Amiga emulator: Amiberry 5.6.5
Amiberry is an Amiga emulator for ARM-based single-chip systems like the Raspberry Pi, the Odroid XU4 or the Tinkerboard from ASUS, which brings some newly developed features like a "WHDLoad-Booter" or support for controller configuration using RetroArch. For example it is used in the Workbench distribution AmiKit for the Raspberry Pi 4/400. This new version of Amiberry provides many new functions, especially in the area of I/O ports. MIDI devices are now supported with the help of the portmidi library. This library is now required.
In addition, MIDI emulation in the form of MT-32 (using the munt library) is now also available. The library is included in Amiberry, but the required MT-32 ROMs are not.
In addition, support for the serial interface has been improved and support for the parallel interface has been added (initially only with VPAR), AHI playback has been corrected and much more. The changes in detail:
Bugfixes
- Fixed AHI playback, which wasn't working 100% until now
- Fixed incorrect A600HD ROM identifier, in WHDBooter
- Validate config after command line parsing.
- Fix FABS(-0)
- Do not close audio streams when audio settings change
- Fix AUDPER=1 unreliable interrupts
- Clear also blitter_cycle_exact when switching to JIT mode
- remove duplicate parsing of amiberry options
- Quickstart options and floppy drives
- Added missing memory bank deallocations.
- Fix 800% disk mode crash.
- Fixed crash when opening MIDI device
- Sync macOS icon with Linux one
- GUI would not update on all events in some places
- OpenGL option would fail on vkbd
Improvements
- Implemented physical MIDI and MIDI emulation (MT-32) support
- Improved serial port support
- Implemented support for virtual Parallel ports
- Implemented support for AMAX
- Implemented support for Arcadia platforms
- Implemented support for Casablanca platforms
- Keep a backup of config files when overwriting
- Scan for ROMs recursively
- The GUI colors and font are now configurable
- New command line option, -v or --version
- Added DBUS support, to control Amiberry from other applications
- Initialize Savestates on startup
- Do not check mousehack state if emulation is going to exit
- added P96 ModeChanged checks
- Do not detect monitor as changed if monitor is not attached to any graphics board.
- Do delayed insert also if disk was ejected first and then immediately new disk is inserted.
- Skip also CD32 fast CPU ROM patch if ROM is smaller than 512k
- bring sound/audio closer to preview status
- memory Chipmem noise implemented
- Improved newcpu handling of separate thread
