WinUAE v2.7.0 Beta 6

EmuCR:WinUAEWinUAE v2.7.0 Beta 6 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 v2.7.0 Beta 6 changelog:
- Enabled Cirrus Logic RTG VRAM size configuration. CL VRAM memory bank setups used by VRAM size detection code is now (partially) emulated, should be enough to support CGX and Picasso96.
- Fixed crash that usually happened when system was reset and if it caused immediate PAL/NTSC mode change. (2.5 or 2.6 bug)
- Removed some dead JIT code, "afterPic" and "indirectKS" comptrustxxx parameters that haven't been used for ages.
- JIT MOVEM used direct mode if memory was direct capable but direct mode was disabled.
- Picasso IV VRAM is now always (*) in JIT indirect access mode. It can't be made JIT Direct compatible due to multiple banks. Also P4 Z2 CGX 15/16 bit mode has graphics corruption if JIT Direct is enabled because of JIT issue that can't be fixed. If same code is used to copy data from RAM and it is later used to copy data from VRAM, there is no way for JIT to detect that it should recompile it and use indirect mode instead of (incorrect for this bank) JIT direct mode. Other boards are very simple and can support JIT direct VRAM access.
- *) P4 Z3 mode includes now a hack that makes it JIT direct compatible. At least it seems to work..
- Cirrus emulation large basic copy blits are now 4x faster. (P96Speed horiz/vert scroll tests are not extremely slow anymore)
