Re: No support for texturesize of 1024, falling back to surface

DOSBox just isn't going to work properly with a physical voodoo card, no matter what you do.

Probably just needs a few power supply capacitors replaced, all the old 4:3 dell flat screens are reaching this stage of their life.

It will be a limitation of the adapter you are using, overriding the edid won't enable it to handle higher resolutions.

No, it was completely software rendered using SDL 1.2. The only "acceleration" was rendering directly as 8bpp (paletted texture).

Re: repne/repnz movsw: Invalid instruction prefix mystery
Posted on 2019-08-21, 06:51
That is incorrect. repe/repne do not check the initial value of the Z flag, it is only checked after the string instruction updates it. For instructions that don't update the flags, repe and repne act identically (both as plain rep).

Technically replacing F2 A5 with F3 A5 would be correct because the former is undefined, but intel/amd aren't likely to change behaviour of it because it's been mistakenly used in a lot of MBR code.
Re: repne/repnz movsw: Invalid instruction prefix mystery
Posted on 2019-08-20, 09:40
Note that repe uses the same prefix as rep (0xF3), so the given example wouldn't work as expected. Regardless the repe/repne prefixes only check the Z flag when the string instruction updates the flags (only the count register is tested before the first execution) so if the flags are never updated …

There are normally some 470uf caps that you will want to replace as well as the remaining 1000uf caps (not just the ones that are obviously defective). Otherwise the same issue will reoccur.
Re: Strange behaviour from SD to IDE adapter
Posted on 2019-08-16, 13:54
That's not going to help if there is data corruption occurring, as shown by the filename inconsistencies. Try it on a different machine, if the same thing happens throw it in the bin. SD2IDE and SD2SATA adapters always seem to be poor quality unless you spend big bucks.

Well monitoring (to detect activity and prevent the system suspending) I can understand. It makes a lot more sense than waking.

There's jumpers to select between VLB/ISA video, did you adjust them when testing with the ISA card?
