[Patch] PC200 and PC1512: Hardware font and monitor selection
This patch adds support for the multiple hardware fonts supported by the PC1512 and PC200 built-in video adapters, and mono/colour monitor options for these systems.

This replaces the above patch - it fixes a crash (when changing to the built-in adapter from an add-on) and adds emulation of the PPC512 with its LCD screen.

I can't get the MDA and LCD MDA modes to work, it only sees a blinking cursor.

Oops. Missed amstrad.c out of the patch. Here's a supplementary patch for that file (basically adding PPC512 checks to the existing PC200 checks).

That LCD screen looks quite authentic. Nice job
Re: [Patch] PC200 and PC1512: Hardware font and monitor selection
Are you sure this also fixes the LCD MDA/normal MDA configurations? I still get a blinking cursor on a green background, or maybe I haven't applied the patch properly.

Re: [Patch] PC200 and PC1512: Hardware font and monitor selection
I've just tested with the following sequence of commands (where 3a9af.orig holds the baseline code) and got a build where MDA monitor and MDA LCD work:
Code: Select all
mkdir 3a9af.ppc512
cd 3a9af.ppc512
cp -a ../3a9af.orig/* .
patch -p1 < ../ppc512.patch
patch -p1 < ../ppc512fix.patch
autoreconf
./configure
make

Committed at rev 1215. I fixed a couple of config bugs and added the PC200/PPC disc change line while I was at it.
