[ATARI] ST/Falcon:Hatari 1.6.2

 Version 1.6.2 (2012-06-24):

Emulation:

• ST video changes :
• Fixes a rare potential crash when running in color mode and switching  to monochrome mode for more than one VBL (eg: protection code used  in The European Demos and The Transbeauce II Demo)
• add more timings for the 224 bytes overscan detection on STE
• Correct write timing for BCHG/BCLR/BSET when removing borders
• Fix to top/bottom border removal in a rare case

IKBD/ACIA changes :

• Handle commands 0x12 and 0x14 sent during the IKBD reset  (enable both mouse and joystick reporting at the same time)
• Handle the TX IRQ in the ACIA (bits CR6+CR5=0x01)
• Implemented IKBD set-clock function

Sound changes :

• Improve YM2149 sound filtering to be closer to a real STF
• Increase output volume for STE DMA sound (compared to the YM2149's volume)

DSP changes :

• Fix to DSP stack overflow handling
• Fix DSP to be reset on emulation reset

Old UAE core specific changes :

• Changes in the prefetch code for some instructions
• Correct PC in stack when JMP generates an illegal address exception

WinUAE core specific changes :

• 68040 MMU emulation fixes
• Fix GEMDOS/VDI emulation (illegal opcode) handling
• Fix WinUAE core to work with ST emulation (boot TOS 1.x)
• Fix FPU to be enabled when switching to TT emulation
• Fixes to FPU register value conversion

Falcon changes :

• Support for Falcon/Videl screen borders
• Fixes to few Falcon IO registers
• Changed behavior of the Microwire registers in Falcon mode

Misc changes :

• Ignore FDC commands when no drive is selected
• Fix TT SCSI register reads to return all bits zero instead of set
• Fix for GEMDOS HD emu to direct special CON:/AUX:/PRN: device files to TOS instead of trying to handle them as normal files  printer output is single, not double buffered

Emulator:

• RS232 input&output and printer output can be disabled from command line by specifying an empty path
• Fix loading of memory snapshot from SDL GUI not to leave host cursor enabled

Video changes:

• Increase max allowed VDI resolution from 1280x960 to 1920x1200
• Revert preferred Videl resolution max zooming size setting from host desktop resolution back to 832x576 it was in Hatari v1.4, so that Falcon/TT emulation window sizes by default are closer to ST/STE ones on larger resolution monitors
• Fix statusbar assert
• Add --sound-sync option to keep video synchronized with the audio in case the OS audio's driver has some latency issues

WinUAE core specific changes:

• Default to Falcon with WinUAE core (old CPU core still defaults to ST)
•  Support run-time changing of CPU level, FPU type and machine type from the GUI (also) with WinUAE CPU core

Debugging improvements:

• Fix to debugger CPU cycle profiling modifying CPU state 
• Profiling info is shown at end of disassembly lines
• Support for tracing all symbols loaded to the debugger, this can be used to get function traces for both CPU and DSP
•  Show args for all Bios and most XBios & Gemdos calls when tracing
• "info" command can output opcode tables for BIOS & XBIOS too
• More info to FDC, IKBD, Videl and Crossbar traces

Other changes:

• Hatari OSX UI updated for Hatari v1.6.1 changes
• Hatari Python UI supports file paths with spaces in them and spaces in Hatari options given through its control socket can be quoted with ''.
• Support for alpha-numeric characters in Hconsole "text" command
• Fixes to Hatari UI and hconsole error handling and examples
• Fixed hatari-local-midi-ring.sh & hatari-local-rs232.sh arg handling zip2st removes intermediate directories from created floppy
• Fixed hmsa to handle files with multiple "." characters in their names
• TOS tester testing covers more GEMDOS functionality, works with  all Hatari supported TOS versions and HW configurations and it's   fully automated

Fixed Games :

•   Hammerfist (fire button),
•   Automation 168 - Operation Clean Streets (prefetch in the CPU emulation)
•   Impossible Mission II (some versions had the same prefetch issue in the CPU)
•   Hades Nebula (fire button)
•   Zombi (IKBD set-clock was missing)

Fixed demos :

•   Built-in Obsolescence (DSP stack overflow)
•   Japtro and Rising Force by Holocaust (FDC, buggy loader)
•   Delirious Demos IV (video, STE detection)
•   Antiques by Dune/Sector One (224 bytes STE overscan)
•   The Wave Of the Future by ICE (STE flickering top border)
•   Electrocution I by Sphere on Stax Menu 66 (STE flickering bottom border)
•   Musical Wonders 1990 by Offbeat (video, bottom border not removed)
