with the host time. After using a runtime config dialog or save and restore
simulation, this behaviour makes the PIT clock and the VGA update timer
running way too fast until it's back in sync. Now the elapsed time is stored
in the variable 'real_time_delay' and it is used to let the PIT clock run at
realtime speed, even if it is out of sync.
- fixed size entries in bitmap file header for 8 bpp
- bx_param_filename_c now uses the file extension from the initial value as
the default (if present)
- SIM->ask_filename() now uses the correct parameter type
- win32paramdlg AskFilename(): added filter for BMP files
grabbed from SDL 1.2)
- TODO: implement this feature in other display libraries and add a key repeat generator in the
keyboard code that uses the typematic values from the guest.
Selecting CPU MODEL from .bochsrc automatically chooses real HW CPUID and also configures Bochs emulator to emulate this specific CPU including all its features only.
Supported CPUs to choose from:
core2_extreme_x9770
corei7_sandy_bridge_2600K
p4_prescott_celeron_336
parameters (path + status) have been set. TODO: implement this feature for the floppy, too.
- call update_drive_status_buttons() from update_runtime_options() to reduce the number of calls.
Now call update_runtime_options() from the gui floppy / cdrom handlers after closing dialog.
The patch was posted in mailing list at Thu 6/16/2011.
Desription for CHANGES:
- Memory
- Added new configure option which enables RAM file backing for large guest
memory with a smaller amount host memory, without causing a panic when
host memory is exhausted (patch by Gary Cameron). To enable configure with
--enable-large-ramfile option.
* moved runtime handlers for cdrom from config.cc to the device object
* cd media status variable is now always of type bx_bool
* changed obsolete gui names like "cdromD" to "cdrom1"
* TODO: implement new runtime config mechanism similar to USB
each other. Devices can register a handler to update it's state after runtime
configuration. The new method update_runtime_options() executes all registered
device handlers before the simulation continues.
- USB host controllers now using the new mechanism to handle the runtime device
change (replaces the previous timer-based implementation). TODO: floppy and
cdrom could use this feature, too)
- improved USB device change messages
DAC2 is sent to the lowlevel sound module. DAC1 and sound input (ADC) are not
yet supported. Also unsupported: CODEC (mixer), UART (MIDI) and legacy support.
Sound module selection in configure script now no longer depends on SB16 and
uses autodetection only.
- fixed segfault when saving bochsrc
