- tile-based VBE graphics updates implemented
- "half mode" support added (line doubling for low resultions)
- change screen resolution only after re-enabling the video processor
"Voodoo VGA" framework. Most of the work is still to do.
- Added Banshee specific PCI write handler and related stuff. The device is
initialzed properly by the Bochs BIOS (mem, lfb, rom and i/o).
- With Banshee specific VGA BIOS it passes the init stage and boots properly
to DOS. Parts of the init code coming from file "voodoo.h.txt" (part of the
original patch).
- Standard VGA modes are all usable (using the Bochs VGA core).
- VBE graphics modes with 8, 16, 24 and 32 BPP are usable (VBE drawing code is
mostly copy&paste from the Bochs VBE code. DAC 6/8 bit switch is present.
- TODO list:
- Voodoo Banshee memory layout (registers, 2D, 3D, LFB, textures)
- 2D graphics engine must be written from scratch
- interaction between new device and existing 3D core
- non-VGA mode (Voodoo model "banshee" without VGA extension "voodoo")
- save/restore support, move Banshee stuff to separate file, ...
- Fixed missing bx_gui->flush() call after non-VGA update().
- Fixed a BX_DEBUG message in the Voodoo code.
- Re-define LOG_THIS for messages in the "Voodoo VGA" code.
currently only implements an ISA standard VGA adapter with the selected Voodoo
model as it's extension. The methods of the "Voodoo VGA" device only call the
required methods of the Voodoo or VGA core.
TODO: Start implementing the Voodoo Banshee chipset based on this code.
- Treat VGA extension name other than "none", "vbe" or "cirrus" as a VGA
compatible device plugin and try to load it.
- Added new plugin type PLUGTYPE_VGA for such a plugins (interally handled like
a core plugin).
- Added panic in devices init for the case no VGA compatible plugin is present.
- Added new method vga_redraw_area() that handles the non-VGA and null size
case. The specific method redraw_area() is called otherwise.
- Moved init_systemtimer() call from extension code to init_standard_vga().
- TODO: Implement VGA subsystem in the Voodoo code to test the new feature.
Voodoo Banshee 2D accelerator code needs to be written to make this really
useful.
- Added support for setting memory write handler to NULL (ROM case).
- Added new PCI device method after_restore_pci_state(). It currently handles
the PCI ROM case only (could be extended).
- Moved VGA timer handler to the VGA core and handle the non-VGA case there.
It calls the specific update() code and finally bx_gui->flush().
- Moved the VGA update frequency parameter handler and the refresh_disply()
method to the VGA core.
- Store the VGA extension parameter in the VGA core.
- Voodoo: Fixed graphics snapshot.
- Fixed probing the CMDFIFO with Voodoo output disabled (send FIFO wakeup
directly, otherwise driven by vertical retrace).
- Use the CMDFIFO member 'enabled' instead of reading the fbiInit7 register bit.
- TODO: The Voodoo2 freeze when testing a Voodoo1 demo is still not fixed.
- voodoo_init() must be called after initializing FIFO mutex.
- The 'op_pending' counter must be reset after resetting FIFOs.
- Fixed an MSVC warning and removed obsolete comment.
- FIXME: There are still some conditions that can freeze the Voodoo display.
it's 64 entries is still not present, since it makes the emulation a few
percent slower due to the overhead of the FIFO code. The memory FIFO has 64k
entries and makes a speedup of around 75 % possible.
- usb_msd.cc: The Device Qualifier is valid for high speed devices only.
- uhci_core.cc: Don't report BX_DEBUG message if the current TD belongs to an
async operation that is still not complete.
- Now using float type for the 'clk0_freq' variable.
- DAC register 6 can switch to half pixel clock (ported from PCem).
- Writing value 0xf8 to PLL register 0x0e completes clock #0 setup.
non-WIN32 platforms instead of BX_MSLEEP(). The donut demo is once again a
little bit slower, but on other tests the IPS values are still okay. Cleaned
up the code a little bit and added save/restore stuff for the new code.
packets and then always sleep for 1 millisecond.
TODO: The first tests with pthread_cond_* stuff showed a slowdown of approx.
10 % compared with the IPS value of the current code.
command and execute it when there is enough data present (code partly ported
from voodoo.h.txt).
TODO: Use "wait for event / condition" functions instead of msleep() if there
is a performance improvement with it.
- Added DNS service support for the server "vnet" and connected clients.
- Added command line option "-loglev=" to control whether or not there is
BX_ERROR, BX_INFO or BX_DEBUG output. Default value is 1 (BX_ERROR only).
variables again to let the threads end normally. Re-implenented the method
closewaveoutput() for some modules, move the destructor code to it and call it
after leaving the mixer thread. This fixes a deadlock in the "soundwin" module
if Bochs is compiled with plugin support.
- usb_common: init_device() now splits device name and primary option before
detecting device type.
- usb_hub: now completely handle port option in constructor.
- plugin.h: removed obsolete defines.
- Removed "pseudo device plugin" containing common code and all connectable
USB devices.
- Moved USB device base class and module handling to the Bochs core.
Now loading USB device plugins in usb_common.cc.
- Created separate plugins for each USB device implementation.
- Modified Bochs plugin system to support new plugin type PLUGTYPE_USBDEV.
- Added entries for the non-plugin case similar to the network and sound stuff.
- Modified win32 thread macros to use the handle instead of the id.
- Added new macro BX_THREAD_KILL to terminate threads.
Voodoo thread changes:
- Let the cmdfifo_thread sleep while the CMDFIFO is disabled.
- Kill the cmdfifo_thread in destructor and removed old thread control code.
- Added capability to save/restore float type values in paramtree / siminterface.
- Added Voodoo2 triangle generator data to save/restore list.
- Implemented bitBLT function "SGRAM fill".
- Minor other changes and cleanups.
- TODO: remaining bitBLT functions, thread handling improvements.
voodoo.h.txt which was a part of the original voodoo patch for DOSBox.
Some Voodoo2 specific parts were not integrated in the main patch file. I guess
they have been removed since Voodoo2 support was incomplete (2D stuff missing).
TODO: Voodoo2 2D support (bitblt engine), more testing, code cleanup...
- Added CMDFIFO thread similar to the sound output thread.
- split register write function in 2 functions: register_w_common() handles
the CMDFIFO writes and valid registers in CMDFIFO mode. It forwards write
accesses to other registers to register_w() (Voodoo1 and non-CMDFIFO mode).
The CMDFIFO thread also calls register_w() when processing data.
- The CMDFIFO thread processes all data, but it does not yet execute type 3
requests (extended triangle generator missing).
- TODO #1: implement Voodoo2 specific triangle functions (for CMDFIFO).
- TODO #2: implement 2D bitblt engine.
