- 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, ...
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.
- Voodoo: Use the VGA/Cirrus timers to drive the gui screen update.
The vertical retrace emulation is still driven by a separate timer.
- VGA/Cirrus: Since we are using the virtual timer, we also have to read
time_usec() from it.
- vgacore: removed unused timer methods.
- prepared hRetrace value implementation (cannot be enabled yet, since the
driver passes this test and gets confused in next stage (segfault).
- Detect CMDFIFO access (not present yet).
- Report disabling Voodoo graphics mode.
- TODO #1: Fix Voodoo2 to make it usable.
- TODO #2: Split update code and drive gui screen updates from the VGA timer
(finally remove new realtime option again).
- Since we are using the virtual timer, so we have to read time_usec()
from it, too (TODO: realtime mode is hardcoded, maybe add an option).
- Voodoo1 and Voodoo2 have different timing register widths.
- Fixed vertical retrace value returned by get_retrace().
- Prepared separate hvRetrace register (TODO: hRetrace).
- Store the Voodoo model in structure bx_voodoo_t.
- The PCI initEnable register of the Voodoo2 model has a read-only secondary
revision ID in bits 12..15. Now the Voodoo2 is correctly detected by the
Windows driver, but display is not yet working (blank screen).
- Reset now disables VGA override.
- PCI: Moved PCI device base class methods to the end of file devices.cc and
re-define LOG_THIS to use the correct log module and prefix.
bx_devmodel_c. The early version of the combined vga / svga_cirrus code
required the now obsolete implementation. Some related cleanups in the
devices code.
- Since the pci_read_handler() method is identical in most devices, move it
to the base class to reduce code duplication. Only the 'pcidev' device has
it's own implementation (NOTE: it is not maintained yet).
- Minor other fixes and cleanups in some PCI devices.
- renamed trigger_timer() methods to refresh_display()
- new argument 'redraw' added to force a refresh of the entire screen
(used in snapshot mode)
- siminterface method refresh_vga() now checks if the Bochs gui init is complete
- use SIM->refresh_vga() in some more cases
- graphics_tile_info() split into a common and specific part
- store snapshot mode in structure bx_svga_tileinfo_t
- in snapshot mode, display adapters copy raw data to buffer
- rewrite of the trigger_timer() code to make it work in all cases
- added new class bx_nonvga_device_c to make forwarding refresh requests to the
Voodoo adapter possible
is based on a patch originally designed for DOSBox. Currently only the Voodoo1
adapter model can be emulation. The emulation is currently slow, but we intend
to clean up and optimize the code. Running the 3D engine in a separate thread
is also planned. To compile with Voodoo support the configure option
"--enable-voodoo" must be used. Then the device can be activated with
"plugin_ctrl: voodoo=1" in bochsrc or on the command line. The device will be
assigned automatically to a PCI slot unless you do that manually. A specific bochsrc
option to select the adapter model will be added when the code has support for it.
