WinUAE v2.4.0 Beta 17

WinUAE v2.4.0 Beta 17 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 v2.4.0 Beta 17 Changelog:
- Fixed b16 low latency vsync issues.
- Possible fix for no buffer vsync tearing in D3D mode on some systems.
- Tweaked b4 too fast cpu audio hack, it broke routines that start playing empty sample (with length=1) and then near immediately reset audio pointer to correct sample. Hack detected this as a bad behavior and "fixed" it causing corrupt sound. (Game Solid 2 AGA)
- Release keys before pausing, stuck Alt if Alt-Tab pressed and emulation was set to pause when inactive.
- Magic mouse triggered window activation/deactivation didn't handle inactive pause or sound correctly.
- UAE controller mounted RDB hardfiles support bootable and do not mount checkboxes. "Do not mount" ticked = ignore all RDB hardfile partitions, "Bootable" unticked = do not boot from any RDB hardfile partition. Other boot priority values are ignored.
- Execute drive diagnostics IDE command should also set interrupt state (if enabled)
- Enable null filter if none and low latency vsync selected. It can't work with "none" filter.
- gfx_contrast/gfx_luminance/gfx_gamma didn't work on the fly using uae-configuration.
- Interlace mode detection rewritten. This should improve interlace emulation of weird programs doing weird things with interlace... Do not simply mirror BPLCON0 LACE bit but also check that LOF bit toggles correctly.
- Only enable vblank waits in non-vsync modes if triple buffering is enabled. I always forget that it is bad idea because on some systems it works fine, on some others it causes huge slowdowns.
- Some Advanced Chipset panel settings were not overridden if compatible settings was enabled. This could have caused strange compatibility problems even in Quickstart modes if default.uae had modified advanced chipset config entries.
- On the fly RTG vsync mode switch does not freeze the emulation anymore.
- Fixed A1000 Quickstart ROM missing message.
- KS 1.2 or older: map Z2 FastRAM as a non-autoconfig memory board.
- HID joystick negative axis values broke in b15.
