commands that seem to use hardcoded 512 block sizes when calculating disk size.
- cpu_throttle configuration entry also accepts decimal values.
- Added Start minimized and Start mouse uncaptured Misc panel options.
- In minimized mode D3D/DirectDraw display updates are also now completely stopped.
- ECS Denise/AGA border blanking handling rewritten again. (Brian the Lion borders are black again)
- Ignore color 0 (background) writes if borderblank is currently enabled when deciding autoscale start vertical coordinate. (Brian the Lion)
- Parallel port audio sampler emulation partially rewritten, it actually sounds correct now, mono/stereo option added. AudioMaster IV confirmed working. Very pointless feature.
