- TODO #1: move shared stuff (e.g. creating TOC for image file) to the base class
to fix the temporary code duplication
- TODO #2: remove ASPI code for raw cdrom access on Win 98/ME after release
and the supported ethernet modules
- renamed eth.* files to netmod.*
- pseudo-device plugin implementation similar to 'soundmod'
- TODO: move sound, net and usb stuff to a separate subdirectory of iodev
with the host time. After using a runtime config dialog or save and restore
simulation, this behaviour makes the PIT clock and the VGA update timer
running way too fast until it's back in sync. Now the elapsed time is stored
in the variable 'real_time_delay' and it is used to let the PIT clock run at
realtime speed, even if it is out of sync.
- added new method get_vga_pixel() that read the color value from EGA/VGA memory layout (moved from
display update code and now also used for snapshots)
- minor code cleanups
'vga_update_interval' option. The screen update frequency is still based on
the emulated clock unless the realtime sync is enabled with the 'clock' option.
TODO: rewrite the virt_timer code to support realtime screen updates
independent from 'clock' setting.
- fixed changing parameter 'update_freq' at runtime (timer object and blink counter)
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.
duplicate log prefixes on Windows if both IDE and USB cdroms are used in plugin mode. Windows also
requires the cdrom base class and the init_cdrom() method to link and work correctly.
- don't add reserved bitfields to the save/restore tree
- some fixes for big endian machines
- TODO: init max_packet_size in USB devices, find test case, ...
- added main source file usb_xhci.cc
- TODO: finsh work in register_state()
- TODO: USB devices: initialize max_packet_size
- TODO: test case for xHCI wanted
- using the same init() method for all display adapters
- new method protected init_standard_vga() for the shared vga core
- new method init_vga_extension() implements the extended features
- moved loading of vgabios image for the ISA case from main.cc to the vga init code
Sebastian Herbszt). TODO list:
- modify LGPL'd VGABIOS to make it work with SeaBIOS
- modify Bochs BIOS to set up the legacy address 0xc0000
- implement PCI ROM support in the cirrus device
- move load_ROM calls to the display adapter code to handle the ISA case
