1.1.1.15 root 203: ---------------------------
1.1.1.14 root 204:
205: Emulation:
206: - Alternative CPU core based on WinUAE for more accurate future
207: HW interaction emulation (see readme.txt on how to enable it)
208: - Use precise clocks values (as described in Atari's official schematics)
209: for better video/dma audio synchronisation (e.g. More Or Less Zero by DHS)
210: - DSP:
211: - Some DSP-timing sensitive Falcon demos that by luck happened to work
212: with Hatari v1.4, don't work anymore in v1.5 with the default UAE CPU
213: core. This is because while DSP cycle accuracy has been improved,
214: the default UAE CPU core isn't fully cycle accurate. The experimental
215: WinUAE core is needed to run them
216: - Undocumented 2 bit shift special case for DSP SSI <-> crossbar exchanges
217: in hanshake mode with 32 Mhz clock (fixes DSP MP2 player used in many
218: demos & programs, but that requires also using WinUAE core)
219: - Sound improvements:
220: - Major rewrite and accuracy improvements in STE DMA sound, including
221: emulation of the 8 bytes FIFO, giving results nearly identical to
222: a real STE (e.g. HexTracker by Paulo Simoes)
223: - Improved precision in sound emulation, with nearly no rounding errors
224: over successive VBL (correct sound latency on US TOS running at 60 Hz)
225: - By default mix 3 YM voices using a lookup table of values
226: measured on real STF to improve digisound (e.g. Flashback demo sound)
227: - Remove old ST Sound's code used for tone and noise step compute
228: (some low period values were not correctly emulated)
229: - Video emulation on STF/STE:
230: - On STE, correctly shift display 8 pixels to the left when using
231: 224 bytes overscan
232: - Add support for spec512 mode in med res (fixes 'Best Part Of The
233: Creation' in 'Punish Your Machine', 'HighRes Mode' demo by Paradox)
234: - Correctly shift the screen 4 pixels to the left when left border is removed
235: in med res overscan (Hatari 1.4 handled only low res, fixes 'No Cooper'
236: by 1984, 'Best Part Of The Creation' by Delta Force)
237: - Precisely emulate the number of frames per sec (eg 50.053 fps in PAL
238: instead of the usual 50 Hz)
239:
240: Emulator:
241: - Atari program given as argument to Hatari will be automatically
242: started after TOS boots. GEMDOS hard disk directory can now be
243: give also as an argument, not just as a (-d) option
244: - TOS4 or --machine falcon option use enables DSP emulation now
245: (follow them with --dsp none to disable DSP emulation)
246: - Memory state saving and restoring fixes, especially for Falcon
247: - Crossbar state is included -> state file ABI break
248: - AVI recording options can be set in the new [Video] config file section
249: - AVI recording supports non integer frame rates.
250: - Falcon/TT Videl/hostscreen improvements:
251: - New setting/option for using Desktop resolution & scaling
252: in fullscreen instead of changing the resolution. On by default
253: - User's desktop size is used as max limit for Videl zooming.
254: Requires SDL >= 1.2.10
255: - Videl resolution change is done immediately, not 3 VBLs late
256: - Fix issues in switching between same sized VDI & TT resolutions
257: - SDL GUI improvements:
258: - DSP can be disabled from the GUI without needing to restart Hatari
259: - Disk access LED and desktop-resolution options
260: - AVI video length (mins:secs) is shown in titlebar during recording
261: - Option for cropping statusbar from videos & screenshots

270: - "--run-vbls" can be set also at run-time
271: - "--bios-intercept" can be toggled from debugger (not just enabled)
272: - BIOS CON: output is converted to ASCII and redirected to host console
273: with the --bios-intercept option
274: - Support for tracing DSP, Videl and Crossbar

278: - TEXT, DATA and BSS variables for addresses of corresponding segments
279: in currently loaded program
280: - "aes", "vdi" and "gemdos" subcommands for "info". Without arguments
281: they will output information about corresponding OS part state,
282: with (a non-zero) argument, opcode/call name table is shown.
283: "video" subcommand for showing video related information.
284: "cookiejar" subcommand for showing cookiejar contents.
285: - "file" subcommand to "lock" that executes debugger commands from
286: given file when debugger is entered (or ":lock" breakpoint is hit)
287: - ":lock" option to breakpoints that will show (without stopping the
288: emulation) the same output as what's shown on entering the debugger
289: - ":file" option to breakpoints that executes the commands from
290: given file when the breakpoint is hit. This can be used to chain
291: debugger actions
292: - multiple breakpoints options can be specified per breakpoint
293: - parenthesis in "evaluate" command are used to indicate memory
294: accesses (instead of operator precedence like earlier)
295: - DSP and CPU code profiling functionality. Provides statistics about
296: profiled code (executed code address ranges, max and total counts
297: and cycles), lists addresses/instructions taking most cyles and if
298: symbols are loaded, what were the most used symbol addresses.
299: - Profiling information is also shown in disassembly output
300:
301: Other changes:
302: - hmsa tool can create empty disk images in addition to converting

307: (hconsole is command line Python interface for Hatari remote API)
308: - Support for plain Makefiles removed (except for internal tests),
309: only CMake is used for configuring and building Hatari
310: - CMake doesn't require anymore working C++, C-compiler is enough

316: Emulation:
317: - IDE improvements:
318: - Support for second drive (IDE slave)
319: - WIN_FORMAT command (allows HD Driver to format IDE drives)
320: - GEMDOS HDD emulation:
321: - Minor fixes to Fseek(), Fopen(), Fdatime() (e.g. Pure debugger works)
322: - On TOS v4 Fread() size arg is unsigned, on earlier TOS its signed
323: (bad code can use -1L to read whole file instead getting fail on TOS4)

336: - add support for STE's 224 bytes overscan line without stabilizer
337: - when reading $ff8205/07/09 on STE, take into account the value
338: of horizontal scrolling/prefetch and linewidth
339: - when writing to $ff8205/07/09 on STE, correctly handle the case
340: where the write is made while display in ON
341: - LMC1992 emulation / STE sound filtering
342:
343: Emulator:
344: - Host mouse is centered to Hatari window on Falcon resolution changes
345: (helps in synchronizing host and emulated mouse positions)
346: - Toggling fullscreen doesn't unpause paused emulation
347: - Falcon/TT resolution zooming is now controlled by separate options for
348: monitor aspect ratio correction and maximum zoomed Hatari window size.
349: This can reduce Hatari window resolution size changes significantly and
350: makes e.g. FUN's Alive demo viewable in fullscreen mode. Limits for
351: window size are also checked to see whether ST/STE low rez should be
352: zoomed and how much of borders can be shown (when borders enabled)
353: - Split the Screen dialog into two separate dialogs, one for Atari
354: monitor emulation setup and one for Hatari window setup
355: - GEMDOS drive emulation:

359: - Options for preventing floppy image (--protect-floppy) and GEMDOS
360: emulated drive directory (--protect-hd) modifications
361: - AVI file recording:
362: - video can be stored as BMP or as PNG images
363: - audio is stored as 16 bits stereo PCM
364: - Statusbar shows CPU type & speed
365: - Can create blank 2.88MB (ED) and 1.44MB (HD) floppy images
366: from the GUI in addition to DD & SD images. After creating
367: new floppy image, one can directly insert it to A: or B:.
368: - Tracing for BIOS, XBIOS, GEMDOS and VDI traps gives in addition
369: to the opcode, also the name of the corresponding OS function
370: - Major debugger improvements:
371: - TAB-completion for debugger commands, command arguments and
372: symbol names. Requires readline library
373: - "parse" command and --parse Hatari command line option to
374: execute debugger commands from a file
375: - "stateload" and "statesave" commands for memory snapshots
376: - "trace" command for tracing what the emulated code does
377: - "symbols" command for loading and listing CPU & DSP code & data
378: symbols/addresses. Code symbols are shown on CPU & DSP disassembly
379: and code & data symbols can be used in breakpoints
380: - "evaluate" command for doing calculations. Register and symbol
381: names in expressions are replaced by their values. '$' will be
382: TAB-completed to last 'evaluate' command result
383: - "cd" command to change Hatari work directory
384: - "exec" command to execute shell commands (ENABLE_SYSTEM_DEBUG_CALL)
385: - "info" command for showing Atari HW and OS information
386: - "lock" command for setting what information is shown every time on
387: entering the debugger, e.g. disassembly or memdump from given address.
388: "regaddr" argument does that from address pointed by given register
389: - improved register name handling + fixed DSP reg name matching
390: - if both sides of conditional breakpoint condition are identical, replace
391: right side with current value of given expression (e.g. if it's "d0",
392: use current D0 value). If the comparison is for inequality ("!"),
393: output the value & break only when the value changes from the previous
394: value (not original like with other comparisons). Symbols support
395: - ":trace" option to trace/output breakpoint hits without breaking
396: - breakpoints count hits and can be optionally removed after first hit
397: (":once" option) or triggered only on every Nth hit (":<count>" option)
398: - dsp/address command is a shortcut for conditional breakpoints and its
399: argument can be an expression (see "evaluate" above)
400: - Display DSP instructions cycle timings in disasm mode (in cycles)
401: - Configuration options for how many lines to disasm & memdump

614: --------------------------
615:
616: - This release brings you basic Atari TT and Falcon emulation!
