[Patch] CD-ROM model selection

This patch allows CD-ROM model selection from a list of available models and also alters some of the UI behaviour. Beware that I can't do UIs :-) -CD-ROM settings will now only be enabled when an IDE or SCSI controller is selected. -Specific CD-ROM models may be restricted by interface type. -Speed ...

Re: Dot-matrix printing in PCem

No experience at all, I'm a backend person. I've noticed that some fonts can have a negative left/top so I currently handle this. Can they get *more* broken than this?

Small fixes

Here are some small fixes that should have little impact:

-Fix serial IRQs on ACC3221
-Fix a compatibility register for the SBPRO/SBPRO2

And one that looks dangerous:

-Add guards to macro expansion on SCSI HD code.

I hope to post a patch with a useable version in a few weeks at most.

In the meantime, does anyone have any tips on monospaced Roman and Sans Serif fonts that look like the Epson fonts and have a nice license? :-)

About CD Audio stopping working after executing Quake

CD Audio stops working completely in a PCem session after running Quake (the original, DOS version) under Win9x (haven't tested under DOS with MSCDEx). I've done some digging and here is what I found (the offending code is here: https://github.com/id-Software/Quake/blob/master/WinQuake/cd_audio.c )....

Re: Speed timings for emulated hard disks

PCem is not just a wrapper or virtualization software, so accurate timings make total sense. Also, inaccurate disc access times and/or behavior are known to cause problems in various platforms, for example see "5.0-2431 - DVD Timing Accuracy Upgrades" in this report: https://dolphin-emu.or...

Re: v15 & new recompiler update

To make the dynarec optional, you can remove CPU_REQUIRES_DYNAREC from your CPU in cpu_tables.c. Not usable but you will be able to tell if the issue is with the dynarec.

Re: Using special machine types

Between machines with similar features and performance, the difference will mostly be related to nostalgia and preservation. Sometimes there are bugs or quirks (real or from the emulation) that will make software work in one but not in another.

CD-audio also has very basic error correction (most data tracks use more of the sector for extra error correction/detection).

Re: [Patch] Packard Bell Legend 300SX

Thanks for the tip, leilei! I've been using ImgBurn for regular CDs and Alcohol 52% for titles with copy protection. In this case, however, there was no difference when using different software. I'm going to set up a 32-bit environment to see if this alse happens with the 32-bit recompiler.
