Beta 4: (possibly final)

– Added new level between pre and post shaders (0 in GUI, selected by default) which works exactly like pre-2.6.0 versions. Some shaders (hq2x for example) requires input texture in original Amiga display resolution and output texture in final output resolution or result will be quite crappy. D3D h2x really works again.
– Some on the fly graphics config settings (uae-configuration) reset RTG state.
– RTG screen mode selection in Display panel wasn’t active if Z2 RTG was enabled.
– AROS ROM updated.

Beta 3: (Official will be out next week)

– Direct3D hq2x shader filter should work correctly again. (2.6.0)
– 68040/060 MMU mode address error stack frame fixed. (Possibly only debuggers need this)
– 68030 MMU mode address error stack frame has correct format but it is not yet recoverable. (I don’t think address error recovery is used by any OS)
– FScc, FTRAP and FBcc didn’t get FPU out of NULL state. (No one cares fix)
– extraframewait and framelatency command line parameters are also available via config file (uses win32. prefix)

Boz – BBB

– Boz is here again for another BBB – it’s a Saturday but it’s not an Early Edition this time! Your requests played in between the usual unintelligible mutterings from the English ex-pat. All aboard the Train-Wreck, WOO WOOH!

      The Dutchies – The Cheap show

  – The Dutchies are back for another three our- ish sound check. Usual ramblings and general bullshit.

Click here to tune in now!

It’s back again – another SLAY Radio Gathering! Occurring on the first weekend of August, we have the main day on Saturday August 3 consisting of a barbecue at Keillers Park in the daytime and we have the private room at the back of Kville Biljard in the evening. We also have the Unofficially Official Pre-Gathering Gathering on Friday evening for the early birds :) Come join us for a bit of a get-together of SLAY Radio broadcasters and listeners!

For maps, hotel info and so forth, see the Gathering 2013 page!
We also have a Facebook Event.

- Moved >2M Chip RAM merge earlier in boot process. Previous was too late and it broke early boot menu. (It sets reset proof resident positioned at the end of chip ram and if chip ram is not available early enough, exec assumes resident is invalid and ignores it). Now nearly complete unfragmented Chip RAM is available, even if booting with Chip RAM only configuration.
– Do not filter all keyboard presses without matching releases, only filter repeats. (Which isn’t that simple because press and repeating press are identical events)
– Inverted keyboard releases (=press) required matching release before next press event was accepted. (This update wasn’t really needed but maybe in future it will be more useful)
– Added separate 68060 unimplemented integer emulation checkbox. More compatible should only enable/disable prefetch emulation. (approximate/partial or 68000 exact)
– 68060 MOVEP was not marked as unimplemented.
– Non-prefetch CPU mode now fully checks if memory disappears after reset by checking memory “bank” pointers instead of using hardcoded addresses. Program doing software reset by executing RESET + JMP (An) now always works. (If opcode is something else or PC points to non-existing memory for some reason, it assumes program attempted normal software reset and jumps to start of ROM code). Makes aros arosbootstrap softkick more reliable under emulation.
– Tree view “Hard drives” -> “CD & Hard drives”
– Delay 68020+ interrupt detection by one instruction unless cycle exact is enabled. (For example Skeleton Krew CD32 first enables interrupt and then updates interrupt vector. Game code even guarantees request is active while enabling interrupts..)
– 68040 MMU PTEST and 68060 MMU PLPA instructions were shown incorrectly by debugger. (Read was shown as write and vice versa. Emulation was working fine)

TODO: hq2x shader filter fix and 2.6.1 should be mostly done.

Anders Persson has made a Commodore 64 game in c using cc65; the game is similar to Pong but mashed up with Shufflepuck. Anders wrote a full article about it over at http://andrsoze.blogspot.se

The source code is also available on Github and you can download the d64 image here.
