Hi,

von PCem bin ich nicht überzeugt. Vielleicht mal die v18 abwarten.

Wie immer das einzig wahre für Windows. PCem

Ach ja, stimmt. Das gibt es ja auch noch. Was ich heute übrigens - eher versehentlich - ergoogelt hatte: Ein Freund von mir (beruflich in der Informatik-Branche unterwegs) hatte mir mal Hyper-V empfohlen. Natürlich hatte ich schon mal vom Virtual-PC-Nachfolger gehört. Ich glaube sogar, der Windows-XP-Modus meiner vorherigen Windows-Version (7 Ultimate) lief darüber. Jetzt habe ich aber via Google eine Diskussion verfolgt, in der es hieß, das Windows 95 und Windows 98 nicht unter Hyper-V arbeiten (und NT 4.0 wohl nur mit Tricks). Das Problem war wohl Schwierigkeiten mit Maus- und Tastaturtreiber. Wußte ich vorher auch noch nicht.

Denise 2.2

Hab' mich letzte Nacht zum ersten Mal eingehender mit diesem Emulator beschäftigt. An der C64-Kompatibilität habe ich nichts zu mäkeln. Beim Amiga wird's dann schon eher glitchy - bzw. hat sich sogar Rink a Dink: Redux von Lemon nach kurzer Zeit mit einem "Oops" verabschiedet. Ich war da jetzt auch nicht sehr experimentierfreudig und habe das Ganze in der Standardkonfiguration (Amiga 500, OCS, je 512 KBytes Chip- und Slow-Mem) und Kickstart 3.1 laufen lassen. Arte von Sanity und gerade neuere Sachen wie Eon von The Black Lotus liefen dafür tadellos.

Abgesehen von Szene-Demos habe ich nichts ausprobiert.

Ich denke, ich werfe noch mal einen Blick darauf, sobald AGA dort Einzug gehalten hat.

Ja, für die Amiga-Emulation ist mir Denise noch nicht konkurrenzfähig (ich nutze weiterhin FS-UAE), aber der C64-Emulator ist bei mir absolute Referenz. Ich habe Denise seit bestimmt einem Jahr nicht mehr aktualisiert, weil mir nichts fehlt. Alles läuft einfach perfekt.

Schön finde ich die Entscheidung, Colodore als Standard-C64-Farbpalette zu nutzen. Diese Palette gefällt mir wirklich außerordentlich gut.

Der Amiga Part ist schon extrem gut in Denise. Vielleicht hast du da was falsch konfiguiert. Oder  1-2 Titel erwischt, die nicht korrekt laufen. Ist ja noch in den Anfängen, da kommt noch deutlich mehr von PiCiJi.

und Kickstart 3.1 laufen lassen.

War das jetzt ein Zahlendreher? Kickstart 1.3 wäre korrekt wenn alles laufen soll.

Kickstart 1.3 wäre korrekt wenn alles laufen soll.

1.3 wird von mir via WinUAE auf meinem Retro-Rechner auch am liebsten eingesetzt. Stand bei meinem erst ersten Google-Treffer (edge emulation) aber nicht zur Verfügung; da hab' ich einfach 3.1 genommen. Ich wollte es ja nur mal schnell ausprobieren.

Denise habe ich von meinem Windows-10-Rechner schon längst wieder entfernt. Aber wenn ich den Emulator mal wieder teste, dann weiß ich ja jetzt, woher ich Kickstart 1.3 herbekomme.

Obwohl meine Erfahrungen dafür sprechen, daß Grafikfehler eher für einen inkompatiblen Chipsatz sprechen (beispielsweise ECS statt OCS), während Programme bei einem inkompatiblem für gewöhnlich erst gar nicht starten.

Hier mal die Info, wie man Rink a Dink fixt. Direkt von PiCiJi. Wird es wohl später im Emulator noch anpassen. Läuft so aber.

Das Problem tritt auf, wenn die Laufwerks Geschwindigkeit bei 300 RPM steht. Etwas mehr und es funktioniert

Ach, cool! Übrigens war ich vor allem über das "Ooops" statt Guru verwundert.

WinUAE 5.1

WinUAE 5.1.0
New features/updates: UI

• On screen keyboard. Default mapped to pad button 4.
  
• Gamepad GUI control. Use game pad to control WinUAE GUI with some limits.
  
• Optional dark mode (Windows 10 or newer required)
  
• Emulation window dragging and resize does not anymore pause emulation.
  

New features/updates: emulation

• Built-in Munt MT-32/CM-32L emulation. Emulated devices listed in MIDI out setting. ROM images should be in <WinUAE rom path>\mt32-roms. or c:\mt32-rom-data\.
  
• AT&T DSP3210 emulation (AA3000 prototype). Not complete.
  
• More programmed chipset screen mode emulation improvements.
  
• Disk emulation improved, undocumented disk read DMA “last word may not come in” bug emulated.
  
• Chipset emulation updates and fixes.
  
• “Autoclip screenshots” option now supports programmed native screen modes.
  
• Native<>RTG and RTG<>RTG mode switching optimizations.
  
• A2410 display card emulation updates, works now with new Picasso96 driver.
  
• Input panel Backslash/F11 option now has third option that restores pre-5.0 keymap behavior.
  
• Do not list GPT partitioned harddrives in “Add Harddrives” panel.
  
• Football Director 2 dongle emulation.
  
• Quickstart Host Configuration menu first option renamed, “Default configuration” -> “Current host configuration”. Added new option “Default host configuration” that resets host configuration to defaults.
  
• Hard reset now randomizes CPU reset start up delay and initial floppy motor position.
  

Bugs fixes

• DMS brute force decryption failed to work with some encrypted DMS files.
  
• Alt-Tab from D3D11 fullscreen RTG mode made hardware mouse cursor invisible.
  
• Some configurations crashed when GUI Reset or Restart button was clicked.
  
• Enter GUI, eject disk, insert new disk, exit GUI: Disk was inserted immediately which is physically impossible and can confuse programs. Inserting disk without manually ejecting it first worked correctly.
  
• GUI Restart button didn’t fully restore GUI position/size if “Restarting” from fullscreen or full-window mode.
  
• Some configs crashed when GUI Restart button or Reset was pressed.
  
• WASAPI sound was disabled if sound driver only supported 8 channel audio.
  
• Some configurations opened multiple tiny inactive multi-monitor mode emulation windows without enabled multiple monitors.
  
• Workbench programmed screen mode (DBLPAL etc) positioning was not always correct when switching from other native mode.
  
• None serial port emulation mode and fast CPU configuration: serial port driver hung if serial data transmit was attempted.
  
• Integer scale + full window: Display panel windowed width and height was used instead of full window size (desktop size) when calculating scaling values.
  
• Screen might have flickered when starting Picasso96 RTG screen dragging.
  
• Multiple 0x76 partitions per HD/card can be mounted now, previously only first was mounted and the rest become zero size non-existing drives.
  
• USB HID input device usage page check fixed, it accepted devices that had nothing to do with being input device.
  

Gamepad GUI control details
A = select (pad mode)/left mouse click (mouse mode)
B = right mouse click (mouse mode).
Y = change active GUI area (pad mode)/TAB UI element change (mouse mode).
D-pad = select UI elements, “pad mode”.
Left stick = move mouse, “mouse mode”.
Currently requires XInput compatible gamepad.
Onscreen keyboard details
Pad button 4 is default mapped to open/close on screen keyboard input event (if loaded config has button 4 mapped to something else, button is not mapped to OSK)
Pad button/d-pad that normally controls Amiga joystick moves keyboard selection. Joystick movements and button presses are not sent to Amiga side as long as OSK is open.
Fire button press = send selected key’s press
Fire button release = send selected key’s release
Second button press = toggle state of selected key. Keep shift or control or other qualifier key pressed.
Second button release = does nothing.
Keyboard layout is US layout + 2 keys that are used in international layout variants + few bonus “keys”.
If GUI is entered when OSK is open, GUI pad control is automatically enabled.

Von BigPEmu gab es ein Update auf 1.093

Es gab noch ein kleines Update auf Version 1.094.

- The Checkered Flag "Uncap Framerate" option can now be switched between 30Hz and 60Hz.
- Added some sync code to the Checkered Flag script to fix possible flickering issues. (only became noticeable at 60Hz)
- Checkered Flag is generally playable at 60Hz, but you're likely to encounter more timing bugs. Native system requirements are also significantly higher, as the Jaguar is automatically overclocked in this mode.

Traditonell zu Weihnachten: Vice 3.8

* Changes in Vice 3.8
=====================

** general
----------

- added WIC64 support for C64,C128,SCPU64,VIC20
- virtual device (host directory) fixes (Scratch command correctly returns
  number of scratched files, Rename command produces "file exists" error if the
  destination file exists)
- added video capture in ZMBV format. This will produce lossless videos at correct
  emulated FPS.
- the old FFMPEG support was deprecated and is disabled by default. New experimental
  code was added that will work with external ffmpeg executable instead.
- reSID: fixed a Noise Init problem
- reSID: filter tweaks
- reSID: The 6581 saw+pulse waveform was wrong
- reSID: tweak shift register reset time for 6581
- reSID: 8580 Filter ringing fix
- reSID: 6581 filters: allow negative values for kVg-Vx
- made raw printer driver pass through all bytes 1:1
- Tape: changed default zero-gap delay from the rather weird (and way too large)
  value 20000 to the more sane 2500 which MTAP uses
- RS232: handle RI line in IP232 (requires updated tcpser, see
  ​https://github.com/go4retro/tcpser/pull/24.
  - Add option to invert the RI line. This should help to make some more obscure
    BBS programs work
- RS232: removed undocumented feature to use unix domain sockets when the first
  character of a rs232 device is a pipe character, and instead used pipes, like
  it will be done on windows too
- Drives: fixed 1571CR emulation
- Drives: allow up to 83 tracks for 3.5inch mechs
- Drives: fixed clock rollover in rotation code
- REU: fixed DMA access to C64 RAM at $00/$01
- Added PaperclipE, PaperclipSC, and Paperclip2 dongle support.
- Added woj userport joystick adapter emulation.
- provide fake sid hooks so hardsid can be used when fastsid is disabled
- Printer: new reworked emulation handles various CBM Printers: 2022, 4023, 8023,
  MPS801, MPS801, MPS803
- Printer: tweaked MPS page height, now allows print shop to print a greetings
  card on a single page.
- Printer: do not produce any output for non-printable codes
- Printer: when using the graphic output driver, only produce a new file when
  actually doing a formfeed.
- Build the list of available palette files at runtime, scan system path/dirs as
  needed. Also read extra info from the .vpl files. New palettes can now be just
  dropped into the data dir and they will appear in the UIs.
- allow color controls to be used with external palette and when no crt emulation
  is active.
- Added more realistic vicii color ram init code.
- CIA: shiftregister fixes
- CIA: fixed ICR timing/behaviour (This fixes the dd0dtest from the testbench)
- Support for ISA/PCI devices that were accessed via direct I/O was removed,
  since this would not work in any sane modern OS anymore. The affected devices
  are: parsid (windows), ssi2001 (all)
- Z80: OUT, OUTD, OUTI, OTIR, OTDR instruction fixes
- Fixed -initbreak reset so that the first instruction doesn't run

  indicates where the current hotkeys were loaded from (VICE-provided default
  hotkeys, configuration directory or custom location).
- Hotkeys Alt/Command+3-6 added to send formfeed to printers (3 = userport,
  4-6 = printer 4, 5 and plotter).

  adhere to $XDG_STATE_HOME (defaults to ~/.local/state/vice).


** macOS fixes
--------------

- fix scrolling in the monitor


** Windows fixes
----------------

- Add -no-direct-streams command line option on Windows. With -no-direct-streams

- reSID: fixed a Noise Init problem
- reSID: filter tweaks
- reSID: The 6581 saw+pulse waveform was wrong
- reSID: tweak shift register reset time for 6581
- reSID: 8580 Filter ringing fix
- reSID: 6581 filters: allow negative values for kVg-Vx

Das scheint aber auch eine ziemliche Baustelle zu sein. Bislang hatte mich nur die SID-Emulation von Sidplay/w V2.6 einigermaßen überzeugt. Ich höre mir aber bei Gelegenheit mal an, wie das jetzt bei VICE 3.8 klingt.

Geht halt nichts über den Original SID (steckt bei mir im Ultimate 64 Board). Das ist einfach ein analoger Synthesizer Chip. Jeder gebaute klingt leicht anders, selbst in der Revision.
