Re: [Patch] Packard Bell Legend 300SX

It's an obscure 1995 magazine CD from my country. I've been dumping everything in my possession lately. The ISO is 134MB bzipped but just running the .exe file without any data is enough to trigger the crash. I believe there would be no problem in distributing this specific executable for you to test.

Re: [Patch] Packard Bell Legend 300SX

The crash upon entering the BIOS seems to be fixed, but the one from the log I just posted still happens. I'm guessing it's completely unrelated to the cd subsystem, sorry!

Re: [Patch] Xi8088 - GPL XT system bios

Here is a new patch:

-Fixes CGA/MDA
-Turbo selection works (fix also applied to the Toshiba t3100/t1000) - Sarah, this is very intrusive to the cpu subsystem and I don't know much about it, please review carefully
-Added option to select flash size and turbo behavior, just like the real hardware

Re: [Patch] Packard Bell Legend 300SX

I start the machine it post but when it goes to boot it crashes. It seems to happen when certain cdrom images are mounted at boot. I can confirm that this happened to me some time ago with the install CD of a linux distro, mounted at POST = crash in various AMI bioses for Pentium. Forgot the report.

[Patch] Xi8088 - GPL XT system bios

The Xi8088 is a great project by Sergey Kiselev to build a XT-clone, I've built it myself along with the other boards by Sergey and they work great. The system is a XT along with some AT and PS2 features like PS/2 mouse, AT RTC/NVR, two PICs, etc. More info in http://www.malinov.com/Home/sergeys-pro...

While the Oti-037 has fewer capabilities than the already emulated Oti-067, its BIOS is somewhat pickier and did some tests that PCem didn't pass yet with the Oti-067 code, including enabling/disabling the controller, color diagnostic reading and reading from undocumented registers.

I've seen it happen in real hardware, but not with the AWE32. Wrong and/or missing music and even sounds in Duke3D under Windows. Generally a reboot would fix it.

Re: v13.1 released!

Doing test releases before (for what was released as 13.0, for example) is also a good idea to warn users that there are a lot of new features and a bugfix release may be needed. Even with all the testers, some small bugs always pass (like what happened now).

286 12Mhz clock speed is slightly different

According to every datasheet I could find, the all the -12 80286s were actually 12.5MHz. This is a small difference from the round 12Mhz value currently in the code, but I thought I would report it anyway.

The screen is not redrawn when switching virtual desktops on Linux. This is worse if emulating a system without mouse, because then we can't just move the mouse to force the screen to be redrawn.

But linear filtering should be disabled...
