|
||||
- New graphics cards - IBM EGA, Diamond Stealth 32 (ET4000/W32p), Paradise Bahamas 64 (S3 Vision864)
|
||||
- IDE hard disc emulation. This replaces the old INT 13 trapping emulation on all models. For machines
|
||||
which don't natively have IDE support, the XTIDE board is emulated. See the readme file for details.

- Major improvements to floppy disc emulation - fixed occasional disc corruption, works with OS/2 and Linux
|
||||
- ATAPI identify command now returns an ATAPI version, Win95 native CD-ROM drivers now work.
|
||||

|
||||
- Major internal changes to graphics emulation
|
||||
- Major internal changes to memory and IO emulation
|
||||
- Many other changes
|
||||

Olivetti M24 - CGA with double-res text modes and a 640x400 mode. I haven't seen a dump of the font
|
||||
ROM for this yet, so if one is not provided the MDA font will be used - which looks slightly odd
|
||||
as it is 14-line instead of 16-line.

|

OPL3 with YM318Z 12-bit digital section. Possibly some bugs (not a lot of software to test).
|
||||
|
||||
Sound Blaster
|
||||
Several Sound Blasters are emulated :
|
||||
SB v1.0 - The original. Limited to 22khz, and no auto-init DMA (can cause crackles sometimes).
|
||||
SB v1.5 - Adds auto-init DMA
|
||||
SB v2.0 - Upped to 41khz
|
||||
SB Pro v1.0 - Stereo, with twin OPL2 chips.
|
||||
SB Pro v2.0 - Stereo, with OPL 3 chip
|
||||
SB 16 - 16 bit stereo
|
||||
All are set to Address 220, IRQ 7 and DMA 1 (and High DMA 5). IRQ and DMA can be changed for the
|
||||
SB16.
|
||||
The relevant SET line for autoexec.bat is
|
||||
SET BLASTER = A220 I7 D1 Tx - where Tx is T1 for SB v1.0, T3 for SB v2.0, T4 for SB Pro,
|
||||
and T6 for SB16.
|
||||
The SB16 software seems to work (including Windows drivers), but you must stick to these settings.
|
||||
SB AWE32 - SB 16 + wavetable MIDI. This requires a ROM dump from a real AWE32.
|
||||
All are set to Address 220, IRQ 7 and DMA 1 (and High DMA 5). IRQ and DMA can be changed for the
|
||||
SB16 & AWE32 in the drivers.
|
||||
The relevant SET line for autoexec.bat is
|
||||
SET BLASTER = A220 I7 D1 Tx - where Tx is T1 for SB v1.0, T3 for SB v2.0, T4 for SB Pro,
|
||||
and T6 for SB16.
|
||||
|
||||
Gravis Ultrasound - 32 voice sample playback. PCem's emulation of this is a bit preliminary :
|
||||
- Only older ULTRASND setup programs work, ie text mode instead of graphics (3.xx?)
|
||||
- MIDI playback occasionally goes wrong
|
||||
- 16-bit playback only uses top 8 bits of samples
|
||||
- Some games, eg later versions of Epic Pinball, have no music
|
||||
- No stereo
|
||||
- Some clicking in sound output
|
||||
- Does work well in lots of stuff though, eg Worms, Pinball Fantasies, Zone 66 etc.
|
||||
- Settings are hardwired to Address 240, IRQ 5, DMA 3. The relevant SET line for autoexec.bat is
|
||||
SET ULTRASND=240,3,3,5,12
|
||||
This means unlike on a real board, you don't have to run a init program on bootup for sound
|
||||
to work. You do need to install the ULTRAMID patches if you want MIDI.
|
||||
AWE32 requires a ROM dump called awe32.raw. AWE-DUMP is a utility which can get a dump from a real
|
||||
card. Most EMU8000 functionality should work, however filters are not correct and reverb/chorus
|
||||
effects are not currently emulated.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Gravis Ultrasound
|
||||
32 voice sample playback. Port address is fixed to 240, IRQ and DMA can be changed from the drivers.
|
||||
Emulation is improved significantly over previous versions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Windows Sound System
|
||||
16-bit digital + OPL3. Note that this only emulates WSS itself, and should not be used with drivers
|
||||
from compatible boards with additional components (eg Turtle Beach Monte Carlo)

@ -380,12 +500,11 @@ Notes :
|

- Windows 3.x should work okay in all modes now.
|
||||
|
||||
- Windows 95/98 run, with the following caveats :
|
||||
- Mouse is not detected. Strangely, it still works - except during setup, when it stops working at one point.
|
||||
Sometimes running the 'Add New Hardware' wizard a couple of times will find it.
|
||||
- The default Trident driver only allows 16 and 256 colour modes. There is an alternative driver which enables
|
||||
high and true colour modes, but it doesn't work with DirectX.
|
||||
- Setup sometimes crashes in the first stage (during file copying). This appears to be a side effect of the
|
||||
bugs fixed making OS/2 work. Unfortunately I haven't been able to eliminate this issue.
|
||||
- On some versions of Windows the AWE32 is not set up correctly, claiming a resource conflict. To correct
|
||||
this open the relevant item in Device Manager, choose 'Set Configuration Manually' and accept the

options presented.
