Linux emulator for Windows

Cooperative Linux is the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively. More generally, Cooperative Linux (short-named coLinux) is a port of the Linux kernel that allows it to run cooperatively alongside another operating system on a single machine. For instance, it allows one to freely run Linux on Windows 2000/XP, without using a commercial PC virtualization software such as VMware.

 

Version 0.7.4

 

Filesystem:

* New: cofs rename allows to overwrite files with ReadOnly attrib.

* New: cofs supports flat file modes "rwx" for owner. Mount option "noattrib" disables these attribute mapping for older compatibility.

* Use "setcobd=async" to enable asynchronous mode for cobd devices.

* Bug #2013435: cobd supports read-only files now.

* Bug #2152550: cofs atime and mtime was swapped on time set.

* Bug #2176188: File sync wrong on cofs, command after mv/rename fails.

 

Network:

* pcap-bridge: Fix suspend problems. Reconnect after loosing adapter.

* New network "ndis-bridge" works in kernel mode and is the faster alternative to pcap-bridge. (Ligong Liu)

* Bug #1396539: Fixing the "eth0: duplicate address detected!". New filter rule for ndis-bridge and pcap-bridge is: "(ether dst MAC) or (multicast and not ether src MAC)"

* Bug #2055697: Crashing SLiRP under heavy usage ktorrent. (Shai Vaingast)

* Bug #2357494,#2365031: ndis-bridge was not working with PPPoE, AoE and others types as IP and ARP packets. Type filter removed now.

 

Console and daemons:

* New: Added "cocon=COLSxROWS" to use console size, other than 80x25.

* Bug #1117788: Fix sticky ALT after system menu from ALT-Space.

* Bug #2013501: Stop with error message on empty parameters.

* Bug #2593186: FLTK console command prompt display problems. (Shai Vaingast)

* Bugfix: Enclose spaces in current directory for install-service.

 

Kernel:

* scsi: New device for images with partition tables and works async. Usage "scsi0=disk,file.img" or "scsi1=cdrom,file.iso" (Steve Shoecraft)

* Added virtual pci device handling. "lspci" is working (Steve Shoecraft)

* Add PG_co_host_mapped, save many OS switching times: speed up coLinux.

* New: /proc/colinux/stats show counts of OS switches.

* unionfs-2.2.4 added as module. (Marwan Al-Sabbagh)

* Add sysenter / sysexit restoration support, for cpu with SEP feature.

* Bug #2524658: GPF on raid5/6 md array by accessing MMX/XMM-registers.

* Feature req #2114493: Add iscsi kernel support (CONFIG_ISCSI_TCP).

 

Installer:

* New images: Fedora 10, Ubuntu 7.10

 

Debugging:

* Enable host kernel debug via registry [HKLM\SOFTWARE\coLinux] "Debug"

 

Updated libraries and tools:

* mingw 3.14

* w32api 3.11

Source Changes

----------------------------

Added notes to several drivers indicating specifically that an MCU is needed for decapping. [Angelo Salese]

 

Naomi renderer: add all 64 blending modes, and made it anal-retentive where it comes to position precision. [Olivier Galibert]

 

Converted Irem M14 HW to tilemaps and cleaned-up the driver. [Angelo Salese]

 

Renamed yumefuda.c/hanaroku.c drivers to albazg.c/albazc.c (like they should be properly named). [Angelo Salese]

 

Added MCU no dumps for the Grand Striker driver. [Angelo Salese]

 

Fixed background colors in Alien Command. [Angelo Salese]

 

Added profile markers to naomi, to see what % of cpu time things are using. [David Haywood]

 

Lowered the AY-8910 volumes in the adp driver. [Angelo Salese]

 

Some Maple fixes, now Street Fighter Zero 3 Upper should be fully playable. [Angelo Salese]

 

Added cart info documentation update for the two resent Mega-Tech cart dumps: Shadow Dancer & Streets of Rage. [brian Troha]

 

Merged memory maps in the following remaining drivers and cleaned up some comments: homedata.c, intrscti.c, inufuku.c, irobot.c, jack.c, kaneko16.c, naughtyb.c, scobra.c, scramble.c, slapfght.c, spaceg.c. [MooglyGuy]

 

Fixed Naomi bug in computedilated, was causing bad portraits in shikgam2. [David Haywood]

 

Removed second parameter from MDRV_CPU_PROGRAM_MAP, MDRV_CPU_DATA_MAP, and MDRV_CPU_IO_MAP. For the remaining drivers that used multiple address maps, converted them to use AM_IMPORT_FROM to import the base map. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added bilinear filtering to Naomi video emulation. Textures are still a bit crawly since we're always using the lowest MIP level. [MooglyGuy, Aaron Giles]

 

Short-circuit the naomi rendering in non-textured cases, prevents a lot of bad graphics. [David Haywood]

 

Fixed tubepb regression. [Fabio Priuli]

 

Added MC-8123 key for Gigas. Of course the game still doesn't work because the program ROM is missing. [Nicola Salmoria]

 

Applied some of the Naomi exclusive texture mode rules. [David Haywood]

 

Added a work-around for the UART FIFO read only status register on the SH-4 to make Tetris Kiwamemichi happy to boot. It crashes shortly after that like La Keyboard though (jumps to an unmapped address). [Angelo Salese]

 

Hacked the Naomi YUV interrupt to fire when the base register is written. (Currently looking at implementing properly, but this prevents KuruCham and SS2005 from hanging). [David Haywood]

 

Converted namcos2.c, niyanpai.c and nbmj9195.c to use AM_IMPORT_FROM instead of macros. [Angelo Salese]

 

Fixed regression for mitchell.c games. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

 

Added MCU no-dump to Air Buster. [Angelo Salese]

 

Commented out the ACIA irq, was causing missing bgms in Street Fighter Zero 3 Upper. [Angelo Salese]

 

Improved the debugging on the Naomi Wave DMA handler. [Angelo Salese]

 

Converted DJ Boy memory maps to current standards. [Angelo Salese]

 

Fixed pipedrm tag problem. [Fabio Priuli]

 

Fixed ninjakd2 DIPSW and notes. [kanikani]

 

Fixed a couple of bugs in cave.c and seta2.c introduced with the memory map merges. [Fabio Priuli]

 

MCS-51 fixes: [Aaron Giles]

* jb int0, loops are now broken out of if int0 comes and is taken

* externally-clocked counters only count when enabled

* internal RAM no longer wraps when accessed out of bounds

 

System 1 changes: [Aaron Giles]

* hooked up 8751 properly

* removed old 8751 hacks

* shuffled Shooting Master sets

 

Fixed tattass regression from map merging. [Fabio Priuli]

 

Fixed P2 palette write handlers for fromancr and fromanc4. [Fabio Priuli]

 

Fixed halleys.c sound: ay8910 write handlers work on two bytes. [Fabio Priuli]

 

Marked polystar, hellngt and totlvice CHDs as bad. Will be replaced soon. [Guru]

 

Added missing YMZ280B ROM to evilngt/hellngt. [Guru]

 

Fixed regression on homedata.c driver. [Angelo Salese]

 

Fixed Legend of Makai regression. [Angelo Salese]

 

Removed "BAD_DUMP" from the Red Baron AVG bprom, it has been verified correct (contents and label) by the Dumping Union. [smitdogg]

 

Improved the single board 4p mode in Kick N Run / Mexico 86. It basically works but 2p mode is broken so I still keep it as disabled by default. [Angelo Salese]

 

Fixed Kiki Kai Kai exception. [Angelo Salese]

 

Dumped io board rom to Dynamic Golf. [Guru]

 

Fixed King Derby sprites wrap-around and flip x positioning. [Angelo Salese]
