OK, so we're a little behind the times, about 6 months behind the times  .

Anyway, Toni Wilen has released a new beta version of WinUAE

The main discussion thread is over at EAB -> Here

Beta 20:

- Reduced Gayle based configuration CIA memory bank size to 4096 bytes, only accesses to bfdxxx and bfexxx goes to CIA chips if Gayle.
- Reverted b19 horizontal change, I forgot that it was made to fit max overscan modes better.. (Manually adding "gfx_horizontal_tweak=8" to config file can be used as a workaround, if needed for some reason)
- RTC update in b11 was not compatible with KS 1.x.
- improved RF5C01A RTC emulation, previously KS2.0+ detected stopped clock and attempted to reset it (which is no-op because emulated clock's time is currently read-only) and after reset it finally read the time.
- RTC year value is saved differently depending on OS version, Pre-2.0: RTC year value = current year - 1900, 2.0+: year value = last 2 digits. Both methods supported when reading. WinUAE now uses pre-2.0 method if MSM clock chip (because this is the only type that KS1.x supports), 2.0+ if RF clock chip, previously always used -1900 method.
- RTC 12/24h bit emulated, this is not used by AOS.
- RTC time/date, alarm and memory data save/load to file supported (alarm time/date, note that alarm interrupt pin is not connected in Amigas, and 104 bits of memory, used mainly for A3000 SCSI settings, included with RF clock chip type). Date/time ignored when loading.
- added win32.gui_active_page=name, sets default GUI panel after emulation has been started (Old win32.gui_page = before emulation starts)
- In some situations adv. chipset may have used incompatible data stored in config file even if compatible settings was ticked.
- Syncronize clock on the fly CIA TOD adjustment is now only active if heartbeat signal (b11) is detected.
- b11 heartbeat system was not fully disabled when UAE boot rom was unavailable.
- On screen led HD/CD/NVRAM indicator is blank if device is not available (like floppies already did).

Beta 21:

- Use software volume also in WASAPI non-exclusive because WASAPI main volume control also affects waveOut used by CD audio. (XP + DS also seems to affect waveout.. CDA really should use some more modern sound API, later...)
- Floppy sound sample mixing volume fix, volume level got lower if more than one drive had enabled sounds.
- Virtual mouse driver option IECLASS_POINTERPOS inputevent ie_Qualifier apparently needs to include mouse button state bits or Magellan II's (AmiKit) menus won't stay open, possibly affects other programs too. (This is not documented in HRMs, hmm...). "Start menu" still won't work but it is application bug because it also won't work if mouse is moved using Amiga + cursor keys.
- CDFS crash fix when unsupported media (not unreadable but for example UDF-only DVD) was accessed.
- Check and ignore possible duplicated CDFS CD insert or eject Windows message.
- Compile time directory filesystem logging is now runtime option (-filesyslog and -filesyslog2)
- Borderblank still didn't work correctly in all situations. (Aladdin AGA)
- Fullscreen DirectDraw mode IDirectDrawSurface7_Flip "Was still drawing" fix. (I still have no idea what was I thinking of..)
- Added "waiting blits" special case, when blitter is started and blit would use all available cycles: start waiting for the blit immediately.
- Changing hardfile path does not anymore clear device name and filesystem text boxes.
- Fixed crash when loading statefile with JIT enabled (b6 "ROM protection" should be disabled temporarily when loading UAE boot rom data..)
- zlib updated to 1.2.7
- Built-in AROS ROM updated.

Beta 22:

- "Generic" Amiga model incorrectly enabled A3000 DMAC emulation which caused most programs that require UAE Boot ROM in normal 0xF00000 area to crash. (Old bug, b20 adv.chipset caused it to appear much more commonly)
- Disable ROM protection when switching JIT off on the fly.
- Dragging standard HDF to Hardfiles panel sets correct default geometry.
- Added logical cylinder value to HDF config data, default is zero = calculate from size of the HDF (same as previously)
- Added "physical" CHS values to HDF config data, can be used to override autogenerared IDE emulation CHS values. (append ",logical cyls,C/H/S" to hardfile2 config entry. No GUI support.)
- GUI resize button was permanently disabled after it was unticked once.
- log_disabled=1 in registry (DWORD) or ini disables winuaebootlog.txt.
- Check DPI value when selecting default GUI size.
- CD32 audio emulation update, Guardian CD32 (and possible some others) had muted audio since b1. Immediate reply to CD play command should not have "play active" bit set. It should be only set in later status packets.

Beta 23:

- CDFS: Joliet CDs didn't work and caused crashes. Directory listing worked but it was only possible to open non-existing files
- CDFS: ACTION_DISK_INFO never returned no disk status.
- Filesystem path selection and default RDB settings broke in b22.
- FPU FINTRZ didn't work correctly if input value was outside of signed 32-bit range. (Bug since the beginning?)

Beta 24:

- CDFS: ACTION_DISK_INFO no disk status really works now.
- Fixed "Windows mouse" sometimes hitting invisible barriers in windowed mode if window size changed and mouse was captured. (Quite old bug)
- blitter_cycle_exact=true and cpu_cycle_exact=false confused blitter emulation if BLTSIZE was written twice while DMA was disabled.
- CAS and CAS2 instruction fixes from Aranym (I guess these are practically never used on Amiga..)
- Ignore duplicate USB HID axis IDs. (I was lazy and only added duplicate button check previously..)
- USB HID D-Pad/POV axis may have caused ghost events.
- GamePorts panel Remap separated axis configuration support (for example up can be mapped to button and down can be normal down axis), and multiple input sources can be mapped to single input target. Selection cursor now wraps around to allow multiconfiguration.

Beta 25 RC1: (Final in end of November. Really.)

- Switching to interlaced mode and autoscale enabled: don't calculate new size until 2 frames have been drawn to prevent multiple display size changes.
- More accurate GUI resizing algorithm.
- Show also first few bytes of disk in harddrive selection GUI.
- Add real harddrive as IDE: calculate physical CHS values using H=16,S=63,C=total blocks/(H*S) formula to better match with real hardware. (ROM built-in IDE drivers use IDE identify device CHS values to calculate last accessible block of drive, LBA support was added in ROM updates)
- Action Replay 2 copper list detection code hang tweak.
- Prowizard AC1D update (Asle)

Beta 26 RC2: (1-2 weeks to go)

- RTG aspect ratio setting was loaded to wrong variable from config file (filter panel aspect ratio, not RTG)
- CD32 CD audio play delay timing fixed. (Was originally timed using bad Liberation CD image)
- RTG on screen leds was rendered twice in D3D mode (D3D sprite and software method).
- Audio 14bit to 16bit scaling introduced extra low level noise.
- Only enable AUDxPER limit hack (to reduce CPU usage with weird programs) if audio DMA is active. Manual AUDxDAT audio software may use higher periods.
- Fixed rare crash in input/gameports panel test/remap support.
- Added on screen leds per-led enable/disable config file support, for example show_leds_enabled/show_leds_enabled_rtg=power,df0,df1. In future versions order of led names are also supported and gaps in place of disabled leds will be gone.
- DPI GUI size compensation disappeared (b25).

Beta 27 RC3:

- Modulated volume value wasn't range checked, caused noise if volume word was not between 0 to 63. (Platou title music)
- Fixed SPTI mode CDFS crash.
- CDFS didn't correctly remove hidden trailing ;1's in some Joliet CD filenames.
- SPTI standard CD access: Use READ (10), not READ CD when requesting standard 2048 byte user sectors, not all BD/DVD drives support READ CD when reading DVDs.

Beta 28 RC4 (Final on 2-3 days unless something really bad happens)

- uaescsi.device SCSI sense data is now returned correctly (For example MakeCD shows error messages that make sense now)
- AHI channel swap also swaps AHI recording channels.
- BMP screenshots were corrupted.

WinUAE is almost as good the real thing these days, toni is a legend.
