Re: Core 2 Duo/Pentium Dual Core systems working fine with many speed sensitive DOS games.... what's going on?!

PCPBench starts to fall to bits (when testing the LFB modes) once it gets over 70fps, with partially rendered scenes being displayed and if you watch really carefully you can see it printing "divide by zero" errors at the top of the screen before redrawing over it.

It uses FILD to load 7 and 0x1234567890abcdee into floating point registers then performs FPREM to find the remainder (mod). Those are FPU instructions, not integer.

Don't extract the disks, keep them as images and mount them all using imgmount. You can then switch between them using ctrl-F4.

Irq 2/9 + 330 mpu Irg5/dma1+5/220= sb16 plus mpu at 300 Network at Irq 10 io 340 (Card reports error Double usage when setting to 320 though)?!!! It's not just the base address that matters. NE2000 cards use 32 I/O ports so if you set the base to 320 it would occupy all addresses between 320->340 …

MSD doesn't know what devices are configured for which IRQs, it only shows what software (or driver) has hooked each request.

GP2x is old32-bit ARM, 64-bit ARM (aarch64) is practically a completely different CPU with a new instruction set and registers. Not like x86_64 where they just bolted extra stuff onto regular x86.

Then it makes no sense that DOSBox would be returning different results on systems that use different FPU emulation (integers don't get processed using FPU instructions).

I have a wii version of one of these. Plugged it into a USB midi cable to check it out, it's pretty nifty. The piano keys send note-on/note-off events with velocity sensing. The "2" and "A" buttons function like patch+/patch- buttons, sending program change events. The "1" and "B" buttons shift the …

It would work fine if your compiler actually treated it as an integer instead of a floating-point value, but I guess being a variant of Basic it treats everything as doubles.
Re: How do I see other partitions on my MSDOS Compact Flash when plugged into my WIN7 card reader?

Windows will show/mount other partitions. It just never creates a partition table itself on non-HDD removable storage.

You mentioned mounting, is this under real DOS or DOSBox?
Re: Pentium MMX emulation patch

There shouldn't be any need for a dyn_mmx_check function, just use dh_fpu_startup instead.
Re: Pentium MMX emulation patch
Posted on 2020-06-24, 16:15
I think that's a bit of a mess at the moment. When X86_DYNFPU_DH_ENABLED is defined and the dyn_x86 core is active, it saves/restores the x87 state when it enters/exits the dynamic code (to the dyn_dh_fpu struct) but never actually copies everything back to the global FPU_rec struct. So TL;DR: you …

That usage of decode_fetchb_imm() looks suspicious, although unlikely to cause a problem unless it's a frequently modified instruction.
