MAME 0.181
Happy new year from the MAME team! To help you celebrate, weâre
unwrapping an extra-special release this month, with enough
improvements to put anyone in a good mood. The exciting news thatâs
got people talking is that protected microcontrollers (MCUs) from
a number of games have been read out and hooked up in MAME. This
gives real, emulated sound in Toaplan's Vimana, Fire Shark (also
known as Same! Same! Same!) and Teki Paki, proper emulation of
Tokio/Scramble Formation, M-chip emulation for Taito Extermination,
Dr Toppel and Plump Pop, MCU emulation for Sega Altered Beast and
Golden Axe, and partial sound in World Beach Volley. There's more
coming on this front, so stay tuned for upcoming releases!
MAME 0.181 also marks the debut of Votrax SC-01 emulation in MAME,
based on reverse-engineering die photographs. The digital section
should be pretty much perfect, although there are still some issues
in the analog section (plosives don't sound quite right). Overall,
it's a huge improvement in Votrax speech synthesis emulation, and
a great leap forward in our understanding of how the hardware works.
It also means speech samples are no longer required for a number
of games.
Building on the ARM improvements in last month's release, we now
have working floppy drives and sound in the Acorn Archimedes driver,
and default NVRAM images for the US Aristocrat Mark 5 games. This
greatly increases the amount of RISC OS software you can try out,
improves the gameplay experience in the Archimedes-based arcade
games, and allows you to play the Aristocrat gamblers without having
to make your way through the setup process first.
MAME's discrete netlist emulation library has been expanded
substantially in this release, including some new classes of devices
like ROMs, and many newly supported logic chips. This will make it
substantially easier to emulate arcade games which used discrete
TTL logic, and as a test of this new functionality, the TTL video
board from the Hazeltine 1500 intelligent terminal is now emulated
using the netlist system. There's ongoing work in this area involving
multiple developers, so look out for more exciting updates in this
space.
Weâve fixed some fairly significant bugs, including one preventing
the debugger from working on Linux or Mac with drivers that use a
dynamic recompiler core, and one that could cause MAME to crash
when using BDF fonts. The internal UI should be more efficient if
you're using icons now, and issues with spurious key repeats should
be reduced. The Beezer driver has been rewritten and should be
improved overall.
There are quite a few newly dumped arcade games in this release,
including Eeekk!, Simpson Junior (a Korean bootleg of J. J.
Squawkers), Power Flipper Pinball Shooting (an updated version of
Grand Cross), a version of Momoko 120% with English text, Miss
World 2002 (an adult Qix game), and alternate versions of The
NewZealand Story, Real Bout Fatal Fury, Space Dungeon, Flicky and
Turbo Force. The Apricot PC and Xi are now working, further increasing
MAME's coverage of DOS-based computers that aren't IBM-compatible.
You can also play with the COP44L version of Entex Space Invader,
and Mattel Funtronics Jacks and Red Light Green Light.
There are far too many improvements to list here, including lots
of fixes for graphics and flip screen issues, but you can read all
about it in the whatsnew.txt file, or grab the source or Windows
binaries from the download page and start playing.
MAME 0.180
Hello everybody! Are you ready for the November MAME release? It's
definitely ready for you, and there are lots of reasons to get
excited this time around. First and foremost, a number of ARM CPU
core fixes mean you can now boot to the RISC OS desktop on an
emulated Acorn Archimedes, and try some of the included applications.
The same bug fixes allow a number of Aristocrat Mark 5 gambling
machines to boot and run in demonstration mode. There are still
some issues to iron out, but things have definitely improved
enormously.
On the arcade front, protection on Atari Space Lords has finally
been reverse-engineered making the game playable. This is an
interesting space combat game for one or two players, where the
second player takes on the role of the gunner/co-pilot. In another
improvement that's been a long time coming, The Acclaim RAX sound
board is now emulated, bringing sound to Batman Forever and NBA
Jam Extreme. There are substantial improvements to the Magnet System
emulation (added in last month's release) making these rare prototype
bootlegs playable. David Haywood also fixed some graphical issues
in Altered Beast, and Angelo Salese fixed graphical issues in The
Lost Castle in Darkmist.
There are some other notable improvements in computer emulation,
too. Barry Rodewald has added support for IC Card (PCMCIA SRAM)
storage on the FM Towns, and substantially improved LSI Octopus
emulation. The Mac 128/512/Plus drivers have been modernised, and
serial port support has been added to the Apple IIgs driver. Another
DEC Rainbow 100 update from Bavarese fixes colours in high-resolution
mode among other improvements.
Newly supported systems include RC De Go (Go By RC outside Japan),
newly dumped versions of 1945k III, Forgotten Worlds, Sol Divide
and Vendetta, the Italian release of Mustache Boy, 286-based versions
of the Intel iSBC, bootlegs of Blue Shark, Pole Position II and
Ozma Wars, more Fidelity and Mephisto chess computers, and more
electronic toys.
Changelog:
== System emulation ==
=== Incompatible changes ===
* The number of allow PCI host bridges for pSeries machine was reduced from 256 to 31 (more can be configured by setting up MMIO windows manually).
* Removed support for tftp:// in the block layer, since this has been broken forever for files bigger than 256KB.
=== Future incompatible changes ===
* Three options are using different names on the command line and in configuration file. In particular:
** The "acpi" configuration file section matches command-line option "acpitable";
** The "boot-opts" configuration file section matches command-line option "boot";
** The "smp-opts" configuration file section matches command-line option "smp".
:-readconfig will standardize on the name for the command line option.
* Behavior of automatic calculation of SMP topology when some SMP topology options for -smp are omitted (sockets, cores, threads) will change in the future. If guest ABI needs to be preserved on upgrades while using the SMP topology options, users should either set set all options explicitly (sockets, cores, threads), or omit all of them.
* Devices "allwinner-a10", "pc87312", "ssi-sd" will be configured with explicit properties instead of implicitly. This is unlikely to affect users.
* QMP command blockdev-add is still a work in progress. It doesn't support all block drivers, it lacks a matching blockdev-del, and more. It might change incompatibly.
* For x86, specifying a CPUID feature with both "+feature/-feature" and "feature=on/off" will cause a warning. The current behavior for this combination ("+feature/-feature" wins over "feature=on/off") will be changed so that "+feature" and "-feature" will be synonyms for "feature=on" and "feature=off" respectively).
=== ARM ===
* Improvements to the Aspeed board.
* Support for HLT semihosting traps in AArch32 mode (both ARM and Thumb).
* The ACPI tables for the "virt" machine type support ITS.
* The Cadence GEM device now supports multiple priority queues through the num-priority-queues property.
* The STM32F2xx board (Netduino 2) now includes ADC and SPI devices.
==== KVM ====
=== MIPS ===
* Support for 24KEc CPUs.
=== PowerPC ===
* Support for POWER9 CPUs.
* Improvements for the new "powernv" platform.
==== pSeries ====
* PCI host bridges can be associated to NUMA nodes.
* Support for more than 1 TiB of guest memory.
* Support for more than 64 GiB of MMIO window in a PCI host bridge.
* Support for the "-prom-env" parameter
=== s390 ===
* Support for CPU models.
* Support for virtio-ccw revision 2.
=== SH ===
=== SPARC ===
=== TileGX ===
=== Tricore ===
=== x86 ===
* Support for several new CPUID features related to AVX-512 instruction set extensions.
* The emulated IOAPIC (used by TCG and, with KVM, if the "-machine kernel_irqchip" option has the value "off" or "split") now defaults to version 0x20, which supports directed end-of-interrupt messages.
* Support for Extended Interrupt Mode (EIM) in the intel_iommu device. EIM requires KVM (Linux v4.7 or newer, for x2APIC support) and "-machine kernel-irqchip=split"; it is enabled automatically if interrupt remapping is enabled ("-machine kernel-irqchip=split -device intel_iommu,intremap=on").
* Support for up to 288 CPUs with the Q35 machine types. 256 or more CPUs are only supported if IOMMU and EIM are enabled.
==== Xen ====
* Support for unplugging SCSI disk.
* Support for SUSE xenlinux-compatible device unplug.
=== Device emulation and assignment ===
* QEMU now includes a generic loader pseudo-device that lets you load multiple images or values into memory at startup. This device is documented in {{src|path=docs/generic-loader.txt}}.
==== ACPI ====
* Support for hotplugging of NVDIMM devices (_FIT)
==== Block devices ====
==== Network devices ====
* Support for fault tolerance based on coarse-grained lock stepping (COLO).
==== SCSI ====
==== PCI/PCIe ====
* The sample EDU device now supports MSI.
* [http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=blob;f=docs/pcie.txt;h=9fb20aaed9f41c302419206e1201d151c35e5a1c;hb=HEAD PCI Express Guidelines documentation] has been added for advice on topology and PCI vs PCIe.
==== USB ====
==== VFIO ====
==== virtio ====
* New device vhost-vsock.
* Initial support for graceful handling of guest errors (i.e. QEMU should not exit on guest errors).
* Support for new virtio-crypto device.
==== Xen ====
* Support for grant copy.
=== Character devices ===
=== Crypto subsystem ===
* Support for more hash algorithms for PBKDF.
* Support for CTR mode.
=== GUI ===
* SPICE can use pure OpenGL rendering if "gl=on" is specified.
=== Monitor ===
=== Migration ===
* Support for fault tolerance based on coarse-grained lock stepping (COLO).
=== Network ===
=== Block devices and tools ===
* More QMP commands support node-name (block-stream, block-commit, blockdev-backup, blockdev-mirror, blockdev-snapshot-delete-internal-sync, blockdev-snapshot-internal-sync, change-backing-file, drive-backup, drive-mirror, nbd-server-add).
* The BLOCK_IO_ERROR event now includes the node name.
* More QMP commands accept device model names (block_set_io_throttle, blockdev-change-medium, eject, x-blockdev-remove-medium, x-blockdev-insert-medium, blockdev-open-tray, blockdev-close-tray)
* The DEVICE_TRAY_MOVED event now includes the device id.
* Throttling now applies to the guest device only, and not to block jobs or the NBD server.
* drive-backup and blockdev-backup support writing out backups in compressed format.
* The LUKS format now can configure the PBKDF iteration count.
* block-stream supports streaming from a backing file to another backing file.
* Support for replication, for coarse-grained lock stepping (COLO) fault tolerance.
* New "dd" subcomamand of qemu-img.
* The DMG driver can be compiled to a separate driver, so as to make QEMU's dependency on libbz2 optional.
* Support for iSER in QEMU's iSCSI initiator through a iser:// URI.
* The NBD client and server support the NBD_CMD_WRITE_ZEROES extension.
* Raw images support "offset" and "size" options to access only a part of the file or device.
=== Tracing ===
* New tracing backend "syslog".
* Support for multiple "-d trace:PATTERN" command-line arguments.
=== CLI options ===
== User-mode emulation ==
=== Removed target support ===
* The unicore32-linux-user target implemented a different system call ABI from mainline Linux for this architecture. Support for it has been dropped.
=== New functionality ===
* Added support for more syscalls including preadv, pwritev, syslog.
* Major scalability improvements for multi-threaded programs (ARM, SPARC, x86).
* QEMU can now understand and generate fence and cmpxchg operations.
== TCG ==
* New TCG primitives have been added for safely modelling architectural synchronisation instructions (e.g. atomics, LL/SC, LOCK prefixes). arm, aarch64, alpha and x86 targets now use these primitives for multi-threaded linux-user programs. TCG target maintainers are encouraged to port their front-ends to use the new facilities.
* The TCG backends now emit appropriate barrier instructions for frontend barriers when running multi-threaded programs. However, emulating a strongly-ordered architecture (e.g., x86) on a weakly-ordered one (e.g., ARM or POWER) will not work yet.
* tb_flush() is finally thread-safe meaning multi-threaded programs are less likely to crash when the translation buffer is reset
* lock contention in the main cpu run-loop has been reduced improving performance for multi-threaded code
* a number of races were identified and fixed
A lot of the TCG work merged in this cycle where prerequisites for supporting multi-threaded system emulation (MTTCG). While full MTTCG support is expected to be merged in the next development cycle, multi-threaded linux-user programs will already benefit from this work.
to take a snapshot from github. Update to 7964e2b72d9.
Changes: too many to list them all, full list of changes is available at
https://github.com/simh/simh/blob/master/README.md
Highlights:
- many new simulators
- simulator front panel API
- VAXstation video display simulation using SDL
- UDP and NAT packet transports
- scripting support
Many of these definitely do not depend on readline.
So there must be a different underlying problem, and that
should be tracked down instead of papering over it.
Solves:
/usr/libexec/binutils225/elf/ld.gold: error: cannot find -lreadline
The missing specification is obvious on DragonFly because there's
no publically accessible version of readline in base.
---------------------------
Emulation:
- Machine:
- Support for MegaST & MegaSTE machines added
(this also replaces the Real Time Clock / RTC option, since this chip
is only available on the Mega machines)
- The general purpose registers of the TT SCU are now correctly emulated
(this fixes the problem with AHDI not finding any partitions during boot)
- HD:
- Fix: Disable GEMDOS opcodes after GEMDOS drive is disabled
- Fix: GEMDOS HD can now be initialized multiple times,
e.g. when running EmuTOS RAM image from a normal TOS
- Fix: WORD access to IDE data register at 0xf00002
- Fix: '*.*' pattern with GEMDOS HD should match also files
without extension
- Video:
- Full rewrite of the GLUE state machine, including support for the
4 wakeup states in STF mode, as well as more accurate video timings
(hbl, timer b, top/bottom and left/right removal, mixing 50/60/71 Hz
lines)
- Correctly shows the last 8 pixels for STE 224 byte overscan
- Fix: reading video counter $FF8205/07/09 after modifying it
while display is ON
- Fix: location of the video counter's restart when screen runs at 60 Hz
- TT: sync ST & TT color registers immediately on write, handle
palette bank setting correctly, fix duochrome colors
- Falcon: handle byte access special case for ST color registers
- Falcon: border color support also in HiColor
- better hbl/timer b interrupts when CPU runs at 16/32 MHz
- Sound:
- Special cases for STE DMA sound when start address = end address
- Increase STE DMA volume when compared to the YM2149 volume
- Greatly improve Falcon DMA sound
- CPU:
- use WinUAE CPU for STF/STE mode too, not just Falcon (old CPU core
is considered deprecated)
- improved IACK and simultaneous interrupts
- access IO regs on 2 cycle boundaries when possible
- More accurate 68060 mode (instructions from previous CPU versions
removed in 68060 aren't accepted/emulated anymore)
- Misc bus error / IO mem register handling fixes for TT & Falcon
(e.g. add TT DIP switch register handler)
- Blitter:
- Better bus arbitration when blitter is started
- Don't cause bus error when accessing regions causing CPU bus error
- Fixes to DSP addressing
- Floppy:
- Fix the value of the WPT bit when inserting/ejecting a write protected
floppy
Are you getting fidgety waiting for Halloween to arrive? Well now
you can take your mind off the wait by giving the brand-new MAME
release a spin! We've changed the release slightly this month: the
whatsnew file is formatted differently, the 32-bit Windows binary
package has "32bit" in its filename, and we're no longer providing
a pre-built debug binary package for Windows. We've dropped the
debug binaries as they don't seem to have a target demographic.
All builds include the MAME debugger. The release packages are
built with symbols that will give a meaningful stack trace. The
debug build was still optimised, so stack traces were no more
precise. The main difference is that debug builds have assertions
enabled which is mainly useful if you're working on the source. In
short, we don't see a use case where someone would be better off
with the debug build if they aren't compiling MAME themselves
anyway.
With that out of the way, what surprises does MAME have in store
for you all this month? We're pretty confident that we have something
for everyone! First of all, we're proud to present the Soviet arcade
game Istrebiteli ("Fighters", as in aircraft). We've also emulated
Ocean to Ocean, an early video slots game on the DECO Cassette
system. ShouTime has worked his magic again, allowing the masses
to see the rare Alpha Denshi title Splendor Blast II. But possibly
most interesting is preliminary emulation of the Magnet arcade
system, a prototype floppy disk-based system from Spain.
We've also added a number of non-arcade systems. There's the Gakken
Game Robot 9 handheld game, and several Fidelity chess systems.
Getting away from games altogether, we've added a working driver
for a VeriFone Trans payment terminal. There have been some
substantial updates to the software lists, too. The Sega CD software
list has been completely updated to use the latest and best dumps
known to exist, we've replaced a number of pirate Apple II disk
images with clean cracks, there are some notable additions to the
Sharp X68000 floppy list, and even an obscene Pokémon hack for
Game Boy that's being sold in China.
according to https://wiki.winehq.org/Gcc :

see scripts/genie.lua. It also mentions GCC 5.2 being problematic
in the same file.
given that nobody has tested it for <5.3, leave it at 5.3 required.
The end of the month is almost here, and it's time to unwrap another
shiny MAME release. This time around we've had the pleasure of
seeing Angelo Salese show us all that he's a bug-fixing machine,
resolving many long-standing bugs in playable games (including
graphical glitches in Combat School, and issues with slopes in
Sunset Riders). Highlights from newly emulated machines include
the Esselte 100 classroom computer from Sweden (thanks Edstrom),
Slap Shooter (courtesy of ShouTime and the Dumping Union), the
French version of the Apple //e Enhanced, the original Japanese
version of Street Fighter with pneumatic buttons (thanks ShouTime),
and the original version of Nintendo's Popeye on Sky Skipper hardware
(yet another gem from ShouTime).
On the gambling front, we have another batch of layouts from John
Parker, clickable button lamps for more machines from einstein95,
and improved inputs/output for a number of games from AJR. Speaking
of inputs and outputs, Risugami added/improved outputs and layouts
for a number of Midway games.
This release includes preliminary support for persistent controller
ID mappings from Tomer Verona. This may help if you're having issues
with Xbox controllers appearing in a different order when you
relaunch MAME. If you're interested, check out the documentation
and see if it helps. It's still not particularly easy to use, but
it's ready for testing and improvement and may be useful, particularly
for people with wireless controllers.
Other notable improvements include working envelope and LFSR
emulation for Mega Duck, better emulation of MCU communication for
Taito Super Qix hardware, support for multiple BBC Micro floppy
drive controllers, restoring the ability to have MAME accept incoming
socket connections to communicate with an emulated serial port,
and more features for the UI graphics viewer.
MAME 0.178 also adds software list updates with the latest prototype
cartridge dumps, numerous bootlegs and alternate versions of
supported games, and steady progress on non-working systems like
the CMI IIx and LSI Octopus.

netbsd won't let you manipulate _res in a multithreaded program and
instead calls abort(). avoid the code that does this for now.

This only affect devices created explicitly with -device; "-drive if=mtd" still works for SPI flash devices created by boards, so this should affect almost no one.
Support for the original qcow2 image encryption has been disabled entirely from the system emulators. While QEMU 2.3 attempted to keep it available in system emulators, a bug in the code has actually broken it since 2.4, and no one complained. Supported for the format remains available only in command line tools qemu-img, qemu-io, qemu-nbd to facilitate data liberation. It is recommended to use 'qemu-img convert' to convert qcow2 encrypted images to uncrypted ones. The new LUKS encryption driver can provide a secure replacement, and a future release may integrate luks into qcow2 natively.
Autoconverge is not considered experimental anymore; autoconverge-related commands do not have the "x-" prefix anymore.
The MIPS64R6-generic CPU model was renamed to I6400.
On Q35 machines, IOMMU are now enabled with "-device iommu" instead of "-machine iommu=on".
Future incompatible changes
Three options are using different names on the command line and in configuration file. In particular:
The "acpi" configuration file section matches command-line option "acpitable";
The "boot-opts" configuration file section matches command-line option "boot";
The "smp-opts" configuration file section matches command-line option "smp".
-readconfig will standardize on the name for the command line option.
Behavior of automatic calculation of SMP topology when some SMP topology options for -smp are omitted (sockets, cores, threads) will change in the future. If guest ABI needs to be preserved on upgrades while using the SMP topology options, users should either set set all options explicitly (sockets, cores, threads), or omit all of them.
Devices "allwinner-a10", "pc87312", "ssi-sd" will be configured with explicit properties instead of implicitly. This is unlikely to affect users.
QMP command blockdev-add is still a work in progress. It doesn't support all block drivers, it lacks a matching blockdev-del, and more. It might change incompatibly.
ARM
The "virt" machine type has support for NUMA.
We now implement an emulated GICv3 interrupt controller, which is supported by the "virt" board and can be enabled with "-machine gic-version=3". Note that many guest OSes do not correctly support a GICv3 without security extensions; if your guest is Linux it must include commit 7c9b973061 "irqchip/gic-v3: Configure all interrupts as non-secure Group-1" or a backport of that patch to one of the stable branches. UEFI and FreeBSD are also known to need similar bug fixes.With a GICv3 the "virt" board now supports TCG (emulated CPU) configurations with more than 8 vCPUs.
New Xilinx Zynq ZCU102 board (-M xlnx-zcu102).
Xilinx Zynq boards have experimental support for ARM Security Extensions.
Xilinx Zynq MP supports DisplayPort (graphics and audio) and DDC (used for EDID info).
i.MX6?
KVM
Xilinx Zynq boards support KVM on AArch64 hosts.
MIPS
Support for 10-bit ASIDs
The MIPS64R6-generic CPU model was renamed to I6400.

Support for LMCE (local MCE) virtualization, which will require Linux 4.8. LMCE can be enabled through "-cpu model,lmce" on all CPUs as long as the kernel supports it.
Device emulation and assignment
ACPI
NVDIMM devices are now described in the ACPI tables and support labels.
new ACPI CPU hotplug MMIO interface since 2.7 machine types for PC/Q35
more than 255 CPUs support
CPU hot-remove support
Guest side CPU hotplug status notification via _OST events
Block devices
Removed dataplane blockers? (Fam)
New -device properties replacing -drive properties?

QEMU now includes iPXE ROMs for vmxnet3 devices.
SCSI
scsi-block now passes sense data correctly to the guest, so that it can support for example persistent reservations.
Support for passthrough of SCSI scanner.
PCI/PCIe
On Q35 machines, IOMMU are now enabled with "-device iommu" instead of "-machine iommu=on".
USB
Support for Xen paravirtualized USB
usb-bot and usb-uas now support hotplug.
VFIO
Support for device assignment of Intel integrated graphics devices.
The SR-IOV capability is now hidden to guests when passing through a physical function.
virtio
Initial reconnect support for vhost-user.
Support for busy polling on vhost-net devices ("-netdev tap,...,poll-us=n").
virtio-gpu multi-monitor fixes
virtio-gpu 2d live migration support
Character devices
QEMU for Windows: Fixed handling of files used for character devices – they are now truncated by default like on Linux.
TLS support
Support for overriding the TLS property, for example "-object tls-creds-x509,...,priority=NORMAL:-VERS-SSL3.0" disables SSL 3.0. This can be used both to use a non-standard weaker set of prioririties, or to enforce a stronger default for QEMU. The default priority can also be specified through "--tls-priority=VALUE" at configure time.
GUI
A new option "-machine graphics=on|off" lets you disable graphics in the VM like "-nographic" (e.g. OpenBIOS will use the serial port for boot messages) but without an implicit "-display none".
Monitor
new 'info hotpluggable-cpus' and corresponding 'query-hotpluggable-cpus' QMP commands
to list present/possible CPUs with properties necessary to add a CPU instance using device_add for a given '-smp ...' layout
supported by x86 and SPAPR softmmu targets
Migration
Autoconverge is not considered experimental anymore. Autoconverge-related commands do not have the "x-" prefix.
TODO: TLS support
Network
User-mode networking supports DHCPv6, RDNSS, DNS6 and link-local DNS addresses.
Socket networking in TCP mode can now run over IPv6. UDP and multicast modes do not support IPv6 yet.
Block devices and tools
New "bench" command in qemu-img .
The "write" command in qemu-io grew "-f" and "-z -u" options.
TODO: Block job ids?
TCG
Speed improvements around 20%.
Fixes for self-modifying code.
Tracing
TODO: dfilter
TODO: tracing for qemu-io, qemu-img and qemu-nbd
CLI options
'-cpu cpu-model,feat1=foo,...' acts as a set of '-global cpu-model-type.feat1=foo' options, which affects initial CPUs as well as all CPUs created with help of -device/device_add/cpu-add for a given cpu-model
doesn't apply to SPARC target which uses legacy -cpu semantics as its features haven't been converted to properties.
Today marks the end of the southern winter/northern summer, and
time for the hotly anticipated August MAME release. Possibly most
importantly, we've fixed the issues that were causing menus to
display off the edge of the screen on Windows (MT06335). We've
integrated a fix for Aimtrack Dual Lightguns on windows from new
contributor Pitou, and the behaviour of XAudio2 sound output should
be much improved when adjusting game speed to match monitor refresh
rate. Mouse behaviour on SDL builds (Linux/Mac) is also improved.
Thanks very much to all the users who reported issues and helped
out testing fixes.
We have lots of newly working computer systems to show off: Xerox
Alto-II, TeleNova Compis (a 16-bit educational computer from Sweden),
Victor 9000, Wang Professional Computer (DOS-based but not IBM
compatible), Atari Portfolio (of Terminator 2 fame), and Vector-06C
(a mass-produced Soviet home computer). Newly working games include
Namco Techno Drive, the original Japanese release of Orca's River
Patrol, Korean puzzle game Intergirl, and gambling game Magical
Butterfly. Speaking of gambling games, this release is a huge update
for BFM, JPM and Maygay fruit machines. John Parker has created a
tool that converts MFME layouts to MAME layouts and contributed
layouts for hundreds of games. This should make it far easier and
more rewarding to work on these drivers.
MAME now includes a driver for a VGM music file player virtual
machine (VGM is a popular video game music file format). This
feature is primarily intended as a way for developers to test sound
cores and do A/B comparisons, as it's a lot easier to just load a
VGM test case than to play a game until it uses the sound chip
feature you want to test, but it's also a convenient way to enjoy
a wide variety of video game music. You can try it out by running
mame vgmplay -bitb file.vgm or choosing "VGM player" from the list
of systems and loading a VGM file in the appropriate media slot
through the internal file manager.
The generic serial terminal and keyboard devices have been greatly
improved. This should make computers controlled via serial port
far more usable. (Keyboard layout, key repeat, simultaneous
keypresses, local echo, auto CR/LF and audible bell have all been
improved and/or made configurable.)
There are a number of improvements for MAME developers and
contributors. We now allow Unicode characters in C++ and Lua source
comments. This can make documentation clearer when referring to
original machine labels. Source files must be encoded in UTF-8 with
no initial byte order mark. Non-ASCII characters are allowed in
comments, but not in most other parts of source files. Source and
comments must still be written in English. We've improved build
times a little, and migrated a lot of MAME-specific constructs to
standard C++14 library features. A number of MAME APIs have been
streamlined and modernised. The palette viewer now shows some
details about the colour swatch under the mouse pointer (press F4
during gameplay to show, this may be interesting to regular users
as well).
Of course, this release also comes with more alternate versions of
games supported (including The NewZealand Story, Metamorphic Force,
Super Hang-On, Terminator 2, Golden Tee '98, Gulf Storm, and Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles), and other fixes and improvements for machines
already emulated by MAME (including Midway V-Unit outputs/layouts
from Risugami and input/output improvements for gambling/medal
games from AJR).
It's the last Wednesday of the month, and time for another MAME
release. We'd like to thank the Debian team for their help during
this development cycle: they've provided patches allowing MAME to
build cleanly on several more platforms, and arranged access to
IBM-sponsored POWER8 machines so we could improve our PowerPC
support.
The popular crt-geom and crt-geom-deluxe shaders have been ported
to BGFX and are now distributed with MAME, thanks to cgwg. The BGFX
versions of these shaders allow live adjustment of effect parameters
through the slider controls menu.
Interesting newly supported games include rare Soviet arcade games
Gorodki and Kot Rybolov, gambling mahjong game Swing Gal, and
alternate versions of Beastie Feastie and Raiden Fighters 2. Graphical
issues have been fixed in Seibu Kaihatsu's Denjin Makai, Godzilla,
Legionnaire and Zero Team, and there are some improvements to the
Tandy CoCo 3 palette. A few remaining gameplay issues in Taito's
Operation Wolf were resolved.
Thanks to a huge group effort involving some of our highly valued
external contributors as well some MAME team members, we've got
some visible progress on the Sun SPARCstation drivers. The SPARCstation
IPC (sun4_40 driver) now passes its self-tests and allows you to
use the OpenBoot interactive Forth interpreter at the ok prompt.
Note that there are still issues with SCSI emulation, so it won't
boot from and emulated hard disk or CD-ROM. In other news for
emulation of professional systems, MAME now supports the TeleVideo
990 and 995-65 terminals.
For people using CRT monitors and/or running games at native
resolution, we've added a lot of characters to the uismall.bdf font
supplied with MAME. It now covers most European languages using
Latin and Cyrillic scripts, as well as modern Greek and half-width
katakana. Changes were also made to improve legibility.
For developers, scrolling and hilighting in the state (registers)
view have been fixed, and viewing memory in the debugger no longer
causes spurious side effects like bank switches in systems like the
Apple II and Osborne 1. There's also been a lot of refactoring and
modernisation, particularly in the netlist and UI code.
Get ready for your vacation and grab MAME 0.175!
We're proud to say MAME now supports a number of previously unemulated
prototypes, alternate versions of games, and unusual systems.
Prototypes include the super-rare Konami Kyuukoukabakugekitai, Home
Data's Mahjong Joshi Pro-wres Give Up 5 Byou Mae, and an early
Japanese version of E.D.F.: Earth Defense Force. Atari Moto Frenzy,
previously lacking protection emulation, is now fully playable.
We've also added a number of gambling games, including some Flaming
7's variants.
Many more Game Boy peripherals are now supported, including real-time
clocks, light sensors and tilt sensors. This makes several previously
unsupported games fully playable.
This release includes improvements to the Sega Master System and
SG-1000 emulation, including better SG-1000 expansion slot support,
and drivers with correct clock speeds for South American Master
System variants.
There's some big news in Sun emulation: all sun3 models will now
POST, MAME has a SPARCv7 CPU core, and there has been substantial
progress towards emulating the SPARCstation 1 (sun4c). Using unidasm
(built with TOOLS=1) you can disassemble SPARCv7 SPARCv7 or SPARCv9
code, incuding all VIS variants up to VIS-3B.
As usual, there are many emulation improvements, including fixes
for keyboard controls in some TRS-80 games, and better Seibu COP
emulation in Legionnaire, Heated Barrel and Godzilla.
In less visible changes, MAME's memory system got a nice cleanup
exposing a number of existing issues which are now fixed, and the
netlist-based discrete circuit simulation code has had a major
overhaul with lots of performance improvements. There are a number
of improvements to MAME's debugger modules in this release,
particularly the imgui-based debugger.

Remove merged patches.
We're pleased to announce the release of MAME 0.174!
This new release includes some exciting newly-playable machines,
including the Tiger Game.com handheld and the ultra-rare Seibu
Kaihatsu title, Metal Freezer.
Meanwhile, the Apple 2 driver now supports the Mockingboard 4C card,
and the regressions in the IT Eagle (Golden Tee Fore) driver's
colors from the previous release have been fixed.
Last but not least, there should be better support for DirectInput
8 on Windows, including supporting older game controllers which
previously only worked using the DirectInput 7 module. If you still
have a controller which DirectInput 8 does not support that you
regularly use, please contact us so that we know what controllers
still do not work.
Changelog:
System emulation
Incompatible changes
The aio=native option to "-drive" now requires the cache=none option, instead of silently disabling itself for other cache modes. The newly invalid combination had been warning since QEMU 2.3.
Specifying block device parameter aio=native is now an error on POSIX systems if qemu is compiled without libaio support. The newly invalid combination had been warning since QEMU 2.3.
The experimental x-drive option for the sdhci-pci device has been removed. Instead of passing a drive directly to the SD controller device you now must create an SD card object (which will automatically be plugged into the SD controller), so "-device sdhci-pci,x-drive=mydrive -drive id=mydrive,[...]" becomes "-device sdhci-pci -device sd-card,drive=mydrive -drive id=mydrive,[...]".
The s390-virtio machine has been removed.
Machine types pc-q35-1.4, pc-q35-1.5, pc-q35-1.6, pc-q35-1.7, pc-q35-2.0, pc-q35-2.1, pc-q35-2.2 and pc-q35-2.3 have been removed.
The "virt" machine type's flash device has changed when TrustZone is active ("-machine virt,secure=on"). The first flash device is only available in secure memory, while the second is available in non-secure memory too.
Future incompatible changes
Three options are using different names on the command line and in configuration file. In particular:
The "acpi" configuration file section matches command-line option "acpitable";
The "boot-opts" configuration file section matches command-line option "boot";
The "smp-opts" configuration file section matches command-line option "smp".
-readconfig will standardize on the name for the command line option.
Behavior of automatic calculation of SMP topology when some SMP topology options for -smp are omitted (sockets, cores, threads) will change in the future. If guest ABI needs to be preserved on upgrades while using the SMP topology options, users should either set set all options explicitly (sockets, cores, threads), or omit all of them.
The original qcow2 image encryption is fatally flawed, and support for it will be disabled entirely from the system emulators. It'll remain available only in command line tools qemu-img, qemu-io, qemu-nbd to facilitate data liberation. It is recommended to use 'qemu-img convert' to convert qcow2 encrypted images to uncrypted ones. The new LUKS encryption driver can provide a secure replacement if raw files are acceptable, while a future release will integrate luks into qcow2 natively.
A few devices will be configured with explicit properties instead of implicitly. Unlikely to affect users; for the full list, see the 2.3 ChangeLog.
QMP command blockdev-add is still a work in progress. It doesn't support all block drivers, it lacks a matching blockdev-del, and more. It might change incompatibly.
ARM
Support for a separate EL3 address space
System mode supports BE8 and BE32. Note that qemu-system-arm can emulate both big-endian and little-endian guests (unlike user-mode emulation which has separate qemu-arm and qemu-armeb binaries).
Support for the SETEND instruction, used most notably on Raspbian through the arm-mem library (previously known as libcofi).
Faster boot thanks to DMA support in fw_cfg
The "virt" machine type supports a virtual power button and the "system_powerdown" monitor command
The "virt" machine type supports configuring network cards with -nic in addition to -netdev
The RAM limit for the "virt" machine type is now 255GB
The "xlnz-zynqmp" machine type now includes SPI controllers
The "xlnx-ep108" machine type now supports SPI flash
New partial Raspberry Pi 2 emulation with "raspi2" machine type. For now, it can boot older releases of Windows and Raspbian, but lacks a number of devices including USB.
New palmetto-bmc machine type using the new, partial ASPEED AST2400 SoC implementation
KVM
Support for guest debugging (software and hardware breakpoints, single step) on AArch64
MIPS
Support for FPU and MSA in KVM guests
Support for R6 Virtual Processors
Initial support for Cluster Power Controller and Global Configuration Registers allowing the guest to control the start of Virtual Processors
Support for Inter-Thread Communication Unit
Support for MAAR registers in P5600 CPU
PowerPC
Improved support for migration of g3beige and mac99 machines
Fix serial ports for g3beige and mac99 machines (OpenBIOS)
The gdb stub supports the VSX instruction set extensions
pSeries
pSeries machine types starting at pseries-2.6 use XHCI as the USB host controller instead of OHCI
Support for more hypercalls (H_SET_SPRG0, H_SET_DABR, H_SET_XDABR and H_PAGE_INIT)
Support for EEH on assigned PCI devices can use the normal spapr-pci-host-bridge instead of the special spapr-pci-vfio-host-bridge.
s390
Fixes and improvements in s390x PCI support
Support for hotplug of s390x cpus via cpu-add
Support for booting from virtio-scsi devices in the s390-ccw bios
SH
SPARC
sun4m: Fix for ldstub instruction resolves several 32-bit Solaris bugs (MUTEX_HELD hang, libC error, Java WebStart segfault)
sun4u: FreeBSD 10.3+ can now run under qemu-system-sparc64 in -nographic mode
TileGX
Tricore
Support for context management, illegal opcode and opd traps
Support for FPU instructions
x86
TCG
Support for the XSAVE/XSAVEOPT, MPX, FSGSBASE and PKE features
KVM
Support for "split irqchip". In this mode, QEMU emulates the IOAPIC, PIC (i8259) and PIT (i8254) devices while leaving the local APIC emulation to the kernel. This mode reduces the attack surface of KVM.
Support for the new PKU feature found in some Skylake processors
Support for migrating the TSC rate
Xen
Q35
Support resume (S3)
Support for legacy Windows guests (XP/2003)
Device emulation and assignment
New IPMI emulation subsystem. QEMU can now emulate an internal BMC or attach to an external BMC simulator such as OpenIPMI's lanserv. IPMI however is not yet exposed in SMBIOS and ACPI tables (do we want to docume?)
FIXME: what's the state of nvdimm?
ACPI
The floppy disk controller's characteristics are now exposed in the ACPI tables, which makes it possible to use floppies on Windows together with UEFI firmware.
Block devices
The floppy disk consk or an empty disk to a 2.88 MB disk
Improved compatibility of the SD device model with various operating systems and firmwares
The NVMe device supports the "bootindex" property.
The SDHCI device supports reset.
ivshmem
No longer available on hosts lacking eventfd(2), because inter-vm interrupts don't work there
New devices ivshmem-plain and ivshmem-doorbell, fully backwards compatible for guests, notable differences to ivshmem:
PCI revision is 1 instead of 0
ivshmem role=master becomes master=on, role=peer becomes master=off
ivshmem x-memdev=ID becomes ivshmem-plain memdev=ID
ivshmem shm=NAME,size=SZ becomes ivshmem-plain memdev=ID, with -object memory-backend-file,id=ID,mem-path=/dev/mem/NAME,size=SZ,share
ivshmem chardev=ID becomes ivshmem-doorbell,chardev=ID
Property ioeventfd defaults to on instead of off
ivshmem-plain never has MSI-X capability, and ivshmem-doorbell always has MSI-X capability
Device ivshmem is deprecated, and its experimental property x-memdev is gone
Interrupting a peer that reuses an unplugged peer's ID works again (broken in v1.2.0)
Unplug no longer destroys the character device, for consistency with other devices
The funny "no shared memory, yet" state is no longer guest-visible, and can no longer fail or mess up migration
Guests may require PCI revision 1 to make sure they're not exposed to the funny state
docs/specs/ivshmem-spec.txt rewritten for completeness and accuracy.
SCSI
Support for the LSI SAS1068 HBA (also known as "MPT Fusion"). Note that some operating systems will not recognize disks attached to this adapter, unless the disks are assigned a world-wide name (WWN).
PCI/PCIe
PCIe Multi-root support (using the new pxb-pcie root-compex)
USB
MTP: initial support for events
VFIO
Support for AMD XGBE platform passthrough
New sysfsdev property provides a more general way to specify the device to attach to.
Provided PCI option ROMs are fixed to include the same vendor and device id as the device exposed to the guest. This facilitates changing the ids of the devices.
virtio
Performance improvements via optimized vring accesses
The balloon driver statistics now include the amount of available memory (corresponding to "Available" in /proc/meminfo for Linux guests).
Character devices
The socket character device backend can now enable TLS over TCP connections, acting either as a TLS server:
$QEMU -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=$HOME/.pki/qemutls,endpoint=server \
-chardev socket,id=s0,host=127.0.0.1,port=9000,tls-creds=tls0,server \
-device isa-serial,chardev=s0 \
...other args...
or a TLS client:
$QEMU -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=$HOME/.pki/qemutls,endpoint=client \
-chardev socket,id=s0,host=127.0.0.1,port=9000,tls-creds=tls0 \
-device isa-serial,chardev=s0 \
...other args...
If operating in server mode, the same set of TLS credentials can be used for both character devices and the VNC server
All character devices can have their output logged to a plain file
$QEMU -chardev stdio,id=mon0,logfile=monitor.log \
-mon chardev=mon0 \
...other args...
will result in logging of all output on the HMP monitor. The logappend parameter controls whether the file is truncated at startup, defaulting to append.
GUI
SDL2 and SPICE now support OpenGL and virgl. For SPICE, Unix sockets are the only usable transport when OpenGL is enabled.
The "-vnc" and "-display vnc" options support ipv4=off and ipv6=off. Previously, only "ipv4" and "ipv6" were available.
Support getting input events directly from linux evdev devices, using "-object input-linux,id=$name,evdev=/dev/input/event$nr"
Support for ncurses on Windows.
Monitor
Support for a new "detach" option to "dump-guest-memory". The option dumps memory in the background. Progress can be queried using the new commands "info dump" (human monitor) and "query-dump" (QMP), as well as through the QMP event DUMP_COMPLETED.
Support for a new command "input-send-event" replacing the previous experimental command "x-input-send-event".
The human monitor command "drive_add -n" allows creating block devices that do not have a BlockBackend (similar to QMP blockdev-add).
Migration
Postcopy is not experimental anymore; the x-postcopy-ram capability was renamed to postcopy-ram.
Network
SLIRP now supports IPv6 for ICMP, UDP, TCP and TFTP.
mirror filter which can mirror traffic from netdev to socket chardev, vice versa.
redirector filter which can redirect traffic from netdev to socket chardev, vice versa.
Secret passing system
There is a new standard mechanism for securely passing secret credentials to QEMU, which will be used in combination with other subsystems. For example, network block device passwords, block device decryption passphrases, or TLS private key passwords can all use the same mechanism.
Passing credentials inline (insecure, only for developer testing)
$QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,data=letmein
Passing credentials via a plain file
$QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,file=mypassword.txt
Passing credentials via a base64 encoded file
$QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,file=mypassword.txt,format=base64
Passing credentials inline, encrypted with a master key (recommended for management apps)
$QEMU -object secret,id=master0,file=mykey.b64,format=base64 \
-object secret,id=sec0,data=[base64 ciphertext],\
keyid=master0,iv=[base64 IV],format=base64
TLS credential handling
It is now possible to use encrypted TLS private keys with credentials for TLS servers/clients in QEMU. The password for unlocking the private key is provided by a secret object whose id is specified via the passwordid' property
$QEMU -object secret,id=tlskey0,file=mypassword.txt \
-object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=$HOME/.pki/qemutls,endpoint=server,passwordid=tlskey0 \
...other args...
Block devices
Block device throttling now support specifying a burst length as well. While previously the burst could only be specified as a total number of IOPS (e.g. 10000 IOPS), more complex specifications such as "10000 IOPS for 10 seconds" are now possible. Note that, because of the implementation of the algorithm, a guest that is allowed "10000 IOPS for 10 seconds" will also be allowed to perform for example 5000 IOPS for 20 seconds.
The curl block device driver now supports HTTP authentication and HTTP proxy authentication via the new properties 'username', 'password-secret', 'proxy-username' and 'proxy-password-secret'.
$QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,file=password.txt \
-object secret,id=sec1,file=proxy-password.txt \
-drive driver=http,host=localhost,port=443,username=fred,password-secret=sec0,proxy-username=bob,proxy-password-secret=sec1 \
...other args...
The RBD block device driver can now use the secret object type to securely receive the authentication password without exposing it in the command line args
$QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,file=password.b64,format=base64 \
-drive driver=rbd,filename=rbd:pool/image:id=myname:auth_supported=cephx,password-secret=sec0 \
...other args...
The iSCSI block device driver can now use the secret object type to securely receive the authentication password without exposing it in the command line args
$QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,file=password.txt \
-iscsi user=fred,password-secret=sec0 \
-drive file=iscsi://192.168.122.1:3260/iqn.2013-12.com.example%3Aiscsi-chap-netpool/1
NB this syntax requires that all iSCSI backed drives use the same password
The qemu-io tool gained support for new '--object' and '--image-opts' arguments. The --object argument allows 'secret' and 'tls-creds-x509' objects to be defined for use in association with a block device backend. The '--image-opts' argument instructs qemu-io to parse the image string as a set of image options, instead of a plain filename. For example, to connect qemu-io to an NBD server using TLS
qemu-io -c "read 0 512" \
--object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=$HOME/.pki/qemutls,endpoint=client \
--image-opts driver=nbd,host=localhost,port=10809,tls-creds=tls0
The qemu-nbd tool gained support for new '--object' and '--image-opts' arguments. The --object argument allows 'secret' and 'tls-creds-x509' objects to be defined for use in association with a block device backend or the NBD server. The '--image-opts' argument instructs qemu-io to parse the image string as a set of image options, instead of a plain filename. For example, to connect qemu-nbd to an HTTP server with authentication and export it over NBD using TLS
qemu-nbd --readonly \
--object secret,id=sec0,file=passwd.txt \
--object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=$HOME/.pki/qemutls,endpoint=server \
--image-opts driver=http,url=http://some.random.host/some/image,username=fred,password-secret=sec0
The qemu-img tool gained support for new '--object' and '--image-opts' arguments. The --object argument allows 'secret' and 'tls-creds-x509' objects to be defined for use in association with a block device backend or the NBD server. The '--image-opts' argument instructs qemu-io to parse the image string as a set of image options, instead of a plain filename. For example, to a remote HTTP server with authentication
qemu-img info --object secret,id=sec0,file=passwd.txt \
--image-opts driver=http,url=http://some.random.host/some/image,username=fred,password-secret=sec0
Support for deleting snapshots on Sheepdog devices.
The NBD client and server now support use of TLS. When enabled, the server will mandate that the client also enable TLS and drop any client which attempts to continue in plain text. To run a qemu-nbd server with TLS:
qemu-nbd --object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=$HOME/.pki/qemutls,endpoint=server \
--tls-creds tls0 \
/path/to/disk/image
To connect to a server that requires TLS with qemu-img:
qemu-img info --object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=$HOME/.pki/qemutls,endpoint=client \
--image-opts driver=nbd,host=localhost,port=10809,tls-creds=tls0
To start a VM pointing to the NBD server
$QEMU -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=$HOME/.pki/qemutls,endpoint=client \
-drive driver=nbd,host=localhost,port=10809,tls-creds=tls0 \
...other args...
The NBD server gained support for specifying an export name. When the client negotiates use of the new style NBD protocol the default export name is "". The --exportname argument allows this to be customized:
qemu-nbd --exportname myvol /path/to/myvol.qcow2
QEMU gained support for volumes formatted with the LUKSv1 data format. To format a new LUKS volume
qemu-img create -f luks \
--object secret,id=sec0,file=passphrase.txt \
-o key-secret=sec0 \
demo.luks 10G
To boot a guest from a LUKS volume:
$QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,file=passphrase.txt \
-drive driver=luks,key-secret=sec0,file=demo.luks \
...other args...
The LUKS implementation is intended to be compatible with that used by cryptsetup/dm-crypt, so it should be possible to use disk images interchangeably between them. The only caveat is that some less common cipher/hash algorithms are not yet supported by QEMU. It is also not yet possible to manage key-slots with qemu-img.
TCG
Record/replay support extended to cover character devices.
Tracing
The "stderr" tracing backend was replaced by the "log" tracing backend, which is now the default. This backend prints tracing messages to the destination specified with the "-D" option.
In addition to the existing "-trace file=...", tracepoints can be enabled using "-trace [enable=]...". The new option also supports globbing, as in "-trace bdrv_aio_*".
In addition to the existing "-trace file=...", tracepoints can be enabling using "-d trace:...". This option also supports globbing, as in "-d trace:bdrv_aio_*".
When using "-daemonize", the "-D" option also provides the file to which QEMU's stderr output will be redirected.
TCG supports a new "-dfilter" option to limit exec, out_asm, op and op_opt logging to a range of guest physical addresses. ARM also applies the filter to in_asm logging; this will be extended to other targets in future releases (FIXME: probably should do it now instead...)
A "%d" substring in the log file name is replaced with QEMU's pid.
User-mode emulation
The default CPU for ppc64 and ppc64le is now POWER8
To quote abs:
I don't know why this package has a manually maintained list of gcc versions
to exclude LTO on, but for now just add 4.8.5. Fixed build on netbsd-7
No PKGREVISION bump as will only affect platforms which did not build before
It's the end of another month, and time for a new MAME release.
This time there are more improvements for capabilities we have added
in previous versions.
MAME now includes ports of some popular shaders for the BGFX renderer,
including the EAGLE, HQx and xBR scaling effects. Please be aware
that the BGFX renderer is still a work in progress, and you may
experience some stability issues when using it.
This release introduces a new cheat engine based on the Lua scripting
language. This opens the door to exciting new possibilities. One
of the most significant improvements is better support for systems
with banked memory, including many 8-bit home computers like the
Apple II family.
MAME's archive file handling has been improved in a number of ways.
ZIP64 format is now supported, allowing MAME to archives over 4GiB
in size. This mean that, for example, large flyer collections don't
need to be unzipped for use with the internal UI. 7zip support has
been updated for the latest 7zip release, including new archive
features and many bug fixes. We've also fixed a number of bugs in
the internal file browser.
Of course this release also includes many other improvements from
the MAME team and external contributors.
It's with great pleasure that we announce the release of MAME 0.172.
This release includes several notable things above and beyond the
usual assortment of new systems, new features, and bug fixes.
Most importantly, this is the first release of MAME since the change
to a proper open-source licensing scheme as announced earlier this
month. From this release onward, MAME will be distributed under a
GPL-2.0+ license, with the bulk of code being covered under a
3-clause BSD license.
MAME now has an up-to-date set of documentation! You can find it
under the "Documentation" drop-down at the top of this site, or go
to http://docs.mamedev.org/ to check it out.
Due to the large number of configuration changes made in this
version, we strongly advise all users to delete their existing INI
configuration files and re-create them using the "-cc" option.
In case you are just overwriting previous release files note that
you better remove plugin folder first
For those of you running MAME on authentic CRT monitors, MAME now
incorporates a number of scaling-related features from GroovyMAME,
thanks to its author being brought on board the team, which should
help reduce user fragmentation. Please note: If you have issues
with MAME 0.172's graphics output, please ensure that "unevenstretch"
is set to 1 in your MAME configuration.
MAME 0.172 will also introduce a new high-score saving system using
Lua scripting. The feature is still experimental, but it's something
to keep an eye on for interesting future developments!
This version additionally marks the creation of a cross-platform
data-driven shader system via the BGFX renderer, which allows you
to apply shader effects per-screen, and more.
* Fix DISTNAME as original
Changelog:
Add instructions to build on Windows
Remove libuuid dependency and NIO Multicast implementation that depends on it. NIO Multicast is never used and maybe not even functional. This will simplify the compilation requirements, especially on Windows with Cygwin
EthernetSwitch: Allow to choose ethertype for QinQ outer tag
modern compilers, turn off -Werror globally and avoid the creeping
failures each compiler update (this affects both gcc and clang.)
apply -fno-strict-aliasing for all foreseeable future gcc versions.
this now works with gcc 5.3.
ok wiz, joerg
This fixes building emulators/qemu on netbsd-7 (amd64).
On a related note, it may also make sense to include
security/nettle/buildlink3.mk to the build.
Upstream changes:
- Update copyright years. Noticed by Margo Seltzer.
- Fix handling of file creation in emufs, again.
- Fix another issue with dropped input handling, reported by Sam
Fishman.
- Print more info with exception traces.
- Remove obsolete disk sizes from sys161.conf.sample.
- Reuse emufs handles when the same object is reopened. ".." usage
now behaves itself. Mostly from Sam Fishman.
- Remove stray debug print.

the Arkanoid (older) sets to use original Taito A75 06 MCU code as
opposed to the bootleg MCU code used until now. The 3 (newer) and 1
Tournament sets still use hand-hacked bootleg MCU code until original
MCU chips can be dumped and/or decapped. All 9 of the dumped Arkanoid

-Some more validity checking improvements: [AJR]
* The -validate command now accepts an optional string, validating only
matching drivers. This has proven useful for debugging. The default is
to validate all drivers as usual.

Changelog:
== System emulation ==
* guard pages are now inserted after guest RAM, to guard against guest-triggered buffer overflow attacks
=== Incompatible changes ===
* The mips32r5-generic CPU was renamed to P5600
* Host floppy device pass-through (block driver "host_floppy") has been removed; it is still possible to use them just like any other device file, however, a medium change will no longer be passed through to the guest
=== Future incompatible changes ===
* Three options are using different names on the command line and in configuration file. In particular:
** The "acpi" configuration file section matches command-line option "acpitable";
** The "boot-opts" configuration file section matches command-line option "boot";
** The "smp-opts" configuration file section matches command-line option "smp".
:-readconfig will standardize on the name for the command line option.
* Behavior of automatic calculation of SMP topology when some SMP topology options for -smp are omitted (sockets, cores, threads) will change in the future. If guest ABI needs to be preserved on upgrades while using the SMP topology options, users should either set set all options explicitly (sockets, cores, threads), or omit all of them.
* Image encryption is fatally flawed, and will be dropped entirely. It'll remain available only in qemu-img, so you can use 'qemu-img convert' to convert encrypted images to uncrypted ones.
* Block device parameter aio=native has no effect without cache.direct=on. It will be made an error.
* Block device parameter aio=native has no effect if qemu is compiled without libaio support. It will be made an error.
* A few devices will be configured with explicit properties instead of implicitly. Unlikely to affect users; for the full list, see the 2.3 ChangeLog.
* QMP command blockdev-add is still a work in progress. It doesn't support all block drivers, it lacks a matching blockdev-del, and more. It might change incompatibly.
* The s390-virtio machine has been deprecated for 2.5; it will be removed in 2.6. s390x users should switch to the (default) s390-ccw-virtio machine.
* Changes to device "sdhci-pci" will make migration between old and new versions impossible.
* We intend to drop support for running QEMU on MacOSX 10.5 hosts in the QEMU 2.6 release, unless somebody who uses it wishes to step forward and help us with regular testing.
=== Alpha ===
=== ARM ===
* The "virt" machine type supports passing SMBIOS to the firmware.
* Semihosting support on AArch64
* New i.MX31 SoC.
* The ZynqMP and Allwinner A10 platforms support AHCI.
* Support for VGICv3 in KVM
* Support for GICv3 in the ACPI tables.
* The "virt" machine now has a second PCIe MMIO region of 512GB in size in high memory. Note that older 32-bit ARM Linux kernels built without CONFIG_LPAE have a bug where the presence of this region in high memory causes them to refuse to use the PCIe controller at all. In this case you can either reconfigure your kernel with CONFIG_LPAE=y, or pass QEMU the "-machine highmem=off" option to disable the use of high memory for PCIe. The kernel bug is expected to be fixed in Linux kernel release 4.4.
=== MIPS ===
* The mips32r5-generic CPU was renamed to P5600
* Improvements to MIPS R6 emulation
=== PowerPC ===
==== pSeries ====
* Support for memory hotplug
* The shipped version of SLOF includes GPT support.
* Using VFIO doesn't need spapr-pci-vfio-host-bridge anymore.
* virtio-vga now supported on sPAPR guests.
* [[Features/HRandomHypercall | H_RANDOM hypercall]] device for providing good random data to the guests.
==== Mac99 ====
* Improve ability to boot MacOS 9 (based upon GSoC project "Implement support for Mac OS 9 in QEMU " by Cormac O'Brien)
=== s390 ===
* Storage keys are migrated.
* New "info skeys" command in HMP to dump the storage key for a given address.
* Support for virtio 1 in the virtio-ccw devices.
** A maximum virtio-ccw revision can be specified via the "max_revision" property: max_revision=0 may be used to enforce usage of legacy virtio mode.
* Support for boot from El Torito iso images on virtio-blk has been added.
=== SH ===
=== SPARC ===
* sun4u: Fix EBus device enumeration under FreeBSD SPARC64 (OpenBIOS)
=== TileGX ===
* New target.
=== x86 ===
* The emulated IOMMU (VT-d) supports devices behind a bridge
* QEMU will warn when using a "-cpu" model that includes unsupported features. These features are disabled automatically, just like in previous versions of QEMU
* /machine/icc-bridge was removed from the QOM tree. Software relying on icc-bridge to find CPU objects should use the "qom_path" field of "query-cpus" QMP command
==== CPU models and features ====
* Haswell and Broadwell CPU models now include ABM
* Cache information passthrough (which was enabled by default on "-cpu host") is now disabled by default
* ABM, POPCNT, and SSE4a are not enabled in the default CPU models (qemu64, qemu32) anymore, as many hosts don't support it
* RDTSCP was removed from AMD CPU models, as current KVM versions can't expose RDTSCP to guests in AMD hosts
* New Intel memory instructions (clflushopt/clwb/pcommit) are now supported
* TCG now supports Debug Extensions (CR4.DE)
==== KVM ====
* Support for Hyper-V-compatible reporting of crashes.
==== Xen ====
* Support for passthrough of Intel integrated GPUs.
=== Device emulation and assignment ===
* fw_cfg supports a DMA interface on ARM and x86. This interface makes -kernel/-initrd much faster if supported by the firmware. SeaBIOS supports the DMA interface starting with release 1.9.0 (commit 06316c9d). The UEFI guest fw for ARM VMs (known as ArmVirtQemu or AAVMF) supports the DMA interface starting with git commit 953bcbcc / SVN r18545.
==== ACPI ====
==== Audio ====
==== Block devices ====
==== Character devices ====
==== IDE ====
* AHCI ATAPI PIO transfers greater than one sector are fixed. This helps on OVMF, which utilizes such transfers.
* Zero byte count limits will no longer hang ATAPI drives.
* ATAPI PIO reads, when the byte count limit is set to the ATAPI block size, are now asynchronous. This should help to prevent hangs due to missing CDROM media mounted via NFS.
==== Mouse/keyboard ====
==== Network ====
==== SCSI ====
* scsi-generic devices now can be used together with a "readonly=on" backend.
==== Shared memory device ====
* A sample implementation of the ivshmem client and ivhsmem server is included with QEMU.
* ivshmem supports a new "x-memdev" property that uses a memory object for the backend. This makes it possible to use ivshmem with a hugetlbfs backend. This property is experimental and may be removed in future release in favour of an alternative ivshmem device.
* Use kvm irqfd for msi notifications
* Protocol change, native long -> LE int64_t
==== PCI/PCIe ====
* hotplug support added for multifunction devices. To use, add all functions except function 0 first. Adding function 0 exposes the device to the guest. Request removal on function 0. On guest acknowledge, all functions are ejected together.
==== TPM ====
==== VFIO ====
==== virtio ====
* virtio-gpu now supports 3D mode
* vhost-user now supports live migration. client changes are required to enable this. When used with an old client without migration support, vhost-user will now block migration (instead of failing silently)
* vhost-user now supports multi-queue. Use queues=# to enable this. client changes are required to enable this mode. When used with an old client without multi-queue support, device will automatically fall back on using a single pair of queues.
* vhost-user protocol now includes protocol feature negotiation, including multiple new messages. When used with old clients, all new messages are automatically disabled.
* vhost-user no longer sents the RESET_OWNER message on device stop. The only QEMU version that sent it was 2.4, the message is now officially deprecated.
* migration now works when virtio 1 is enabled for virtio-pci
* For virtio-pci, virtio 1 performance on kvm on Intel CPUs has been improved (on kernel 4.4 and up).
* a new flag modern-pio-notify can be used to enable PIO for notifications in virtio 1 mode, to improve performance for host kernels older than 4.4, and processors without EPT support.
* virtio devices can now be placed on the pci express bus
* vhost is no longer disabled when guest does not use MSI-X. The vhostforce flag is no longer required.
* in virtio 1 mode, scsi passthrough is now disabled for virtio blk
* Please note that for virtio-pci, the modern (virtio 1) interface is still disabled by default. To enable, set the flag disable-modern=off.
==== VGA ====
=== Character devices ===
=== GUI ===
* New syntax for enabling TLS in the VNC server:
** Equivalent to <tt>-vnc hostname:0,tls</tt>: <tt>-object tls-creds-anon,id=tls0,endpoint=server -vnc hostname:0,tls-creds=tls0</tt>
** Equivalent to <tt>-vnc hostname:0,tls,x509=/path/to/certs</tt>: <tt>-object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,endpoint=server,dir=/path/to/certs,verify-peer=no -vnc hostname:0,tls-creds=tls0</tt>
** Equivalent to <tt>-vnc hostname:0,tls,x509verify=/path/to/certs</tt>: <tt>-object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,endpoint=server,dir=/path/to/certs,verify-peer=yes -vnc hostname:0,tls-creds=tls0</tt>
* The Cocoa GUI does not have show an 'open image file' dialog box anymore even if QEMU is started without arguments
* Thu curses GUI supports 256 colors and line graphics.
=== Monitor ===
* New "info iothreads" command.
* New "query-qmp-schema" command allows the caller to [[Features/QMP/Introspection | introspect the QMP schema]] used by QEMU.
=== Migration ===
* [[Features/PostCopyLiveMigration | Postcopy migration]] for migration of large/busy guests
* A more flexible [[Features/AutoconvergeLiveMigration | auto-converge mechanism]] (for busy guests)
=== Network ===
* Support for multiqueue in vhost-user.
* Support for network filters. Currently, the only filter objects are "filter-buffer", which batches packets every N microseconds, and "filter-dump", which can be used to log the network traffic in a file. Filters are attached to a netdev device using e.g. "-object filter-buffer,id=filter,netdev=net0,queue=rx,interval=1000" (which creates a 1ms filter-buffer).
=== Block devices in system emulation ===
=== Command-line options ===
=== TCG ===
* Improved system emulation performance for targets with software TLBs (e.g. SPARC).
* Initial support for [[Features/record-replay | record/replay]].
== Block devices and tools ==
* The HMP "change" command (QMP's “"lockdev-change-medium") now allows you to change the read-only mode of the device (e.g. when inserting a read-only floppy disk image into a previously R/W drive)
* Fine-grained control over a block device's tray with the new QMP commands "blockdev-open-tray", "blockdev-close-tray", "x-blockdev-insert-medium", and "x-blockdev-remove-medium" (the latter two are experimental for now)
* New "reopen" command in qemu-io
* block-dirty-bitmap-add and block-dirty-bitmap-clear transaction actions have been added to now fully support (transient) incremental bitmap usage and management.
* QMP transactions now support a "completion-mode" parameter which controls the completion behavior of jobs launched by transactions, which will allow them to fail together. See the [https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/master/docs/bitmaps.md bitmaps.md] documentation for how this affects incremental backups.
* Block I/O accounting can now report average queue depth, min/avg/max latency, and failed/invalid request counts
* qcow2 learnt a new option ''cache-clean-interval'', which allows to free unused cache entries after some time.
* An experimental QMP command ''x-blockdev-del'' was added as a completement for the (also still experimental) ''blockdev-add'' command.
* A new QMP command ''blockdev-snapshot'' that allows creating a snapshot using as overlay an image previously opened with ''blockdev-add''. This allows opening the overlay image with arbitrary run-time options, solving one of the limitations of ''blockdev-snapshot-sync''.
* It is now possible to open an image without its backing file by specifying the empty string as a backing file reference when opening the image. This is useful for creating snapshots, since images opened with ''blockdev-add'' are not supposed to have a backing file before the ''blockdev-snapshot'' operation.
* Host CD-ROM support now works on Mac OS X hosts
* Host floppy support has been removed (it was deprecated in QEMU 2.3)
* The temporary "x-data-plane=on/off" option for virtio-blk device is removed now, all users are requested to use the canonical "-object iothread,id=<id> -device virtio-blk,iothread=<id>,..." syntax.
== Audio ==
== Guest agent ==
* Add an optional qemu-ga.conf system configuration
* Support for dumping the configuration current file with --dump-conf
* Win32 support for guest-set-user-password
* New command guest-exec
== User-mode emulation ==
* The configure option --disable-guest-base has been removed.
== Build dependencies ==
* libcacard has been moved to a standalone project, hosted at git://anongit.freedesktop.org/spice/libcacard. The libcacard library from QEMU 2.4 can also be used to build QEMU 2.5.
* virtio-gpu 3D support requires virglrenderer.
== Known issues ==
* SDL audio only works with SDL 1.x.
* 64-bit QEMU might crash on Windows (problems with stack unwinding, depends on build environment, [8fa9c07c9a possible fix])
* QEMU's configure script fails with pdksh from OpenBSD (see [https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1525682 bug #1525682]. Using another shell with configure should work.

-peplus.c: Documentation update based on newly found PSR (Program
Summary Report). [Kevin N, BrianT]
-TMS5xxx: Fix for occasional audio 'spike' instability/wraparound
glitches caused by improper truncation in the lattice filter
multiplier. This is not an optimal fix as it isn't correct to
hardware, but it works better than the previous approximation.
[Lord Nightmare]
-Derived a new machine with improved memory map, remapped the roms
load, and created proper inputs set for Genie (ICP-1, set 2). Also
added technical notes and findings... [Roberto Fresca]
-Goldnpkr.c driver: Added games and technical notes, and some
clean-ups... [Roberto Fresca]
-Fix all instances of PVS-Studio warning V578, "An odd bitwise operation
detected. Consider verifying it". [MooglyGuy]

-naomi.c: added "NAOMI Development BIOS v1.10" [Andy Geezer, MetalliC]
-Aristocrat MKIV driver: Changed the Fever Pitch input scheme and
artwork layout, since it seems that the game lacks of a gambling or
double-up feature. Also cleaned a bit the driver. [Roberto Fresca]
-Aristocrat MKIV driver: Fever Pitch service input is just 'reserve'
feature/function. Changed the inputs and artwork layout accordingly.
[Roberto Fresca]
-HLSL [ImJezze]
* removed duplicate prescale fields

changed
* removed hardcoded HLSL presets
* updates HLSL readme
* fixed creation order of D3D and HLSL resources
* sliders will be hidden when toggled off and will be shown when
toggled on again
* screen adjustment (scale, offset) can now be handled by the
respective render API itself (default behavior is as before)
* D3D (if HLSL) is activated handles screen adjustment by itself
within the shader, which fixes the odd behavior of some effects
(e.g. round corners) when screen scale and offset is used
* fixed bug that resets the HLSL settings when switching between
window mode and fullscreen
* fixed changed screen adjustment for multi screens
* the vector renderer now tries to detect a invariabel vector
intensity and disables the calculation of a dynamic beam width
* fixed not used HLSL settings from <custom>.ini if MAME was started
without driver parameter
* removed default values from HLSL sliders, the defaults here are
more like null values to hint when an effect would be disable
* slightly changed default HLSL settings

-vrender0: allow resolutions higher than 512x240 [Luca Elia]
-Updated OS/2 support for GEnie and MAME [KO Myung-Hun]
-mcatadv.c: Improved Nostradamus emulation [David Haywood]
* Sprite masking effect supported (stage 6 boss)
* Tilemap enable supported (flickering shadow for stage 7 boss)
* Priority 0 sprites now shown (final boss arms)
* BG colour changed to more likely pen (fade in/out on intro & end)
-se3208: make sure the low bits of the stack pointer are always 0 [Luca Elia]
-se3208.c: disallowed unaligned dword reads/writes, this allows
Donggul Donggul Haerong to function, although not 100% sure it's the
correct fix [David Haywood]
-Allow for Emscripten compile to JavaScript out of the box. [Justin Kerk]
MAME can now be built using Emscripten's 'emmake' tool, e.g. like so:
emmake make SUBTARGET=pacman SOURCES=src/mame/drivers/pacman.cpp
This should produce a .js file which can be supplied to an HTML front-end.

UAE/WinUAE, with a focus on emulating games.
Features include emulation of Amiga 500, 1200, 4000, CD32 and CDTV,
perfectly smooth scrolling on 50Hz displays, support for floppy images in
ADF and IPF formats, CD-ROM images in ISO or BIN/CUE format, mounting folders
on your computer as Amiga hard drives, support for Picasso 96 drivers for
high-color and high-resolution Workbench displays, and more...
A unique feature is support for cross-platform online play. You can now play
Amiga games against (or with) friends over the Internet.
The emulator uses the latest Amiga emulation code from the WinUAE project
and requires a moderately fast computer with accelerated graphics (OpenGL)
to work. A game pad or joystick is recommended, but not required (FS-UAE
can emulate a joystick using the cursor keys and right ctrl/alt keys).

8086tiny is a free, open source PC XT-compatible emulator/virtual
machine written in C. It is, we believe, the smallest of its kind
(the fully-commented source is around 28K). Despite its size,
8086tiny provides a highly accurate 8086 CPU emulation, together
with support for PC peripherals including XT-style keyboard,
floppy/hard disk, clock, timers, audio, and Hercules/CGA graphics.
8086tiny is powerful enough to run software like AutoCAD, Windows
3.0, and legacy PC games: the 8086tiny distribution includes Alley
Cat, the author's favorite PC game of all time.
8086tiny is highly portable and runs on practically any little
endian machine, from simple 32-bit MCUs upwards. 8086tiny has
successfully been deployed on 32-bit/64-bit Intel machines (Windows,
Mac OS X and Linux), Nexus 4/ARM (Android), iPad 3 and iPhone 5S
(iOS), and Raspberry Pi (Linux).
The philosophy of 8086tiny is to keep the code base as small as
possible, and through the open source license and repository on
GitHub encourage individual developers to tune and extend it as
per their specific requirements, adding support, for example, for
more complex instruction sets (e.g. Pentium) or peripherals (e.g.
mouse). Any questions, comments or suggestions are very welcome in
our forum.

* vnc: fix memory corruption (CVE-2015-5225)
The _cmp_bytes variable added by commit "bea60dd ui/vnc: fix potential
memory corruption issues" can become negative. Result is (possibly
exploitable) memory corruption. Reason for that is it uses the stride
instead of bytes per scanline to apply limits.
For the server surface is is actually fine. vnc creates that itself,
there is never any padding and thus scanline length always equals stride.
For the guest surface scanline length and stride are typically identical
too, but it doesn't has to be that way. So add and use a new variable
(guest_ll) for the guest scanline length. Also rename min_stride to
line_bytes to make more clear what it actually is. Finally sprinkle
in an assert() to make sure we never use a negative _cmp_bytes again.

Changelog:
# System emulation
## Incompatible changes
* The handling of the floppy device controller is different between <2.4 and >=2.4 machine types that use the Q35 chipset (e.g. "-M pc-q35-2.3" vs. "-M pc-q35-2.4"). This can cause problems if you are defining floppy drives with command-line options such as "-global isa-fdc.driveA=id.
* The ARM 'virt' board default interface type has changed from IDE to virtio. This means that some incorrect command lines that we previously silently accepted will now fail with an error message like "qemu-system-arm: -drive file=img.qcow2,id=foo: Drive 'foo' is already in use because it has been automatically connected to another device (did you need 'if=none' in the drive options?)". As the error message suggests, you should add "if=none" to the -drive option to fix this.
## Future incompatible changes
* Three options are using different names on the command line and in configuration file. In particular:
** The "acpi" configuration file section matches command-line option "acpitable";
** The "boot-opts" configuration file section matches command-line option "boot";
** The "smp-opts" configuration file section matches command-line option "smp".
-readconfig will standardize on the name for the command line option.
* Behavior of automatic calculation of SMP topology when some SMP topology options for -smp are omitted (sockets, cores, threads) will change in the future. If guest ABI needs to be preserved on upgrades while using the SMP topology options, users should either set set all options explicitly (sockets, cores, threads), or omit all of them.
* Image encryption is fatally flawed, and will be dropped entirely. It'll remain available only in qemu-img, so you can use 'qemu-img convert' to convert encrypted images to uncrypted ones.
* Host floppy device pass-through (block driver "host_floppy") is deprecated, and will be dropped in a future release.
* Block device parameter aio=native has no effect without cache.direct=on. It will be made an error.
* A few devices will be configured with explicit properties instead of implicitly. Unlikely to affect users; for the full list, see the 2.3 ChangeLog.
* QMP command blockdev-add is still a work in progress. It doesn't support all block drivers, it lacks a matching blockdev-del, and more. It might change incompatibly.
* The configure option --disable-guest-base is unneeded and will be removed in a future release.
## Alpha
* Major fixes to the implementation of floating point exceptions.
## ARM
* New board model xlnx-ep108
* Support for ACPI v5.1 tables in the "-M virt" board.
* Support for instantiation sysbus devices from the command line (using "-device") in the "-M virt" board.
* Emulation of the stream ID for MSI writes, for use in GICv3.
* The "virt" board default drive type is now virtio; this means that drives created with if=virtio or with no if= specification will be created as drives plugged into a virtio-blk-pci device. Short form options like -hda will also create this kind of drive. (Note that at time of writing Linux only supports the virt board's PCI controller for 32-bit ARM kernels; support has not yet made it into the 64-bit kernels. So 64-bit guests will need to continue using long command lines and virtio-mmio for now.) Unfortunately this means that some old command lines will need to change -- see the "incompatible changes" section above for details.
## MIPS
* More accurate emulation of the dp8393x network card and RC4030 DMA/IOMMU controller.
* Support for microMIPS32 R6 emulation (enabled in new "-cpu mips32r6-generic")
* Support for unaligned R6 and MSA memory accesses in TCG
* Support for XPA in MIPS32 and LPA in MIPS64 (eXtended and Large Physical Addressing) emulation
* Support for MIPS UHI semihosting
## PowerPC
* The default RAM size for the pseries machine is 512 MB.
* Support of PCI device hotplug on SPAPR (pSeries).
## s390
* Channel I/O is now available when running with TCG. Thus, the default machine for qemu-system-s390x is now s390-ccw.
* Several other fixes for TCG (emulation) mode.
* Extended name and UUID in STSI 3.2.2 information block
* Support for reading/writing guest memory while holding the IPTE lock under KVM, including access register mode
* Various cleanups in the s390-virtio and virtio-ccw transports
* Support for diag288 watchdog (KVM only).
* Support for vector registers
* Add virtio-1 specific ccws to virtio-ccw (SET_REV and v1 version of SET_VQ)
** Revision 1 (and therefore virtio 1.0) is not yet enabled, however.
* The s390-ccw-virtio machine is now versioned; the first versioned machine is s390-ccw-virtio-2.4
** The s390-ccw alias has been removed
## SH
* Optimizations to code generated by TCG.
## SPARC
* Fix SunOS 4.1.4 boot on sun4m with OpenBIOS
## x86
* Improvements to system management mode emulation, including support for high SMRAM and TSEG on machines using the Q35 chipset.
* q35 machine types starting with pc-q35-2.4.0 do not have a floppy disk controller. It will be created if you use "-drive if=floppy", "-fda" or "-fdb" to add a floppy disk drive, or it can be created if necessary with "-device isa-fdc".
* q35 now implements the TCO watchdog. Unlike real hardware, the watchdog is disabled when the virtual machine boot, so as to let existing firmware run with new QEMU. This may change in the future, but the change would be restricted to new machine types.
## KVM
* Support for MMIO operations outside the "big QEMU lock". For now, this only applies to the ACPI PM timer, which can alone improve performance substantially for very large Windows guests as long as they do not span multiple NUMA nodes in the host. For guests that span multiple NUMA nodes more kernel changes are required.
* Support for system management mode (requires Linux 4.1).
* When running under KVM, CPUID information includes the ARAT ("Always running APIC timer") bit
# Device emulation and assignment
## ACPI
* Support for memory hot-unplug.
* S3/S4 states can be disabled for boards using the Q35 machine type via "-global ICH9_LPC.disable_s3=on" and"-global ICH9_LPC.disable_s4=on"
## Block devices
* Minimal support in NVMe emulation for the NVME_VOLATILE_WRITE_CACHE feature.
* The infamous floppy device controller is not added to Q35 boards if not explicitly requested and no floppy drives are specified with "-drive if=floppy".
* I/O throttling now supports "groups" so multiple disks can use share a budget (use -drive groups=<name>)
* Performance of the parallels image format block driver has been improved
## Character devices
* Improved support for flow control in virtio-serial.
## IDE
* Fix macio CDROM detection for PPC
* Fix macio data corruption bug under Darwin/OS X PPC
* AHCI support rerror=stop and werror=stop.
## Mouse/keyboard
* Support for virtio-keyboard, virtio-mouse, virtio-tablet.
## Network
* Support for the "rocker" L2 switch device.
## SCSI
* scsi-generic now supports migration.
## PCI/PCIe
* Support for extra PCI root buses using PCI expander bridge devices. Unlike PCI-PCI bridges, a PCI expander bridge's bus can be associated with a NUMA node, allowing the guest OS to recognize the proximity of a device to RAM and CPUs.
## TPM
* Support for TPM 2
## VFIO
* Support for resetting AMD Bonaire and Hawaii GPUs
* Platform device passthrough support for Calxeda xgmac devices
## virtio
* Support for up to 1024 queues.
* Support for ioeventfd in virtio-mmio.
* FIXME: virtio 1
* New virtio-gpu device (only supports accelerated 2D for now)
* New virtio-input-host, virtio-keyboard, virtio-mouse and virtio-tablet devices (and corresponding virtio-*-pci devices for use on a PCI bus).
* Support for cross-endian vhost (i.e. little-endian host and big-endian guest, or vice versa).
* vhost can now be enabled even if MSI-X is not
* virtio-balloon can tell the guest that it should deflate the balloon on OOM conditions.
## VGA
* Support for virtio-vga, a VGA device that also supports the virtio-gpu interface.
## Character devices
* Improved support for flow control in spice-char.
## GUI
* Support for OpenGL-based display rendering in the SDL2 and GTK+ backend. This is preparatory work for 3D acceleration.
* Improvements to the Cocoa front-end, fixing full-screen mode and adding a list of consoles to the View menu.
* The two extra keys in Brazilian 107-key keyboards are now usable.
## Monitor
* qmp: New MIGRATION event to communicate change in the migration state
## Migration
* Support for compression of RAM data using multiple threads for compression and decompression (using migration capability "compress" and migration parameters "compress_threads", "compress_level" and "decompress_threads").
## Network
* Support for multi-queue vhost-user backends.
## Block devices in system emulation
* The BLOCK_IMAGE_CORRUPTED event has a new "node-name" field.
* FIXME: Throttle groups
* Block device mirroring supports concurrent unmap (aka discard or trim) operations on the source device and can create a thin-provisioned image in this case.
* Block device mirroring can use discard or "write zero" operations to speed up copying of large zero regions.
* FIXME: incremental backup?
## Command-line options
* A longhand version of -global (-global driver=DRIVER,property=PROP,value=VAL) is introduced, to set properties globally for devices that have a period in their name. The older syntax -global DRIVER.PROP=VAL did not allow this.
* New option -fw_cfg to pass arbitrary binary data to the guest.
## TCG
* New command line option "-icount sleep=no". The option will run emulation at the maximum possible speed: every time the CPU would go to sleep, the virtual clock will move to the next timer deadline. For virtual machines that have no other sources of non-determinism (e.g. asynchronous block I/O, character devices or user input) this will also make execution deterministic.
# Block devices and tools
* The "null" block device now has a new "latency-ns" option to delay the answer from the block device.
* The iscsi driver can use the target's FUA capabilities to greatly improve roundtrip times in write-through caching modes (cache.writeback=off). These modes are recommended when the storage has a non-volatile (battery-backed) cache.
* Parallels format driver now supports image creation and write to the image. Performance is significantly improved.
* qcow2 performance improvements.
* qemu-io supports encrypted qcow2 images (which are deprecated).
# Audio
* Obsolete audio backends have been removed: esd (superseded by pulseaudio), winwave (superseded by dsound), fmod (not compatible with the GPL)
# Guest agent
* Support for building a .msi file with the Windows version of the guest agent ("make msi"). This requires msitools.
* qemu-ga implements guest-get-fsinfo and guest-network-get-interfaces on Windows too
# User-mode emulation
* The default CPU for qemu-sh4 and qemu-sh4eb is the sh7785.
# Build dependencies
* QEMU now requires a minimum glib version of 2.22. (In particular, we will no longer build on a stock RHEL5 or Centos 5 system.)
* QEMU can now optionally be linked against tcmalloc.
* QEMU now compiles using clang 3.5 without warnings, which includes disabling GCC features not supported by clang.
* QEMU now compiles with ICC.
* libepoxy is required to compile QEMU with OpenGL support.
* Building on Mac OS X versions earlier than 10.5 is no longer supported.
* Sound on Windows now requires DirectSound (the old 'winwave' default audio backend has been dropped).
# Known issues
* SDL audio only works with SDL 1.x.
* Problems with QEMU for Windows and builds from newer versions of MinGW-w64, see this thread on qemu-devel (this is not a regression, other versions are also affected)
** Crash of 64-bit QEMU (Fix)
** Broken networking (Fix)
* Incomplete translations for GTK user interface

fdc: force the fifo access to be in bounds of the allocated buffer
During processing of certain commands such as FD_CMD_READ_ID and
FD_CMD_DRIVE_SPECIFICATION_COMMAND the fifo memory access could
get out of bounds leading to memory corruption with values coming
from the guest.
Fix this by making sure that the index is always bounded by the
allocated memory.
XXX pull-up where applicable
to NetBSD 6.1)
introduce compat61 (and compat61-x11 with it) as a backward compatibility
package to NetBSD 7
add compat61* to mk/emulator/netbsd-compat.mk and emulators/Makefile
some sort of version for the binary compat packages might have been
useful, maybe abusing the DIST_SUBDIR? compat61 is likely to change
if/when NetBSD 6.2 is released
