Re: MartyPC

in PC Emulation
Another question for the long run: is it possible to configure GLaBIOS somehow to skip the RAM check. I reboot MartyPC quit often, and waiting for the RAM check is boring 😀.

Re: MartyPC

I hope I'm allowed to attach an EXE file, let's see... (Note the code is a bit Q&D, but the loop setting the colour should be fairly optimal.)

Re: MartyPC

in PC Emulation
Ok, I've finally managed to create a working example of both changing the colour (in 640 mode) mid-frame, and switching to 320 mode. One thing that I notice is that MartyPC, as opposed to a my NuXT with ATi Small Wonder, seems to apply changes per 8 lines or thereabouts, at least the jitter I get …

Re: MartyPC

in PC Emulation
A few days ago I had this short conversation with Trixter, and it seems that changes to 03D8 and 03D9 are instantaneous, making it possible to switch 640x200 mono and 320x200 4-color modes on the fly mid-screen. No DOS program ever used that, to my knowledge (I was triggered by this since Elite for …

Thanks. What I started with was a plain text file with most of the book's content, though many source listings were missing (and the images, though some were recreated with ASCII art). I then lent the book in the Archive.org's library, and created HTML with styling to match the books styling and …

There's a lot of info on the PC gfx cards in this book I digitized a while ago (hence the obscure URL). It includes Hercules and its successors. JAL

Re: MartyPC

in PC Emulation
Multiple window support would be really great in combination with MDA/Hercules emulation, as many developers had both MDA and CGA back in the days, for easy debugging on one monitor (MDA) and the output on CGA (of course, with a built-in debugger that's less of a concern, but hard-core Turbo …

Re: MartyPC

Not at this time; but I can add an option for startup window scaling. It will try to double the emulated video card's resolution if it will fit on your monitor. This was convenient for me since I always have a bunch of debug windows open and need the space; I recognize it is less convenient for …
