- unknown module names now cause a panic
- added log function names to some more devices
- TODO: find a way to configure log actions by device in the config interface
start menu (most of the devices do not exist at this point)
invalid module names, save log actions to bochsrc)
- added new member 'name' to the logfunctions class for the case the prefix
is too short. Added to some devices with longer names.
to update the status text if there is really a change
- changed the counter resolution to 5 (auto-off still happens after 0.5 seconds)
- the element value -1 is only used to reset the LEDs, so we have to ignore the
status flags
existing "iolight timer" code in the hard drive code. If an LED is registered
with the "auto-off" flag, the device only needs to turn on the LED to indicate
data transfer. The LED timer in the gui code turns it off after 0.5 seconds if
it is not actived by another transfer. Added this feature to all network
devices.
- TODO #1: implement this feature in the USB host controllers
- TODO #2: the unused timer in the hard drive code could be used for the
emulation of seek functions
plugins is implemented in bochsrc, these functions can be used to install
additional options from the devices code. Then the whole init / parse / save
code for this device can be moved from config.cc to the device plugin.
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.
- fixed size entries in bitmap file header for 8 bpp
- bx_param_filename_c now uses the file extension from the initial value as
the default (if present)
- SIM->ask_filename() now uses the correct parameter type
- win32paramdlg AskFilename(): added filter for BMP files
grabbed from SDL 1.2)
- TODO: implement this feature in other display libraries and add a key repeat generator in the
keyboard code that uses the typematic values from the guest.
Selecting CPU MODEL from .bochsrc automatically chooses real HW CPUID and also configures Bochs emulator to emulate this specific CPU including all its features only.
Supported CPUs to choose from:
core2_extreme_x9770
corei7_sandy_bridge_2600K
p4_prescott_celeron_336
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.
The patch was posted in mailing list at Thu 6/16/2011.
Desription for CHANGES:
- Memory
- Added new configure option which enables RAM file backing for large guest
memory with a smaller amount host memory, without causing a panic when
host memory is exhausted (patch by Gary Cameron). To enable configure with
--enable-large-ramfile option.
