Testing the sdl12 with async window handling in Windows 10 (with different output modes). Systems and drivers may vary, but it is stabler where reverting "Move DIB window parent shutdown to SQL_Quit". Also, the alt-tab function hasn't worked before or after this improvement. Windowed 3dfx/gl mode …

Thanks for showing the results. Also, is it possible to significantly improve the performance of pcem's interpreter cpu core like in dosbox's normal core.

I read the recent commit for improvements to the video timing. I would like to verify that a S3 video device shows a greater time to read than write to the pci bus. video_timing_read_b = (int)(bus_timing * 25); video_timing_read_w = (int)(bus_timing * 25); video_timing_read_l = (int)(bus_timing * 40 …

In a version of Warcraft 2 for DOS, PCem's S3 devices lead to squashed video in the emulated screen. Tested with serial mouse (ctmouse) and sbpro sound. This alternate UniVBE VESA driver fixes this issue: https://web.archive.org/web/20060118061752/ht … dd/univbe67.exe

A Raspberry Pi port of mame (and its derivatives) target versions 0.37b5 and 0.106. I think the 0.106 could be tested, or modified if necessary, for Windows 98. The 0.106 version is also used by the more recent versions of advmame which has some Windows binary and also a DOS version. The DOS version …

Does it interrupt gameplay soon after starting? I recall briefly testing it with serial mouse but no mouse driver loaded in DOS, so used keyboard arrows for movement, in a recent pcem version.

Tested further with Descent 3 demo. With the mouse and joystick code active in pcem, the demo has shown keyboard errors such as a phantom pressing of the 'shift key'. Confirmed that this is a bug in the demo itself, and not related to the emulation. Presumably this was fixed in full version. The …

Since you don't have the original checksums to compare against the archive or the images, then it would be reasonable to verify that all images open and show files in dosbox (or 7zip although some valid images may not open). Could test a few that there files are intact. That provides a reasonable …

I set ide=false, but perhaps it is still active? Isolated the issue between 4/5/15 and 5/30/15. The latter has the repeated logs.

MesaFX supports OpenGL for input and 3dfx Voodoo for output. However, there is also a direct3d6 option in Mesa 3.4.2. This may be worth testing whether it reliably sends the opengl instructions of zdoom-CL to a direct3d6 device. I also don't know whether it is possible to port this same direct3d …
