Bug in Hatari and WinSTon

posted in Emulator News by spacetiger on Aug 7th, 2003

The authors of Hatari have discovered a rare bug that can potentially wipe out your MSA disk images. The bug lies in the MSA compression and exists in all public releases of Hatari as well as WinSTon v0.5. Users have three options if they wish to protect themselves from this bug:
  • Get the latest CVS version of Hatari from the homepage (linked above)
  • Write-protect their disk images
  • Backup their disk images
The bug will be fixed in the next public release, so you can wait until then if you wish.
