WinUAE is a desinged for Windows program, which emulates the hardware of the Commodore Amiga range of computers. It emulates most of its functions: Original Chip Set (OCS), Enhanced Chip Set (ECS) and Advanced Graphics Architecture (AGA), Motorola 68000/010/020/040 CPU, optionally a 68881 FPU, 2 MB Chip RAM and 8 MB Fast RAM, or 8 MB Chip RAM without Fast RAM. 64 MB Zorro III Fast RAM, independent of Chip RAM setting (68020+ only). 1 MB Slow RAM, for compatibility, Picasso 96 graphics with 8 MB of memory, Serial port, and Simple parallel port is only sufficient for printing. Networking via bsdsocket.library. WinUAE has reasonable compatibility for most software but, just like a "real" Amiga, for some old games it requires careful configuration in order to match the originally-supported hardware.
Here's changelog for latest version:
New features:
- Full A4000T and A4091 NCR53C710 SCSI emulation.
- A590/A2091 and A4091 boot ROM GUI selection.
- Separate graphics filter settings for native and RTG modes.
- 256k ROM image inserted in floppy drive emulates A1000 KICK disk.

can be added by editing configuration file)
- Input panel previously toggle-only events can be optionally set to on
and off state, audio/video recording input event added.
- Joystick/joypad can be used to control light pen cursor.
Updates:
- Remaining 68000 cycle-exact mode timing fixes.
- 68000 reading from write-only or non-existing custom register
compatibility improved.
- Big chipset edge case compatibility update, for example demos with
vertical "copper" bars work perfectly, real hardware glitches in
horizontal scaling are now accurately emulated and much more.
- 68040/68060 without emulating unimplemented FPU instructions is now
fully compatible with Motorola FPU emulation library, FSAVE special
FPU exception stack frames implemented.
- Programmed modes (Super72 etc) now automatically select best fit horizontal
resolution and is more compatible with different filter modes, also display
positioning is improved.
- Recently dumped Arcadia arcade system ROM images supported.
- Debugger full FPU and 68020+ bitfield, and other previously missing
68020+ only instructions supported in disassembler.
- Magic mouse + mousehack mode now always stops keyboard input when mouse
is outside of emulation window, even if window still has focus.
Bug fixes:
- Keyboard led indicator state syncronization problems fixed.
- Fixed very rare JIT FPU bug introduced in 1.2.
- Vertical centering works again, improved horizontal centering.
- Full tablet emulation boot guru fixed.
- Graphics glitches in some borderblank and border sprite modes.

Beta 4
added new autofire option. Button released = autofire. Button pressed = normal non-autofire firebutton.
231b13 reset fix fixed again (A1000 and Arcadia emulation crash)
automatic resolution switch interlace detection was unreliable
show a message and refuse real harddrive write attempts to block zero (=RDB write attempt) if drive has one or more mounted PC partitions. Partitioning is going to fail even if write appears to succeed.
screen mode change (fullscreenwindowed or windowed mode window size change) released all currently pressed keys, it should only happen when WinUAE loses focus, not when switching modes
window title bar mouse text shortened, F12 note added
stop the cpu and wait until blitter has finished if any blitter register is accessed while blitter is busy and cpu mode is fastest possible
Agat Emulator an Apple ][ and Agat 7/9 (soviet clones of apple) emulator for Windows has been updated. Thanks to Emu-France for the news.
Quote:
Changes in the version 1.19
===========================
Version 1.19 contains implementation of CMS SCSI card.
This SCSI card was compatible with all models of Apple II.
SCSI emulation module allows to connect up to 3 virtual hard drives with specified SCSI bus ids.
Each drive with size larger than 32MB (maximum ProDOS size) will be divided to several logical partitions.
Only two of logical devices will be available to use from ProDOS.
To specify which partitions will be available to ProDOS, press left Alt key during system startup as it was with original CMS card.
This release contains example of 64MB SCSI disk with all ProDOS, Basic and hardware utilities for CMS card.
Second logical partition of this disk was formatted as empty ProDOS volume /PART2.
To create your own SCSI disk image, just specify non-existing file name in controller configuration interface, format you new device by CMS.SYSTEM utility (low-level format) and create new ProDOS volume by FILER utility.
The commercial Amiga emulator Amiga Forever is now available in a new version.

The next beta series has just started and the first beta version of the Amiga emulator WinUAE 2.3.2 is available for testing.
Quote:
Beta 1:
- added built-in AROS KS ROM (alpha development build), used by default if no ROM files available, not very useful at this point but more compatible than very basic UAE KS replacement

- DSKLEN=0x8000 emulation timing improved (Codertrash / Mexx crash after fractal part)
- improved disk wordsync bit timing (El Egg Tronic Quarts / Quadlite)
- improved CIA emulation accuracy in cycle-exact modes (Risky Woods sound glitches)
- fixed random sample ripper crash (ancient bug)
- CDA sound volume configuration entry (sound_volume_cd), default = same as sound_volume value, no GUI yet
- on screen led bar position configuration. config file only, "osd_position=x:y" 0:0 = default, negative value = offset from top of screen, add % to make it percentage of display height (osd_position=0:95.0%), x-coordinate positioning not fully supported yet)
- restoring statefile with memwatch point didn´t automatically enable debugger memwatch subsystem
A new version of the Commodore emulator VICE available for many operating systems has been released. The current version emulates the C64, the C64DTV, the C64SC, the C128, the VIC20, almost all PET models, the PLUS4 and the CBM-II (aka C610).
The final version of the Amiga emulator WinUAE 2.3.1 has been released.
Quote:
WinUAE 2.3.1 released (26.02.2011)
New features:
Directory filesystem ACTION_LOCK_RECORD and ACTION_FREE_RECORD.
Gamepad joystick type for games that support 2nd fire button but can´t read it without pullup resistor. (for example Aladdin)
Manual filter configuration fully implemented.
Autoresolution supported (automatically selects lowest used resolution on the fly)
MIDI device names are stored in configuration file.
Updates:
Custom chipset undocumented feature compatibility updates. (For example Magic Demo / Diabolics, MoreNewStuffy by PlasmaForce, Kefrens Party Intro by Wiz)
M68K AROS compatible IDE and RTG emulation.
Statefile compatiblity updates. (Initial audio glitches, mouse counters updated correctly, CPU exact mid-instruction state saved, active disk DMA state saved)
New filter defaults, 1x (not FS) and always scale if selected screen/window size is very small or large enough.
Auto resize and center filter modes 1x/2x.. modifiers now adjust window size.
Attempt to load disk image and harddisk paths in state files from current directory, current adf/hardfile path and finally state file directory if original path or file is missing.
- fixed RESET instruction compatibility problem introduced in previous betas, broke action replay roms.
- BPLCON4 BPLAMx color changes were ignored in far right border (location where actual hpos is 0-7 or so)
Known bugs that won´t be fixed in 2.3.1 (too large changes to do in this beta series):
Codertrash / Mexx, crash after few parts. (Disk related)
El Egg Tronic Quarts / Quadlite, not loading. (Disk related)
Risky Woods, sound glitches. (CIA related)
Another beta version of the Amiga emulator WinUAE 2.3.1 is available for testing.
Quote:
Beta 12:
- emulate A3000 Fat Gary/RAMSEY configuration address space mirroring (no real world effect but I was testing m68k AROS ROM on my A3000 and noticed this mirroring)
- hrtmon 2.32->2.33 update
- hrtmon didn´t work in cycle-exact modes
- MIDI device names are also stored in configuration file (overrides old style id numbers)
- in auto resize and center filter modes 1x/2x.. modifiers change window size
- manual filter configuration size adjustments added, saved to config file
- RTG: do not refresh area outside of bitmap if bitmap is smaller than RTG screen resolution (AROS does this)
- some read write-only custom register changes, bset (and other similar instructions) don´t have previously read prefetch data appearing in data lines when reading (like most other instructions do), data is zero. This explains why buggy programs that for example bset #x,$dff096 don´t mess up register contents too much. (Fixes Kefrens Party Intro by Wiz, coder thought that bset #10,$dff096 is the right way to enable blitter nasty)
- sample ripper ignored most samples (broken when audio emulation was rewritten in 2.3)
- topmost scanline was usually not visible in autoscale modes
- weak bit copy protected ipfs broke in earlier betas (only if using latest dll)
