A new stable version of this Amiga emulator for Windows is available. This is what's new.
New features:
* Very popular request: automatic display scaling/window resizing! (not compatible with all programs) Option in Filter-panel.
* PAL/NTSC vertical size change emulated in filter modes.
* Transparent clipboard sharing between Amiga clipboard.device and Windows clipboard, both Amiga->Windows and Windows->Amiga supported. Text and images supported, HAM6/8 automatically converted to 24-bit image, EHB converted to 64-color image. Images with less than 256 colors images converted to standard IFF, higher color images converted to 24-bit IFF. Text converted to plain text, formatting possible in future.
* \"Interlace fixer\", interlaced screens are now rock solid, all interlace artifacts will be gone. (this feature isn't same as scandoubler or flickerfixer and not compatible with most games)
* VirtualPC VHD dynamic harddisk image support (dynamic = empty hardfile is very small, size grows automatically when more data gets written)
* Custom chipset emulation updates, horizontally mixed lores and hires modes work and more (for example Disposable Hero titlescreen is finally perfect, Oops Up ray color issue)
* Mouse emulation rewritten (Oil Imperium pipelining minigame)
* 10 sector and 81/82 track PC/Atari ST disk images supported.
* Diskspare disk images supported.
* OCS/ECS \"7-planes\" mode fully implemented (4 normal bitplanes + 2 static 16-bit patterns for planes 5 and 6) 1st Anniversary by Lazy Bones has 100% correct display now.
* SuperHires supprted in lores and filtered lores modes.
* 320x256, 640x512, 800x600, 1024x768 and 1280x1024 always added to RTG mode list (320x200 and 320x240 was already available previously)
* RTG mode vertical blanking interrupt implemented without busy waiting, interrupt rate added, configuration added to GUI.
* Filter multiplier select boxes now support manually entered multipliers, for example 2.5 = 2.5x. Aspect ratio correction added.
* Full drawing tablet support. (must be wintab compatible)
* \"Magic mouse\" mode improvements.
* Parallel port joystick adapter configuration added to Gameports panel (Much easier and quicker than using Input panel configuration)
* Input device type (mouse, digital joystick, analog joystick, lightpen etc..) selection added to Gameports panel. (Less need for complex Input panel configuration)
* WinUAE is now unicode Windows application, added full unicode support to configuration files. (backwards compatibility still maintained)
* PortAudio v19 audio library support. ASIO, WDM-KS (Windows XP low level sound API), WASAPI (Vista low level sound API), lower latency sound. NOTE: WDM-KS is unstable in current PortAudio version.
* Added new 64-bit seek and size dos packets to filesystem emulation.
* ICD AdIDE \"scrambled\" IDE disk and hardfile format supported, also includes automatic byteswap detection.
* Include some monitor unsupported modes in display modes list because some drivers lists custom modes as unsupported with current monitor (even if they work just fine..)
* ASCII-only and experimental Epson matrix printer emulation added, do not print anything if less than 10 bytes received.
* Added support for Windows Recent Documents/Windows 7 Jump Lists.
1.5.3 bug fixes:
* Random CD32 pad button events without enabled pad.
* Mid horizontal line graphics mode change fix (for example Cover Girl Strip Poker)
* ECS Agnus 0.5M+0.5M \"1M chip\" mirror works again (Move Any Mountain)
* Rainbow Islands one missing horizontal line fixed.
Other bug fixes:
* Directory filesystem bug fixes (very old bugs), ACTION MODE CHANGE fixed, also fixed case that caused lost file comments, show >2G files as 2G - 1 instead of showing \"random\" 32-bit truncated value.
* HAM mode graphics errors if left border was not fully visible.
* Some crashing bugs fixed.
* uaeserial.device unit 10 or larger works now.
* Early boot menu PAL/NTSC switching works properly, previously only worked after reset.
* CD32 CD emulation is now compatible with newer cd.device (comes with FMV cartridge boot ROM)
* KS loader 16-bit odd/even ROM image to 32-bit merging fixed.
* A1000 bootstrap ROM in even/odd format loading fixed.
* Another non-interlace to interlace switch graphics corruption fixed.
* Sprite graphics garbage appeared in some rare cases.
* Restoring statefile without GUI enabled emptied all floppy drives.
* lha extended datestamps fixed. 7zip updated, datestamps supported.
* Recursive archives as a harddrive support improved.
* RTG display refresh crash in some specific situations.
* Switching cycle-exact mode on the fly sometimes freezed the blitter.
* Screenshots in windowed D3D modes fixed.
* 100% stereo separation was not working properly.
* Much improved sound stability/syncronization.
