Ran into this this morning. Compiles rev:310 this morning, and tried setting up a IBM PC with a Hercules card and got this:
System:
Machine: IBM PC
Video: Hercules
CPU: 8088/8
Mem: 1
Sound: None
Hercules garbled

Re: Hercules garbled
Oh dear! That doesn't sound good. Earlier today, the 4-colour (2-bit) 320 x 200 CGA mode was fixed and now this. I hope that it gets fixed.te_lanus wrote:Ran into this this morning. Compiles rev:310 this morning, and tried setting up a IBM PC with a Hercules card and got this:

The garbled Hercules display was not an issue in earlier revisions. I'm wondering if the MDA adapter is also affected by this display corruption as well.
I updated to r310 and I obviously can't reproduce it on my PC. Like Tom said, your mda.rom file probably got corrupt.

@te_lanus
Rev. 310
I can not confirm this kind of problem
Without to mount any floppy-/hard disk image I get the IBM Basic on normal screen.
Do you tested my last unofficial builds (RR)?

Re: Hercules garbled
I can't reproduce this either. It looks maybe like MDA.ROM has got corrupted?
Re: Hercules garbled
I noticed the same issue today after compiling r312.
The issue is that MDA.ROM needs to be in the same root folder as pcem.exe. when I copied it over from the roms folder it worked.
Is this normal behavior?
This issue also impacted Olivetti M24 and possibly other machine types.
(just noticed it was the same way for quite a while now)

Re: Hercules garbled
The same things happens on 310 and older.
Try removing MDA.ROM from the root folder of where pcem executable is.
Then start up either an Olivetti M24 or any machine with MDA or Hercules graphics.
EDIT:
Issue is in file mem.c line 102:
loadfont("mda.rom", 0);
maybe should be:
loadfont("roms/mda.rom", 0);
