1.1.1.14! root 6: Version 1.5.0 (2011-07-19):
! 7: -------------------
! 8:
! 9: Emulation:
! 10: - Alternative CPU core based on WinUAE for more accurate future
! 11: HW interaction emulation (see readme.txt on how to enable it)
! 12: - Use precise clocks values (as described in Atari's official schematics)
! 13: for better video/dma audio synchronisation (e.g. More Or Less Zero by DHS)
! 14: - DSP:
! 15: - Some DSP-timing sensitive Falcon demos that by luck happened to work
! 16: with Hatari v1.4, don't work anymore in v1.5 with the default UAE CPU
! 17: core. This is because while DSP cycle accuracy has been improved,
! 18: the default UAE CPU core isn't fully cycle accurate. The experimental
! 19: WinUAE core is needed to run them
! 20: - Undocumented 2 bit shift special case for DSP SSI <-> crossbar exchanges
! 21: in hanshake mode with 32 Mhz clock (fixes DSP MP2 player used in many
! 22: demos & programs, but that requires also using WinUAE core)
! 23: - Sound improvements:
! 24: - Major rewrite and accuracy improvements in STE DMA sound, including
! 25: emulation of the 8 bytes FIFO, giving results nearly identical to
! 26: a real STE (e.g. HexTracker by Paulo Simoes)
! 27: - Improved precision in sound emulation, with nearly no rounding errors
! 28: over successive VBL (correct sound latency on US TOS running at 60 Hz)
! 29: - By default mix 3 YM voices using a lookup table of values
! 30: measured on real STF to improve digisound (e.g. Flashback demo sound)
! 31: - Remove old ST Sound's code used for tone and noise step compute
! 32: (some low period values were not correctly emulated)
! 33: - Video emulation on STF/STE:
! 34: - On STE, correctly shift display 8 pixels to the left when using
! 35: 224 bytes overscan
! 36: - Add support for spec512 mode in med res (fixes 'Best Part Of The
! 37: Creation' in 'Punish Your Machine', 'HighRes Mode' demo by Paradox)
! 38: - Correctly shift the screen 4 pixels to the left when left border is removed
! 39: in med res overscan (Hatari 1.4 handled only low res, fixes 'No Cooper'
! 40: by 1984, 'Best Part Of The Creation' by Delta Force)
! 41: - Precisely emulate the number of frames per sec (eg 50.053 fps in PAL
! 42: instead of the usual 50 Hz)
! 43:
! 44: Emulator:
! 45: - Atari program given as argument to Hatari will be automatically
! 46: started after TOS boots. GEMDOS hard disk directory can now be
! 47: give also as an argument, not just as a (-d) option
! 48: - TOS4 or --machine falcon option use enables DSP emulation now
! 49: (follow them with --dsp none to disable DSP emulation)
! 50: - Memory state saving and restoring fixes, especially for Falcon
! 51: - Crossbar state is included -> state file ABI break
! 52: - AVI recording options can be set in the new [Video] config file section
! 53: - AVI recording supports non integer frame rates.
! 54: - Falcon/TT Videl/hostscreen improvements:
! 55: - New setting/option for using Desktop resolution & scaling
! 56: in fullscreen instead of changing the resolution. On by default
! 57: - User's desktop size is used as max limit for Videl zooming.
! 58: Requires SDL >= 1.2.10
! 59: - Videl resolution change is done immediately, not 3 VBLs late
! 60: - Fix issues in switching between same sized VDI & TT resolutions
! 61: - SDL GUI improvements:
! 62: - DSP can be disabled from the GUI without needing to restart Hatari
! 63: - Disk access LED and desktop-resolution options
! 64: - AVI video length (mins:secs) is shown in titlebar during recording
! 65: - Option for cropping statusbar from videos & screenshots
! 66: - Fileselector scrollbar can be used with mouse
! 67: - YM mixing method selection
! 68: - Debugging improvements:

! 70: - CPU & DSP "disasm" and "memdump" commands accept register & symbol
! 71: names in addition to numeric addresses / address ranges
! 72: - Option to disable Falcon mic
! 73: ("--mic off" is needed for Mudflap debugging)
! 74: - "--run-vbls" can be set also at run-time
! 75: - "--bios-intercept" can be toggled from debugger (not just enabled)
! 76: - BIOS CON: output is converted to ASCII and redirected to host console
! 77: with the --bios-intercept option

! 83: in currently loaded program
! 84: - "aes", "vdi" and "gemdos" subcommands for "info". Without arguments
! 85: they will output information about corresponding OS part state,
! 86: with (a non-zero) argument, opcode/call name table is shown.
! 87: "video" subcommand for showing video related information.
! 88: "cookiejar" subcommand for showing cookiejar contents.
! 89: - "file" subcommand to "lock" that executes debugger commands from
! 90: given file when debugger is entered (or ":lock" breakpoint is hit)
! 91: - ":lock" option to breakpoints that will show (without stopping the
! 92: emulation) the same output as what's shown on entering the debugger
! 93: - ":file" option to breakpoints that executes the commands from
! 94: given file when the breakpoint is hit. This can be used to chain
! 95: debugger actions
! 96: - multiple breakpoints options can be specified per breakpoint
! 97: - parenthesis in "evaluate" command are used to indicate memory
! 98: accesses (instead of operator precedence like earlier)
! 99: - DSP and CPU code profiling functionality. Provides statistics about
! 100: profiled code (executed code address ranges, max and total counts
! 101: and cycles), lists addresses/instructions taking most cyles and if
! 102: symbols are loaded, what were the most used symbol addresses.
! 103: - Profiling information is also shown in disassembly output
! 104:
! 105: Other changes:
! 106: - hmsa tool can create empty disk images in addition to converting
! 107: disks between ST & MSA formats

! 112: - Support for plain Makefiles removed (except for internal tests),
! 113: only CMake is used for configuring and building Hatari
! 114: - CMake doesn't require anymore working C++, C-compiler is enough

122: - Support for second drive (IDE slave)
123: - WIN_FORMAT command (allows HD Driver to format IDE drives)
124: - GEMDOS HDD emulation:
125: - Minor fixes to Fseek(), Fopen(), Fdatime() (e.g. Pure debugger works)
126: - On TOS v4 Fread() size arg is unsigned, on earlier TOS its signed
127: (bad code can use -1L to read whole file instead getting fail on TOS4)
128: - Prevent DTA and read/write functions accessing invalid memory areas
129: - Programs can now change read-only files to be writable
130: - Falcon sound emulation:
131: - Microphone (jack) emulation in Falcon mode (requires portaudio library)

133: - DMA sound recording
134: - Crossbar handshake mode transfers
135: - Max VDI rez increased to TT-hi size (1280x960)
136: - 68020+FPU changed to 68EC030+FPU (no MMU 030) for Falcon and TT modes

139: - correctly shift the screen 4 pixels to the left when left border is removed
140: - add support for STE's 224 bytes overscan line without stabilizer
141: - when reading $ff8205/07/09 on STE, take into account the value
142: of horizontal scrolling/prefetch and linewidth
143: - when writing to $ff8205/07/09 on STE, correctly handle the case
144: where the write is made while display in ON
145: - LMC1992 emulation / STE sound filtering
146:
147: Emulator:
148: - Host mouse is centered to Hatari window on Falcon resolution changes
149: (helps in synchronizing host and emulated mouse positions)
150: - Toggling fullscreen doesn't unpause paused emulation
151: - Falcon/TT resolution zooming is now controlled by separate options for
152: monitor aspect ratio correction and maximum zoomed Hatari window size.
153: This can reduce Hatari window resolution size changes significantly and
154: makes e.g. FUN's Alive demo viewable in fullscreen mode. Limits for
155: window size are also checked to see whether ST/STE low rez should be
156: zoomed and how much of borders can be shown (when borders enabled)
157: - Split the Screen dialog into two separate dialogs, one for Atari
158: monitor emulation setup and one for Hatari window setup
159: - GEMDOS drive emulation:
160: - support long host directory names and much improved long filename support

163: - Options for preventing floppy image (--protect-floppy) and GEMDOS
164: emulated drive directory (--protect-hd) modifications
165: - AVI file recording:
166: - video can be stored as BMP or as PNG images
167: - audio is stored as 16 bits stereo PCM
168: - Statusbar shows CPU type & speed
169: - Can create blank 2.88MB (ED) and 1.44MB (HD) floppy images
170: from the GUI in addition to DD & SD images. After creating
171: new floppy image, one can directly insert it to A: or B:.
172: - Tracing for BIOS, XBIOS, GEMDOS and VDI traps gives in addition
173: to the opcode, also the name of the corresponding OS function
174: - Major debugger improvements:
175: - TAB-completion for debugger commands, command arguments and
176: symbol names. Requires readline library

180: - "trace" command for tracing what the emulated code does
181: - "symbols" command for loading and listing CPU & DSP code & data
182: symbols/addresses. Code symbols are shown on CPU & DSP disassembly
183: and code & data symbols can be used in breakpoints
184: - "evaluate" command for doing calculations. Register and symbol
185: names in expressions are replaced by their values. '$' will be
186: TAB-completed to last 'evaluate' command result
187: - "cd" command to change Hatari work directory
188: - "exec" command to execute shell commands (ENABLE_SYSTEM_DEBUG_CALL)
189: - "info" command for showing Atari HW and OS information
190: - "lock" command for setting what information is shown every time on
191: entering the debugger, e.g. disassembly or memdump from given address.
192: "regaddr" argument does that from address pointed by given register
193: - improved register name handling + fixed DSP reg name matching
194: - if both sides of conditional breakpoint condition are identical, replace
195: right side with current value of given expression (e.g. if it's "d0",
196: use current D0 value). If the comparison is for inequality ("!"),
197: output the value & break only when the value changes from the previous
198: value (not original like with other comparisons). Symbols support
199: - ":trace" option to trace/output breakpoint hits without breaking
200: - breakpoints count hits and can be optionally removed after first hit
201: (":once" option) or triggered only on every Nth hit (":<count>" option)
202: - dsp/address command is a shortcut for conditional breakpoints and its
203: argument can be an expression (see "evaluate" above)
204: - Display DSP instructions cycle timings in disasm mode (in cycles)
205: - Configuration options for how many lines to disasm & memdump

398: "wraps" (i.e. data register reaches 0), ...). Supports programs using some
399: very "fast" timers (Overscan Demos, ULM Demos) and requiring nearly cycle
400: exact synchronisation with the 68000.
401: - Mostly correct wait states when accessing sound registers (add wait state for
402: $ff8801/ff8803 when needed).
403: - Correct values of cycle counters read & write accesses for the most common
404: cases used for fullscreen/hardscroll.
405: - Correct values for Video_CalculateAddress, taking into account frequency and
406: left/right borders' state, needed for correct synchronisation between video
407: and cpu.

413: Your Machine)
414: - Small adjustements in cycle precise color handling (spec512.c)
415:
416:
417: Version 0.95 (2007-05-12):
418: --------------------------
419:
420: - This release brings you basic Atari TT and Falcon emulation!
421: Please note that both new emulation modes are still highly experiemental,
422: some few games and demos work, but most still have more or less big
423: problems.
424: - Basic emulation of Falcon video shifter (Videl), NVRAM and DMA sound is in
425: place. The biggest drawback: There is no working Falcon DSP emulation yet.
426: - Screen/Shifter emulation timings have slightly been changed. Some things
427: now work better, some others work worse...

576: --------------------------
577:
578: - Some parts of the code accessed the SR directly to read the IPL -
579: however the UAE CPU core only updates the SR when doing a MakeSR() first.
