Well, I guess eventually this could be modified to be done on a per-card level, though that would introduce code duplication.

Re: [Linux] GUI discussion

1. I cannot get the "iso" button on my danish keyboard to work, it does nothing at all(this was also an issue with the earlier build, but not the Windows build). I wasn't sure whether it is actually called iso, but that is the only term I know to describe it. On this grid view of an iso k...

Re: Config manager

Shouldn't the config parser do sanity checks, and either auto-correct values to valid ones or show a message box and then terminate the emulator? It would certainly be better than a potential crash.

Re: [BUG] Windows 95 desktop corruption with S3 Trio64

The whole long list of Trio64 bugs/glitches I just mentioned, affects not only the Number Nine and Phoenix Trio64 emulation, but also the Phoenix Trio32 emulation and the Paradise Bahamas 64 (S3 Vision864) emulation, which is no surprise since all of them use the same emulation core, which is Sarah's.

The 9FX Vision driver might be using blitter features that are not implemented.

Re: [Bug] DOS Prompt on Windows 95 OSR 2 and S3 Trio64...

Based on my tests, the SVGA return changes of 0xFF to 0x00 are not needed, I have tested with them back at 0xFF, but the rest of the patch still applied, and the bug is still gone.

Re: Awards do not detect floppies

Known bug with the SiS 496/497 BIOS used by PCem, which is revision 1, as well as a few other Award BIOS'es. For some reason, it expects a 720k drive to be 40-track instead of the correct 80. For the SiS 496/497, revision 3 of the BIOS fixes the problem.

Re: Support for 5.25 fd-formatted floppy

You don't need to. Just look under image information in WinImage. In fact, we can safely assume it's two sides and with 512-byte sectors, so all we need to know is sectors per track and the image's size in bytes, then the rest can be calculated.

That means nothing. I am quite sure a VLB version of the TGUI9440 existed. The card is just poorly emulated right now. It is quite unclear to me how you made the logic jump from "the bug occurs on a specific card only" to "the bug occurs because the card is not compatible with ISA-onl...
