`16.Oct.2013` German Amiga Community (Webseite)	Amiga-Emulator: WinFellow 0.5.2 A new version of the Windows-based Amiga-emulator "WinFellow" has been released. The most important changes of this update: new display configuration options for setting scale factor (1x and 2x, retaining a proper aspect ratio), and scaling strategy (solid/scanline); inclusion of higher screen resolutions to allow use of 2x windowed modes support for 2x mode in Amiga Forever support for model presets to quickly get started setting up model specific configurations (a number of presets is already included) automatic interlace compensation (WinFellow will automatically detect interlaced graphics and perform interlace compensation; this can be disabled in various options, but is on by default for new configurations) lower system requirements (an SSE capable processor is no longer required) Windows 8.1 added to the supported operating systems Additionally the following bugs have been fixed: re-initialize the emulation session when a change of display adapter properties (color depth, different graphics adapter) is detected cancelling the configuration dialog no longer performs changes to the configuration support for sprites in hires dual playfield mode was fixed, making previously invisible objects visible on the screen sprite DMA was being disabled instead of waiting, causing invisible sprites PC -2 saved on the stack for address exception proper "short frame" when display is interlaced and frame is short fix copper list load failure to find valid screen mode for screens with unusual refresh rates (Microsoft VirtualPC, ...) fixes for several crashes to desktop caused by NULL pointer exceptions cancelling an undo dialog in Amiga Forever will no longer close the emulation session reset of Amiga Forever emulation session no longer causes input devices to no longer function fixed problem with Amiga Forever clipping calculations for left offsets <16 (would lead to only half the screen being visible) or one of the offset values = 0 (would ignore the offsets completely) (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 16.
