WinUAE 3.5.0 () released. New emulated hardware • Comspec SA-1000 • California Access Malibu • DKB RapidFire • M-Tec AT-500 Megabody New features • Softfloat FPU emulation mode. Bit perfect FPU emulation (except transcendental functions), including full arithmetic exception support.

(Co-operation with Previous emulator author) • Lightpen emulation absolute coordinate HID (USB light guns) and touch screen device support. • American Laser Games second player and Actionware dual light gun adapter emulation. • Real harddrive mount lock option. Enables full exclusive access even if drive has Windows mounted FAT partition(s). • winlaunch.lib is now built-in feature and is also 64-bit compatible. • Show [Paused] in windowed mode title bar when in pause mode. • If statefile is loaded with one or more floppy images that can’t be opened: keep fake disk in drive (like previously) and ask for new disk path when missing disk is accessed for the first time.

Custom chipset features emulated • AGA FMODE>0 unaligned bitplane and sprite pointer behavior implemented, resulting display corruption is now 100% accurate. • BPLCON4 XOR mask special case in HAM6/8 or EHB modes.

• Loading blitter B-DAT manually when B-shift was nonzero. • Lightpen hardware is now cycle-exactly emulated.

• Sprite special case when DMA mode sprite’s start X-coordinate is less than sprite’s DMA slot position. • Audio interrupts are delayed by 2 cycles. Feature improvements • 68020+ T0 trace mode is now fully emulated. • 68020 cycle exact mode adjustments. • Memory cycle exact mode mode accuracy improved • Implemented previously unimplemented bsdsocket.library emulation sendmsg() and recvmsg(). • Recursive mode ROM scanner now skips directories starting with dot.

• MMU emulation can be now switched on/off on the fly. • Release all currently pressed keys when emulation pauses. • Added memory cycle-exact Quickstart step for A1200 and CD32 configurations. Less CPU heavy than full cycle-exact and usually not much more worse (or better).

At least not until 68020 CE gets better. • Escape old style directory and hardfile paths if it contains “,”. • Masoboshi MasterCard fully implemented, including DMA support. Bug fixes • FM801 16-bit audio corruption. • A2090 ST-506 emulation. • Possible crash when display was very wide with bitplane DMA overrun condition.

• Manually configured but disabled (size zero) Z2/Z3 banks were added to system. • Apollo 1240/1260 memory address space fixed • PC bridgeboard NE2000 boot crash fix.

• Windowed mode mouse does not anymore hit hidden barriers if window is partially outside of desktop or uncaptured if window is on top of task bar. • If Custom autoconfig board order was enabled, expansion devices custom config setting(s) was not saved correctly. • 68000 address error stacked PC was not correct in some read-modify-write instructions • Untrap middle mouse button option was stuck. • GUI listview column width calculation used default font size, not selected font. • 68030 CE/prefetch mode cache access bug fixed. • G-REX and Cirrus Logic graphics board state was reset if RAM or HW Info GUI panels were opened after emulation was started.

DAPHNE: Arcade; LaserDisc - Dragon's Lair, Space Ace etc. 'Dragon's Lair, the fantasy Adventure where you control the actions of a valiant Knight on a quest to save the Princess from the clutches of an evil Dragon' To ANYBODY who frequented Arcades in the early 80s, that usually sends a Shiver Down the Spine! Although not actually the first LaserDisc Title, a Prototype Sega Astron Belt debued at an Arcade Trade Show first, or the most financially successful when 'Coin Drop' (the amount of money taken by the Cabinets) is included, that would be Gottlieb's M.A.C.H 3, being the first to market created a media storm. Looking unlike anything seen previously, with Disney Quality Animation* as it's Graphics instead of abstract bit-mapped pixels or vectors, it garnered additional mainstream interest in Video Games which was at already reaching its peak in 1983, prior to the 'Video Game Crash'. Such was its popularity to casual viewers, many Arcades added an additional Monitor on top of the Cabinet so others could watch active games being played. With a game dynamic now described as 'QTE' (Quick Time Events), such was it's impact that it is currently one of the Video Games, along with Pong and Pac-Man, displayed at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

* Not surprising as it was produced by ex Disney Animator and Director Don Bluth who's Studios who were later responsible for animated Films An American Tail, Anastasia and Titan A.E. (if you haven't seen Titan A.E I highly recommend checking it out, although a MASSIVE FLOP on release which caused the closure of Fox Animation Studio's it is now heralded as one of the best Animated Films EVER!).

Matt Oweby and his Team created the LaserDisc Emulator Daphne which runs Dragon's Lair as well as well as many other Titles. Building on the Source Code, user shmoopty has produced a Pi2/3 Fork daphne-pi which is now available or can be added to SD Card Image RetroPie (from the 'Experimental' section of the RetroPie Set-Up Menu). Source Code Download Link - RetroPie Set-Up Wiki - Dragon's Lair Attract Screen Link - 'Lead on adventurer, your quest awaits'. Scruss It wasn't the cost per play, most of the LaserDisc Titles were 50p/Credit (in the UK) as apposed to 10p due to the expense of the Cabinet's purchase price for Arcade owners, but there is an interesting technical reason M.A.C.H 3 was more profitable than Dragon's Lair. LaserDisc technology was notoriously brittle in an Arcade environment, they were never designed for the constant mechanical searching/movement of the Laser across the Disc required in Titles such as Dragon's Lair leading to faulty players* and continual 'Out of Order' cabinets. M.A.C.H 3's LaserDisc usage was more forgiving, Video was just streamed as a backdrop for foreground Bitmaps. This being the case it was more reliable, leading to increased availability of the Cab's, thus better returns for Arcade Operators.

* This exact same issue would affect the Mk1 SEGA/MEGA CD, which is why its fairly expensive for Retro Collectors to acquire due to the limited amount of working Units now available. Or the most financially successful You bet. This would be the first time I'd be playing it, as it was far too expensive when I was a teen.

What was it, something like ₤1 a game? I could have had 10 games of Joust, Sinistar or Moon Cresta for that kind of cash. But then, I was always more about the kind of fantasy Adventure where you control the actions of a valiant Dragon on the quest to save the Knight from the clutches of an evil Princess. I remember when it cost $1 here in the states.

I think I played it in the arcades once becuase it was so expensive and difficult. When it came out for SegaCD my friend and I rented it at Blockbuster on the weekend and attempted to play through. I'm glad we were at the other end of the house from my parents that night because the expletives were flying left and right. It was obvioulsy no match for the arcade version, but we didn't care.
