Amiga emu, since its not been noticed since beta 5 heres all the news since then:
beta 6
- added 4 channel and cloned stereo in 5.1 native mode. Workaround for non-working 4.0 modes on many sound cards. (5.1 center and lf channels are silent currently)
- 4ch/6ch mode swap channel, interpolation, filter (anti and sinc only) and stereo separation support added
- IDE CHS calculation fixed. Max heads is always 16 and max sectors is 63 for drives smaller than 8GB. (A600/A1200 crashed or gurued with large HDF images) >8G should also work, current "hardware" max limit is 128G (no LBA48 support) NOTE: CHS value is only imaginary value for compatibility purposes and it has nothing to do with real geometry, it can even change and HD still works fine. Internally it is always translated to LBA.
- added some ATA-3 bits to identify drive reply

beta 7
- hardfile reset routine randomly read non-existing memory (b4)
- IDE emulation froze if total read or write transfer was larger than current multimode sector amount
- added 2 scanline delay before IDE command complete-interrupt is sent. Could cause missed interrupts in compatible 68000-mode and also made emulation sluggish during large reads or writes.
- HRTMon IDE commands work now in A600 configuration.
- HD onscreen led write color fixed in IDE mode
- 4/6 channel modes should really work with Emu10K based cards.. (I can always hope..)
- USP and ISP registers are back in debugger
- brightness/contrast/gamma setting added to display panel (not working in real time yet. And I guess I lied, it works in AGA too..)
- "IDE Splitter" / "4-Way IDE" hardware emulation added. IDEFix or similar driver needed. Enabled if IDE3/IDE4 selected
- much faster IDE in JIT modes

beta 8
- very long CDTV CD reads don't freeze anymore (stupid overflow in CD speed varible)
- added "PAL" filter. It is based on Vice C64 PAL filter with some changes like scanlines in 1x-mode and noise. Simulates blurry composite/RF signal. 32bit color depth only. NOTE: filter + AGA enabled = RGB 6:6:6 internal color space only. (compromise between speed+memory usage and image quality)
- command line parameter was skipped if previous parameter was win32-specific or it needed numeric parameter(s). (b7)
- IDE partition (non-RDB) hardfile support (no custom filesystem supported yet) NOTE: virtual RDB is read-only, all write attempts to RDB area are silently ignored, no errors returned.
- non-3D filter improved default centering
- replaced GUI scanline sliders with more flexible extra parameters settings. Added built-in filter preset support (single PAL filter example currently)
