cdrom: convert Mode 1 Form 1 sectors to Mode 1 raw if requested
[R. Belmont]
Added byuu's cothread library, along with a wrapper class. Switched to
using one cothread for each executable device. This functionality is
strictly internal and should result in no changes in scheduling
behavior. However, it now becomes possible to exit out of a device's
execution in the midst of an instruction by calling
machine().scheduler().make_active(). Note that this is somewhat
dangerous for cores that have logic at the start of their execute loop
to check for interrupts or other conditions, as those checks will be
skipped upon resume, so consider this sort of early exiting to be
highly experimental for now. [Aaron Giles, Miodrag Milanovic, byuu]
(Please Note: cothread usage is behind a compile-time define as per now,
they will be reenabled in the next dev cycle)
Convert Namco C352 to modern C++ device [R. Belmont]

i86: fix initial CS on reset [Alex Jackson]
memory: Change the gc into a refcounter, for speed reasons.
[O. Galibert]
Fix inverted check on anonymous timers prior to saving state. Also fix
bug where we fail to ignore the permanent non-expiring anonymous
timer. Added code to log timers, and we now log them at each save
attempt as well as at restore time. Should fix most recent save state
releated regressions. [Aaron Giles]

- Modernised internal memory map;
- MDEC is now an internal device of the PlayStation CPU;
- Root counter & Serial I/O converted to internal CPU devices;
- Moved PlayStation IRQ code to sub device of the CPU;
Switch input ports to use function-based constructors instead of
tokens. Remove the old tokenizing helpers. Add basic classes for
ports, fields, settings, and dip locations as a first step. These will
be fully cleaned up later. Added machine() method to field to hide all
the necessary indirection. Changed custom/changed handlers into
generic read/write handlers, and added wrappers to convert them to
device read/write lines. [Aaron Giles]
Changed input read/write and crosshair callbacks into delegates.
Changed signature for callbacks to take an input_field_config
reference instead of pointer. [Aaron Giles]
Removed legacy trampolines from eeprom_device, taking advantage of new
input port support for delegates. [Aaron Giles]
mc6845.c: Converted to C++. [Wilbert Pol]
Fixed the disassembly of the "mov ax, mem" instructions (opcodes A0-
A3) in the i386 and NEC disassemblers. The argument (the memory
address) was being displayed as a signed number, which doesn't make
any sense. [Alex Jackson]
Fixed a tiny bug with the debugger hex dump command: the printable
characters in ASCII range from 32 to 12*6*, not 127. [Alex Jackson]
Fixed input regression with Racin' Force, allowing it to boot again
[Angelo Salese]
Gave labels to many inputs in Midway's T, Wolf and Y Unit games as
well as CPS1 and CPS3. [Joe Caporale]
Implemented experimental HLSL post-processing support on Direct3D 9
targets. [Ryan Holtz, Bat Country Entertainment]
* 5-pass post-processing: Upscale, Post-Process, Store Last Frame,
Defocus 1, Defocus 2
* Many tunable effects including: Scanlines, defocus, linear
deconvergence, radial deconvergence, pincushion, RGB colorspace
convolution, YIQ colorspace convolution, saturation, simulated dot
crawl, simulated chroma subsampling, aperture masking, and more.
* Requires a GPU that supports Shader Model 3.0 to be enabled and a
powerful GPU, the entire pipeline consists of approximately 30
texel fetches and approximately 230 arthimetic ops.
* Will supersample the framebuffer up to 9x in both X and Y, but this
requires an enormously powerful GPU that has not been invented;
users with Radeon 5000-class cards should limit themselves to 3x,
Radeon 4000 to 1.5x.
* The default configuration will NOT appear to do anything; it
requires tuning to the user's liking.
* Should nicely fall back in all cases except missing shaders, and it
might fall back correctly in that case as well. Report any
anomalies.
- For obvious reasons, the Direct3D8 renderer cannont support this.
Enable Visual Studio basic run-time checks in non-optimized builds
[Oliver Stoneberg]
Flush stderr, so the data is actually written when output is being
redirected [Oliver Stoneberg]
i286 - Added 286 LOADALL and triple fault resets. [Carl]

privilege checks. [Carl]
i86 - Fixed shift instructions, helps detecting proper CPU [Miodrag
Milanovic]
i86 - Fixed handling of invalid instructions in 0x60-0x6f section
[Miodrag Milanovic]
Major clean-up and state machine conversion for the Sega ST-V / Saturn
driver [Angelo Salese]
HLSL Updates [Ryan Holtz, Bat Country Entertainment]
* Split color convolution and deconvergence into separate shaders for
potential GPU savings down the line
* Added light and heavy variants of the color convolution shader, the
former with YIQ colorspace removed
* Re-worked defocus to occur prior to shadow mask application, as it
would be on a real monitor.
* Split "pincushion" into "Pincushion" and "Screen Curvature", the
former affecting the only the displayed image and the latter only
affecting the shadow mask.
* Made major fixes to CVBS simulation, significantly increasing color
saturation
* Added magnet deconvergence via a shader uniform
* Improved phosphorescence
* Improved YIQ codec
* Added adjustable color carrier in YIQ processing mode.
* Fixed resolution-change crash and likely D3D performance regression
with -nohlsl on low-spec cards
* Created a new OSD function, osd_get_slider_list, which allows
OS-specific slider controls.
HLSL Post-Processing Updates: [Ryan Holtz, Bat Country Entertainment, cgwg]
* The defocus pass is now switched off when defocus_x and defocus_y
are zero, allowing finer-grained performance tuning.
* Removed YIQ convolution from the main color-convolution shader and
replaced it with a full composite encode/decode pass. This is slower,
but looks amazing(ly like a terrible TV) and can be turned off.
* More authentic NTSC dot crawl and bandwidth limiting.
i86 - Implemented POP CS and MOV CS,reg instructions that are 8086
specific [Miodrag Milanovic]

Various Irem M92 / M107 fixes [Alex Jackson]
* Hooked up sound CPU interrupts properly, using the V35 builtin
interrupt controller, rather than generating the vectors in the
driver.
* Cleaned up ROM mirroring, using AM_REGION macros in the address
maps instead of memcpy()ing all over the place in the
DRIVER_INITs.
* Converted bankswitching to use configured banks. Only configure the
banks and install the bankswitch WRITE_HANDLER in the games that
actually use it (i.e. those with a full megabyte of program ROM).
This and the previous change make the drivers a lot less confusing
to look at... I hope.
* Converted both drivers to use a scanline timer device instead of a
hand-rolled one.
* Added save state support to m92.c. Everything necessary was already
saved, I just had to add the tag. However, presumably due to the
core emu_timer breakage (MT 4330, 4331) the save states don't
actually work at the moment. I've already reported this as MT
#4333
* Added GAME_MECHANICAL tag to wpksoc and clone

Added work-around for crowd gfxs in Taito F3 football games (Taito Cup
Finals, International Cup '94, Taito Power Goal and clones), until a
better information is found about it [David Haywood]
softlist: moved software list handling (in the Internal UI) to a
separate source, and made the code more similar to the File Manager
handling code. [Fabio Priuli]
CPS-3 update [Team CPS-1]:
* Added Street Fighter III: New Generation Hispanic BIOS rom CD
version
* Added a detailed table of all known releases until now with usefull
notes to identify new Cart Regions/CD Revisions
* Renamed some CHDs to use the new Catalog # standard

description order for softlist entries (in the Internal UI), and
adapted the char input code to match shortnames or descriptions
accordingly [Fabio Priuli]
sc61860 cpu - fix for crash and cleanup, replace for internal ram
accesses with function calls to help further debug the core in the
future [Atari Ace]
cartslot.c/chd_cd.c: added support for a callback function to test
softlist sharedfeat (e.g. 'compatibility') and display a warning
message accordingly. updated cdi.c as an example [Fabio Priuli]
Decrypted 3 Super 8 program ROM [Lord Nightmare, Kevtris]
cassette.c/flopdrv.c: added support for a display info callback
function [Miodrag Milanovic]

tms5220.c: updates to comments and nonstandard feature defines.
[Lord Nightmare]
8237dma - Added cascade mode support [Wilbert Pol]
pic8259 - Added support for cascade mode, updated interface in all
drivers [Miodrag Milanovic]
upd7725.c: Implementation of the p0 and p1 output bits as device
lines; preliminary implementation of INT input line. [Lord Nightmare]
Replaced mamedriv.c with a new driver list mechanism that is generated
by the build tools. The emulator core now expects the presence of a
file called src/$(TARGET)/$(SUBTARGET).lst which is just a raw list of
driver names, one per line. C and C++ comments are still permitted.
This file is parsed by a new build tool makelist which extracts the
driver names, sorts them, and generates a file called drivlist.c,
which is consumed by the core. [Aaron Giles]
Added new osdcore function osd_malloc_array() which is identical to
osd_malloc() but obviously hints that the underlying allocation is for
an array. Updated all callers to use the appropriate form. Modified
the Windows allocator to only use guard pages for array-style
allocations, allowing us to enable them once again in debug builds.
[Aaron Giles]
Created new static class driver_list to wrap accesses to the list of
available drivers. Improved speed of driver lookups by relying on the
presorting done by makelist. [Aaron Giles]
Created helper class driver_enumerator as a helper for iterating
through the list of drivers. This class supports basic filtering and
iteration, and also serves as a temporary cache of machine_configs.
[Aaron Giles]
Created cli_frontend object to wrap all the CLI handling code in
clifront.c. Updated/simplified all the code to take advantage of the
driver_enumerator. [Aaron Giles]
Created media_auditor object to wrap all the auditing functions in
audit.c. Updated all users to the new interface. Note that the new
auditing mechanism is slightly out of sync with the romload code in
terms of finding ROMs owned by devices, so it may mis-report some
issues until the new ROM loading code is in. [Aaron Giles]
Added concept of a per-device searchpath. For most devices, their
searchpath is just the short name of the device. For driver_devices,
the searchpath is driver[;parent[;bios]]. This searchpath will
eventually be used by the rom loader to find ROMs. For now it is used
by the media auditor only. [Aaron Giles]
Created info_xml_creator object to wrap all the info generation
functions in info.c. Converted the file to C++ and cleaned up the
input processing code. [Aaron Giles]
model2.c: Corrected the revision level for Top Skater (USA) set
[The Dumping Union]
Various improvements to the Konami Viper driver [Ville Linde]
midqslvr: Add some hardware information [O. Galibert]
Added reverse-spin support to the stepper motor simulator
[James Wallace]
mpu4.c: Documented MOD 4 OKI program card ROM banking and improved the
BwB characteriser emulation. [James Wallace]
Fixed the I/O address in Intel 8257 DMA operations. [Curt Coder]
Fixes for non-native SDL builds on OS X [Paulo Cabral]
Added "Mandatory artwork is missing" error [Oliver St
Implemented 16-bit device callbacks. [Curt Coder]
Fix loading fonts on MacOSX. [Couriersud]
Delegates 2.0 implementation. Resdesigned how delegates work to make
them more flexible and simpler to use. Got rid of the proto_delegates
altogether in favor of supporting delegates that are bound to NULL
objects. Added a front-end template that supports "natural" syntax
favored by libraries like boost. Added support for static functions
that take reference parameters instead of pointer parameters for the
object type. Updated all delegate users in the system to the new
syntax. [Aaron Giles]
Changed the DIRECT_UPDATE_HANDLER to take a machine reference like
everything else in the system. Updated all users. [Aaron Giles]
Changed the FUNC() macro to automatically put an & in front of the
item passed. In general this works transparently, however it does have
the nice side-effect of catching situations where a variable is passed
instead of a function name. Fixed those cases to push the naming
upstream so that the name is now provided properly. Also added a
FUNC_NULL macro since FUNC(NULL) no longer works. [Aaron Giles]
tms5220.c: partially fixed perfect interpolation hack, disabled by
default. [Lord Nightmare]
segas24: Start untangling the Vogon poetry Atari Ace left is his wake.
Apply the new timing implementation per cgfm's analysis. Gain ground
is going to be stuck in free play mode. [O. Galibert]
tms5220.c: fixed perfect interpolation hack the rest of the way, now
it works as it did before 0.140 or so. [Lord Nightmare]
tms5220.c: improve perfect interpolation hack slightly, should be less
noisy after inhibit frames. [Lord Nightmare]

Devices
IDE / AHCI
Added emulation layer for an ICH-9 AHCI controller (not yet stable). Tested with Linux, OpenBSD, Windows Vista and Windows 7. The AHCI emulation supports NCQ, so multiple read or write requests can be outstanding at the same time.
to use it, use the following command line snippet: -drive id=disk,file=<your image goes here>,if=none -device ahci,id=ahci -device ide-drive,drive=disk,bus=ahci.0
SCSI
Various bug fixes, no new features.
USB
Added USB support for remote wakeup, allowing the guest to suspend the USB bus when idle, which in turn reduces the CPU overhead of an idle machine.
The USB subsystem also got a bunch of patches to prepare it for USB 2.0 support.
virtio
virtio-pci can use ioeventfd for virtqueue notify. On systems that support KVM, the ioeventfd mechanism can be used to make virtqueue notify a lightweight exit by deferring hardware emulation to the iothread and allowing the VM to continue execution. This model is similar to how vhost receives virtqueue notifies. The result of this change is improved performance for userspace virtio devices. Virtio-blk throughput increases especially for multithreaded scenarios and virtio-net transmit throughput increases substantially. Read the commit message for more details.
Various fixes and stabilization for live-migration:
Various virtio-net improvements:
Make tx_timer timeout configurable
Limit number of packets sent per TX flush
Introduce a new bottom half packet TX
Fix cross-endianness support
PCI/PCI Express
Improved PCI Express support and functionalities with the implementation of:
flr (Function Level Reset)
aer (Advanced Error Reporting) and other improvements
A new monitor command to inject errors into the PCI bus: pcie_aer_inject_error
Implementation of Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI/MSI-X) support
Separation of the PCI bridge code from the main PCI code.
Sound
New Intel HD Audio support, adding three new devices:
intel-hda: Intel HD Audio Controller, the PCI device.
hda-duplex: HDA Codec. Attaches to the HDA bus. Supports 16bit stereo, rates 16k -> 96k, playback, recording and volume control (with CONFIG_MIXEMU=y).
hda-output: HDA Codec without recording support. Subset of the hda-duplex codec. Use this if you don't want your guests access your mic.
Usage: add '-device intel-hda -device hda-duplex' to your command line.
Tested guests:
Linux works.
Win7 works.
DOS (mpxplay) works.
WinXP doesn't work.
Real Time Clock
Fix binary/BCD mode switch
Video
Fix cirrus VGA crash with some guests
Fix curses big endian support
Block Drivers
qcow2
Added a writeback metadata cache. This improves performance of scenarios with lots of cluster allocations noticably (e.g. installation or after taking a snapshot), in some benchmarks by a factor of ten or more. Use cache=none or cache=writeback to take advantage from this change.
Copy snapshots out of QCOW2 disk, eg: qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O qcow2 -s snapshot_name src_img bck_img
Zero-copy read and write operations
Other fixes and code cleanups:
qcow2: Invalidate cache after failed read
block: Allow bdrv_flush to return errors
qcow2: Simplify image creation
qcow2: Fixes unaligned access on IA64
qed
Introduction of the QEMU Enhanced Disk (qed) image format. It is a disk image format that forgoes features found in qcow2 in favor of better levels of performance and data integrity. Due to its simpler on-disk layout, it is possible to safely perform metadata updates more efficiently.
More information about qed: http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/QED
Initial thread discussion: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2010-09/msg00310.html
ceph/rbd
Introduction of the new ceph/rbd block driver. RBD is an block driver for the distributed file system Ceph.
More information about ceph: http://ceph.newdream.net/
nbd
Improve qemu-nbd performance by 4400 %. This patch combines the reply header and payload send operation.
Introduce NBD named exports.
Spice
New support for the SPICE protocol. The project main focus is to provide high-quality remote access to QEMU virtual machines. More information about SPICE can be found at the project's web site: http://spice-space.org/
New qxl device. qxl is a paravirtual graphics card. The qxl device is the bridge between the guest and the spice server (aka libspice-server). The spice server will send the rendering commands to the spice client, which will actually render them. The spice server is also able to render locally, which is done in case the guest wants read something from video memory. Local rendering is also used to support display over vnc and sdl. qxl is activated using -vga qxl. qxl supports multihead, additional cards can be added via '-device qxl.
Relevant commits:
spice: core bits
spice: add keyboard
spice: add mouse
spice: simple display
spice: add tablet support
spice: tls support
spice: make compression configurable.
spice: add config options for channel security.
spice: add config options for the listening address
spice: add misc config options
spice: add audio
spice: add qxl device
spice: connection events.
QMP / monitor
TODO: QMP is now stable, except for error reporting?
The work to facilitate the management of QEMU instances has been improved. QMP has received various fixes. Now it is possible to call a traditional monitor command through QMP, in case your application depends on the output or the command is not yet ported to QMP.
New commands:
query-spice / info spice
human-monitor-command
set_password
drive_del
block_resize command, allowing resizing of block devices while qemu is running. For virtio-blk the size is updated automatically when this command is issued on the host. IDE is not supported. For SCSI devices the new size can be updated in Linux guests by doing the following shell command:
echo > /sys/class/scsi_device/0:0:0:0/device/rescan
Tracing
Introduction of platform-independent tracing, more information about it: http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/Tracing
Documentation and tutorial: http://git.qemu.org/qemu.git/plain/docs/tracing.txt
Some relevant commits:
Add trace-events file for declaring trace events
Add a DTrace tracing backend targetted for SystemTAP compatibility
Add LTTng Userspace Tracer backend
Add simple built-in tracing backend
Add stderr trace-event backend:
Support for dynamically enabling/disabling trace events
Specify trace file name
Add trace-file command to open/close/flush trace file
Other stuff
Extend -option-rom command to have additional parameter bootindex
Little endian / big endian MMIO framework. Until now, most devices had special hacks to allow them to work on big and little endian systems (ppc / x86). With that framework, they should mostly work with both and not require and device specific hacks anymore.
Changes in 1.3.24:
* Various DirectInput improvements.
* Support for line breaking in Uniscribe.
* More UI elements in builtin Shell Explorer.
* Some more D3DX9 functions.
* Improved support for shell known folders.
* Various bug fixes.
Changes in 1.3.23:
* Support for stubless COM proxies on x86-64.
* Builtin dxdiag now outputs real information.
* Monochrome bitmap format in the DIB engine.
* Beginnings of a true shell Explorer builtin.
* A number of new D3DX9 functions.
* More support for Indic text shaping.
* Various bug fixes.
3.4 to 3.4.1: (June 11, 2011)
* Re-enabled 'grabmouse' commandline argument and associated
functionality with the following changes:
- it is changed in the "Input Settings' UI, not in 'Video Settings'
- it only has meaning while in emulation mode
- it is enabled by default
* Fixed bug with emulation of paddles using the mouse most evident in
Warlords; movement was being filtered out if the mouse was moved too
fast. There's still more work required in this area, however.
* Fixed bug with analog axes on gamepad devices, whereby jittering in
these axes would override input from digital axis, hat or keyboard
input.
* Fixed bug when switching to the debugger and back again would
sometimes cause an extra mouse motion event (which would cause the
emulation to think the mouse was moved and move the player
accordingly).
* Tweaked bankswitch autodetection code for 4A50 bankswitching; several
more test ROMs are automatically detected.
* The 'saverom' debugger command now saves ROMs in your home
directory by default if you don't specify a valid path. This fixes
a bug whereby ROMs were saved in strange locations and couldn't later
be found.
* Fixed bug in automatically executing the debugger 'autoexec.stella'
file; any commands it contained weren't actually being executed.
* Zero-byte ROMs are no longer loaded and mis-detected as Supercharger
images.
3.3 to 3.4: (May. 29, 2011)
* Many improvements to input handling, particularly with the mouse and
paddles:
- The mouse can now be used to emulate a joystick, booster-grip or
driving controller.
- The mouse now controls only one device at a time (1 of 4 paddles,
1 of 2 joysticks, etc), instead of devices from both virtual ports.
- The sensitivity for digital and mouse input (for paddles) can now
be set separately with the 'dsense' and 'msense' commandline
arguments, and from within the Input Settings UI.
* Added support for the 2600-daptor device (2600-daptor.com), which is
similar to a Stelladaptor but improves handling of paddles. Thanks
go to Tom Hafner for a complimentary test sample of this device.
* Added new controller types 'Paddles_IAxis', 'Paddles_IDir', and
'Paddles_IAxDr', which invert the paddle axis, direction, and
axis+direction, respectively. These are used for certain ROMs
that have the axis or direction inverted from normal (for example,
using the paddles causes on onscreen object to move up and down vs.
left and right). All applicable ROMs in the internal database
have been updated.
* Added preliminary support for emulating ARM code to the DPC+
bankswitching scheme (thanks to Batari). Related to this, fatal
errors in the DPC+ ARM code are now caught and shown in the debugger.
* Updated internal ROM properties database to ROM-Hunter version 6
(thanks go to RomHunter for his tireless research in this area).
* The ROM audit dialog now automatically selects the current
directory in the ROM launcher, and reloads the directory after
the audit is complete.
* Removed the 'grabmouse' functionality; the mouse is now always
grabbed while playing a game, and released otherwise.
* Updated built-in version of the PNG library to the latest version.
* Support for Indic text shaping.
* Generation of stubless code in the IDL compiler.
* Support for X files in D3DX.
* 4- and 24-bit bitmap formats in the DIB engine.
* Listview performance improvements.
* Various bug fixes.
* Support for installation rollbacks in MSI.
* 8- and 16-bit bitmap formats in the DIB engine.
* Fixes in the XInput2 mouse support.
* Better support for text shaping in Uniscribe.
* Improvements to the Item common dialog.
* More MSVC runtime functions.
* Various bug fixes.
* Option to clip the mouse inside fullscreen windows.
* Support for persistent HTTP connections.
* Initial implementation of the XML writer.
* Support for drawing rectangles in the DIB engine.
* Volume control in MMDevAPI.

slight fix.
* Changes in VICE 2.3
======================
** General
----------
- Added x64sc, the accurate C64 emulator:
* VIC-II emulation rewritten from scratch using results from extensive
testing with newly written test programs on real hardware.
* Emulation is done on a cycle by cycle basis combined with pixel exact
dot clock domain handling.
* Accurate handling of all possible in-line splits of VIC-II registers
and graphics data.
* C64 model and even individual chip revisions can be selected for very
detailed emulation of their differences.
* Equally accurate PAL, NTSC and PAL-N emulation.
We believe x64sc is one of the most accurate C64 emulators at the
moment.
- Drive improvements, including weak bit emulation.
- Major reSID overhaul:
* Emulation of all known pipeline delays for full cycle accuracy.
* New shift register model based on revectorized die photograps.
* Accurate DAC models based on revectorized die photograps.
* Emulation of floating waveform DAC input for waveform 0.
* Advanced 6581 transistor level filter model based on revectorized
die photograps, yielding unprecedented accuracy.
- CRT Emulation (former "PAL emulation") is now available regardless of
video mode or -chip and works in all emulators.
NOTE: Color gamma range changed. You may need to set to 2.200 manually.
(ColorGamma=2200)
- Added "True aspect ratio" option.
- Sound buffer overflows reduced and the error replaced with a warning.
- Various monitor improvements (io details, expansion port status ...)
- Removed little used Emulator ID feature.
- VIA wrap handling rewritten to fix problems with timer 2.
- Added autostart option to do LOAD ,8 instead of ,8,1.
- RESTORE key presses are now distributed randomly across a frame.
- Improved accuracy of CIA interrupts. (6526/6526A selectable)
** C64/C128 changes

- Cartridge emulation improvements. Many broken cartridges fixed, and the
following ones added:
* Action Replay 2
* Action Replay 3

(except runtime write support, but plus FAT32 suppport)
- Added write protect option for floppy drives.
- Bugfixes / improved internal debugger + instrumentation.
Detailed change log :
- CPU and internal debugger
- Implemented Process Context ID (PCID) feature
- Implemented FS/GS BASE access instructions support
(according to document from http://software.intel.com/en-us/avx/)
- Rewritten from scratch SMC detection algorithm

- Bugfixes for CPU emulation correctness and stability
- Fixed failures on Big Endian hosts !
- Print detailed page walk information and attributes in
internal debugger 'page' command
- Updated/Fixed instrumentation callbacks

- Bochs now can be compiled as native Windows x86-64 application
(tested with Mingw gcc 4.5.1 and Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2010)
- Added ability to configure CPUID stepping through .bochsrc.
The default stepping value is 3.
- Added ability to disable MONITOR/MWAIT support through .bochsrc
CPUID option. The option is available only if compiled with
--enable-monitor-mwait configure option.
- Determine and select max physical address size automatically at
configure time:
- 32-bit physical address for 386/486 guests
- 36-bit physical address for PSE-36 enabled Pentium guest
- 40-bit physical address for PAE enabled P6 or later guests
- Update config.guess/config.sub scripts to May 2010 revisions.

- USB
- converted common USB code plus devices to the new 'usb_common' plugin
Now the USB device classes no longer exist twice if both HC plugins are loaded.
- added 'pseudo device' in common USB code for the device creation. This makes
the HCs independent from the device specific code.
- USB MSD: added support for disk image modes (like ATA disks)
- USB printer: output file creation failure now causes a disconnect
- re-implemented "options" parameter for additional options of connected
devices (currently only used to set the speed reported by device and to
specify an alternative redolog file of USB MSD disk image modes)

Changes in 2.4 (May 3, 2009):
Brief summary :
- Added graphical Bochs debugger frontend for most of the supported platforms.
- Thanks for Chourdakis Michael and Bruce Ewing.
- Many new CPU features in emulation
- Support for > 32 bit physical address space and configurable MSRs
- VMX, 1G pages in long mode, MOVBE instruction
- Bugfixes for CPU emulation correctness, debugger and CPU instrumentation.
- New config interface 'win32config' with start and runtime menu
- USB: added OHCI support, external hub and cdrom
- Added user plugin interface support.
Detailed change log :
- CPU and internal debugger
- Support for VMX hardware emulation in Bochs CPU, to enable configure with
--enable-vmx option
Nearly complete VMX implementation, with few exceptions:
- Dual-monitor treatment of SMIs and SMM not implemented yet
- NMI virtualization, APIC virtualization not implemented yet
- VMENTER to not-active state not supported yet
- No advanced features like Extended Page Tables or VPID
- Support for configurable MSR registers emulation, to enable configure with
--enable-configurable-msrs option
Look for configuration example in .bochsrc and msrs.def
- Support new Intel Atom(R) MOVBE instruction, to enable configure with
--enable-movbe option
- Support for 1G pages in long mode, to enable configure with
--enable-1g-pages option
- Support for > 32 bit physical address space in CPU. Up to 36 bit could be
seen in legacy mode (PAE) and up to 40 bit in x86-64 mode.
Still support the same amount of the physical memory in the memory object,
so system with > 4Gb of RAM yet cannot be emulated.
To enable configure with --enable-long-phy-address option.
- Implemented modern BIOSes mode limiting max reported CPUID function
to 3 using .bochsrc CPU option. The mode is required in order to
correctly install and boot WinNT.
- Added ability to configure CPUID vendor/brand strings through .bochsrc
(patch from @SF by Doug Reed).
- Many bugfixes for CPU emulation correctness (both x86 and x86-64).
- Updated CPU instrumentation callbacks.
- Fixed Bochs internal debugger breakpoints/watchpoints handling.
- Configure and compile
- Added ability to choose Bochs log file name and Bochs debugger log file
name from Bochs command line (using new -log and -dbglog options)
- Removed Peter Tattam's closed source external debugger interface from
the code.
- Removed --enable-guest2host-tlb configure option. The option is always
enabled for any Bochs configuration.
- Removed --enable-icache configure option. The option is always enabled
for any Bochs configuration. Trace cache support still remains optional
and could be configured off.
- Added configure option to compile in GUI frontend for Bochs debugger,
to enable configure with --enable-debugger-gui option.
The GUI debugger frontend is enabled by default with Bochs debugger.
- Removed --enable-port-e9-hack configure option. The feature now could be
configured at runtime through .bochsrc.
- Added configure option to enable/disable A20 pin support. Disabling the
A20 pin support slightly speeds up the emulation.
- reduced dependencies between source files for faster code generation
- BIOS
- Added S3 (suspend to RAM) ACPI state to BIOS (patch by Gleb Natapov)
- Implemented MTRR support in the bios (patches by Avi Kivity and Alex
Williamsion with additions by Sebastian Herbszt)
- Bug fixes
- I/O Devices
- Added user plugin support
- remaining devices converted to plugins: pit, ioapic, iodebug
- added 'plugin_ctrl' bochsrc option to control the presence of optional
device plugins without a separate option. By default all plugins are enabled.
- added register mechanism for removable mouse and keyboard devices
- Hard drive / cdrom
- PACKET-DMA feature now supported by all ATAPI commands
- ATAPI command 0x1A added (based on the Qemu implementation)
- sb16
- Added ALSA sound support on Linux (PCM/MIDI output)
- FM synthesizer now usable with MIDI output (simple piano only)
- Fixed OPL frequency to MIDI note translation
- Fixed MIDI output command
- keyboard
- added keyboard controller commands 0xCA and 0xCB
- USB

- added status bar indicators to show data transfer
- VGA
- VBE video memory increased to 16 MB
- implemented changeable VBE LFB base address (PCI only, requires latest
BIOS and VGABIOS images)
- I/O APIC
- implemented I/O APIC device hardware reset
- Config interface
- new config interface 'win32config' with start and runtime menu is now
the default on Windows ('textconfig' is still available)
- win32 device config dialogs are now created dynamicly from a parameter list
(works like the wx ParamDialog)
- changes in textcofig and the wx ParamDialog for compatibility with the new
win32 dialog behaviour
- Bochs param tree index keys are case independent now
- some other additions / bugfixes in the simulator interface code
- Misc
- updated LGPL'd VGABIOS to version 0.6c

MESS is a source-available project which documents the hardware
for a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game
consoles, and calculators through software emulation, as MAME does
for arcade games. As a nice side effect to this documentation, MESS
allows software and games for these hardware platforms to be run
on modern PCs.
MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. When used in
conjunction with images of the original arcade game's ROM and disk
data, MAME attempts to reproduce that game as faithfully as possible
on a more modern general-purpose computer. MAME can currently
emulate several thousand different classic arcade video games from
the late 1970s through the modern era.
ROMs are needed to play the games. Some are freely available on the
MAME homepage.
alternative from mk/jpeg.buildlink3.mk
This allows selection of an alternative jpeg library (namely the x86 MMX,
SSE, SSE2 accelerated libjpeg-turbo) via JPEG_DEFAULT=libjpeg-turbo, and
follows the current standard model for alternatives (fam, motif, fuse etc).

upstream changelog:
3.2.1 to 3.2.2: (September 17, 2010)
* Fixed bug with window centering; if enabled and the the window was
larger than the desktop, the window would be moved offscreen.
-Have fun!
3.2 to 3.2.1: (August 25, 2010)
* Improved behaviour of joystick 'hat' movement. This should fix bugs
most visible in Yars' Revenge.
* Fixed bug in debugger rewind states; bankswitching wasn't being
performed during the rewind. Related to this, fixed a similar issue
with the debugger 'loadstate' and 'savestate' commands.
* Added game properties info and snapshot for the newly released
'Halo 2600' ROM.
3.1.2 to 3.2: (August 20, 2010)
* NOTE: because of the many event-related changes in this release, all
event mapping should be reset to defaults after starting Stella for
the first time. As well, because of other internal changes, older
save-state files are no longer valid.
* Many improvements to joystick handling code, particularly for analog
axes. Navigating the UI should be much smoother now, and remapping
events to analog axes should be less 'twitchy'.
* Added ability to assign and remap 'combo' events in emulation mode.
Combo events are basically a sequence of normal events (up to 8)
that are generated from a single event (ie, one button on a joystick
could generate up to 8 events). Updated Input Settings UI to
access and modify these events.
* Default mappings are now available in UI and emulation mode for the
first 'hat' detected on a joystick/gamepad. Related to this, a hat
now works exactly like an axis in UI mode (holding down a direction
continues that direction until the hat is released/centered).
* Several major improvements to the debugger:
- the disassembler can now process multiple entry points, and
caches entry points as they're encountered (ie, the disassembly
isn't 'reset' each time a bank change occurs or you exit and
re-enter the debugger)
- preliminary support for disassembling from zero-page RAM
- re-added ability to change banks with the 'bank' debugger
prompt command and within the ROM disassembly UI
- user labels in disassembly are now supported again
- 'runto' command is now case-insensitive, and shows a progressbar
while searching through the disassembly
- the debugger window can be resized between ROM loads (previously,
the app had to be restarted)
- fixed bug in Distella disassembler output, where it sometimes
generated addresses above $FFFF
- a vertical line separates the disassembly from the raw bytes
* Fixed behaviour of SWCHB and SWBCNT; pins set to output now remember
the values previously written. Some ROMs use this functionality for
extra storage. Special thanks to Omegamatrix of AtariAge for advice
and test ROMs in this area.
* Fixed bug when reading from illegal TIA addresses; a Space Invaders
hack was showing pink enemies instead of white ones. Again, special
thanks to to Omegamatrix of AtariAge for advice and test ROMs in this
area.
* Fixed bug in handling INPT4/INPT5 latches from VBLANK; a least one
ROM was working in Stella when it didn't on real hardware.
* Added 'ramrandom' commandline argument, which is used to randomize
all RAM in the system; otherwise, the RAM is zeroed.
* Added 'finishing touches' to some of the UI descriptions, giving a
better explanation of the functions. Related to this, certain
options now show a message box explaining the option in further
detail (particularly the ROM Audit mode). As well, when starting
Stella for the first time, a prompt appears to select a ROM
directory.
* Fixed bugs in the ROM launcher when viewing certain PNG images not
created by Stella. Related to this, the official PNG library is now
included in the Stella codebase (version 1.4.3). Also added composite
snapshots for those ROMs which consist of several games. Thanks go
to Buzbard of AtariAge for these images.
* Added several fixes for crashes on 'small' systems (those systems
where the maximum resolution is less than 640x480).
* Tweaked bankswitch autodetection for 0840, DPC+, E7 and UA schemes.
* Improved F8 bankswitch autodetection for Yars Revenge in 8in1 ROM.
* Updated DPC+ bankswitch scheme to latest specifications.
* Snapshots taken in continuous snapshot mode are now timestamped, so
older files are never overwritten.
* Fixed a TIA segfault that could occur with certain ROMs.
* The 'center' application window functionality can now be changed
without having to restart the application. Related to this, mouse
positioning bugs when using the Linux version in OpenGL mode with
SDL 1.2.14 have been fixed.
* Reworked the manual, dividing it into 'Getting Started' and
'Advanced Configuration' sections. It still contains the same info
as before, but hopefully in a better organized way.
* Updated Help dialog; it was showing incorrect info for some OSX
shortcuts.
* Updated OSX build script to not crash when a previous build is
detected, and to properly handle filenames with spaces.
* Updated included ZLib to latest release version (1.2.5).
3.1.1 to 3.1.2: (May 3, 2010)
* Modified 'showinfo' command to accept levels of output, where
increasingly larger numbers provide more debug output. Related to
this, added UI item to modify 'showinfo'.
* Updated DPC+ bankswitch scheme to latest specifications, including
support for 32K ROMs with ARM code (the ARM code is ignored for now).
* Fixed bug in saving patched ROMs using DPC and DPC+ bankswitch
schemes; the saved image didn't actually include any changes made by
the user.
* Removed 'uselauncher' from the UI, since disabling it will remove
the ROM launcher on all future runs, and not allow one to enable it
again. It's still available from the commandline, for those that
have a need for it.
3.1 to 3.1.1: (April 26, 2010)
* Fixed program crash when using RIOT addresses and labels in the
debugger console prompt.
* Updated DPC+ bankswitch scheme to latest specifications.
3.0 to 3.1: (April 22, 2010)
* Fixed a major bug with text drawing in software rendering mode.
Switching between windowed and fullscreen mode while text was being
shown could result in garbled text or even a program crash.
* Fixed issues when using 'sleep' timing, whereby a lockup could occur
when changing video modes, and/or Stella would consume more CPU time
than was necessary.
* Integrated Distella disassembler, completely replacing the previous
disassembler. The entire infrastructure has not been completely
ported yet. As a result, labels defined by the user or from a
DASM symbol file aren't actually used in the disassembly, and almost
all distella config options are disabled. These will be addressed in
a future release.
* Completely reworked the debugger cartridge interface, so that
the disassembly is dynamic (ie, the debugger tracks when cart address
space has changed, and automatically performs a re-disassembly).
* All carts with extended RAM that differentiate between read and write
ports now behave correctly when a read from the write port occurs.
* Added more complete support for the more esoteric bankswitch
schemes in the debugger. These schemes now support accurate
disassembly and ROM patch functionality. Related to this, fixed a
bug in disassembler view when a failure to patch a ROM still showed
the (incorrect) patched results.
* Added ability to disable TIA object collisions, independent of
enabling/disabling the objects. Previously, one had to completely
disable an object to avoid collisions, but now an object can be
enabled (and seen) but still have its collisions disabled. These
actions are tied to the same keys as the enable ones, except the
'Shift' key is also used.
* Added preliminary support for 'DPC+' bankswitching scheme, thanks to
Darrell Spice Jr and Fred Quimby.
* Added '16in1' bankswitching scheme, which works with various
ROMs labeled '128-in-1 ...' (the database has been updated for
these). Related to this, switching between multicart ROMs for 2in1,
4in1, 8in1, 16in1 and 32in1 now shows a UI message indicating which
ROM is active.
* Reverted some of the TIA improvements with respect to 'starfield
effect' as seen in "Cosmic Ark" and "Stay Frosty". The emulation is
now more accurate as compared to the majority of consoles in use.
* Added debugger pseudo-register '_rwport', which traps on a read from
the write port. This differentiates from reads that are normally
part of a write cycle (ie, it traps only on inadvertent reads).
* Added 'resolvedata' commandline argument and associated UI item, used
to set the "resolve data sections" config option in Distella
(vs. treating all address space as code).
* Added 'runtopc' debugger command, used to step until encountering the
given program counter. This is also available in the ROM disassembly
UI from the right-click context menu.
* Added 'listfunctions' and 'delfunction' debugger commands to
access/remove user-defined functions. Related to this, fixed a bug
in 'function' command that could cause a program crash.
* Added 'cls' debugger command, used to erase the text and history
from the debugger prompt.
* Removed the 'listwatches' and 'poke' debugger commands, as they
were redundant.
* Removed the 'loadlst' debugger command and the ability to use a
DASM .lst file. This code was incomplete, and no longer fits with
the recent disassembler improvements. Support for this may return
in a future release.
* Modified 'disasm' debugger command to accept a second argument
indicating the number of lines to disassemble.
* Improved tab-completion in the debugger prompt; it now completes
on functions and pseudo-registers.
* Added emulation of the "Sega Genesis" controller, with two buttons
that are directly supported on a real system.
* The ZLib library is now included in the core code, so Windows
developers no longer have to track down the ZLIBWAPI archive.
* Many changes to the MacOS X port, bringing it more in line with
other systems:
The application is now known as 'Stella' (instead of StellaOSX).
Two versions are available: the first is a 32-bit Universal Binary
for OSX 10.4 - 10.6, and the second is 32/64-bit Intel-only for
OSX 10.6 (aka Snow Leopard). The Intel version is compiled with the
very latest compiler (LLVM/Clang), resulting in better performance.
The keyboard handling is changed to match other systems in terms of
where the keys actually are on the keyboard (ie, the OSX Command key
corresponds to Alt, and the OSX Control key corresponds to Control).
The application menu has been cleaned up and simplified, and it
now shows the correct shortcuts for menu items.
The settings file is now (according to Apple standards)
'~/Library/Preferences/net.sourceforge.Stella.plist'.
The base directory (where all other Stella stuff is located) is now
'~/Library/Application Support/Stella'.
Because of these changes, all your settings will have to be entered
again.
* Added 'ctrlcombo' commandline argument, which toggles the use of the
control key as a modifier key. This is useful if you want to press
'Control' and 'R' in a two player game, and not have the combination
treated as 'Control-R' (which will issue a ROM reload).
* Added 'usemouse' commandline argument and associated UI item. This
toggles the use of the mouse as a controller of any type.
* Added 'uimessages' commandline argument and associated UI item.
This toggles showing of UI messages overlaid on the screen.
Critical messages are still shown, though.
* Added ability to take multiple snapshots in a given interval every
x seconds. This is currently tied to the 'Alt-s' key and is not
remappable (for now). The interval can be set with the 'ssinterval'
commandline argument and within the UI, and defaults to 2.
* Many changes to the FrameBuffer and UI code for 'smaller' systems.
Stella will now scale correctly to small screens, down to 320x240
(which is the absolute lower limit supported). Related to this,
added 'maxres' commandline argument, which is useful for developers
testing on such systems.
* The About dialog now shows the version of SDL in use, and the type
of CPU the application is running on (i386, x86_64, etc).
* Improved 'listrominfo' commandline argument to list all information
from Stella's internal ROM database, including a heading. This
output can be imported into a spreadsheet or database program.
* Renamed 'tiafloat' commandline argument to 'tiadriven'. The
emulation of the behaviour of floating TIA pins is also much more
accurate.
* Reworked state files so that they're associated with the cartridge
type used, not the MD5sum of the ROM. This is useful for developers,
since the same state file can now be loaded from different ROMs,
as long as the cart type stays the same. This also fixes a bug
where loading from a non-existent state file could cause Stella
to crash. Because of these changes, old state files will no longer
work.
* Fixed bug in certain editable text fields, where pressing Return/Enter
would disable any further input.
Emulation:
- IDE improvements:
- Support for second drive (IDE slave)
- WIN_FORMAT command (allows HD Driver to format IDE drives)
- GEMDOS HDD emulation:
- Minor fixes to Fseek(), Fopen(), Fdatime() (e.g. Pure debugger works)
- On TOS v4 Fread() size arg is unsigned, on earlier TOS its signed
(bad code can use -1L to read whole file instead getting fail on TOS4)

- 68020+FPU changed to 68EC030+FPU (no MMU 030) for Falcon and TT modes
(Some Falcon programs didn't work with 020)
- Video emulation on STF/STE:
- correctly shift the screen 4 pixels to the left when left border is removed
- add support for STE's 224 bytes overscan line without stabilizer
- when reading $ff8205/07/09 on STE, take into account the value
of horizontal scrolling/prefetch and linewidth
- when writing to $ff8205/07/09 on STE, correctly handle the case
where the write is made while display in ON
- LMC1992 emulation / STE sound filtering
0.8.D.2:
NES: Fixed a crash on certain x86_64 platforms(Mac OS X),
due to the sound filtering code dereferencing 32-bit
registers instead of 64-bit registers as it should have.
0.8.D.1:
Fixed a compilation error on gcc 4.5(thanks to hanno for
pointing it out).
0.8.D:
SMS: Some state that wasn't being saved in save states
now is, which should fix netplay desynch problems with
SMS/GG games.
Fixed a couple of remotely-exploitable(if connected to a
malicious server) stack manipulation bugs in the network
play code.
Fixed an incorrect object creation bug in pce/adpcm.cpp.
NES: Added a missing CPU emulator variable to save states.
PCE: Added a missing CPU emulator variable to save states.
0.8.D-rc1:
Lynx: Fixed a bug in the cart loader code that would cause
a crash if the ROM bank size was larger than the actual
data available in the file(as is the case with some homebrew
programs). Thanks to "Wookie" for the patch.
Build files were regenerated using autoconf 2.64 and aclocal
1.11(previously, they were generated with autoconf 2.61
and aclocal 1.10.1).
Fixed a crashing problem when entering an invalid menu
choice("0") in the cheat interface. Thanks to tsenart for
reporting the bug.
GB: The GameBoy module now respects the "filesys.disablesavegz"
setting in respect to saved battery-backed RAM.
Added support for "lurkers" on the network play server.
Previous versions of Mednafen don't lack support for this
per se, but there would be cosmetic issues with status
messages printed to the internal console.
SexyAL: Fixed a bug affecting the return value from
RawCanWrite() in the ALSA driver. The returned value was
typically too small by a factor of 4. The effects of this
bug included potential long periods of garbled sound during
netplay.
Fixed the return value from RawCanWrite() in the JACK
driver. It was being clamped to a value that was too small
by a factor of 4; however, the clamp value was already
excessively large in a way that this bug would should have
only been triggered if the "soundbufsize" setting was
excessively large. The effects of this bug would be similar
to the ALSA RawCanWrite() bug.
The ALSA and OSS drivers will now try to set audio output
to 2 channels if the source data only has 1 channel, and
16-bit signed if the source data is 8-bit(automatic conversion
is done). This is done to allow for lower period/fragment
sizes, as, in ALSA's internals at least, the minimum period
sizes are expressed in bytes, not sound frames.
The ALSA and OSS drivers will now try to set lower
period/fragment sizes than previous versions of Mednafen
did. With default settings, for ALSA, the new period/fragment
size is 50% of what it was before, and for OSS, 25%. Also,
there's a new setting to override the SexyAL's driver's
preferred period/fragment sizes, named "sound.period_time"(default
value of 0: no override). The period/fragment size is
expressed in microseconds. If the new, lower fragment
sizes cause problems, the setting can be changed to "2666"
to approximate the fragment size selection in previous
versions of Mednafen when using ALSA output, and "5333"
when using OSS output.
Added a workaround to the OSS driver for a bug in ALSA(and
hence, ALSA's in-kernel OSS emulation) that could cause
the emulator to run far too fast for a short period of time
if a buffer underflow occurred.
The ALSA's driver's RawCanWrite() method now(finally) uses
snd_pcm_avail_update() instead of snd_pcm_delay(). This
should improve performance and frameskipping behavior when
the ALSA output is not routed directly to a physical device,
such as the case with PulseAudio(though PulseAudio is still
not recommended :b). CVS:

fixes to get png, jpeg, and ffmpeg support.
* Changes in VICE 2.2
======================
** General
----------
- On autostart, do not change true drive emulation (TDE) anymore by
default. The old behaviour can be switched on again by specifiying
-autostart-handle-tde on the command line.
There is one drawback of this behaviour: If TDE is switched on, an
image attached must fit to the drive type set. For example, when you
attach a .D81, you must have the drive type set to 1581, or the
autostart will fail.
- Added automatic Warp mode during autostart. If this resource is enabled then
VICE automatically enables the warp mode and then loads a file. After
loading the warp mode is disabled again and then the program is started.
- Autostarting a PRG file can now be done in three different ways:
* "Virtual FS": This mode mounts the directory where the file resides as a
virtual filesystem on drive #8 and then loads the PRG via virtual drive
traps. This was the only way of autostarting in previous VICE versions
and is still the default.
* "Inject to RAM": The PRG file is loaded from VICE directly into the RAM of
the emulated machine. Then the memory setup of a Basic LOAD is simulated
and the program is run. This is the fastest mode available but may lack
compatibility as no actual load operation was performed in the emulator.
However, no drive setup is altered during the operation.
* "Diskimage": VICE creates a temporary new disk image and copies the
contents of the PRG file onto it. Then this image is mounted in drive #8
and the program is loaded from there. If TDE is enabled then the load
operation is most compatible. The disk image stays attached until a new
image is mounted.
- Improved PAL emulation is now available for Unix/Xaw XVideo mode, and
AmigaOS. Only the YUV packed modes work, the planar modes still use the
old code paths, though.
- Sound core has been reworked to enable lower latency of operation.
Approximately 50 ms latency values are now routinely reached, and some
people have reported that as low as 30 ms still works for them.
- New SDL port. See ReadmeSDL.txt for details.
- New win64 ports, both amd64/x64 and ia64 are supported (msvc compile only).
- New SDL based armle, mipsle, ppcbe and shle QNX 6.x ports.
- New SDL based M68k and sparc SunOS ports.
- New SDL based Syllable port.
- New SDL based Dingoo port.
- Remote monitor (in other words: TCP/IP interface to VICE monitor) added.
- Fixed non-6502/6510 CPU handling in monitor.
** C64/C128 changes
-------------------
- ReSID's resampler has been optimized with MMX assembly. Some long-standing
bugs in resample-interpolate mode were also fixed.
- ReSID-FP has been optimized, too. It clocks the analog parts at half the
rate now, which saves CPU during filter emulation especially for 6581 modes.
- Added SFX Sound Sampler and SFX Sound Expander emulation.
- Added EasyFlash cartridge emulation.
- Added paddle emulation.
- Added lightpen/lightgun emulation, currently only available for the following
ports: SDL, GTK+, cocoa, win32/win64 and msdos.
- Added support for the following userport joystick adapters: CGA/Protovision,
DXS/HIT, PET (normally only used on the PET/CBM2), Hummer (normally only
used on the C64DTV) and OEM (normally only used on the VIC20).
** C128 changes
---------------
- Added RAM banks 2 and 3 support.
- Improved the VDC emulation.

- Cartridge handling rewritten.
- Added Mega-Cart cartridge emulation.
- Added Final Expansion cartridge emulation.
- Default memory configuration changed from full to unexpanded.
- Added paddle emulation.
- Added lightpen/lightgun emulation, currently only available for the following
ports: SDL, GTK+, cocoa, win32/win64 and msdos.
- Corrected the joystick support, since the VIC20 can only have one joystick
attached on the joystick port.
- Added support for the following userport joystick adapters: CGA/Protovision
(normally only used on the C64/C128), PET (normally only used on the
PET/CBM2), Hummer (normally only used on the C64DTV) and OEM.
** PLUS4 changes
----------------
- Added Digibooster SID Cart add-on emulation.
- Added SID Cart joystick port emulation.
- Fixed bug in tape recording.
- Improved graphics handling.
** C64DTV changes
-----------------
- Replaced old DTVSID emulation with ReSID-DTV.
- Minor bug fixes and emulation improvements.
- Added support for the following userport joystick adapters: CGA/Protovision
(normally only used on the C64/C128), PET (normally only used for the PET),
Hummer and OEM (normally only used on the VIC20).
** PET changes
--------------
- Corrected the joystick support, since the only way a PET can use a joystick
is by a userport joystick adapter, the following userport joystick adapters
are currently supported: CGA/Protovision (normally only used on the
C64/C128), PET, Hummer (normally only used on the C64DTV) and OEM (normally
only used on the VIC20).
** CBM2 changes
---------------
- Corrected the joystick support, since the only way a CBM2 can use a joystick
is by a userport joystick adapter, the following userport joystick adapters
are currently supported: CGA/Protovision (normally only used on the
C64/C128), PET, Hummer (normally only used on the C64DTV) and OEM (normally
only used on the VIC20).
** Unix changes
---------------
- Rudimentary PulseAudio sound driver has been added.
- Added support for dynamic loading of FFMPEG libraries.
- Added support for dynamic loading of OpenCBM and Lame library
* Changes in VICE 2.1
======================
** General
----------
- The VICEplus project has been joined with VICE. Thus, x64dtv is now
part of VICE.
- We can be contacted via IRC: #vice-dev on freenode
- Added a more accurate ReSID engine using floating point math (ReSID-FP).

- Vidmode (fullscreen support) is broken and therefore marked as
deprecated. It will be removed in the next release if no-one takes
responsibility to fix the broken code and is willing to maintain the
code.
- PAL Emulation (new implementation, improved speed) should be usable
again (it was broken on certain display depths).
- Log messages are always english.
- Only x11 keymaps will be installed when doing a 'make install'.
- MIDI cartridge emulation for x128, x64 and xvic.
* Changes in VICE 2.0

Based on PR#43567 by Ryo ONODERA.
2010/05/27 - version 0.9.10 released
New feature: GEM clipboard support that allows you to pass data between
GEM clipboard and the host one (MS Windows, Mac OS X and X Window System).
It's currently implemented in FreeMiNT only and uses its aranym.xfs
virtual filesystem (U:\host\clipbrd). Please see setup instructions
in http://wiki.aranym.org/gem_clipbrd
Also couple of important bugfixes:
o fixed two nasty crashes in HostFS (related to recent symlink fixes)
o fixed Xcode building universal binaries on PPC
o VIDEL autozoom feature with correct aspect ratio for non-square pixels
2009/09/05 - version 0.9.9 released
This time mostly bugfixes:
o fixed possible crash in HostFS when quitting ARAnyM (not serious)
o fixed possible crash due to bug in libSDL up to v1.2.13 (very serious)
o fixed some redrawing problems in 8 and 16 color depths with soft NfVDI
o fixed all compile time warnings and Categories entry in aranym.desktop
o fixed weirdness when mouse pointer was leaving the window on Win and OSX
o fixed problem with invalid HostFS symlink breaking directory list
o improvement: HostFS symlinks are now shown as relative if possible
o fixed indirect descriptors handling in MMU
o fixed HostFS symlinks for certain path configurations
o added Mode key in the set of ARAnyM hotkey modifiers
o fixed Alt+mouse click problem on Mac OSX
o fixed Right Shift detection upon startup
If you found ARAnyM crashing previously when moving windows around
or doing any other activity where VDI had to blit screen areas then
please upgrade to this version ASAP. We've added a workaround for
a serious bug in the libSDL that was causing these weird ARAnyM crashes.
2009/04/25 - version 0.9.8beta released
o CPU: fixed TRAPcc and FTRAPcc instructions (for Guillaume's mplayer :-)
o VIDEL: pixel precise horizontal scrolling implemented
o fixed BUSY signal handling on the parallel port
o fixed mouse grab/ungrab/autograb (see below)
o added new ARAnyM mouse cursor (white arrow)
o added middle mouse button handling (in Eiffel mode)
o added suport for reversing mouse Y-axis in IKBD (used in Linux-m68k)
o fixed many DSP56001 instructions
o fixed NFJPEG on 64bit hosts
o fixed several NF drivers to work under FreeMiNT (not rely on __NF cookie)
o buggy JIT-FPU was disabled. Now FPU is precise though slower in JIT mode
Mouse grab/ungrab/autograb has changed: first, ungrabbing when leaving
ARAnyM window was fixed (issue with autograb on the window border).
Then, ARAnyM got a new mouse cursor (white one) so you can recognize
now when the mouse is grabbed (the cursor pointer is black in TOS)
and when it's not (the cursor pointer is white now).
At last, mouse autograb upon entering ARAnyM window was disabled until
we can ensure the Atari mouse cursor is positioned in sync with host
mouse cursor (will require Atari OS support, probably in a form
of aranym.acc and AES implementing appl_tplay).
Also the "AutoGrabMouse" config option has been removed.
2008/11/08 - version 0.9.7beta released
Mostly small fixes at various places plus a lot of work went into
improving the DSP56001 emulation. Also the sound DMA emulation is improved
to a point where GSXB driver should be unnecessary.
o improved automatic network setup on Mac
o reworked audio DMA emulation. Also added configurable host sound frequency
o one MMU bug fixed (regarding TTR)
o special support for halting ARAnyM on linux-m68k reboot (--halt)
o SDL GUI fixed (missing events after alerts)
o EMULOP is now privileged so if some old ARAnyM TSR starts crashing this is why
o joypads are now emulated
o joysticks and joypads can be configured in the config file
o '<>' and 'End' keys' scancodes made Atari compatible
Check the doc/config example file for the new [JOYSTICKS] and [AUDIO] sections.

simple workstations to powerful Cisco routers. It is based on Dynamips, an IOS
emulator which allows users to run IOS binary images from Cisco Systems and
Pemu, an PIX firewall emulator based on Qemu.

Also add a patch for e1000.c NIC to make wm(4) work on NetBSD guest:
---
* Reset EEPROM internal state on CS rise edge,
not SK rise edge during CS is low, per CS pin description in
the FM93C06 EEPROM manual:
"... a rising edge on this signal is required to reset the
internal state-machine to accept a new cycle ..."
Intel's em driver seems to explicitly raise and lower SK output
after CS is negated in em_standby_eeprom() so many other OSes
that use Intel's driver don't have this problem, but I can't find
articles that say the MICROWIRE or EEPROM spec requires such sequence.
* It isn't a good idea to use memset(,0,) to clear EEPROM state values,
so explicitly clear status members and preserve the previous EECD values
---
This patch is also filed as upstream QEMU bugs #581737.
While here, several tweaks in Makefile to appease pkglint.
---
The main change between release 0.4.7.2 and 0.6.0 is:
* Since late 2007, a complete rewrite of the emulator's base framework
has been going on. GXemul 0.6.0 is a very early release of the new
framework. So far, only the testm88k machine mode has been rewritten
to use the new framework, all other machine modes run in legacy mode
using the old framework (which is still included).
In other words: For most emulation modes, 0.6.0 will be exactly
like 0.4.7.2.
In addition to the new framework, a couple of other changes are
worth mentioning:
* Many unused, rarely used, and bogus emulation modes and features
were removed, to reduce the maintenance burden.
* Some operating systems listed on the guest OS page have had
new releases; the documentation has been updated to reflect this.
* New source code (but not the legacy part) is documented using
Doxygen comments, and there is a unit testing framework in place.
* There is now finally an install Makefile target, and the -j make
option can be used to parallelize builds.
Please read the HISTORY file for more details.
---
Also update pkgsrc files:
* update COMMENT and DESCR per the latest release note
* remove MAKE_JOBS_SAFE=no as mentioned in the above changes list.
intended, the format string parser that generates the va_list does not support
all formatting characters.
Make this code portable by failing to parse any format string at all, not just
the ones that aren't fully supported.
Bump PKGREVISION for the functional change, though this code is probably
generally unused anyway. Unmark as BROKEN and NOT_FOR_PLATFORM - I think all
uses of va_list casts are inhibited.
Dynagen is a front-end for use with the Dynamips Cisco router emulator.
It uses an INI-like configuration file to provision Dynamips emulator
networks. It takes care of specifying the right port adapters, generating
and matching up those pesky NIO descriptors, specifying bridges,
frame-relay, ATM switches, etc. It also provides a management CLI for
listing devices, suspending and reloading instances, determining and
managing idle-pc values, performing packet captures, etc.
0.2.8-RC2
* mainly a bug fix release
0.2.8-RC1
* hypervisor control protocol has been modified
* Support of the Cisco 1700 platforms, with WIC-1T, WIC-2T and
WIC-1ENET cards
* Support of WIC-1T and WIC-2T for the 2600, 2691, 3725 and 3745.
* Support of NM-NAM and NM-CIDS interfaces.
* Plugin system
* Bug fixes.
snes9x version.
Snes9x 1.52
- IMPORTANT NOTICE: The structure of savestates (also known
as snapshots / freeze files) is incompatible with older
versions! Snes9x 1.52 cannot read the savestates created
by 1.51 or older. (zones)
- Highly acculate SPC700 and S-DSP emulation. (Blargg)
- Replaced APU emulation cores (SPC700 and S-DSP) with
ones provided by Blargg's SNES_SPC library. This renders
savestates incompatible with older versions. (BearOso, zones)
- SPC7110 emulation. (byuu, neviksti)
- Merged bsnes' SPC7110 emulation code. Note that the .rtc
file of Far East of Eden Zero is incompatible with older
versions. (zones)
- Removed graphics pack support. It's no more necessary. (zones)
- Replaced S-RTC emulation code with bsnes' one to keep the
good compatibility of .rtc files between the two
emulators. As a result, Daikaijuu Monogatari 2 now
outputs the .rtc file, and its .srm file is incompatible
with older versions. (zones)
- Added savestate supports for DSP-2, DSP-4, ST-010 and
OBC1. (zones)
- Added UPS support. (byuu)
- Fixed DSP-4 AI problem. (Jonas Quinn)
- Fixed invalid memory accesses in C4 and OBC1 codes. (zones)
- Fixed invalid memory accesses in BSX codes. My mistake. (zones)
- Fixed the read value of $213e, $4210 and $4211. (zones)
- Fixed the writing of word values at the memory boundary. (zones)
- Fixed the bug that the unnecessary SA-1 emulation
continues once any SA-1 games are launched. (zones)
- Removed old color blending codes. (zones)
- Removed too-old Snes96 and ZSNES snapshot support. (zones)
- Updated command-line options. (zones)
- Code cleaning. (zones)
- GTK+ : Added a port of Snes9x to the GTK+ toolkit. (BearOso)
- Unix : Reconstructed and simplified all the contents.
Some features have been removed to be simple, and many
options have changed. GTK+ port is recommended for most
of Linux users. (zones)

New in This Version
* After a long pause, finally updated fMSX-Unix port. fMSX-Unix source code
is once again available as part of the core source code distribution. It
has been debugged on the Ubuntu Linux. Let me know of any incompatibilities
with other Unix flavors.
* Extended fMSX-Symbian port to support UIQ3 phones from Sony Ericsson and
Motorola. As I only have key-operated Motorola Z8, testers with pen-based
SE phones are badly needed.
* Added run-time compatibility with 8bpp, 16bpp, 24bpp (32bit pixels) and
32bpp screen depths to fMSX-Unix. IMPORTANT: At this moment, built-in
config menu, debugger, and NetPlay dialog will only work at X11 screen
depth that matches your compile-time setting (i.e. -DBPPxx) in Makefile.
Make sure you always compile fMSX-Unix for your default screen depth.
* Disabled secondary slots for primary slot #0 in MSX1 mode. DiskROM boots in
MSX1 mode again.
* Now syncing all sound channels after loading state, sound does not get
"stuck" any more.
* Renamed command line option -zoom/-nozoom into -soft/-nosoft.
* Moved a few key definitions, so that "!@#$%^..." characters can now be used
as indices into Keys[]. This is done for compatibility with GDK key events.
* Renamed KeyMap[] to KeyState[] to avoid name clash with MacOSX system API.
* ALT swaps joysticks 1/2 on all platforms where applicable.
* CONTROL/SHIFT keys now act as FIRE-A/FIRE-B joystick buttons on all
platforms.
* Improved fMSX-Symbian sound code, although sound problems still persist on
some UIQ3 phones.
* Split fMSX-Symbian/S60 configuration menu into four tabs, making "Video"
and "Audio" settings separate.
* Added "Audio Latency", "Skip Frames", and "Sync Updates" settings to
fMSX-Symbian.
* Added to fMSX-Symbian ability to use Nokia E61/E62 [FUNC] key in the
built-in menu.

* Added network play option to fMSX-Windows and fMSX-Symbian!
* Now not opening printer file until the first character is printed.
* Fixed OUTD/OUTDR opcodes to modify B register before the OUT operation.
* No longer trying to load state files from LoadFile().
* Defined "INLINE" properly, depending on the C standard supported by the
compiler.
* Finally retired #ifdef SOUND as sound is always compiled in anyway.
* Added new, much better, scanline simulation and video softening effects to
fMSX-Windows.
* fMSX-Windows full-screen mode now runs in 640x480 resolution.
* Fixed problem with full-screen SCREEN 6/7 in fMSX-Windows.
* fMSX-MSDOS has got complete (non-truncated) emulation for SCREEN 6/7 and
TEXT80 screen modes.
* fMSX-MSDOS now always runs in 640x480x15bpp VESA screen mode.
* Added options to simulate TV scanlines (-tv/-notv) and zoom display (-zoom/
-nozoom) to fMSX-MSDOS.
* Options -sync/-nosync/-vsync work properly again in fMSX-MSDOS.
* Added new "Fill & Soften" zoom mode to fMSX-Symbian. It is rather slow
though.
* Added ability to use virtual keyboard in fMSX-Symbian to enter filename
when saving files from the built-in menu.
* Fixed problem with gameplay being too fast in fMSX-Symbian.
* Fixed possible source of instabilities in the S60 open file dialog in
fMSX-Symbian.
* Fixed exit via Symbian-specific menu.
* Fixed premature termination of the emulation thread when exiting
fMSX-Symbian, soundtrack recording and config saving work again.
* The [C] ("Clear") key is no longer used to toggle sound in fMSX-Symbian. It
acts as [BACKSPACE] instead.
New in fMSX 3.3
* Save state format has changed due to serious changes to the emulator
architecture!
* Added OpZ80() function and the FAST_RDOP macro to the Z80 emulation to
optimize code access in architectures with memory-mapped I/O.
* Added subslot support to all slots.
* Moved PAINTER.ROM to slot 0:1, FMPAC to slot 0:2, MSXDOS2.ROM to slot 3:0.
* Reduced the number of user cartridges back to two (A/B). All the other
slots are taken by system cartridges (MSXDOS2, FMPAC, etc.).
* Locked user cartridges in slots 1/2 to subslot 0, as external cartridges
often do not use subslots.

* Added unified .FDI disk image support (FDIDisk.c).
* Added support for standard, SV738, Arabic, and Brazilian WD1793-based disk
interfaces.
* Added support for GZIPped disk images.
* Made disk geometry discovery smarter (CP/M-80 v2.2 now boots).
* Moved 720kB floppy utilities (Floppy.c) and SCC sound chip emulation
(SCC.c) into EMULib.
* Added command line option to patch DiskROM calls (-simbdos). With this
option on, fMSX takes over DiskROM disk access routines. When -wd1793 is
used, fMSX will simulate real WD1793 FDC instead.
* Rehashed built-in menu to make screen space for more options.
* Added menu options to select RAM and VRAM sizes, create new disk images,
save disk images, patch DiskROM calls, load and use fixed text mode fonts.
* Added virtual keyboard to fMSX-Symbian, invoked by pressing [EDIT] or left
[SHIFT] key. The keyboard can work in three modes: "Off", "Single Key
Entry", and "Multiple Keys Entry".
* Added display orientation settings to fMSX-Symbian ("Landscape",
"Portrait", and "Auto").

plain BASIC (i.e. no cartridges and no disks).
* Renamed fMSX-Symbian binary and resource files to avoid name clash with
fMSX/S60 port by Juha Riihimaki.
* Fixed mouse support in fMSX-MSDOS.
New in fMSX 3.2

pass .GZ file names in -diska/-diskb command line options.
* Added transparent support for directories as disks (thanks to Miguel
Colom). You can now pass directory names in -diska/-diskb command line
options. Changes to such disks will not be saved for safety reasons.
* Added DirectDraw-based full screen mode to fMSX-Windows. Press [ALT]+
[ENTER] to switch in and out of the full screen mode. Use it with caution,
as DirectDraw is notoriously unstable.

* fMSX loads files FMPAC.ROM, MSXDOS2.ROM, and PAINTER.ROM automatically, as
long as they are in the program directory and there is an empty cartridge
slot available.
* Added support for ASCII/8kB cartridges with 8kB SRAM (Xanadu, Royal Blood).
Please, inform me if this has broken support for any "normal" ASCII/8kB
cartridges.
* Added support for ASCII/16kB cartridges with 2kB SRAM (Hydlide 2). Please,

from 8 to 64. If any of FreeBSD developers are reading this, could you
explain why this is needed?
New in fMSX 2.7
* Switched to the latest version of the OpenWatcom C/C++ compiler.
* The infamous Windows problem with spaces in directory names seems to be
fixed by using a newer compiler.
