In development since 2006, the first public release is out now, and soon to be open source: http://www.exodusemulator.com/ It currently emulates a Mega Drive, but more interestingly, it should be capable of emulating almost everything else: Exodus is a software program designed to allow real …

No, all it needs is the regular 486. Want me to send you a binary?

OK, I made a little program that requires an emulator to draw each pixel at a time to work correctly, and it only works on a 486-50. Since I do not have one, can somebody here test this, please? EDIT: Yes, there is cycle-counting involved. That is why there's so many NOP's.

That's probably because the PC has an enormously complicated architecture (even the 5150). So much so, that even on a Pentium 4, it would probably be slow as shit to emulate it all correctly. This is why JSLinux doesn't do the full PC.

I'm rewriting the emulator for v6! No, there's not anymore plugins. However, there is preliminary support for more CPU opcodes, the PIC, PIT, PPI, and even basic DMA support, although it does nothing at the moment. It's at the same code repo. Also, I've learned from my earlier mistakes. No longer am …

What about the interlacing feature?

Oh sorry, I thought the Build Engine did use that.

Well, I believe Mode X is supported, since Duke3D seems to work just fine. The others look good! Thanks! 😁

I'm currently attempting to help the MESS emulator's PC emulation. However, I need testcases. Anybody know of any games or demos using weird VGA features (or unsupported, either way, if it doesn't work, and uses the standard VGA, please post it here.)?

Huh. Sorry, it's not my fault, it's Github's fault, they made that site.

@feipoa OF COURSE IT IS! 486's are long obsolete! Doesn't mean we shouldn't emulate them, though... Also, PCDude v6 will have plugin support removed, due to the fact that it didn't work, and I couldn't get it to work. However, there will be improvements to PCDude made in v6, at least.

Well, the majority of the printf statements are for CPU instructions to tell what they are. On Unix, or heck, Windows, you can do pcdude > log.txt to divert all that to a log file. Also, there is preliminary I/O, and well, the closest emulator I could find that would suit me was Bochs, and honestly, …

Are you guys up to my challenge? Writing some plugins for the PC speaker, and CGA?

Thanks, that's fixed.

Hello. I may be new to this forum, but I've made an open-source wonder for you. Behold PCDude, the (possibly) first plugin-wielding PC emulator! It currently comes in 2 versions: v5 (no plugins), and v5.1 (full-on plugin support). Before continuing, though, I need help. Especially with plugins. You …
