Download WinUAE 2.5.0

Version 2.5.0 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 to 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 changelog for this release can be found below.

New features and updates:

• GUI is finally fully resizeable! GUI font is configurable.
• GUI position, size and fonts saved separately for windowed, fullwindow and fullscreen modes.
• GUI CD audio volume control added.
• Syncronize clock option does full time sync when emulation is unpaused or exited from GUI.
• Memory configuration can be fully modified (on the fly, loading state file or using Restart button) without need to rerun the emulator.
• RTG screenshot and video recording directly from emulated VRAM if capture before filtering ticked.
• RTG monitor (if multiple monitors) selection added to GUI.
• RTG hardware sprite and hardware vblank emulation are now optional.
• Chipset “Wait for Blitter” too fast CPU workaround added, enabled by default, fixes most graphics glitches if program does not wait for the blitter, more compatible than immediate blitter.
• Optional fake 1G directory harddrive size limit for old programs that think drive is full or has negative space if drive is bigger than 2G. Can be changed on the fly.
• Added disable notification icon option.
• Added blank unused displays(s) (opens full screen topmost black window(s)) option.
• CD32 CD controller emulation improved (Missing Guardian and Universe CD32 CD audio)
• AutoVSync 100Hz/120Hz capable monitor support added.
• Low latency vsync and legacy vsync stability improved.
• Full PC hardware interlaced mode support.
• 68060 missing integer instructions are not anymore emulated if more compatible CPU checkbox is checked.
• Chipset emulation improvements. (EyeQlazer/Scoopex, Blerkenwiegel/Scoopex, No Way Demo/Academy, Brian the Lion AGA, SuperPlus monitor mode)
• Sometimes appearing Windows “no disk in drive” dialogs that point to missing harddrive path are gone.
• Audio emulation quality improved.
• Parallel port sampler emulation audio quality improved.
• GamePorts panel remap option allows separate axis configuration and multiple events.
• Game Ports panel Test mode can be used to test any kind of input event, not just joystick events.
• Lots of Input panel improvements. (qualifiers, custom events etc)

• Random unexplained graphics glitches when cycle-exact CPU enabled and bsdsocket emulation was in use.
• Some chipset mode on the fly configuration changes caused blank screen when returning back to RTG mode.
• Volume control in WASAPI exclusive mode didn’t work.
• Windows XP blank screen after ALT-TAB back to Direct3D fullscreen mode.
• Direct3D pixel alignment errors in some modes. (again)
• Many Input configuration fixes.
