PC emulator
WHAT IS BOCHS?Bochs is a highly portable open source IA-32 (x86) PC emulator
written in C++, that runs on most popular platforms. It includes
emulation of the Intel x86 CPU, common I/O devices, and a custom
BIOS. Currently, Bochs can be compiled to emulate a 386, 486,
Pentium/PentiumII/PentiumIII/Pentium4 or x86-64 CPU, including optional
MMX, SSEx and 3DNow! instructions. Bochs is capable of running
most Operating Systems inside the emulation, for example Linux, DOS,
Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP or Windows Vista.
Bochs was written by Kevin Lawton and is currently maintained by
the Bochs project at "http://bochs.sourceforge.net".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes:
Changes in 2.4 (May 3, 2009):
Brief summary :
- Added graphical Bochs debugger frontend for most of the supported platforms.
- Thanks for Chourdakis Michael and Bruce Ewing.
- Many new CPU features in emulation
- Support for > 32 bit physical address space and configurable MSRs
- VMX, 1G pages in long mode, MOVBE instruction
- Bugfixes for CPU emulation correctness, debugger and CPU instrumentation.
- New config interface 'win32config' with start and runtime menu
- USB: added OHCI support, external hub and cdrom
- Added user plugin interface support.
Detailed change log :
- CPU and internal debugger
- Support for VMX hardware emulation in Bochs CPU, to enable configure with
--enable-vmx option
Nearly complete VMX implementation, with few exceptions:
- Dual-monitor treatment of SMIs and SMM not implemented yet
- NMI virtualization, APIC virtualization not implemented yet
- VMENTER to not-active state not supported yet
- No advanced features like Extended Page Tables or VPID
- Support for configurable MSR registers emulation, to enable configure with
--enable-configurable-msrs option
Look for configuration example in .bochsrc and msrs.def
- Support new Intel Atom® MOVBE instruction, to enable configure with
--enable-movbe option
- Support for 1G pages in long mode, to enable configure with
--enable-1g-pages option
- Support for > 32 bit physical address space in CPU. Up to 36 bit could be seen in legacy mode (PAE) and up to 40 bit in x86-64 mode.
Still support the same amount of the physical memory in the memory object,
so system with > 4Gb of RAM yet cannot be emulated.
To enable configure with --enable-long-phy-address option.
- Implemented modern BIOSes mode limiting max reported CPUID function to 3 using .bochsrc CPU option. The mode is required in order to correctly install and boot WinNT.
- Added ability to configure CPUID vendor/brand strings through .bochsrc (patch from @SF by Doug Reed).
- Many bugfixes for CPU emulation correctness (both x86 and x86-64).
- Updated CPU instrumentation callbacks.
- Fixed Bochs internal debugger breakpoints/watchpoints handling.
- Configure and compile
- Added ability to choose Bochs log file name and Bochs debugger log file name from Bochs command line (using new -log and -dbglog options)
- Removed Peter Tattam's closed source external debugger interface from the code.
- Removed --enable-guest2host-tlb configure option. The option is always enabled for any Bochs configuration.
- Removed --enable-icache configure option. The option is always enabled for any Bochs configuration. Trace cache support still remains optional and could be configured off.
- Added configure option to compile in GUI frontend for Bochs debugger, to enable configure with --enable-debugger-gui option. The GUI debugger frontend is enabled by default with Bochs debugger.
- Removed --enable-port-e9-hack configure option. The feature now could be configured at runtime through .bochsrc.
- Added configure option to enable/disable A20 pin support. Disabling the A20 pin support slightly speeds up the emulation.
- reduced dependencies between source files for faster code generation
- BIOS
- Added S3 (suspend to RAM) ACPI state to BIOS (patch by Gleb Natapov)
- Implemented MTRR support in the bios (patches by Avi Kivity and Alex Williamsion with additions by Sebastian Herbszt)
- Bug fixes
- I/O Devices
- Added user plugin support
- remaining devices converted to plugins: pit, ioapic, iodebug
- added 'plugin_ctrl' bochsrc option to control the presence of optional device plugins without a separate option. By default all plugins are enabled.
- added register mechanism for removable mouse and keyboard devices
- Hard drive / cdrom
- PACKET-DMA feature now supported by all ATAPI commands
- ATAPI command 0x1A added (based on the Qemu implementation)
- sb16
- Added ALSA sound support on Linux (PCM/MIDI output)
- FM synthesizer now usable with MIDI output (simple piano only)
- Fixed OPL frequency to MIDI note translation
- Fixed MIDI output command
- keyboard
- added keyboard controller commands 0xCA and 0xCB
- USB
- USB code reorganized to support more HC types and devices
- added USB OHCI support written by Ben Lunt
- added external USB hub support (initial code ported from Qemu)
- added USB cdrom support (SCSI layer ported from Qemu)
- added status bar indicators to show data transfer
- VGA
- VBE video memory increased to 16 MB
- implemented changeable VBE LFB base address (PCI only, requires latest BIOS and VGABIOS images)
- I/O APIC
- implemented I/O APIC device hardware reset
- Config interface
- new config interface 'win32config' with start and runtime menu is now the default on Windows ('textconfig' is still available)
- win32 device config dialogs are now created dynamicly from a parameter list (works like the wx ParamDialog)
- changes in textcofig and the wx ParamDialog for compatibility with the new win32 dialog behaviour
- Bochs param tree index keys are case independent now
- some other additions / bugfixes in the simulator interface code
- Misc
- updated LGPL'd VGABIOS to version 0.6c
- Updated Bochs TESTFORM to version 0.4

Commodore 64 emulator
CCS64 V3.7 has been released. The following bug-fixes/enhancements have been made:- ADD: In windowed mode, re-sizing of the window can be done using top/bottom/left/right, which all change the visible C64 portion (i.e. a means of setting $WINDOWSIZEX/Y). Re-sizing with bottom-right is as before (i.e. stretch scaling with Direct 3-D).
- ADD: Changed to using the [Right Shift] key for emulating cursor up/left keys (the C64 only has cursor right/down), because [Left Shift] + [Cursor keys] can some-times create strange characters in BASIC. The [shift] key to use is configurable in the config file as the $SHIFTKEYAUTO=LEFT/RIGHT setting.
- ADD: Allow more than to 2 real joysticks - now up to 16.
- ADD: Allow the "Joystick Special" sub-menu to select "Bit 4 Single-Fire", in order to by-pass the auto-fire for that trigger.
- ADD: Allow selection of axis-to-axis/button-to-button mapping in the Joystick Calibration screen, so that any axis/button on an advanced joystick/controller can be used as a C64 joystick.
- ADD: To make CCS64 more Windows Vista and multi-user (per computer) friendly, CCS64 also tries to load/save the C64.CFG file from the user's roaming profile at start-up, unless there is a C64.CFG file in the CCS64 installation directory (because in Windows Vista, a user is not normally allowed to change any file in C:\Program Files\... without Administrator privileges).
- FIX: NTSC side-border problem. In NTSC mode, when you open the side-borders, and shift sprites on the left border, the C64 jumps to $FF, not $F8 like PAL, after $00. (This was fixed in CCS64 V3.5, but not advised.)
- FIX: Screen-scaling problem for full-screen resolutions beyond 1280 x 1024, which produced a blank display.
- FIX: Last-line pixel-colour problem. This was introduced due to a previous fix.

TG16 / PCE emulator
2009/04/26 2.11 released- The number of "Numbered Save State" has been increased to 50 places. Save from #21 to #50 is possible by "File->Save State another II" menu. And, "File->Load State another II" menu was added for loading.
- The operation when the CD-Read made an error was brought close to a real machine. In the ACT4 of "Valis IV", the problem that the voice was not occasionally correctly played was solved.
- The processing of the vertical display beginning position decision has been improved. In "Popful Mail", the problem that one surface line of the screen has disappeared (generated from v2.08) was solved.
- The speed and timing were elaborately brought close to a real machine. In "Uchuu Senkan Yamato" and "Ys IV", etc., I think that I approached a real machine by the timing of the image and the voice generation.
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.
+ The execution file for "Windows 98/Me" was opened to the public. The operation test is not done. Please see "Readme98.txt" in the ZIP file about details and notes, etc.

etch.deb package for Debian Etch
hardy.deb for Ubuntu Hardy Heron
rpm for various systems (system name encoded in the filename)
dmg for MacOSX (both Intel and PPC)
cygwin for MS Windows
ps3 for Playstation3
tar.gz is the source archive
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes:
2009/04/25 - version 0.9.8beta released
o CPU: fixed TRAPcc and FTRAPcc instructions (for Guillaume's mplayer
o VIDEL: pixel precise horizontal scrolling implemented
o fixed BUSY signal handling on the parallel port
o fixed mouse grab/ungrab/autograb (see below)
o added new ARAnyM mouse cursor (white arrow)
o added middle mouse button handling (in Eiffel mode)
o added suport for reversing mouse Y-axis in IKBD (used in Linux-m68k)
o fixed many DSP56001 instructions
o fixed NFJPEG on 64bit hosts
o fixed several NF drivers to work under FreeMiNT (not rely on __NF cookie)
o buggy JIT-FPU was disabled. Now FPU is precise though slower in JIT mode
Mouse grab/ungrab/autograb has changed: first, ungrabbing when leaving
ARAnyM window was fixed (issue with autograb on the window border).
Then, ARAnyM got a new mouse cursor (white one) so you can recognize
now when the mouse is grabbed (the cursor pointer is black in TOS)
and when it's not (the cursor pointer is white now).
At last, mouse autograb upon entering ARAnyM window was disabled until
we can ensure the Atari mouse cursor is positioned in sync with host
mouse cursor (will require Atari OS support, probably in a form
of aranym.acc and AES implementing appl_tplay).
Also the "AutoGrabMouse" config option has been removed.

The font is controlled by the .bdf file in your mame folder.
See if you have one for your mameui, if so, copy it to your mameplus folder.
A .bdf is a font file, a rather obscure format found on certain unix machines. Why did they choose it? I don't know.

I can only hope that the forum is improved since I was there...
There was a FAS which kept playing up and was eventually removed (it was the only reason I went there).
The downloads were under lock and key, and the only thing I grabbed turned out to be in an unreadable format.
There was a news forum, but it was moderated - and I hate moderated forums!
So I left.
Edit: ok, the FAS works again...
-------------------------------------
Robert attacked Phillyman with a Hydrogen Bomb (1382 str) and took off 1821!
Phillyman has 428 HP left!
Phillyman counterattacks with a Hand Grenade (410 str) and takes off 606!
Robert has 1404 HP left!
During the battle you stole: 0 Gil!!!!
You gain: 691 EXP points!!!!
Congratulations you have gone up a level!!!!
Your Max Hp went up by 6 and your Max Strength went up by 10.
------------------------------------
The files are in CBR/CBZ format... whatever that is.
