Short: AtariST emulator Author: Hatari team Uploader: mmartinka volny cz (Miloslav Martinka) Type: misc/emu Version: 1.5.0 Architecture: i386-aros Hatari is compiled with new the SDL library. And is compiled with the new cpu options. Tip: If you have a keyboard without the key Alt Gr, you can set the individual keys for menu in hatari.cfg. hatari.cfg [ShortcutsWithoutModifiers] keyOptions = 278 -- HOME key keyFullScreen = 287 -- END key keyMouseMode = 0 keyColdReset = 0 keyWarmReset = 0 .... etc. --------------------------------------------------------------- In this version still doesn't work key F11 and F12. --------------------------------------------------------------- Compiling for AROS, Miloslav Martinka. --------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.5.0 (2011-07-19): ------------------- Emulation: - Alternative CPU core based on WinUAE for more accurate future HW interaction emulation (see readme.txt on how to enable it) - Use precise clocks values (as described in Atari's official schematics) for better video/dma audio synchronisation (e.g. More Or Less Zero by DHS) - DSP: - Some DSP-timing sensitive Falcon demos that by luck happened to work with Hatari v1.4, don't work anymore in v1.5 with the default UAE CPU core. This is because while DSP cycle accuracy has been improved, the default UAE CPU core isn't fully cycle accurate. The experimental WinUAE core is needed to run them - Undocumented 2 bit shift special case for DSP SSI <-> crossbar exchanges in hanshake mode with 32 Mhz clock (fixes DSP MP2 player used in many demos & programs, but that requires also using WinUAE core) - Sound improvements: - Major rewrite and accuracy improvements in STE DMA sound, including emulation of the 8 bytes FIFO, giving results nearly identical to a real STE (e.g. HexTracker by Paulo Simoes) - Improved precision in sound emulation, with nearly no rounding errors over successive VBL (correct sound latency on US TOS running at 60 Hz) - By default mix 3 YM voices using a lookup table of values measured on real STF to improve digisound (e.g. Flashback demo sound) - Remove old ST Sound's code used for tone and noise step compute (some low period values were not correctly emulated) - Video emulation on STF/STE: - On STE, correctly shift display 8 pixels to the left when using 224 bytes overscan - Add support for spec512 mode in med res (fixes 'Best Part Of The Creation' in 'Punish Your Machine', 'HighRes Mode' demo by Paradox) - Correctly shift the screen 4 pixels to the left when left border is removed in med res overscan (Hatari 1.4 handled only low res, fixes 'No Cooper' by 1984, 'Best Part Of The Creation' by Delta Force) - Precisely emulate the number of frames per sec (eg 50.053 fps in PAL instead of the usual 50 Hz) Emulator: - Atari program given as argument to Hatari will be automatically started after TOS boots. GEMDOS hard disk directory can now be give also as an argument, not just as a (-d) option - TOS4 or --machine falcon option use enables DSP emulation now (follow them with --dsp none to disable DSP emulation) - Memory state saving and restoring fixes, especially for Falcon - Crossbar state is included -> state file ABI break - AVI recording options can be set in the new [Video] config file section - AVI recording supports non integer frame rates. - Falcon/TT Videl/hostscreen improvements: - New setting/option for using Desktop resolution & scaling in fullscreen instead of changing the resolution. On by default - User's desktop size is used as max limit for Videl zooming. Requires SDL >= 1.2.10 - Videl resolution change is done immediately, not 3 VBLs late - Fix issues in switching between same sized VDI & TT resolutions - SDL GUI improvements: - DSP can be disabled from the GUI without needing to restart Hatari - Disk access LED and desktop-resolution options - AVI video length (mins:secs) is shown in titlebar during recording - Option for cropping statusbar from videos & screenshots - Fileselector scrollbar can be used with mouse - YM mixing method selection - Debugging improvements: - New disassembler with more Motorola like syntax - CPU & DSP "disasm" and "memdump" commands accept register & symbol names in addition to numeric addresses / address ranges - Option to disable Falcon mic ("--mic off" is needed for Mudflap debugging) - "--run-vbls" can be set also at run-time - "--bios-intercept" can be toggled from debugger (not just enabled) - BIOS CON: output is converted to ASCII and redirected to host console with the --bios-intercept option - Support for tracing DSP, Videl and Crossbar - Support for tracing AES calls. VDI calls can now be traced also without using an extended VDI resolution - BIOS/XBIOS/GEMDOS/VDI/AES/Line-A/Line-F opcode breakpoint support - TEXT, DATA and BSS variables for addresses of corresponding segments in currently loaded program - "aes", "vdi" and "gemdos" subcommands for "info". Without arguments they will output information about corresponding OS part state, with (a non-zero) argument, opcode/call name table is shown. "video" subcommand for showing video related information. "cookiejar" subcommand for showing cookiejar contents. - "file" subcommand to "lock" that executes debugger commands from given file when debugger is entered (or ":lock" breakpoint is hit) - ":lock" option to breakpoints that will show (without stopping the emulation) the same output as what's shown on entering the debugger - ":file" option to breakpoints that executes the commands from given file when the breakpoint is hit. This can be used to chain debugger actions - multiple breakpoints options can be specified per breakpoint - parenthesis in "evaluate" command are used to indicate memory accesses (instead of operator precedence like earlier) - DSP and CPU code profiling functionality. Provides statistics about profiled code (executed code address ranges, max and total counts and cycles), lists addresses/instructions taking most cyles and if symbols are loaded, what were the most used symbol addresses. - Profiling information is also shown in disassembly output Other changes: - hmsa tool can create empty disk images in addition to converting disks between ST & MSA formats - Minimal hatari-tos-register.sh Linux init script (example) to register Hatari as binfmt_misc handler/runner for TOS programs - hatari-console.py renamed to hconsole.py, documented and made extensible (hconsole is command line Python interface for Hatari remote API) - Support for plain Makefiles removed (except for internal tests), only CMake is used for configuring and building Hatari - CMake doesn't require anymore working C++, C-compiler is enough Uploaded using: archives.aros-exec.org
