Prepared "biosdetect" option in the harddrv code.
TODO #1: Add support for a comma-separated list of BIOS options.
TODO #2: Implement support for at least "biosdetect=none" in the Bochs BIOS.
- Added new logfunctions method warn() similar to ask().
- Added new siminterface method log_warn() similar to log_ask().
- Modified sdl2, wx and win32 ask dialog to make it usable for warnings.
- On X11 use the new message box dialog to display warnings.
- Some related changes in the logio and siminterface code.
by Ben Lunt. To connect a USB floppy you can use the 'floppy' device with the
path to the image separated with a colon. VVFAT is also supported.
FIXME: The device detection fails on some recent Linux distributions.
FIXME: Only 1.44M media format is currently supported.
TODO: Media change without disconnect is not implemented yet.
- Implemented wave and midi output using the 'soundfile' driver.
- Implemented dual midi/wave output in midimode/wavemode 3.
- Removed now obsolete output file handling and other cleanups.
- The wave input (recording) and OPL3 output features are not affected by
the wavemode setting.
- TODO: Similar rewrite of ES1370 wave output and related cleanups.
- waveout: added support for RIFF WAVE format and raw output. The formats
'voc' and 'wav' are detected by file extension, raw output is used otherwise.
- midiout: added support for raw midi output (no header, no deltatime).
The 'mid' format is detected by file extension, raw output is used otherwise.
- Added 'midiout' parameter to the global sound option to specify the device
if necessary. The related SB16 parameter now only specifies the output file.
- TODO: Rewrite of the sound configuration and output code to support dual
output (device and file).
The timers now have a new member 'realtime' and they are driven by the
selected engine. The VGA update timer and the status LED timer now always use
the realtime mode, but the PIT and CMOS RTC depend on the clock options.
Notes by Ben:
This emulates a NEC/Renesas uPD720202 2-port (2 socket, 4-port register sets)
Root Hub xHCI Host Controller.
Many, many thanks to Renesas for their work and effort in helping my research.
I have tested in with my own tests and WinXP Home Edition SP3.
Use port1 and port2 to emulate a Super-speed device, and use port3 and port4
to emulate Low-, Full-, or High-speed devices.
NOTE: The Windows driver for this device uses a proprietary detection
mechanism and we don't have the permission to implement it. That's why it only
works fine with non-Windows guests.
- removed max_packet_size member from USB device structure
- usb_uhci: improved speed info
- updated USB-related documentation
- TODO: review and test the main part of the xHCI changes by Ben
- added 'voodoo' option description to the docs
- several updates and improvements in the mouse and disk image sections
- TODO: 5 &FIXME; entries still remaining in the user doc
required an external binary and it couldn't be ported to Windows. Now the new
builtin and portable slirp support based on Qemu's implementation is almost
stable and all the 'vnet' DHCP and TFTP features have been ported to the new
slirp module.
TODO: rename all the "slirp_new" stuff to "slirp"
- ALSA stuff moved from soundlnx.* to new soundalsa.* files
- SB16 / ES1370: including specific sound driver headers not necessary
- updated dependencies
- added parameters 'wavemode' and 'wavefile' to the 'es1370' option
- ES1370: added new method sendwavepacket() (similar to SB16)
- moved VOC file methods from sb16.cc to soundmod.cc and added macros for them
- SB16: minor fixes
