1.1.1.14 root 80: Version 1.5.0 (2011-07-19):
1.1.1.15! root 81: ---------------------------
1.1.1.14 root 82:
83: Emulation:
84: - Alternative CPU core based on WinUAE for more accurate future
85: HW interaction emulation (see readme.txt on how to enable it)
86: - Use precise clocks values (as described in Atari's official schematics)
87: for better video/dma audio synchronisation (e.g. More Or Less Zero by DHS)
88: - DSP:
89: - Some DSP-timing sensitive Falcon demos that by luck happened to work
90: with Hatari v1.4, don't work anymore in v1.5 with the default UAE CPU
91: core. This is because while DSP cycle accuracy has been improved,
92: the default UAE CPU core isn't fully cycle accurate. The experimental
93: WinUAE core is needed to run them
94: - Undocumented 2 bit shift special case for DSP SSI <-> crossbar exchanges
95: in hanshake mode with 32 Mhz clock (fixes DSP MP2 player used in many
96: demos & programs, but that requires also using WinUAE core)
97: - Sound improvements:
98: - Major rewrite and accuracy improvements in STE DMA sound, including
99: emulation of the 8 bytes FIFO, giving results nearly identical to
100: a real STE (e.g. HexTracker by Paulo Simoes)
101: - Improved precision in sound emulation, with nearly no rounding errors
102: over successive VBL (correct sound latency on US TOS running at 60 Hz)
103: - By default mix 3 YM voices using a lookup table of values
104: measured on real STF to improve digisound (e.g. Flashback demo sound)
105: - Remove old ST Sound's code used for tone and noise step compute
106: (some low period values were not correctly emulated)
107: - Video emulation on STF/STE:
108: - On STE, correctly shift display 8 pixels to the left when using
109: 224 bytes overscan
110: - Add support for spec512 mode in med res (fixes 'Best Part Of The
111: Creation' in 'Punish Your Machine', 'HighRes Mode' demo by Paradox)
112: - Correctly shift the screen 4 pixels to the left when left border is removed
113: in med res overscan (Hatari 1.4 handled only low res, fixes 'No Cooper'
114: by 1984, 'Best Part Of The Creation' by Delta Force)
115: - Precisely emulate the number of frames per sec (eg 50.053 fps in PAL
116: instead of the usual 50 Hz)
117:
118: Emulator:
119: - Atari program given as argument to Hatari will be automatically
120: started after TOS boots. GEMDOS hard disk directory can now be
121: give also as an argument, not just as a (-d) option
122: - TOS4 or --machine falcon option use enables DSP emulation now
123: (follow them with --dsp none to disable DSP emulation)
124: - Memory state saving and restoring fixes, especially for Falcon
125: - Crossbar state is included -> state file ABI break
126: - AVI recording options can be set in the new [Video] config file section
127: - AVI recording supports non integer frame rates.
128: - Falcon/TT Videl/hostscreen improvements:
129: - New setting/option for using Desktop resolution & scaling
130: in fullscreen instead of changing the resolution. On by default
131: - User's desktop size is used as max limit for Videl zooming.
132: Requires SDL >= 1.2.10
133: - Videl resolution change is done immediately, not 3 VBLs late
134: - Fix issues in switching between same sized VDI & TT resolutions
135: - SDL GUI improvements:
136: - DSP can be disabled from the GUI without needing to restart Hatari
137: - Disk access LED and desktop-resolution options
138: - AVI video length (mins:secs) is shown in titlebar during recording
139: - Option for cropping statusbar from videos & screenshots
140: - Fileselector scrollbar can be used with mouse
141: - YM mixing method selection
142: - Debugging improvements:
143: - New disassembler with more Motorola like syntax
144: - CPU & DSP "disasm" and "memdump" commands accept register & symbol
145: names in addition to numeric addresses / address ranges
146: - Option to disable Falcon mic
147: ("--mic off" is needed for Mudflap debugging)
148: - "--run-vbls" can be set also at run-time
149: - "--bios-intercept" can be toggled from debugger (not just enabled)
150: - BIOS CON: output is converted to ASCII and redirected to host console
151: with the --bios-intercept option
152: - Support for tracing DSP, Videl and Crossbar
153: - Support for tracing AES calls. VDI calls can now be traced
154: also without using an extended VDI resolution

156: - TEXT, DATA and BSS variables for addresses of corresponding segments
157: in currently loaded program
158: - "aes", "vdi" and "gemdos" subcommands for "info". Without arguments
159: they will output information about corresponding OS part state,
160: with (a non-zero) argument, opcode/call name table is shown.
161: "video" subcommand for showing video related information.
162: "cookiejar" subcommand for showing cookiejar contents.
163: - "file" subcommand to "lock" that executes debugger commands from
164: given file when debugger is entered (or ":lock" breakpoint is hit)
165: - ":lock" option to breakpoints that will show (without stopping the
166: emulation) the same output as what's shown on entering the debugger
167: - ":file" option to breakpoints that executes the commands from
168: given file when the breakpoint is hit. This can be used to chain
169: debugger actions
170: - multiple breakpoints options can be specified per breakpoint
171: - parenthesis in "evaluate" command are used to indicate memory
172: accesses (instead of operator precedence like earlier)
173: - DSP and CPU code profiling functionality. Provides statistics about
174: profiled code (executed code address ranges, max and total counts
175: and cycles), lists addresses/instructions taking most cyles and if
176: symbols are loaded, what were the most used symbol addresses.
177: - Profiling information is also shown in disassembly output
178:
179: Other changes:
180: - hmsa tool can create empty disk images in addition to converting
181: disks between ST & MSA formats
182: - Minimal hatari-tos-register.sh Linux init script (example)
183: to register Hatari as binfmt_misc handler/runner for TOS programs
184: - hatari-console.py renamed to hconsole.py, documented and made extensible
185: (hconsole is command line Python interface for Hatari remote API)
186: - Support for plain Makefiles removed (except for internal tests),
187: only CMake is used for configuring and building Hatari
188: - CMake doesn't require anymore working C++, C-compiler is enough

195: - IDE improvements:
196: - Support for second drive (IDE slave)
197: - WIN_FORMAT command (allows HD Driver to format IDE drives)
198: - GEMDOS HDD emulation:
199: - Minor fixes to Fseek(), Fopen(), Fdatime() (e.g. Pure debugger works)
200: - On TOS v4 Fread() size arg is unsigned, on earlier TOS its signed
201: (bad code can use -1L to read whole file instead getting fail on TOS4)
202: - Prevent DTA and read/write functions accessing invalid memory areas
203: - Programs can now change read-only files to be writable
204: - Falcon sound emulation:

214: - add support for STE's 224 bytes overscan line without stabilizer
215: - when reading $ff8205/07/09 on STE, take into account the value
216: of horizontal scrolling/prefetch and linewidth
217: - when writing to $ff8205/07/09 on STE, correctly handle the case
218: where the write is made while display in ON
219: - LMC1992 emulation / STE sound filtering
220:
221: Emulator:
222: - Host mouse is centered to Hatari window on Falcon resolution changes
223: (helps in synchronizing host and emulated mouse positions)
224: - Toggling fullscreen doesn't unpause paused emulation
225: - Falcon/TT resolution zooming is now controlled by separate options for
226: monitor aspect ratio correction and maximum zoomed Hatari window size.
227: This can reduce Hatari window resolution size changes significantly and
228: makes e.g. FUN's Alive demo viewable in fullscreen mode. Limits for
229: window size are also checked to see whether ST/STE low rez should be
230: zoomed and how much of borders can be shown (when borders enabled)
231: - Split the Screen dialog into two separate dialogs, one for Atari
232: monitor emulation setup and one for Hatari window setup
233: - GEMDOS drive emulation:
234: - support long host directory names and much improved long filename support
235: - convert host filename chars invalid in TOS to valid ones ('@')
236: - use TOS filename matching instead of glob() (can match names with [])
237: - Options for preventing floppy image (--protect-floppy) and GEMDOS
238: emulated drive directory (--protect-hd) modifications
239: - AVI file recording:
240: - video can be stored as BMP or as PNG images
241: - audio is stored as 16 bits stereo PCM
242: - Statusbar shows CPU type & speed
243: - Can create blank 2.88MB (ED) and 1.44MB (HD) floppy images
244: from the GUI in addition to DD & SD images. After creating
245: new floppy image, one can directly insert it to A: or B:.
246: - Tracing for BIOS, XBIOS, GEMDOS and VDI traps gives in addition
247: to the opcode, also the name of the corresponding OS function
248: - Major debugger improvements:
249: - TAB-completion for debugger commands, command arguments and
250: symbol names. Requires readline library
251: - "parse" command and --parse Hatari command line option to
252: execute debugger commands from a file
253: - "stateload" and "statesave" commands for memory snapshots
254: - "trace" command for tracing what the emulated code does
255: - "symbols" command for loading and listing CPU & DSP code & data
256: symbols/addresses. Code symbols are shown on CPU & DSP disassembly
257: and code & data symbols can be used in breakpoints
258: - "evaluate" command for doing calculations. Register and symbol
259: names in expressions are replaced by their values. '$' will be
260: TAB-completed to last 'evaluate' command result
261: - "cd" command to change Hatari work directory
262: - "exec" command to execute shell commands (ENABLE_SYSTEM_DEBUG_CALL)
263: - "info" command for showing Atari HW and OS information
264: - "lock" command for setting what information is shown every time on
265: entering the debugger, e.g. disassembly or memdump from given address.
266: "regaddr" argument does that from address pointed by given register
267: - improved register name handling + fixed DSP reg name matching
268: - if both sides of conditional breakpoint condition are identical, replace
269: right side with current value of given expression (e.g. if it's "d0",
270: use current D0 value). If the comparison is for inequality ("!"),
271: output the value & break only when the value changes from the previous
272: value (not original like with other comparisons). Symbols support
273: - ":trace" option to trace/output breakpoint hits without breaking
274: - breakpoints count hits and can be optionally removed after first hit
275: (":once" option) or triggered only on every Nth hit (":<count>" option)
276: - dsp/address command is a shortcut for conditional breakpoints and its
277: argument can be an expression (see "evaluate" above)
278: - Display DSP instructions cycle timings in disasm mode (in cycles)
279: - Configuration options for how many lines to disasm & memdump
280: - Fix VBLs/s counting to work also when --run-vbls isn't used

437: - The user's configuration files are now located in the directory ~/.hatari/
438: instead of the $HOME directory itself.
439: - Improved VDI resolution mode (resolution can now be change in small steps).
440: - The 'Frame Skip 8' option can now be correctly selected, too.
441: - Fixed some bugs/problems in the GEMDOS HD emulation (with Fopen & Fcreate).
442: - Keyboard shortcuts for saving and restoring memory snapshots.
443: - Hatari can now be compiled with CeGCC, too.
444: - Fixed some problems with the FPU emulation. NeoN Grafix renders now right.

446: - A lot of source code clean-up and beautification.
447: - Monochrome mode now runs in 71 Hz, and 60 Hz color mode now also really runs
448: with 60 Hz refresh rate.
449: - Fixed memory snapshot files (some important data has not been saved before).
450: - It is now possible to automatically load/save memory snapshots at start/exit.
451: - Fixed some bugs in the file selection dialog.
452: - Some minor improvements in the GUI: Improved text edit fields, "Cancel"
453: buttons can now be activated by pressing the ESC key, and Hatari asks the
454: user before resetting and quitting the emulator.
455: - The Hatari executable is now relocatable (so the RPM can be relocated, too).
456: - It's now possible to enable special trace output with the "--trace" option.
457: - The size of the borders can now be specified in the hatari.cfg file.

469: with greater precision.
470: - Various improvements in MFP emulation (stop/start timer without writing to
471: data register, reading data register, handle pending cycles when timer
472: "wraps" (i.e. data register reaches 0), ...). Supports programs using some
473: very "fast" timers (Overscan Demos, ULM Demos) and requiring nearly cycle
474: exact synchronisation with the 68000.
475: - Mostly correct wait states when accessing sound registers (add wait state for
476: $ff8801/ff8803 when needed).
477: - Correct values of cycle counters read & write accesses for the most common
478: cases used for fullscreen/hardscroll.
479: - Correct values for Video_CalculateAddress, taking into account frequency and
480: left/right borders' state, needed for correct synchronisation between video
481: and cpu.
482: - Improve top/bottom border removal, including 60 Hz bottom border, as well as
483: "short" 50 Hz screen (171 lines)

489:
490:
491: Version 0.95 (2007-05-12):
492: --------------------------
493:
494: - This release brings you basic Atari TT and Falcon emulation!
495: Please note that both new emulation modes are still highly experiemental,
496: some few games and demos work, but most still have more or less big
497: problems.
498: - Basic emulation of Falcon video shifter (Videl), NVRAM and DMA sound is in
499: place. The biggest drawback: There is no working Falcon DSP emulation yet.
500: - Screen/Shifter emulation timings have slightly been changed. Some things
501: now work better, some others work worse...
502: - Some patches for compiling on RiscOS and AmigaOS have been included.

521: - Bugfix to GEMDOS path handling (Hatari SIGSEGV).
522: - Bugfix to emulated memory initialization (4MB was cleared earlier, now
523: exactly the amount set up for Hatari. Saves memory on embedded systems
524: if less than 4MB is specified.)
525: - Re-written command-line option handling.
526: - (Again) lots of code const/static, type usage and indentation cleanup.
527: - Preliminary support for TOS 3.0x and 030 TT software that runs in ST
528: resolutions and doesn't need PMMU.

537: the joystick cursor emu is enabled.
538: - Fixed relative mouse event handling in zoomed low-rez.
539: - Hatari shows now more of the bottom borden (screen size is now 384x276
540: instead of 384x267).
541: - Fixed sync delay timings - sound should now be better (e.g. on Mac OS X).
542: - Added basic support for compiling Hatari with MinGW.
543:

600: better in high resolutions.
601: - The fonts are now linked into the executable.
602: - Added support for DIM floppy disk images.
603:
604:
605: Version 0.45 (2003-10-30):
606: --------------------------

650: --------------------------
651:
652: - Some parts of the code accessed the SR directly to read the IPL -
653: however the UAE CPU core only updates the SR when doing a MakeSR() first.
