*** 19.0 (09.04.2024)
- fix: noncached io-operations are again supported to Slave's memory,
was broken in 18.9 and gave DOS error #63 (issue #6261)
- fix: AttnFlags are again correctly displayed in .whdl_register
- chg: WHDLoad options are now written to .whdl_dump and .whdl_trace
- chg: workaround added for the Slave Update Check via network, now
avoid local port 1024 because current ISP for cgi.whdload.net
is broken to accept HTTP requests from this port (issue #6002)
- new: if UAE is detected and MMU used by WHDLoad the memory at
$f0f000 is added to valid memory areas to allow to trigger
the WinUAE debugger (JOTD)
- new: new macro LOG in whdmacros.i to create entries in .whdl_log
(paraj)
- fix: options SavePath and NoWriteCache did not correctly work for
the first action where SavePath was created (ztronzo
issue #6398)
- new: option PreloadSmart added, preload only files accessed in
preceding runs
- chg: if ShowRegs/K is not specified and WHDLoad is started from
CLI/Shell it will dump directly into the terminal window now
*** 18.9 (01.05.2023)
- fix: fixed possible race condition when using XPK compressed files
and multiple data directories, if a compressed file with the
same name was contained in two consecutive data dirs and was
the last compressed in the first dir and the first compressed
one in the subsequent dir it was preloaded two times and the
second one got visible to the installed program, this has been
corrected now
- fix: the Slave structure flag EmulDivZero now also works on 68010,
in previous version it always faulted (missing support for
different stack frame format on the 68010)
- fix: DIC option SkipTrack was broken in version 1.2, now fixed with
version 1.3 (CFou!)
- new: new local option ExecuteArgs to supply arguments to the
scripts/programs called via the ExecuteCleanup/Startup/...
options, using this it becomes possible to control the
behavior of the scripts in single install without the need to
have many different Execute* scripts
- new: if started from Workbench WHDLoad now opens a window
CON:////WHDLoad .../AUTO/CLOSE/WAIT for the ExecuteCleanup and
ExecuteStartup scripts which opens if there is any output
- chg: option Cache/S can also be specified in the global
configuration file (Tomaz)
- new: the kick13 emulation now also supports the WHDCtrl resident
command which can be used to quit WHDLoad, because the boot
CLI under 1.3 does not run resident commands a patch has been
implemented to add this feature (Hexaae)
- fix: now resload_ListFiles is able to list the install root
directory also when listing from cached files, this was broken
since the introduction of the feature to list cached files in
release 18.7, which broke for example Gauntlet3 (issue #6077)
- fix: depending on the already used chip memory WHDLoad has
corrupted read/write data (all io related Resload functions),
if the file cache feature wasn't used (NoWriteCache or
NoFileCache set), this may have corrupted saved data! this bug
has been introduced in WHDLoad release 18.4, thanks to DJ Mike
for reporting/testing (issue #6078)
- chg: the options ExecutePostDisk and ExecutePreDisk are now working
as intended/documented, previously they were called only once
(issue #5880)
- fix: RawDIC has been updated to version 6.1 which fixes
compatibility with imager slaves which used DoubleInc and one
track too much in the tracklist (e.g. Beast)
- fix: made EmulChk working on 68010 (issue #6137)
*** 18.8 (28.05.2022)
- fix: new created files in sub directories which are cached are now
correctly reported via Examine (issue #5536)
- fix: when new created cached files are deleted WHDLoad no longer
tries to delete them on disk
- chg: the memory of detected freezers is now cachable if MMU is used
- new: the gadgets in the splash window can be controlled via
keyboard and joystick now, up/down selects the gadgets via
mouse move and left/right switches the gadgets
*** 18.7 (15.12.2021)
- new: if a kickstart is requested by the Slave (ws_kickname) and the
current default keymap is different from default Kickstart
keymap (usa/usa1) WHDLoad provides the current default keymap
as a virtual file called 'WHDLoad.keymap'
kickemu kick13.s and kick31.s got a new option called
SETKEYBOARD which loads and activates the 'WHDLoad.keymap'
- fix: avoid a possible crash if no kickstart image could be found
- chg: the check for a read-only filesystem to ignore write
operations now checks the first data directory instead the
current directory of WHDLoad
- new: sources/whdload/lowlevel.s has been added to be used with
kickemu, it is based on the OS3.1 lowlevel.library and provides
a way to avoid the disk based library and save some memory, the
kickemu option INIT_LOWLEVEL uses it now instead loading the
disk based library
- fix: corrected the key repeat fix in kick31.s
- chg: resload_ListFiles no longer requires a switch to the OS if
Preload was able to cache all files by using the file cache to
fill the buffer with filenames
- new: support for virtual filesystem plugins (VFS) added,
if one of the Data/K objects specified is not a directory but
a file WHDLoad will attempt to load PROGDIR:WHDLoad.VFS and
uses this interface to load data for such data objects, the
VFS-ABI/API is described in "include/whdvfs.i", a VFS
implementation which currently supports lha and zip-archives
can be obtained from http://github.com/temisu/WHDLoadArchiveFS
Thanks a lot to Teemu Suutari for his great work!
VFS objects are always read-only for WHDLoad, so either use
SavePath/K or a first data directory which isn't VFS to
allow WHDLoad to save something
- fix: cursor down in the CLI usage message is working again in the
standard AmigaShell (issue #5146)
- chg: DIC 1.2: if a track has a read error and option Skip is active
and the device is controlled by trackdisk.devices, DIC
switches to sector reads now to be able to read more good data
in case not all sectors on this track are unreadable
- chg: WHDLoad now returns with an error code = 5 if the Preload
operation has been canceled by pressing the Esc key while
the splash window is open (issue #5171)
- chg: a new option NoWriteInfo/N has been added as local and global
option, if set WHDLoad will not update/write any .info
files (issue #5153)
- chg: WHDLoad now resets custom.serper on exit to stop a possible
MIDI/MT32 playback via the serial line (JOTD)
- new: option WriteCache/S added to overwrite global option
NoWriteCache/S (issue #5263)
- new: WHDLoad is now able to cache also write operations to new
created files or existing files which grow in size. For that
the option PreLoad must be active and there must be enough
memory available to preload all files. WHDLoad will then
allocate the largest free memory block remaining and use this
memory to dynamically cache new files or growing existing
files. The cached files are written to disk on WHDLoad exit.
- new: kickemu kick31.asm can be enabled to activate an internal
resident command WHDCtrl which can be used to quit WHDLoad
- upd: the documentation for czech, dansk and french are in sync
again; thanks to all translators: Manel Beltrán, Bored Seal,
Bruno Skjold Andersen, Miguel Dilaj, Mikko Heinonen, Psygore,
Marius Danilewicz
*** 18.6 (22.09.2020)
- new: WHDLoad now disables interrupts of graphics cards under
the Picasso96 software. This should solve problems with
Spectrum cards and newer P96 releases (issue #2598). Thanks
to Thomas Richter for providing useful information.
- upd: Manual translations are in sync again for catalan and czech.
- new: Kickemu kick31.s can be instructed to load/init the custom
nonvolatile.s via option INIT_NONVOLATILE.
- fix: nonvolatile.s now correctly works on searching nonexistent
items in a existing nvram file
- chg: In kickemu kick13.s a waitblit has been added to avoid
problems with the gfx.Text patch (Psygore).
- chg: The provided source keyboard.s now uses cia timers instead the
raster beam for the keyboard acknowledge delay.
- fix: Access faults of size word to address -1 and of size long to
addresses -3..-1 are now reliable detected and reported.
In earlier releases: on 68030: when ExpMem was used these were
undetected, on 68040: when ExpMem was used and vector base was
not write protected (e.g. Freezer detected, Snoop*,
resload_Protect used) these were undetected, if vector base
was protected a fault inside WHDLoad was reported, on 68060:
these were always correctly reported
- chg: To reduce the likelihood that resload functions get
interrupted by other calls to resload functions, some resload
functions which usually take not much execution time, have
been changed to be not interruptible anymore.
The following resload functions have been changed that way:
Abort, SetCACR, FlushCache, Control, Protect#?, SetCPU,
GetCustom, VSNPrintF and Log.
In general the option NoResInt/S can be used to avoid problems
with interrupted resload calls at the cost of possible sound/
graphics distortions when interrupts are disabled for a longer
time.
- chg: The provided source sources/whdload/savegame.s is now fully
pc-relative. It contains also additional fixes for interrupt
acknowledge and AGA compatibility (JOTD/ross).
- chg: The inplace decruncher for the old RNC1 format has been
improved to support files which need a larger distance
(Heimdall/JOTD).
- chg: The kick31.s now prefers a A600 kickstart image if NO68020 is
set. It fails now if there is only a 68000/010 and a
A1200/A4000 kickstart image was loaded (JOTD).
- fix: When using kickfs.s the dos.library function
Open(MODE_READWRITE) now performs correctly on Kickstart 3.1
by creating a non-existent file. On Kickstart 1.3 the old
behavior remains to not create a file.
- chg: If a call to resload_Examine is attempted without the flag
WHDLF_Examine has been set in the Slave structure WHDLoad now
terminates with an appropriate error message (JOTD).
- chg: The kickemu kick12.s, kick13.s and kick31.s has been modified
to automatically set the Slave flag WHDLF_Examine if HDINIT is
set (JOTD).
- chg: When using resload_Relocate with tags CHIPPTR/FASTPTR and the
specified chip/fast memory location would result in an
overlapping with base executable WHDLoad now gives a useful
error message (JOTD).
- fix: Instead of waiting for a long video frame WHDLoad now forces a
long frame before starting the Slave. This fixes startup
problems on Kickstart 3.0 and an interlace video mode
(issue #4798).
- chg: MMU-table creation has been reworked. It is now faster and
uses less memory.
- new: Support for ACA-freezer added.
- chg: if "*" is specified for the Slave to load WHDLoad searchs the
current directory for a file with the pattern "#?.slave" and
will use the first file matching (Toni Wilen)
*** 18.5 (09.03.2019)
- fix: due bug in memory swap routine 18.4 crashed on returning to
the os, this has been fixed (issue #4084)
*** 18.4 (20.02.2019)
- fix: option NoReq/S has also effect now for errors occuring in
conjunction with option Data/K (issue #3690)
- fix: patch list command PL_GA fixed in the WHDLoadCD32
- fix: fixed wrong results with resload_ExNext introduced in 18.3,
e.g. game Ork Attack (Psygore)
- fix: in version 18.3 a CMD_STOP/FLUSH/START of input.device was
added, this seems to cause problems on some configurations,
to avoid them the code has been removed again
- chg: cpu cache handling in kickemu changed, there are new options
CACHECHIP and CACHECHIPDATA, the behavior of option CACHE has
been reverted to pre WHDLoad release 18.3, with option CACHE
all caches are enabled for expansion memory if MMU is used,
with option CACHECHIP the instruction cache will be enabled
for all memory independent from from WHDLoad's MMU usage,
option CACHECHIPDATA will enable data and instruction cache
for all memory, if no CACHE* option is set the cache are
disabled now, in previous releases the cache setup wasn't
modified which resulted in WHDLoad's default cache setup where
inst/data cache is enabled for ExpMem/Slave if MMU used -
similar to option option CACHE where additionally the 68060
stuff is enabled (branch cache, superscalar, write buffer),
please consult also the provided kick.readme
- chg: kickemu kick13.s has been modified to work with data cache in
chip memory, gfx.Text now uses the cpu to clear the temporary
buffer instead the blitter
- new: macro PL_STR0 added to the patch list commands which will
write the given string plus a 0-byte to the destination
- new: italian keymap added to the docs (thanks Luca Longone)
- fix: kickfs: with IOCACHE to order of writes is now preserved, in
previous releases it was not, which could cause switches to
the operation system on resload_SaveFileOffset because offsets
outside the current filesize
- chg: if SplashDelay=0 and ConfigDelay>0 the splash window is
opened if there is a config (Juuso Salmijärvi)
- chg: the local option Config now overwrites a config string
contained in the Slave
- chg: option Preload/S can also be used in the global configuration
file
- fix: using Snoop on the 68030 the fire button bits in cia.ddra can
be set to output mode now (reading joypad), previously this
was only allowed on 68040/60 (StingRay)
- chg: BaseMemory is now allocated in possible three parts to reduce
memory requirements if higher areas of chip memory are already
used by the system
- new: a segtracker modul has been added to all kickemu variants,
equal to the known utility SegTracker by Michael Sinz this
will track all loaded executables, WHDLoad will use this
information to display name and offset in all error messages,
this will make it easier to locate causes for malfunctions in
kickemu installed programs
- chg: the calculation of exec.ChkSum in kick12/13.s has been fixed
- fix: if SegTracker was used and no matching segment was found
WHDLoad displayed sometimes some garbage, this has been fixed
- chg: all the sources provided by JOTD has been updated to the
latest level, nonvolatile.s has been removed because the
sources are now using the nonvolatile.s provided by WHDLoad,
thanks to JOTD
- chg: WHDLoadGCI allows now opening a new memory window from the
address under the cursor in a memory window, a bug in partial
extraction of Base/ExpMemory has been fixed
- chg: a patch has been added to all kickemus to disable the key
repeat of the input.device after a switch to the operating
system, this should avoid problems on first time save
operations triggered by a keypress
- new: the splash window can also be closed now pressing the fire
button on the joystick in port #1
- new: a new special quit key has been added which quits by pressing
Reverse, Forward and Play together on a joypad
- chg: WHDLoad no longer tries to open the audio.device, there was
not much benefit from it and to leave it avoids any requesters
if already open by another application
*** 18.3 (06.04.2017)
- chg: don't check for read-only-filesystem if option SavePath is
used (issue #3355)
- fix: if option SavePath is used and the save path is not yet
created WHDLoad will no longer try to delete files in the
normal data directories if resload_DeleteFile is called
- fix: resload_SaveFileOffset now correctly works on files which are
not preloaded and not yet present in the SavePath, in older
releases dos error #203 was reported (issue #3355)
- chg: the behavior of the option CACHE in kickemu
(sources/whdload/kick*.s) has been changed, previously it set
the chip memory non cacheable (NC) now it sets it cacheable
write-through (WT), recompiling Slaves using this option will
change this for the resulting Slaves, for machines with cpu
caches and no MMU otherwise no caches are enabled at all by
WHDLoad
- chg: splash window corrected for non standard window borders
(Mikhail Malyshev)
- fix: resload_DeleteFile reworked, no longer supports deleting
directories, delete operation is cached if file was preloaded,
now correctly works together with SavePath/K option
- chg: checking for a read-only filesystem is performed after
executing a possible ExecuteStartup now (Stephane Julien)
- chg: kickemu now uses the host system bplcon0 to init gb_bplcon0,
this should preserve genlock/lace setup (issue #2858),
WHDLoad itself also use gb_bplcon0 for the initial custom
setup
- fix: the interrupt redirect feature of ACA now correctly works with
programs depending on the supervisor bit in the interrupt
stack frame, this should fix problems with install using the
kickstart emulation (Toni Wilen)
- chg: on 68060 the store/load bypass is no longer disabled if the
cpu revision is >= 5
- new: support for Vampire/Apollo added, will be detected as 68040
now (older WHDLoad detected a 68020 because the presence of
MSP and CAAR registers), MMU is always disabled
- fix: kickemu now correctly enables the fpu via resload_SetCPU if
NEEDFPU is set
*** 18.2 (23.12.2015)
- chg: the WHDLoad install script speaks german now
- fix: some small fixes in the Autodoc file (Psygore)
- fix: small fix in the supplied ITD program to avoid problems while
detecting the destination device
- new: RoadShow added to the example Startup/Cleanup scripts
- fix: dumping of loaded files via resload_DiskLoad was broken
- fix: due to small internal buffer the argument parsing when started
from the CLI did not detect a bad argument (Psygore)
- fix: the blitter wait check (ChkBlitWait/S) now resets the internal
run flag also at word reads to dmaconr on the 68030,
previously only bytes did that (StingRay)
- chg: WHDLoad no longer requests a keyfile and it is no longer
possible to register WHDLoad, if you have a keyfile it is
still loaded/checked and your name will be displayed in the
splash window, Thanks to all registered users!
*** 18.1 (19.04.2015)
- new: update check added: when a network connection is available
WHDLoad will check via a HTTP request if a newer version
exists on the WHDLoad webpage for the used Slave and WHDLoad,
supports a proxy with optional basic authentication via option
Proxy/K, to disable any network access the option NoNetwork/S
can be used
uses sha256 implementation by Robert Leffmann, thanks!
- chg: dumping loaded files using bit #31 set in the disk number via
resload_DiskLoad will now use the offset in ExpMem in the
created file name, also the written files will go through the
file cache to avoid recurring switches to the operating system
*** 18.0 (04.12.2014)
- fix: WHDLoad lock up happen when FullChip/S is used and
exec.MaxLocMem is equal to BaseMemSize fixed
- fix: ExpChip/S and FullChip/S cannot be enabled together, if both
are set FullChip/S will be silently disabled (Psygore)
- chg: option NoTrapHandler/S has been removed
- fix: race condition fixed which sometimes caused a 'Privilege
Violation Exception' when a Resload function was called from
Usermode and got interrupted during the internal switch to
Supervisor mode and then trace exception was used from the
installed program, seen especially in installs using kick13
emu and performing a lot of disk io, fixes issue #2094 and
connected ones
- chg: the log file created by the FileLog/S facility has been
renamed from .whdl_filelog to .whdl_log
- new: function resload_Log which puts custom messages into the log
file .whdl_log, uses the same file as the FileLog/S facility
and requires that FileLog/S option is set so that messages
will be written
this function is intended to make it easier to debug/follow
alien code by adding trace messages to dump the execution
state at useful places
- new: option LogBuffer/K/N to control the size of the internal
buffer allocated for log messages by FileLog/S and
resload_Log
- new: function resload_VSNPrintF implementing a exec.RawDoFmt/
sprintf like string formatting routine
- new: kickfs.s has new option SNOOPFS which will cause in
conjunction with HDINIT all dos packets after processing to
be logged using resload_Log, the supplied perl script
chkunlock.pl can be used to search the log file for missing
dos.UnLock and dos.Close calls
- new: using the function resload_Control and the tags
WHDLTAG_CUST_DISABLE/READ/WRITE/STROBE the allowed custom
registers for Snoop*/S can be modified now
- chg: ReSource support files updated to cover recent WHDLoad
extensions
- new: added XAD support to the installer template script
- chg: external program SP to save pictures from dump files has been
improved to better support AGA screens (ddf, fmode, bplcon)
- chg: on the 68030 the instruction burst is now always enabled if
the instruction cache is enabled (Psygore)
- chg: the 68040 processor is now fully supported regarding the
special mmu features (Snoop, resload_Protect), the
implementation was planned since years, it was a lot of work
because the handling is very different to the 68030 und 68060,
although I'm unsure if this feature will be used much, I'm
happy to have it completed now
- chg: option ChkAudPt/S is also supported on the 68030 and 68040 now
- chg: the interrupt redirect feature of ACA500/Zeus is not used when
option NoVBRMove/S is set
- chg: PreloadSize/N will also be set by WHDLoad if ws_DontCache is
used in the Slave
some more end user related improvements are planned for the next
release :-)
*** 17.2 (01.12.2013)
- fix: cancelling directory preload (in the splash window pressing
Esc or changing a option forcing restart) could cause memory
list corruption
- new: support for Zeus68k pseudo vbr added, allows to quit by key
similar like a moved vector base, but only on interrupts not
on exceptions
- new: on AGA machines all color registers are read from the custom
chips and written to the dump file
- fix: WHDLoadCD32 works again with resload_DiskLoad, was broken in
version 17.1 (issue #2633)
- chg: utility ITD can now read files larger than 4 GiB (e.g. on
SFS\2) and write to larger devices using TD64
- chg: alignment for patch lists (resload_Patch/Seg) is now verified
by WHDLoad to avoid problems on 68000/10
- chg: the check for valid custom.aud*ptr introduced in version 17.1
can now be enabled via the new option ChkAudPt/S
- fix: on Kickstart 2.0 (V37) option NoMemReverse/S is now always
active to avoid problems which could lead to freezing during
Preload or other memory allocations
- chg: memory allocations improved if NoMemReverse/S is active, now
these will succeed also if memory below BaseMemSize is free
by trying to allocate until memory is above
- fix: preload progress bar fixed on Kickstart 2.0 (V37), was using
a V39 only utility.library function
- new: added IF/ELSE/ENDIF conditional blocks to patch lists to
simplify the handling of patches depending on ButtonWait/S and
Custom1-5/N options (resload_Patch/Seg)
- chg: detection of HRTmon builtin WinUAE improved to support if MMU
protection is enabled with WHDLoad (CFou!)
- chg: options NTSC/PAL can be set global and local now, where the
local one (CLI/Tooltype) will overwrite the global one
(configuration file S:WHDLoad.prefs)
- new: WHDLoad now sets the screen mode in HRTmon to the video mode
specified for the installed program, with that HRTmon will
always uses the same video mode (PAL/NTSC) as WHDLoad, for
correct operation at least HRTmon version 2.35 is required
- chg: audio.device is only opened when present in execs device list,
this saves some memory if it isn't initilized already
- chg: install script template now supports also the diskimage
device by Fredrik Wikstrom (Psygore)
- chg: option FullChip/S can also set globally now
- new: support for interrupt vector redirect feature of ACA500 on
68000 added
- chg: added a kludge to preserve the largest free memory block until
PreLoad in situations where multiple small free blocks are
available to increase the likelihood of being able to cache a
large disk image
*** 17.1 (06.10.2012)
- fix: formatting of termination reason string in register dump fixed
on very long texts (Psygore)
- fix: if the vbr is moved by WHDLoad the interrupts of levels 4-6
(vectors $70..$78) are directly forwarded to the installed
program now, in previous releases all the sanity checks and
checks for the keyboard were done in each interrupt which has
increased the latency and duration of the interrupts, now
these checks are only performed in interrupt levels 1-3 or
if the option CheckInts/S is used for all levels
it seems that the increased amount of code put into the
interrupts by the later WHDLoad versions has caused problems
with several games, this is hopefully fixed now and these
games will work with the current WHDLoad as good as with
versions 16.8 or 16.9
- fix: on a 68020 the default cache setup was instruction cache
enable, this bug has been introduced in version 17.0, now the
default is again disabled (Toni Wilen)
- chg: the icon started from is only written if any gadget has been
pressed, previously it were written everytime if Config or
Expert was active (Graham)
- fix: prevented a bug when FileLog/S will be disabled via the splash
window
- new: resload_DiskLoad can now dump all read files, see autodoc
- new: SnoopOCS/ECS/AGA/S checks also that writes to custom.aud*ptr
are not outside BaseMem and are not equal zero, check is only
performed on 68060 (Psygore)
- chg: WHDLoad now detects a filesize difference between the
directory scan used for resload_Examine/ExNext requested by
WHDLF_Examine and the file Preload, this may reveal filesystem
problems in conjunction with dos.ExAll, e.g. ffs 39.x
(issue #2575)
- chg: documentation regarding patch lists in include and autodoc
files improved
- fix: on chip memory only machines with Kickstart 3.0 or better
slaves with WHDLF_Examine failed on building the directory
cache due problems with exec.CreatePool (Psygore)
*** 17.0 (14.08.2011)
- chg: documentation about Snoop feature now explains in detail which
cia registers are checked in which way (StingRay)
- chg: the install script template function P_AskDisk is additional
able to check for disks which contain a named file instead
only by volume name
- chg: the joypad emulation in kickemu 3.1 now supports a force
option to disable the auto sensing of lowlevel.library
- fix: kickfs.s now properly supports reading and writing to the same
file handle if IOCACHE is used
- new: support/detection of special HRTmon builtin WinUAE added
(monitor must be entered one time before WHDLoad can see it!)
- fix: when file for Preload/S was larger than the largest free
memory block this could lead to an DOS error #205 after all
remaining files have been preloaded, this bug has been
introduced in version 16.9, issue #2154
- chg: on option NoResInt/S WHDLoad checks and terminates if blitter
is active on entering via a resload function
- chg: trap hook now checks if vector is odd and aborts then
- chg: if option NoMMU/S is active WHDLoad now more correctly checks
the actual MMU setup and warns about translations of 0..3000
- chg: amount of disassembled code lines increased (Psygore)
- fix: output for disassembling of some instructions were corrected
by Psygore, (moveq #-x; cmp/add/and/move/bset/bchg/... #$nnxx;
bitfield with offset 0)
- fix: crashes on M-Tec 630 boards without FPU fitted caused by the
FPU detection inside WHDLoad fixed, board causes 'coprocessor
protocol violation's instead of 'line-f emulator', thanks to
Die BORG for lending the hardware
- chg: there are separate Resload versions for 00-20/30/40/60 now,
which enlarges the WHDLoad executable but saves memory at
runtime (overlayed)
- new: progress bar for Preload/S operation added, WHDLoad will
remember PreloadSize/S itself as ToolType if started from the
Workbench
- fix: cache clear in MMU configuration routine added, should fix
problems with issue #2094 and issue #2182 (Psygore)
- new: dutch translation of documentation, thanks to Harold van der
Waaij
- chg: resload_Relocate now accepts upto 512 hunks (Don Adan)
- chg: emulation of 'move sr,ea' in usermode on 68010+ is now also
working if flag WHDLF_EmulPriv is active, this fixes problems
with RoadwarsArcadia and FastBreakArcadia
- chg: support for Cloantos AmigaForever 2011 kickstart 1.2 and
3.1-a500/a1200 roms added (Jan Zahurancik)
- new: WHDLoad supports the compression file formats of CrunchMania
with the resload functions resload_Decrunch and resload_Load-
FileDecrunch (Psygore)
- chg: the way WHDLoad checks for keyboard strokes (QuitKey,
FreezeKey, ...) has been slightly modified, in earlier
versions it has checked for keydown strokes, now it only
reacts on keyup events; if the Slave checks itself for
keyboard events the installed program may still quit on
keydowns
- chg: the ws_keydebug entry in the Slave structure is now ignored,
the debug key must be explictly set via arguments
- fix: it's now possible to use QuitKey/DebugKey=0 (Psygore)
- chg: as long as the splash window is open pressing Esc will break
the Preload/S process and quit WHDLoad
- chg: pressing Space/Return/Enter will close the splash window and
start the installed program immediate after completion of
Preload/S
- new: in Expert/S mode the splash window now contains some buttons
to switch debugging related options of WHDLoad which gets
saved/deleted in the icon if started from the Workbench
- new: the Slave structure has been extended to allow configuration
of buttons to be displayed on the splash window to control
the ButtonWait/S and Custom1-5/K/N options
to be able to configure existing Slaves the option Config/K
has been added
- new: using the option ConfigDelay/K/N the time can be specified
howlong the splash window is displayed if there are buttons
on it (Config/Expert)
- chg: if SplashDelay/K/N is -1 a start button is added to the splash
window and the window remains open until pressed
- chg: the kickstart images will be searched also in the alternative
path WHDCOMMON: (M.C.Battilana)
68040 MMU code is incomplete in this release because being reworked
to support full MMU features, resload_Protect should work but Snoop
will lock the machine
*** 16.9 (05.02.2009)
- chg: BLITWAIT macro in whdmacros.i adapted for better speed, thanks
to John Girvin for research and testing
- fix: problems with writing to disks with around a multiple of 4 GB
free space fixed (Ingo Schmitz)

which could lead to strange WHDLoad errors (e.g. "Function ...
requires slave version 1"), reported for game Universe, thanks
to KillerGorilla for report and Psygore for diagnostics;
the old RNC1 format is now properly supported for overlapping
source and destination
- new: on ChkBltSize/S some basic initialization in blitter line mode
are checked too (68060 only)

cdtv.device will be disabled to avoid problems with interrupts
generated by this, thanks to jtorrance and Toni Wilen
- new: commands BKPT and BELL added to resload_Patch/Seg to set a
breakpoint (enter freezer) and show a visual bell
- chg: handling of the internal directory cache for resload_Examine/
ExNext changed, so that new created files will not be the
first entry in the directory
this fixes problems with programs which do not correctly
perform a Examine before each directory scan, e.g. Castles2
(JOTD)
- chg: some more info output and better lace support with SP (saving
picture)
- chg: check for free stack space on entering WHDLoad via resload/
interrupt/exception made more consistent

directory, that means that file specs containg a ':' or '//'
or starting/ending with a '/' are prohibited, these files were
anyway never Preload-able
- new: support for multiple data directories added
- new: options SavePath/K and SaveDir/K added to let WHDLoad redirect
all write operations to a different disk location

diskimage.device, trackwarp.library and capsimage.device
- chg: kick31.s supports also the kickstart image from the A500/A600/
A2000, with that it is possible to make Slaves using kick31
which are compatible to a 68000 CPU (Don Adan)
- new: WHDLoad itself disables the interrupts of Mediator boards now
while running the installed program, this should solve
problems like freezing and gfx/sound distortion on these
boards, thanks to John Girvin and Elbox for providing the
solution
- chg: WHDLoad now avoids opening the WorkBench screen after exiting,
older versions have always opened the WB if no other screen

set in custom.intreq and custom.intena, this will allow easier
fix for interrupt acknoledge problems on fast machines and
bad hardware creating interrupts

caused problems without Preload/S
- fix: symbol hunks in resload_Relocate fixed (Codetapper)
- new: resload_ListFiles added to FileLog/S (Jeff)
- new: now FileLog/S logs the CRC16 for all read/write operations,
that may be useful especially for developers to detect on bug
reports different data by requesting a FileLog from the
reporter
*** 14.3 (02.06.2001)
- fix: without Preload/S LoadFileOffset/DiskLoad returning error
(Philippe)

- new: TDREASON_FAILMSG to quit using a self defined message
(MrLarmer)
- new: all write operations will now be cached in memory if possible
to omit unnecessary switches to the OS, require that the file
to write to is already in the file cache, to avoid this
behavior the option NoWriteCache/S has been added, to
completely disable this feature the option can also set in the
global configuration file
- new: all data files can be compressed using XPK now, files will be
decompressed on Preload/S, there must be enough free store to
cache XPK files otherwise WHDLoad will quit, files can be
compressed/encrypted multiple times, decrypting requires
reqtools.library v38
- chg: differences in Snoop regarding ciab.prb between 68030 and
68060 removed, checks for MTR/SEL/STEP on both cpu's now
(Codetapper)

or MEMF_FAST to a different memory location
*** 14.0 (15.03.2001)

writing to cop1lc/cop2lc/dmacon)
- chg: link/unlk/pea has been added to the IST (Mr.Larmer)
- chg: more useful output on Speed.Slave if MMU is unavailable
(Harry)
- new: tag WHDLTAG_LANG_GET to use with resload_Control to get
the current language set in the system, uses and requires
lowlevel.library to be installed

- chg: emulation of unsupported integer instruction on 68060 supports
all variations of 64-bit mul/div except addressing modes using
full extension word (memory indirect/base displacement)
- fix: problems with Snoop exceptions during Switch fixed (copper
list scanner could lock WHDLoad on return from OS to installed
program)
- chg: WHDInfo 1.20 by Codetapper included in the developer package
- fix: better compatibility on Kickstart 2.0, no longer freezes the
Workbench after exiting WHDLoad, the reason was cia.alarm
values, because I don't know how to restore them to the
original values WHDLoad no loger touches them, that means
also there are no defined start values on entering the
installed program anymore and there may be too problems on
Kickstart 2.0 if the installed program writes the cia.alarm
values (probably less than 5% of all games)
*** 13.0 (21.12.2000)
- fix: debug key handling fixed (was broken when Expert was used in
global config and no debug key was specified and the Slave has
used a default of 0) (Jeff)

- chg: parts of the exception handlers rewritten, a detected Freezer
will be also activated on Access Fault, Privilege Violation
and Unimplemented Integer Instruction; that simplifies
debugging
- chg: WHDload is overlayed now, that saves some memory at runtime
and shortens the executable
- new: emulation of CMP2 for 68060 added (e.g. Overkill/Mindscape,
Roots/Sanity), emulation of movep and mul32 optimized for
superscalar dispatch
- chg: if option SplashDelay is set to 0 no splash-window will be
displayed
- chg: docs reworked (thanks to Codetapper for doing that)

the cachebility of certain memory regions and to allow
control over 68060 specific cpu configuration
- chg: option NoDCache has been removed (simplify cache management)
- new: function resload_Patch to handle patchlists, i'm wondering
why this hasn't implemented earlier :), useful especially
to patch stuff in expansion memory
- fix: whole decruncher stuff reworked, support for old rnc1-data
format added, all decruncher a5/a6 save, optimized, less
stack usage...
- fix: expansions memory (ws_ExpMem) is also aligned to $1000 if no
MMU is available or MMU is unused by WHDLoad (Graham)
- fix: possible deadlock in the switch routine (OS<->Install)
removed (Graham)
- new: information window on startup (while Preload/S) added, it
shows infomations about the installed program, the Slave and
the actual QuitKey, information about program and Slave are
taken from an expanded Slave-structure (see include and
autodoc files), if a Slave with version prior 10 is used
WHDLoad displays only the name of the installed program which
will be build from the name of the Slave
how long the information window is displayed can be changed
with the new option SplashDelay/N
(information window is inspirated by Mr.Larmer on 7.7.1998,
nothing gets lost here :)
- chg: include file "whdload.i" splitted into "whdload.i" which
contains WHDLoad base defines and "whdmacros.i" containing
optional defines and macro definitions
*** 9.2 (15.03.1999)
- fix: 3 enforcer hits removed (Juergen Urbanek, Hubert Maier jun.),
there are still some hits left to the vector table, but these
are required for normal operation and cannot be removed
- fix: bug in decruncher for Imploder files fixed (Mr.Larmer),
this bug was introduced in version 9.0
- chg: there are no longer distortions in gfx display and sound
replay due disabled interrupts during loading from preloaded
data (resload_LoadFile, LoadFileDecrunch, LoadFileOffset,
DiskLoad)
- new: option NoFilter/S to disable the audio filter, can be set
globally using S:WHDLoad.prefs or locally using Tooltypes
(Roderick Mouthaan)
- new: program RawDIC by Graham/Oxyrone to create images from non
standard floppy disks formats, it replaces Patcher as prefered
tool for this task
- chg: documentation reworked
*** 9.1 (15.02.1999)
- new: WHDLTAG_TIME_GET to get actual date and time (Mr.Larmer)
- fix: problems with some 68030 systems fixed (WHDLoad uses some
special hardware features in conjunction with the MMU
related operations, some hardware does not support this
(Apollo A630 and Magnum MK2 are known for this), on such
systems you can't enable the MMU/S option - otherwise the
machine will hang) (reported by Chris Thomas, Maxim Ilyn
and Jess Sosnoski)
*** 9.0 (17.01.1999)
- chg: performance of resload_LoadFileDecrunch improved
- chg: access fault handler for 68030 rewritten:
- better performance

- setting overlay bit (ciaa.pra) catched
- setting motor/step (ciab.prb) catched
- bad writes to ddra/ddrb catched
- blitsize check fixed, supports all except line-mode now
(ascending/descending mode, negative modulos, odd pointers
and odd modulos)
- a callback function can be setup (resload_Control) which
will called by WHDLoad if an Access Fault occurs, the
function can modify the bad access and decide if the
program should be continued or terminated, see autodoc for
further infos
- fix: potgo set to input mode now, fixes right mouse button problem
with ArcherMcLeanPool and JimmyWhiteSnooker (Mr.Larmer)
- new: WHDLTAG_VERSION_GET, WHDLTAG_REVISION_GET, WHDLTAG_BUILD_GET
for usage with resload_Control to get the major and minor
version number and the build number of WHDLoad currently
running, the build number is granted to be uniq and can be
used to distinguish between different sub versions (Mr.Larmer)
- new: pressing Ctrl-Amiga-Amiga will cause WHDLoad to quit,
depending on machine speed this may avoid cold reboots due a
not restored execbase (Graham)
- fix: Snoop works again on 68060, was broken in 8.2
- chg: the vector table is not write protected if Snoop on a 68060 is
enabled
- new: option ReadDelay/N to cause WHDLoad to wait some time between
reading files from disk and switching the OS off (Jeff)
- new: flag WHDLF_EmulTrapV to forward exceptions to the zero page
handler if the vbr is moved (Graham)
*** 8.2 (19.12.1998)
- chg: the vector table (VBR) is write protected now, to catch
invalid to accesses to it (Mr.Larmer), requires that the MMU
is used by WHDLoad, NoVBRMove is not set and no freezer is
detected by WHDLoad in memory
- fix: problems with PAL and NTSC in conjunction with Picasso 96
monitor drivers fixed (Tim Kovack)
*** 8.1 (13.12.1998)
- chg: detection of HRTmon 2.24 implemented
- fix: Access Fault in resload_Relocate removed
- new: some changes and enhancements for HRTmon 2.25
- fix: Snoop works again for 68030 machines (was broken in v8.0)
- chg: all unsaved registers after executing a resload function
(D0-D1/A0-A1 as far as they don't contain a return code)
will be destroyed explicit now, for compatibility reasons
*** 8.0 (22.11.1998) not public released!
- chg: if the write offset for a resload_SaveFileOffset operation
lies outside the current length of the file and therefore
the file must be enlarged before writing, WHDLoad tries now to
fill this area with $ee, if there is not enough memory
available for this, WHDLoad falls back to the old style by
using dos.SetFileSize(), with the result that the enlarged
area will contain random data
- fix: deadlock in switch routine fixed which occured when lightpen
has been activated (e.g. "Die Hard 2")
- fix: cia's will be completly initialized by WHDLoad now, and also
better handled during switch
- chg: also disk images will be cached dynamically now
- fix: small bug in DIC removed (Mr.Larmer)
- fix: resload_LoadFileOffset accepts also parameters upto the
BaseMem bound now (DarkAngel)
- new: flag WHDLF_NoKbd to allow NoVBRMove also for programs which
doesn't check the keyboard from the PORTS ($68) interrupt
- new: function resload_Relocate to relocate an standard AmigaDOS
executable in memory, beware: uses a lot of stack and is not
tested with all hunk types, see autodoc for more details
- new: function resload_Delay to wait a specified time or a button
to be pressed (time independed from PAL/NTSC display)
- new: slave can request expansion memory (fast memory) now
ATTENTION: slave structure has been enlarged
- new: TDREASON_MUSTREG (DarkAngel)
- new: WHDLTAG_IOERR_GET for usage with resload_Control to check if
all names have been fitted in resload_ListFiles and to
distinguish a file with a size of 0 from an nonexistent file
in resload_GetFileSize (Harry)
- new: option D/S for debuging, if enabled the software freezer
(Hrt/TK) will be activated at the first instruction of the
Slave
- new: flag WHDLF_EmulLineA to emulate Line-A opcodes if the vbr is
moved
- new: function resload_DeleteFile to delete files (Mr.Larmer)
- new: program SP which can save iff pictures from the new coredump
files created by WHDLoad, works for most standard picture
formats (Snoop* is required of course)
- new: sources for all programs except WHDLoad included, please note
that most of them are copyrighted
- chg: many internal changes, also the problems with BloodMoney and
CelticLegends seems to have been solved
- fix: Restart should work reliable now
- fix: small bug in ITD removed (Harry)
*** 7.0 (01.07.1998)
- chg: new revision scheme, version number of WHDLoad is now equal to
highest possible version number for a Slave, separate build
number
- new: new tag for resload_Control to setup a function to restore
destroyed custom registers during switch between OS and
installed program (Harry)
- chg: functions resload_LoadFileOffset, resload_SaveFile and
resload_SaveFileOffset can be used with a filesize of zero now
(Harry)
- chg: the functions resload_Protect#? are checking now if the
protected area matches the current SSP, if it does, WHDLoad
will stop and show a requester "Unacceptible Arguments", this
has been build in to reduce the likelihood of a Double Bus
Fault, thanks to Mr.Larmer for reporting this problem
- fix: check of workbench arguments a bit more secure now
- new: new Slave flags WHDLF_Req68020 and WHDLF_ReqAGA, new
TDREASON_REQ68020 and TDREASON_REQAGA, new tag
WHDLTAG_CHIPREVBITS_GET for resload_Control, to handle
programs which require a MC68020 or the AGA Chip Set (Mr.
Larmer)
- new: TDREASON_MUSTNTSC and TDREASON_MUSTPAL to terminate if the
installed program requires a specific display which isn't
enabled (Mr.Larmer)
- chg: Preload/S now collects also files from sub directories
- chg: example sources (slaves/imager) reworked to assemble with
Asm-Pro v1.12 (still some problems with labels in macros,
but this is a problem of AsmPro)
- new: support for additional NewIcon in Install Templates
(Mr.Larmer)
the following problems are known and still unsolved:
- no exit possible from BloodMoney/CelticLegends
- Nitro does hang with Preload/S enabled, use WHDLoad v0.608 or
disable Preload/S to go around this
*** 1.92 (08.06.1998)
- fix: problem with Clown'o'mania (©1989 Starbyte) does not work with
WHDLoad v1.1 has been fixed, the reason was a different
initialized ciaa.icr.tb bit, to fix this and future problems
WHDLoad does init the CIA interrupt mask explicit now, all
interrupts are disabled except the CIAA SP interrupt (used for
keyboard) which is enabled. I have tried some installs and it
seems to work ok, anyway it is possible that some installs may
no longer work because they may expect that some interrupts
are already enabled on startup - these installs must be fixed
for this new WHDLoad
- new: TDREASON_OSEMUFAIL to support the OS emulation module
- chg: the message for instruction stream access faults has been
corrected (Harry)
- new: option Expert/S, this option must be enabled to make core
dumps using the DebugKey/K/N now, the option has been added to
avoid that normal users press the wrong key by mistake (Harry)
- new: options ExecuteStartup and ExecuteCleanup to execute a command
at start and at end of WHDLoad
*** 1.1 (25.05.1998)
- fix: stack usage on resload_Decrunch and resload_LoadFileDecrunch
decreased, speed of RNC1 decrunching improved a lot, its a
really a good idea to patch the decrunch routine in games
with resload_Decrunch if it uses RNC1 !
- new: DIC can create partial images now (option SIZE/K)
- new: WHDLoad performs now a "SetClock LOAD" at exit
- fix: some minor fixes in the gfx degrading routine
- fix: disk-dma check in os-switch modified, it switches dma off now
instead of showing the white-color-cycle-bug-screen
(because it's nowhere documented else: red - copper cannot
switched off, blue - ints cannot switched off, green - blitter
is busy but dma is off; after pressing LMB WHDLoad continues
but it's undefined what will happen)
- new: new program "ITD" (ImageToDisk) to write disk images back to
floppy or RAD: can format the disk, can write partial images,
no verify, see documentation for more info
- fix: problems with second copperlist on reactivating os graphics
- new: blitter wait check if SnoopOCS/ECS/AGA enabled
- new: if available whdload will use reqtools.library instead
intuitions requesters now, because they are screen centered
and have better keyboard support
- new: with SnoopOCS/ECS/AGA all cpu used custom registers will be
dumped now
- chg: tooltypes NTSC/PAL will now affect the display init routine
(Intuition.OpenScreen()) therefore you need the appropriate
monitor files installed
- new: functions resload_Protect#? to snoop memory accesses in
various ways, very useful for developer... (requested by
Mr.Larmer)
- new: function resload_LoadFileOffset which is similar to
resload_DiskLoad but for files
- new: flag WHDLF_NoDivZero for ws_Flags to prevent WHDLoad from exit
if a "Division by Zero" exception occurs
- chg: all resload functions has been reworked to no longer modify
registers a5 and a6, this solves problems with demos/games
which expect that the contens of these registers are valid
also in an interrupt, for example SWIV expects a5=global-data
and a6=custom-base, the only exception from this rule are the
functions resload_Decrunch and resload_LoadFileDecrunch when
working on rnc packed files, in this case a5 is temporarly
used (it is a bit hard to rewrite the whole decrunch
routines and I'm low on time of course...)
in general it is a good idea if the program you like to
install does'nt work with WHDLoad to check the interrupt
routines, if the interrupts make assuptions similar the above
(e.g a4=anything) you have to disable the interrupts before
calling any resload function and reenable after
- chg: WHDLoad checks now the current stackpointer each time the
Slave calls a resload function, if the SP is lower than $180
or outside the BaseMem area the program will be terminated and
WHDLoad shows a requester about, this should avoid problems
like destroyed vector tables or deadly double Access Faults
in conjunction with an enabled Memory Protection
- chg: it is no longer required that SetPatch is executed before
WHDLoad on 68040/68060 equipped machines because WHDLoad
determinates the current CPU itself now
- chg: for 68060 only (68040 also??): the newer versions of
68060.library (starting v41.1) does remap the memory $0-$1000
(the first page) to a fast mem location using the MMU, this
will make major problems if the option NoMMU is activated: in
this case WHDLoad will not change any MMU related registers
and this address translation will remain intact !!!
if the installed program tries to use this area for any dma
actions (e.g. a copperlist in this area) the results will be
unforeseeable, because the cpu will read/write the fast-mem
location and dma's the real chip-mem which contains random
data !!!
I don't want to disable the NoMMU option for 68040/060
machines, therefore the following has been changed: the
longword at address $1000 does now contain the value -2 which
is the copper instruction cend (was on address $300 in earlier
WHDLoad versions), the minimum BaseMemSize has been increased
to $2000. If NoMMU is selected and the above mentioned
address translation is active an requester will inform the
user about the existing problem.
- new: options ButtonWait/S and Custom1/K/N ... Custom5/K/N for
slave specific things (requested by Harry)
- chg: WriteDelay/K/N does also affect the FileLog/S feature now,
this means that after each write to the logfile WHDLoad will
wait the time specified via WriteDelay/K/N to minimize the
danger of filesystem corupption
- chg: install scripts has been reworked, PLEASE check them !
- chg: sources has been changed and new added, PLEASE check them !
- chg: WHDLoad is shareware now, read documention for more info

- new: option PAL/S to force PAL display on NTSC amigas
- new: options Cache/S,DCache/S,NoDCache/S to allow full user
control over the caches

- new: Quit/Debug-key management through new options QuitKey/K/N and
DebugKey/K/N, every new slave should support this via the
