[BUG] CGA and MDA modes do not work on Tseng ET4000

Post by ppgrainbow »

Has anyone confirmed this?

There is a bug involving the emulated Tseng Labs. ET4000 on PCem. I'm using a utility that came with the emulated Tseng ET4000 card called the Diagnostic Test Program (TVDIAG.EXE), a utility that tests the ability to select VGA, EGA, CGA or MDA modes. The VGA and EGA modes work, however when I try to select either CGA or MDA modes, I get this:

I don't know if the same issue happens on real hardware, but this needs to be fixed.

(On a side note, when the Tseng ET4000 is emulated on DOSBox, the CGA and MDA modes do work although I haven't thoroughly tested it.)

Hardware Tested
AMI386 based on the OPTI-495SX chipset
4 MB RAM
Tseng ET4000 w/1 MB display RAM
