What's New:
- Support for 2 mice
- Can assign any mouse/joystick to either L/R analog stick
- Settings are now saved when you launch real CDs
- Will switch to PAL50/PAL60 mode for PAL users depending on if you have
selected PAL50/PAL60 from the Game Configuration menu. No effect for NTSC
users.
- Upload/Download configurations to/from xport.xbox-scene.com via GUI
==============================
Upload/Download Configurations
==============================
This is a new GUI feature that allows you to share your configuration files with
the rest of the world.
At the time of this version, there are only a few configuration files available
on the website. Once you have a game tweaked and working well, please take a few
moments to upload the configuration. This is as simple as selecting the "Upload"
option on the Game Configuration menu. Downloading a configuration can be
accomplished in very much the same manner by selecting the "Download" option.
When uploading a configuration please use a name that is as descriptive as possible.
For example, if the version you are using is AGA, please note it. If the version
you are using is cracked by a specific group, please note that as well.

A minor problem though. When I try change software filter by pressing right thumb -> video settings -> software filter (or whatever it is =)) and then press B a few times to return to the game, I still have the settings menu on my screen. I can control the game, but there is no video. When changing back to no filter it runs fine again. Something similar happends in dosxbox, although not exactly the same. I don't see the settings menu, but the screen gets all messed up. I admit that I have a very few games to test though (giana sisters on winuaex and skyroads on dosxbox to be exakt =)).
I tried changing the filters in pcsxbox too, but I didn't have any trouble there (only tried raiden project and SOTN though).
Post by: kimota2004 on November 02, 2004, 10:27:00 AM
I believe the problem you're having there with the software filters not working is because they don't exist. XPort had to remove them due to the memory restrictions I think.

Then I got to MAMEoX. Whoa. Holy Cow. Nearly the entire history of gaming at my fingertips -- like being able to play with all the exhibits at the Smithsonian Institution. Then I got to NeoGenesis. More of the same. Hard to believe the artistry that went in to creating these packages. I'm just guessing WinUAEX is gonna be the same and it'll be really nice for me. I can't wait to see the Amiga games from Psygnosis that I haven't seen in 10 years.
I was an officer in the USAF in 1990 when I got my first personal computer. It was the era of 386s (just prior to the introducition of the 486) and I had something most people had never heard of: An Amiga 3000. It came with a 32-bit operating system, pre-emptive mulitasking, plug and play (MS hadn't coined that term yet though), and an on board bus-mastering SCSI controller. It had a logical, fast GUI with a quick and powerful command line interface and a version of REXX for inter-process communication. My collection of goodies included paint, 3-D modeling, image capture, animation overlaying live video, and music composition software ... at home ... on a lieutenant's pay. This was not something you could do in the i386 world at the time.
Then I'd get up in the morning and go to work. Windows 3.1. I think brain-dead is the right word. Unfortunately, the engineers that created the Amiga hardware and OS (Google for Jay Miner, the Amiga's inventor if you're interested), had been acquired by a brain-dead company. Commodore Business Machines, in decline from their Commodore 64 and 128 days, was at the mercy of two money-grubbing suits (I think their names were Irving Gould and Mehdi Ali), totally lacking tech-savy, who put all their effort into building crappy Wintel machines that drove the company to bankruptcy. They hauled cash out of the company at a rate far exceeding that of Apple's top execs (who ran a much bigger company) putting almost nothing into advertising for the Amiga.
Enough rambling. My point is this. I can't believe everyone doesn't have a modded Xbox. I guess it's a good thing because there might be a much stronger attempt to prevent people running unsigned code if more people knew about its capabilities. It's the nature of digital technology to give us the entire history of gaming on one box and it's a new thing. Humans often have a hard time with change. Be ready for further assaults on your freedom to run code of your choice on machines of your choice in the coming years. The cure for 1984 is 1776. I wish I made that up but I saw it on Slashdot. Thanks again for WinUAEX.

I'm using roms that are on DVD(pretty much every amiga game split between about 4-5 DVDs)anyway they are in folders (e.g A,B,C...you get the idea).The actual emulator is on the Xbox.Well about half of the games are fine and run perfectly but some just dont run and just come up the startup screen(hand with disk or disk inserting), I have tried running these from my comp using uaex and fellow and they run fine.Its whole letters like all the N's (gutted I cant play newzealand story
).So any ideas what I can do to fix this? Can you tell me where WinUAEX files go so I can wipe them ALL and start again?
Cheers

edit: Also note that some characters (eg. , # + [] ) arn't compatible with the xbox's file system so if any of your games have these in their titles they wont run. That it definetly the case for running games of the hardrive, im unsure what the situation is with playing games from DVD, but I assume it's the same.

It can only store a certain amount of games in a folder 2500 or something, so the only way would be to limit the amont of games per folder.

the flicker filter level changes when switching between pal50 and pal60
if you look closely level 1 on flicker filter on pal50 equals about level 2 on pal60
level 0 is too much on pal50, but just right on pal60
i like to have my setting on level 1 in pal50, but when running in pal60 its not quite enough and i have to keep switching to level 0
it's probably common on other emulators, but they generally run in 60hz all the time, so doesnt matter
winuae most games are best in 50hz but some games are better in 60hz, so thats where the issue comes in
this would be great if it could be addressed

Still no news about CAPS support for XBOX ?
It seems It'll be very helpfully to have It and It seems that the new promising amiga emulator for Dreamcast (UAE4all) maybe will have it !

I realize a lot of these configurations are identical aside form the kickstart rom, And I know right now there is a very nice option to upload/download configuration files, however if these configs were to be implemented, i'd be willing to go through the 2,000 or so games on back to the roots and make a database of the recommended configuration for a specific game. Then when you put a game in, it will look at that list and load the appropriate config file for you.

I am having problems with USB mouse in WinUAEX. I have tried various configurations and gameports and it refuses to work. LAnalog and RAnalog works but not USB.
The mouse is working fine in UAEX and Linux but not in WinUAEX.
Could I have overlooked something or is it something else?
Oh, yeah, the mouse is a Logitech MX300.

Also about the black screen with no sound mentionned above, it happened to me with my workbench 1.3 image : turned out for some reason the screen was shrunk and had to be displayed very large. Just wiggle around a lot in the set screen size/position setting and you should be back to normal. Since screen settings are saved for each disk image, you might as well just trash all your config files and redo them
Post by: ScHlAuChi on January 20, 2005, 10:16:00 PM
I still hope that we more serious Amiga users get BSDsocket.library support one day
(for all the people who dont know what that is - its basically support of getting online with the emulator under Amiga OS, so you can use IRC, FTP-Servers ect etc...)

that can happen if video filtering is on simple2x or one of the other ones, check that the video filters are off

Can also add that they work very well in other emulators and linux, not in WinUAEx though.
Im going to try and test the previous version of the emu to see if that fixes it for me too... but my question is, is this something that is going to get fixed? A lot of games needs mice on the Amiga to really work... some of my favorites such as "Hired Guns", even needs two (two players) to get the full enjoyment.
Thanks for a great emulator, hope this issue can be resolved.

Q: What about 4 joystick support?
A: To my knowledge, WinUAE (and Amigas in general) only had 2 joystick ports. If you are referring to support for all 4 XBox joypad ports, then that functionality already exists.

The amiga could have had up to 4 Joysticks.
There is an amiga parallel port adapter for 2 additional joystick ports. Games like Dyna Blaster support them. WinUAE supports it as well.
You can use this adapter even on pc for two amiga/c64 joysticks.

I am wanting to move my SWOS save to another Amiga emulator (mainly PSP UAE) but I can not get WINUAEX to save onto my virtual blank diak, I get a DISK ERROR every time.
I can't find any controls to set the disk drive to WRITE PROTECT ON/OFF. Could this be the issue?
Are the save states in WINUAEX compatible with ant other version of UAE? If so I could get one of those to open my save state and then save the game.
Thanks
Post by: vannillabear on August 27, 2005, 07:21:00 AM
thanks for the great port of one of my favourite systems!
quick question though, i've changed the settings in winuaex so that all the paths point to its own folder (screenshots, saves, roms etc) keeping it neat and tidy, problem is that although the saves path is set for within its folder it still creates the winuaex.ini file within a saves folder in the root of the drive.
if i move or delete this i obviously loose the settings, so id rather keep it
what i'm trying to find out is, can i alter a config file or something similar so that winuaex looks in a different folder for this file on launch (like how some emulators need the cfg files edited to point them to the right rom path etc)? allowing me to copy the settings within its directory and point to that, and in turn stopping it creating loads of unneeded folders in the root of my drive.hope that makes sense
thanks in advance.
ps. i searched and searched and couldnt come up with anything, if theres a post already out their i'd appreciate a point in the right direction. thanks.
Post by: vannillabear on August 27, 2005, 09:02:00 AM
any ideas?
ps. after testing it with other emulators (that i think are xport projects), they seem to do the same thing. i can stop them creating the other folders (screenshots etc) but not the saves...it always wants to make that in the root

after much searching and trying many different search arguments I found posts explaining that all the xport projects do this..QUOTE
Q: Why can't I get rid of the E:\SAVES\<EMULATOR> directory and the *.INI files there?
A: Let's say that you want to save all of your INI files and save files, etc, to a
new directory called F:\FOO. How is the emulator supposed to know that you want
to save everything in F:\FOO? It has to read that directory from an INI file. Where is it
supposed to look for that INI file? There has to be a standard, static place
that the emulator can look for the INI file. You're probably thinking to yourself,
"Why not read it in the same directory that the XBE is located?" Well, what about the
people who want to burn the emulator to a disc and play it like that? Yes, you can
still read the INI file from the disc, but what about when they want to make configuration
changes? Where should those configuration changes be saved? It obviously cannot be
written back to the D drive since that is a disc and cannot be written to by the XBox.
This is why the emulators are saving the INI data to the standard directory of
E:\SAVES\EMULATORNAME.

If you set your resolution to 720x480 or 720x576 and use a custom screen size of 907x622 you're pretty close to the real thing. No scaling will occur and no need to use billinear filtering.
I found this screen setup with the help of Dpaint. Filled the screen with a dot pattern and looked for scaling artfefacts or moirés.
907x622 sounds a bit odd...but it seems to work just perfectly.

There's a nasty bug in the current WinUAEX regarding harddrives that's really annoying.
If I boot Workbench from a hdf file or any other bootable hdf for that matter WinUAEX still detect a disk in drive DF0 as DF0:??? even when no disk is inserted.
That's not supposed happen and it affects some WHD installs such as Jaguar XJ220 and Agony.
It's impossible to save progress in Jaguar and Agony refuses to save highscores.

There's a nasty bug in the current WinUAEX regarding harddrives that's really annoying.

Is it possible to insert a disk image into that drive and have the games work?

I already did try that but it didn't solve anything I'm afraid.
I found a way around this. Create some blank dd disks from the menu and make sure these are in the drives before you start the hdd. Only works for the first three drives though. Do not use the same image for multiple drives though. Must be a different image for each drive. This way you can boot into workbench and have access to 3 floppy drives.

When I boot a hdf file with no disk in df0, df1 etc. it still detects a corrupted disk in drive df0.
Some whd installs rely on 'redirected' disks in the hdf as savedisk and apparently WinUAEX gets confused and only see the disk in df0.

Great emu!
Just one thing... I seem to have a problem of both controllers controlling the same character on two player games like alienbreed2. So both joypads would move player one and doesnt do anything to player two, if I press the Y button, itll trigger something (like firing a gun) on player 2 but not 1 like the joypad. Weird!
Do I need to set something in the emu's settings?
Thanks
Post by: alexh on July 17, 2007, 08:13:00 AM
I am aware of the gap between the WinUAEX and WinUAE codebases (mainly because as the emulation has improved the CPU overhead has increased exponentially)
The border problems have been fixed for a long time and I am sure that Toni Willen would be willing to help point out the fixes you'd need to lift.

Trouble is, I've just bought a new TV, an HDTV. I've used the Enigma switcher to change to NTSC and now all my DVDs, XBMC and various emulators are running in 720p and I'm very happy with the results.
The only trouble is, most Amiga games were designed with PAL in mind. With my Xbox set to NTSC it means that 50Hz mode has now gone out of the window.
I've noticed in one of the posts in this thread that it says 908×624 looks absolutely fine in both 720x576 and 720 x 480.
I've never run an Amiga in NTSC for obvious reasons but how can 908x624 look ok on BOTH 576 and 480?
Surely games like project-x, which use a bucket load of overscan, will look compressed vertically?
Or will WinUAEX continue to output in PAL resolution (I know PAL itself doesn't define the resolution but you know what I mean) but at 60Hz?
I figure that games that had an load of empty black space at the top/bottom (to allow easy use/conversion on NTSC amigas) will now fill the whole screen?
I'm basically looking to get the best possible picture here with no tearing or 'shimmering' where certain areas of pixels are wider than the rest. I understand this will have to be 60Hz but I'm still not too sure as to what my options are regarding picture size/resolution.
Bear in mind I've not had the chance to actually test this out yet as my bridge has died so I can't ftp stuff across at the moment.

Post by: Cospefogo on November 08, 2008, 03:53:00 PM
One thing I did notice:
- I have a bunch of games in HDF files.
- These HDF were built by a friend with a unregistered version of WHDF (something like that.)
- Everytime I open a game, I get a HDF Workbench screen saying "this is unregistered blá blá blá".
- But the games works perfeclty fine! The only annoying thing is this long delay every time I open a game...
So I had one idea... I went from game to game making a save state right after all HDF stuff, loadings
and intros, and set the emulator to load the last save state automatically on entering a game. Worked perfectly!!!
But here comes the strange thing... When I enter a game with automatic last-save-state loading, the name
of the HDF disk in DF0 becames corrupted. Gibberish letters... But the game is still working fine!
This happens in the IN-GAME menu.
DISK 1: @IUEWOU)$#(*$#)SIDSO instead of the name of the game
I don't know if it is a bug or what...
Try it and see by yourself!
Cheers,
Cospefogo.

I will post a picture later (took with a camera) to
show exactly what happens.
Regards,

Post by: Cospefogo on November 10, 2008, 04:13:00 AM
This is how it happens.
Pick a HDF game and open it.
Watch the "workbench scrren thing" and all the loadings process.
When you finally reach the game main screen, do a SAVE STATE and exit the game.
Next, go to the emulator settings and turn ON the feature "Auto load most recent save state".
Enter on the very same game, and ta---dá, you will be right on the game screen, skipping all the boring loadings.
BUT - now press the ingame menu and check what is inserted in the disk drive 1 of the emulador.
Instead of being the "game name.hdf" you will have some broken text, some gibberish.
However it is important to note that this happens only when you use the AUTO LOAD.
If you enter in the game and load the STATE manually, no problem happen.
Also, there are bad results with this bug when you are playing a multi disk game.
I don't know if I was lucky or what, but with single disk games the bug does not affect
anything, since the disk is already loaded (I think).
But anyway - at any moment when the emulator gets the need to load anything from
the disk it will not work. At least the WinUAEX does not crash, it just presents no results
on the screen, and to correct, you just need re-insert the correct disk, removing the gibberish'ed ones.
I hope my description was useful for you guys, to correct this in the future.
Regards,
Cospefogo.
Post by: Cospefogo on November 10, 2008, 04:40:00 AM
But the strange thing is - doing the "load last saved state" manually we get absolutely no problems.

I have a strange issue that i believe is BIOS related. I cloned my 250GB HD to another 250GB HD from my V1.6 Xbox. Both Hard drives will now work perfectly loading the Winuaex, and games work fine on both Hard drives using the V1.6 Xbox.
When i take the HD (either of them) and plug it into my V1.0 Xbox (1mb Hynix flashed TSOP) Winuaex will load up the main menu but will display the loading screen when trying to load a game and then go to an almost black screen and freeze the Xbox.
My Question is.. Has anyone else had luck using a V1.0 Xbox using a flashed TSOP and if so what BIOS are you using. (Or is there something else wrong ?). THere are also issues using Coin OPs too that work fine on the V1.6 but some games will not work on the V1.0

Agerasia.. There is something wrong with the data on the download server that causes the configuration downloader to lock-up. I never tried running in debug mode to see what is tripping it up but since I do not have access to that box it aint gonna do much good.
Besides... The configurations on there are nothing but a jumbled mess of misnamed files anyways. I honestly would not trust them. There are probably way to many that are set-up incorrectly by people who do not necessarily understand the Amiga all that well.

As a lucky owner of an Amiga 500 and then A1200 at their time, I always knew the disk drive was slow.
Today, it amuses me to find the same conditions when using Winuaex. You can even hear the sound of the drive!
But what bothers me is that it is still too long. Floppy turbo mode is so buggy and the fast forward (right trigger) is odd on Winuaex.
Also, I always knew that the drive of the Atari ST was faster. Then I tried WinstonX and it was veeery fast. I believe they had added a turbo mode.
So my question is :
Can we make a faster loader in Winuaex and/or can we adapt the real time mode the windows version have ? You know, its shortcut is END+PAUSE.

any other number works just not 6 for some reason.
also when loading a hdf whdload version of slam tilt, I select a table and while its loading I press the throttle button to speed up loading, and usually when the table loads up the flippers are not there. if I don't throttle they apear ok. weird.
main problem is the fastmem one though. is this known about ?
guess I'll just have to stick to 8mb for whdload preload. but it does make the save states bigger though.
also another thing is when saving a screenshot, some dont work properly, ROTOR and ARTILLERUS 2 are examples, they only save a little portion of the bottom of the screen so when viewed in the screenshot area they are stretched to fit and look a mess.

Most of my WHDLoad games works with 2MB chip and 4MB of fast on Winuaex. I think it depends of the way you have set your HDF and the amount of memory your emulated workbench or cli environement need. My system setup (HD1) is minimal so most of the memory is actually used by the game (HD2).
I don't see why you have a problem when you assign 6mb of fast. Most amiga computers with roms 3.0/3.1 were made to support up to 8mb of fast mem and always had 2MB of chip. Perhaps that's because you assign too much chip.
And I remember slam tilt being a pain in the ass to configure and load. But it works. Let me know if you succeed otherwise i'll give you my setup.
I you want to reduce the size of your savestates then check in the readme file what exact amount of memoy the game needs on a real amiga: for instance amiga 500 based whdload games often requires 0.5MB of fast. So your config may be 2mb of chip and 0.5MB of fast.
What are your screen settings ?
