Mr. Styckx/1984 just announced that Hatari version 2.6.1 is out, mainly a bugfix release after the recent 2.6.0 version.

Original release notes pasted below.

 

Hatari 2.6.1 has been released !

This is a small bugfix release for Hatari 2.6.0

Emulation improvements:

  •     MegaSTE:
        - When using cache, only compare 24 lowest bits of address
        - Don't update cache after a bus/address error
  •     Falcon:
        - Create a fast ram buffer (_FRB) cookie when running with TT RAM to fix a problem with floppy disk access
  •     Video:
        - Add support for STE 224 bytes overscan in medium resolution
        - Set correct resolution in Shifter when accessing $FF8260 as word (fix regression in Hatari 2.6.0)
  •     VME for MegaSTE / TT:
        - VME memory regions should return bus error when no VME board is present

Emulator improvements:

  •     Windows:
        - Fix: late locale init messes debugger readline history handling
  •     GEMDOS HD:
        - Fix: caches were not always flushed on writing to emulated memory
  •     Debugger:
        - Fix: show DEL character as non-printable in memdumps
  •     CPU/FPU settings:
        - Disallow 68881/68882 FPU in 040/060 mode
  •     Config / SDL GUI:
        - Default screenshot save directory override option
        - SDL GUI asks for file name when starting AVI recording
        - Fit Hatari screen dialog to smallest required size and log errors on invalid dialog sizes
  •     CLI options:
        - GEMDOS HD & screenshot dir options accept only existing directories

Fixed demos:
- A Letter To Sommarhack by Effect (write word at $FF8260)
- Partial fix for Double Rez Trouble by DHS (med res overscan lines)

Fixed programs:
- Spectre 3.0 (Hatari v2.6 regression, MegaSTE cache)

See release-notes.txt for the full changelog

Thanks to all people involved in this release !

Apparently they have shipped the wrong dll-file (libwinpthread-1.dll) in the Windows bundle. Expect another update soon.

Version 2.6.1 works wonderfully as I only use it for Hybrid Arts MIDI Track sequencer. There are 2 buggy issues but my biggest complaint is that I can NOT get my modified (updated) sequences into the real world! Yes they play perfectly fine via this emulator and save well also but I don't know how to move my files into the real world i.e.: memory cards. The format for my cards is excellent and my MIDI Reader can read the titles and actually begin playing the files but NOTHING is actually playing. What am I missing here?

Perhaps best to ask on atari-forum.com or Hatari mailing list: https://www.hatari-emu.org/contact.html.
