Emulator: WinUAE 3.0.0 with PowerPC emulation
Version 3.0.0 of the well-known Amiga emulator WinUAE has been released. The main new feature is the PowerPC emulation of a PowerPC accelerator board which first was introduced in the beta versions.
New emulated hardware:
- PPC CPU emulation. CyberStorm PPC and Blizzard PPC boards emulated
using QEMU PPC core, on-board SCSI supported
- Other accelerator boards emulated (Blizzards, CyberStorms, Warp
Engine, TekMagic, A2630), including on-board SCSI if available
- More SCSI expansion boards emulated (Fastlane, Oktagon, Blizzard Kit IV)
- CD32 Full Motion Video cartridge emulation
- CDTV-CR emulation
- A590 XT hard drive emulation
New features:
- Show on screen message when disk or CD is inserted or ejected or input
device is autoswitched
- Added null serial port mode that connects two WinUAE instances running
on same PC
- Fastest possible CPU speed mode is now available with cycle-exact mode,
CPU is fastest possibly, only chip memory and chipset is cycle-exact
- Immediate blitter is available in cycle-exact modes
- 68040/060 with more compatible emulates instruction cache, MMU supported
- 68000/68010 + 32-bit address space is supported
- Optionally game controllers can be kept active when WinUAE does not have focus
- Implemented secondary Z2 RAM board, for example 6M Z2 RAM + 2M Z2 RTG board combination is now possible
- Added "history" menu to filesystem, hardfile and tape drive path selection
- Added CDTV/CDTV-CR/CD32 turbo CD read mode
- Multiple SCSI controllers can be active simultaneously
Updates:
- Programmed chipset display modes accuracy improved
- Uncompressed CHD harddrive image write support
- Implemented previously unavailable small Z2 RAM board sizes (64k to 512k)
- Z3 board emulation supports official autoconfig space, required when using PPC-only operating systems
- 68000 cycle exact mode updates
- Improved cycle counting in 68000 more compatible mode
Bugs fixed:
- 68060 with "Unimplemented CPU emu" checkbox ticked: 68060 only unimplemented instructions were not emulated normally
- Screenshot with D3D shader filter enabled always took filtered screenshot
- SCSI CD READ CD command only worked if audio track was first track of CD
- Hard reset didn't reset map rom loaded KS ROM data
- AGA sprites in borders were clipped incorrectly in some situations (2.8.0)
- Autofire always on mode crashed

ACube Systems: L2 cache utility for Sam460/AmigaOne 500
One week ago already ACube Systems released a small utility that may increase performance on the Sam460/AmigaOne 500. The utility works on both, Sam460ex and Sam460cr boards.
To avoid incoherency between L2 cache and main memory, on Sam460 CPU the AmigaOS 4.1 kernel disables L2 cache write by default. On your own risk you can activate L2 cache write now, but it is suggested to do so only in advance of performance-intensive tasks like watching videos. Afterwards, L2 cache write should be switched off again.
Please be aware that activating L2 cache write may cause system instability and/or data corruption. On the other hand, once L2 cache write is enabled, Ragemem will report around 35% speed increase in the L2 WRITE32/WRITE64 tests, and some applications may see improved performance too (for example 3-5% speed increase in MPlayer with some videos).
