- Happy new year!
- Improved pixel format conversion in host-to-screen operations.
- Rewrite of the linear framebuffer read/write code fixes icons in 16 bpp mode.
- Don't flood log file when polling the 2D status register (similar to 3D one).
- FIXME list:
- Minor issues in all Banshee modes (e.g. forward/back buttons in explorer).
- Display errors in 16 bpp mode after leaving 3D mode.
- Display errors in 16 bpp mode in case debug messages are turned on (timing).
- Voodoo2 3D demo "donut" still fails.
- Bochs crashes on Windows host (MSVC in some cases, MSYS2 64-bit build also
reported, but not yet reproduced.
- TODO list:
- Remaining 2D stuff: polygon fill, stretching functions.
- Move Banshee stuff to separate files.
- Add Voodoo3 support (it's an improved Banshee card).
- Simplified register writes from CMDFIFO using new methods in the new classes.
- Started work on reset() and continued work on save/restore support.
- Mention the Banshee model in the Bochs documentation.
bx_voodoo_base_c that contains the shared code and the new classes
bx_voodoo_1_2_c and bx_banshee_c with the specific implementations. There are
not functional changes yet. TODO: The Banshee specific stuff could be moved to
separate files, but should still remain in the same plugin as Voodoo 1/2.
- Fixed alignment for unpacked monochrome source data in case the calculated
required amount of data for one row is more than the given source pitch.
In even rows the leftmost pixel comes from the LSB bit #7 as expected.
In odd rows the whole row is aligned to the next dword boundary (the rightmost
pixel comes from the MSB bit #0). This alternating alignment is not documented,
but fixes some bitmaps (e.g. Win95 login / logout dialogs).
- Fixed calculation of host-to-screen data size for the pixel alignment > 0 and
color depth > 8.
- Added minimal support for pixel format conversion (32/24 to 16).
- Also set the "Banshee busy" flag if one of the CMDFIFOs is busy.
- Fixed CMDFIFO error message condition.
- Tiled source pitch is only used for screen-to-screen operations.
- Use the CMDFIFO wakeup on vertical retrace only for the 3D mode.
- Report screen mode change (2D, 3D, mixed).
- Added BX_ERRORs for currently unsupported pixel format conversion.
- Only continue bitblt operation if width and height is > 0 after clipping.
- Temporary hack: Processing CMDFIFO packets directly after completion fixes
some display issues (FIXME: 3D mode should work like Voodoo2).
- Handling variable 'gui_update_pending' like Voodoo 1/2 fixes 3D display
flicker. Simplified first stage of the update() code. Some 3D display issues
still need to be investigated.
- Added missing 16-bit write support in 3D memory space.
- Added separate method for linear FB writes und use it for CMDFIFO packet type
5, destination code 0. Added minimal "byte disable" support in this code.
- Added Banshee specific registers in register_w() since they use the same
addresses as the Voodoo2 CMDFIFO config registers in register_w_common().
Now the fullscreen 3D mode is basicly working. The display flickers sometimes
and the desktop is possibly unusable after leaving 3D mode. This may be
caused by the still incorrect CMDFIFO implementation.
- Split the host-to-screen method in two ones: one for the pattern case (ternary
ROPs) and one optimized for the standard case (binary ROPs).
- Improved the foreground/background color handling for bitblt operations.
- Prepared update() code for 3D support (not yet working).
- Attempt to fix the LFB base address.
- CMDFIFO packet type 5: Added support for destination code 0 (linear FB).
