Download WinUAE 2.4.0

Version 2.4.0 of WinUAE has been released. This Windows port of the UAE Amiga Emulator is able to emulate a Commodore Amiga perfectly. All models from the very first Amiga 1000 up to and including the Amiga 4000 are supported. You should keep in mind that WinUAE comes without kickstart (boot-rom) or other software. More information can be found in the Amiga Emulator FAQ are being found. WinUAE runs on Windows 2000 and above, and the download is less than 4MB in size. In addition to the emulator are another kickstart (so to speak the bios/firmware of an Amiga) and of course software needed. Amiga Forever is a possible solution for this, with prices starting at 10 euros. The main improvements made in version 2.4.0 can be found below.

New features:

• VSync supported in fastest possible CPU and JIT modes, complete rewrite, fast, 100% jitter free.
• Built in CD file system. Full Amiga CD compatibility, including audio tracks and Amiga Rock Ridge extension, without need for manually installed CDFS, completely replaces old CD option that mounted CD drives as read-only harddrives. NOTE: CD device names renamed to standard CDx: (Old was WinCD_x:)
• Commodore A2024 monitor emulation. (1024*1024 gray scale monitor)
• Individual Computers Graffiti emulation.
• PCMCIA IDE hard file emulation.
• USB game controller low latency raw input mode is now the default. (Mouse and keyboard support was already implemented long time ago) Windows Vista and newer only. Custom input mappings may need resetting.
• PC keyboard mode, keys like home, end, pageup, pagedown etc are mapped to Amiga key codes.
• Input configuration qualifier key/button support. Any key or button can be configured as a qualifier and other key mappings can be configured to require one or more active qualifiers.

Updates:

• Programmed screen modes (DBLPAL, Multiscan etc..) display positioning and setup greatly improved.
• Performance improved in fastest possible CPU without JIT mode.
• Performance greatly improved when immediate blitter and fastest possible CPU is enabled and program does lots of small blits.
• Gayle IDE emulation IDE doubler mode compatibility improved.
• Sound syncronization updates, much more stable with VSync. (more updates planned in future)
• Fastest possible CPU mode audio glitch prevention hack updated. (WHDLoad IK+, Moonstone, Uridium II, etc..)
• Added pause emulation/disable sound option to active but mouse uncaptured state.
• RTG emulation optional ZorroII mode.
• UAE hard drive controller RDB hard drive “Do not mount” and “Bootable” options supported.
• Interlace mode handling and switching improved.
• Interlaced fields are matched in vsync modes if both Amiga mode and output device mode are interlaced.
• Lots more options can be modified on the fly using uae-configuration.
• Multiple display adapter/multiple monitor selection and support improved.
• GUI sound buffer range adjusted, non-linear scale, more smaller buffer sizes selectable.
• Joystick/mouse autoswitch also enabled in Input panel non-GamePorts mode.
• Native code execution disabled by default. Enable option in Miscellaneous panel.
• CPU Idle automatic limit added, no more slowdowns if it is set too low.
• Keyboard emulation improved, properly emulated handshake and lost sync state.

Bug fixed:

• uaenet.device crash if opened without installed winpcap.
• Startup crash if more than 8 serial ports detected.
• Random hangs when switching cycle-exact mode on the fly.
• CD image/physical media change on the fly didn’t always trigger notification correctly.
• Lots of bsdsocket emulation compatibility and multi-thread stability fixes (YAM hangs fixed)
• Directory filesystem reported file size was not updated until file was closed.
• Directory filesystem host side memory leak fix.
• Some Advanced Chipset options were not correctly overridden in compatibility mode.
• Mouse input stopping working randomly after returning emulation from GUI.
• Emulated middle mouse button got stuck in rawinput mode if middle button was set to untrap mouse.
• Detect and fix bad configuration options when using uae-configuration, for example it was possible to enable both cycle-exact and JIT at the same time causing frozen emulation.
• Weird cycle-exact mode interrupt timing issue. (Guardian Dragon II / Kefren’s random hang)
• Some minimized/inactive/active switching issues.
• Directory hard drives configured as unbootable still booted normally under KS 1.3.
• Windows dialogs (not GUI or file dialogs) were invisible in fullscreen Direct3D mode.
