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
* ported the read part of the Qemu vvfat block driver
* added win32 specific directory functions (required for MSVC)
* TODO: write support, FAT32 support, read MBR and boot sector from file
- siminterface: added helper method hdimage_get_mode()
- moved hdimage related stuff from harddrv.cc to the hdimage code
- changed hdimage related names
the SF patch #1539417, but rewritten from scratch (patch too old). Differences
to the original version:
* internal parameter name "readonly"
* update parameter if floppy image is readonly
* wxWidgets support
* documentation updates
* no specific toolbar buttons
