Re: unfinished PowerVR PCX emulation stub

LOL, even my RIVA TNT emulation is more complete. at least that does VESA, and somewhat tries to emulate the card.

Latest Arch Linux Live CD doesn't boot

While PCem-Experimental can boot the CD, but not the kernel, due to only emulating the Pentium, vanilla PCem fails to even boot the CD from the BIOS!

Re: FredPJ's feature suggestions

Well, I wrote the nVidia emulation, and I think that code is relatively clean. It can only do VESA though, as development has stalled at trying to get the Win9x drivers to work. I tried submitting that code to you in the past, but you rejected it after seemingly barely looking at it. That's why I st...

Re: v10 released!

The two AMI BIOS'es only support PS/2 mouse, but PCem gives the Advanced/EV a serial mouse, hence why it doesn't detect it. And yes, for some reason, some PCem crashes can be nasty. Especially when 64-bit PCem for Windows crashes, it will slow down the entire host input event handler until it is fo...

Re: ati VGA Edge-16 test 800x600x16 colour mode failure

This appears to be a case of Windows programming some weird register to specify the SVGA display height that PCem doesn't take into account. It fails in MS-DOS too... so it's something about this ATI mode. I guess somewhere in vid_svga? No, it would be in the ATI-specific source file. Remember, eac...

So far, this code only supports VESA 1.0 modes and banked VESA 2.0 modes. I'm guessing that this will probably be enough for DOS games at least. THIS WILL NOT WORK ON WINDOWS 95.
