Details of Version 1.8.0 (2014-07-30):

Emulation

ST video changes:
  • Handle 0 byte line by switching freq in STE mode
  • Use high res when ff8260 is set to 3
  • Randomly return 0 or 1 when reading unused bits 3,7 and 11 of color registers (except when running from ROM)
  • Better detection of bottom border removal on a 60 Hz screen
  • support for color change during only 4 cycles
  • better bitmap/color alignment for STE med res overscan at 60 Hz
  • Set default value of nSpec512Threshold to "1" instead of "16"
  • Update the position of the next VBL when 50Hz and 60Hz lines are mixed
  • When video address is set into IO region, keep the video pointer on 24 bits

Videl changes:
  • correct masking of the true color palette registers

CPU changes:
  • Fix a case when MFP´s interrupt happens during the IACK sequence for HBL/VBL
  • Many prefetch changes required by some game´s protection

Sound changes:
  • Fix STE sound mixing using LMC when mixer=0 (DMA sound only)
  • Fix some crossbar´s sound errors for Falcon
  • Fix Microwire´s decoding of mask/data (based on official LMC1992´s doc)

FDC changes:
  • Add configurable RPM speed for each floppy drive, the possibility to turn each drive ON/OFF and the choice between single or double sided drive
  • Correct timings, behaviour and status register for all commands when a drive is OFF or empty.
  • Rewrite the index pulse part and all the delays expressed as disk´s revolution
  • Add support for the "Force Int on Index Pulse" command
  • Rewrite the DMA functions for better accuracy
  • Add support for IPF/CTR files by using the capsimage library
  • Add open source support for Pasti STX files, including random/fuzzy bits and variable length bits. Also allow to save writes to a .stx file into an additional .wd1772 file (store ´write sector´ and ´write track´ data)
  • Don´t force drives A and B at $4c2, keep the values detected by TOS
  • Many other timing / status register improvements

GEMDOS HD emulation:
  • Fix: clip filenames given through GEMDOS calls to 8+3 length using first ´.´
  • Fix: autostarting programs with GEMDOS-illegal host characters in their names

ACSI hard disk changes:
  • Fixed/improved READ CAPACITY and INQUIRY commands
  • Unsupported commands are now handled correctly
  • Now using fseeko() instead of fseek() for supporting large images

Other changes:
  • Don´t enable MegaST´s real time clock by default, it can cause some crashes in STF/STE mode
  • Improve ACIA´s wait state with E clock
  • Add support for IKBD commands 0x11 and 0x13 (resume/pause output) and 0x17 (joystick monitoring)


Emulator

SDL GUI:
  • Update clock speed in the status bar when changing bus speed in Falcon mode
  • In the floppy dialog, use a checkbox to enable/disable drives A and B and another checkbox to choose single/double sided drive
  • In the screen dialog, add checkbox for --desktop-st option
  • Add a 2nd line in the status bar, with infos on FDC, joysticks, monitor
  • Fix OSX performance issue caused by statusbar and overlay LED doing their own SDL_UpdateRects() calls

New command line options:
  • Options --drive-a and --drive-b to enable/disable drives A and B
  • Options --drive-a-heads and --drive-b-heads to select single or double sided drives A and B
  • --slowdown option to increase (multiply) VBL wait times

New Native Features commands:
  • NF_EXIT exits emulator with given exit code
  • NF_DEBUGGER invokes Hatari debugger from native program
  • NF_FASTFORWARD sets fast forward on/off

Tracing improvements:
  • Add option for tracing NatFeats calls
  • Fix: Xbios(255) modified the given argument string
  • Allow BIOS, XBIOS, GEMDOS, VDI and AES tracing to be enabled without enabling also X/BIOS interception, GEMDOS HD emulation or extended VDI mode
  • Show PC value for traced Bios/XBios/GemDOS calls

Debugger:
  • Fix: release mouse in all cases where debugger can be invoked
  • Fix: DSP disassembler didn´t in all cases show illegal opcodes correctly
  • Fix: "symbols" command crash when it was used during TOS bootup
  • Fix: TOS and cartridge addresses weren´t (with all TOS versions) in address order which asserted in profile data post-processor
  • Fix: "next" command didn´t work correctly in "hex" number base
  • Fix: depending on compiler/linker/assembler, DATA/BSS debug symbol offsets can in programs be either relative to their own, or to TEXT section start. If former fails, try latter when loading symbols.
  • New "ym" info subcommand to show YM register values
  • "quit" command by-passes exit confirmation dialog and takes an optional Hatari exit code value
  • removed limits on breakpoints and their conditions
  • when entering debugger, current program´s DRI/GST format debug symbols are automatically read from it, if such are available
  • new --debug-except option to specify which exceptions invoke the debugger, and WinUAE CPU core support for -D toggle option
  • "next"/"dspnext" commands work like in other debuggers, they skip subroutine/exception calls, for all other instructions they works like "step" command (earlier they always moved to next instruction in memory)
  • "next" and "dspnext" commands support optional "instruction type" argument, which can be used (for example) to continue emulation until subroutine returns
  • "history" command takes optional parameter specifying how many instructions of history will be tracked
  • CPU & DSP profile commands have now subcommand for profiling loops
  • "CpuInstr" and "DspInstr" variables for count of instructions executed since emulation was last continued from debugger
  • In addition to "!" condition, also "" conditions can store the checked value (when both sides of conditions are identical). With above change, this can be e.g. used to detect and profile what are worst frames in games and why
  • New "rename" command to rename files. Useful for scripted worst frame and spinloop profiling
  • Address space in ´dm´ command can be given like in DSP disassembly, "dm x:$100", in addition to earlier "dm x $100" syntax
  • Fix out of bounds memory access that could result in bad disassembly output when using the external disassembler (only "dc.w" were printed)

Tools
  • Increased max partition size in atari-hd-image script to 512MB.
  • New hatari_spinloop.py script for post-processing loop profile data. It can tell how many times loops were executed, how many times they spinned at minimum and maximum, at which VBL those happened, and what was the standard deviation of that.
  • gst2ascii supports now both section relative and TEXT section relative DATA/BSS symbol offsets
  • hconsole.Main() takes now Hatari command line options as argument
  • AHCC/GCC/VBCC examples on using (all) Native Features APIs
  • Improved mingw cross-compilation support

Fixed demos
  • 4-pixel plasma screen by TOS Crew (video, color change during only 4 cycles)

  • It´s A Girl 2 by Paradox (video, bottom border removal on a 60 Hz screen)
  • Pacemaker by Paradox (microwire, YM sound was muted)
  • Panic by Paulo Simoes (video, was broken since Hatari 1.7)
  • Shforstv.exe by Paulo Simoes (video, did not work in STE mode)

Anfang des Monats erschien Version 2.0.0 - damit läuft endlich wieder "Suretrip" von Checkpoint absturzfrei. Erwähnenswert finde ich noch, daß die 64-Bit-Version immer noch unter XP läuft; ist heutzutage ja auch beileibe keine Selbstverständlichkeit. Hier der Changelog:

Hatari 2.0.0 has been released. You can download it from http://download.tuxfamily.org/hatari/2.0.0
Many thanks to all the people who contributed to this version in different ways (code, bug report, testing, reverse engineering and documentation of the real HW, ...), see doc/authors.txt for a list of devs / contributors.
Major highlights of this new version :

- Hatari can use SDL2, this will take advantage of HW acceleration on the host PC and greatly enhance perfomance on OSX for example
- Hatari now uses one single CPU core for all machines (ST, STE, TT, Falcon). No more need for 2 different binaries
- video emulation now supports the 4 STF wakeup states for MMU/GLUE and a much more accurate state machine for border removal
- CPU emulation was improved a lot by using WinUAE's CPU and fixing some low level behaviour : IACK sequence, exception/interrupt stacking, 2 cycle accesses, bus accesses timing depending on memory region, instruction pairing, ...
- Falcon DMA sound was fixed
- support for MegaST and MegaSTE machine types
- improvements to Gemdos HD emulation
- SDL UI reworked with more options
- resizable window when using SDL2 (using HW acceleration)

See release-notes.txt for the full changelog.

Fixed demos : {Closure} by Sync, many Falcon demos where sound was randomly noisy

Fixed programs : many more, see compatibility list for a list of programs improved with Hatari 2.0.0

Edit: Stichpunkt verbesserte Sound-Emulation - die ist wirklich hörbar! Habe mir zuerst die Neuauflage von Second Reality angeguckt / angehört. Das klingt jetzt schon um einiges erträglicher. Auch die Samples von Suretrip I und II sind jetzt viel klarer. Das Update ist also wirklich einen Blick wert. Bzw. ein Ohr ... Wink

Edit 2: Hatari bietet jetzt VSync! Du meine Güte, wie konnte ich denn das übersehen? Surprised
