Raw Blame History

(next)
- VGA palette errors with Crystal Dream II fixed.
- PC-98 FM synthesis fixed not to initialize itself
again when rebooting, which fixes a problem with
garbled FM synthesis after rebooting.
- Removed some now-unnecessary SDL Video quit/init
calls from Windows builds.
- machine=pc98 now starts entire emulation in PC-98
mode instead of booting up in IBM PC mode and
switching to PC-98 mode.
- Initial "BIOS" startup screen now operates in
PC-98 mode when machine=pc98.
- Prefetch core debug code now disabled at compile
time. Seems to be stable so far.
- Prefetch core now emulates partial load of the
prefetch buffer on miss, and completing the buffer
fill on hit, to better emulate (probable) 80486
behavior.
- 486_prefetch is now a valid cputype setting, despite
the setting having existed for years in the source
code. Prior to this fix, 486_prefetch was ignored.
0.82.3 (02/13/2018)
- Removed DOSBox SVN-style "fast" A20 gate emulation.
Recent changes make it infeasible to keep. "fast" is
now mapped to "mask" mode.
- RAM aliasing is now always on, even if memalias is not
set, in order to help enforce A20 gate behavior, and
to fix emulator crashes when a non-aliased RAM page
is referenced through an alias.
- Cleanup and rewrite of prefetch core, to make the code
cleaner and more readable and maintainable.
- DOS file I/O updated to apply a proper delay rather
than the old DOSBox SVN code's cycle count dependent
method. The delay by default will slow disk I/O down
to mid 1990's IDE PIO speeds, which can resolve issues
with MS-DOS demoscene or game executables that can
malfunction when disk I/O is too fast.
- PIC code updated to enforce a proper IRQ delay on ALL
IRQ signals, which fixes issues with MS-DOS executables
that have race conditions between their code and their
interrupt handlers.
- DOS Shell now shows the full intro text only at first
run, instead of every shell invocation.
- Use FCB record size of 128 bytes if the FCB record size
is zero (from DOSBox SVN).
- PC speaker fix not to generate a continuous tone if
the PIT timer was set to mode 0. This fixes issues with
many early 1990s demoscene executables leaving the PC
speaker enabled (BEEEEEEP).
- Register DEBUGBOX.COM at DOS environment start instead
of boot, which allows the command to work again.
- EXE loader sets stack pointer (SS:SP) into PSP segment
(from DOSBox SVN)
- EXE loader fixed to use the larger of the minimum and
maximum memory sizes listed in the EXE header, which
fixes some demoscene executables with a minimum size
larger than maximum.
- VGA DAC (palette) emulation updated to better match
actual SVGA chipset (Paradise SVGA) behavior, which
fixes some VGA palette errors in some demoscene
productions.
- Added -nocachedir option to internal MOUNT command, to
disable directory caching for a local folder mounted
to a drive letter. When mounted this way, changes on
the host filesystem are immediately visible in the
guest DOS environment.
- Added -ro and -rw options to internal MOUNT command, to
allow mounting local folders to a drive letter as a
read-only volume.
- MIDI Fluidsynth fixed to initialize and free state properly
so that switching to and from Fluidsynth doesn't cause
a segfault or crash.
- MPU-401 fixed to allow changes to MIDI configuration from
CONFIG.COM.
- DOS filename handling fixed to maintain ASCII conversion
to uppercase, while not converting Shift-JIS double-byte
characters in PC-98 mode. This fixes Shift-JIS filename
corruption when the trailing byte can be mistaken for
lowercase ASCII a to z.
- Windows fixes to keep menu bar items updated with
DOSBox-X state.
- Remove WM_DROPFILES handling, for now. The code remains
to allow re-enabling later.
- SDL 1.x builds fixed to process only WM_COMMAND (menu
bar) and WM_SYSCOMMAND (system menu) events so that
the general chatter in modern Windows system does not
drown out the messages. This fixes issues where the
menu bar doesn't work on some systems.
- SDL 1.x builds fixed to handle menu bar input using
SDL's WM events instead of fighting with SDL's message
pump to receive menu events. This fixes potential
issues with losing menu bar events.
- dosbox.conf reference included with Windows builds
now uses MS-DOS line endings so that the file can be
edited in NOTEPAD.EXE
- New dosbox.conf option to control whether the menu is
shown by default in Windows builds.
- titlebar= SDL dosbox.conf option, to allow showing a more
user friendly name for the program instead of just using
the EXE name.
- E_Exit() on Windows now displays the message using
MessageBox() in addition to sending to STDERR, so that
Windows users see the error even if they are running
it from the desktop instead of the command line.
- PC-98 EGC bit shifter emulation fixed to correctly support
ascending and descending bit shifting in either direction.
This fixes screen shake emulation errors with Touhou Project
TH04 and TH05.
- Linux/X11 fixes to SDL 1.x to better match and compare
Visuals (descriptions of the screen) since X11 libraries
don't seem to use the same pointer values for the same
Visuals.
- ALT+TAB or loss of focus from fullscreen in Windows now
restores the window instead of minimizing it.
- 3Dfx OpenGL will hide the minimize and maximize buttons
in Windows while active.
- Windows menu bar items are now grayed out when 3Dfx OpenGL
emulation is active (items that cannot be used at that time).
- Fix Windows system menu to always keep "show menu".
- GFX rendering fixed not to render any output while 3Dfx
OpenGL emulation is active.
- 3Dfx OpenGL bug fixes to properly restore the DOS console
when the 3Dfx card is de-initialized and the game returns
to the DOS prompt.
- Linux/X11 window output fixed to keep the window on the
screen even when switching between OpenGL and non-OpenGL,
and when setting the SDL video mode.
- Remove some init hacks and SDL forced reinitialized hacks,
so that the window is stable on the screen.
- Added code to do more OpenGL state initialization (both
output=opengl and when initializing 3Dfx OpenGL emulation)
to make more consistent output.
- 3Dfx voodoo OpenGL based emulation fixed to switch out of
fullscreen mode IF DOSBox-X was fullscreen at the time the
card is initialized.
- 3Dfx voodoo OpenGL based emulation no longer allows fullscreen
mode, and does everything it can to prevent window resizing.
- Linux/X11 disable XRandR, XV, and X modeset functions. Do not
change monitor resolution.
- MPU-401 MIDI emulation fixed to look at all conductor message
bytes for code 0xFC (ALL END) instead of just the first byte.
This fixes hangs in games that send additional bytes prior to
0xFC and then expect the MPU-401 to signal 0xFC back when the
games are waiting for music to stop.
- Fix DOS CON driver not to signal data ready for PC-98 scan
codes that have no corresponding ANSI code. Tapping numeric
keypad keys during the title screen in Touhou Project should
no longer cause the game to pause waiting for keyboard input
when going into demo mode.
- Fix DOS CON driver to signal data ready for buffered escape
code.
- Fix PC-98 keyboard emulation not to apply IBM PC "extended"
keyboard scancode filtering.
- Window maximization does not count as a user resize preference.
- Fix Windows builds to enable DirectSerial, Direct LPT, modem,
emulation.
- New mapper shortcut to restore the window's original size.
- Fix bug with SHL instruction and OF flag, which corrects some
games and their decompression routines.
- Fullscreen (monitor) modesetting removed. DOSBox-X either runs
in a window, or scales up to fill the monitor, but will not change
the monitor resolution.
- Resize handling fixed to differentiate user resize verses resize
caused by DOSBox-X changing the window dimensions.
- Linux/X11 fixes to avoid flickering when resizing the window, and
to avoid redrawing unless necessary.
- Window resize management, to scale/arrange the output to fit the
window (for output= surface, opengl, direct3d)
- Enable resizing again, except when the GUI or mapper is active.
- Fix Linux/X11 to always take resize events, instead of ignoring
all further resize events just because one resize event is forever
"pending"
- Linux/X11 builds now track the size of the window on the desktop,
to keep track of resizing and maximizing.
0.82.2 (01/29/2018)
- Linux builds no longer enable window resizing. The ability to
resize will be added back when the emulator can better handle
the user resizing the window.
- Windows and Linux now have synchronized build date and version
strings.
- Codebase begin transition to C++11
- The Windows maximize button no longer triggers fullscreen mode.
- Direct3D, OpenGL, and Surface outputs updated to fill the window
in Windows builds when the window is maximized. If aspect
correction is enabled, the Direct3D and OpenGL outputs will
scale the DOS screen (with pillarbox/letterbox padding) to the
correct aspect ratio and center within the maximized window.
- Fixed minor memory leak in MT32 (MUNT) synthesizer usage.
- Fixed uninitialized state issues with DMA channel 4 (cascade).
- IMGMOUNT now allows mounting the El Torito bootable floppy image
of a CD-ROM drive as a drive letter and accessible (read only)
filesystem. The FAT filesystem driver was fixed to support working
from sources other than a direct file.
- PC-98 mode fixed not to register certain built-in commands and
binaries to drive Z:\ that are not compatible with PC-98 mode.
MEM.EXE in particular uses IBM PC-specific techniques to gather
it's information, and is therefore incompatible with PC-98 mode.
This can be verified from the source code as MEM.EXE was evidently
borrowed from the FreeDOS project.
- EGA emulation (machine=ega) fixed to render 8bpp (256-color mode)
instead of full 32bpp VGA output. EGA video output is limited to
64-color (6-bit) by the design of the video connector (2-bit R/G/B)
therefore the full precision of 32bpp is not needed. This will also
benefit video capture as the reduced color bit depth will result
in smaller AVI files when recording gameplay.
- Added code to correctly detect 15-bit highcolor vs 16-bit highcolor
display format support, despite SDL falsely indicating 16-bit
color in both cases, which fixes incorrect colors on 15-bit display
modes.
- Fix up VGA DAC/palette mapping to display the emulator screen
properly on 16-bit true color displays. Fixed off-by-one shift
mistake in the DOSBox-X render scaler code that caused
green and purple tints to colors on 16-bit true color displays.
- Add "Show menu bar" command to the Windows "system menu" so that
the menu bar can be brought back after selecting "hide menu bar".
- Losing window focus while fullscreen no longer leaves the emulator
window blank.
- Maximize/restore fullscreen cleanup.
- Removed DDRAW output.
- Fix FAT filesystem driver to clear "success" flag at all failure
return points. This fixes problems where unrecognizeable FAT
filesystems are nonetheless presented as a drive letter with
garbled filenames, when IMGMOUNT should have displayed an error
instead.
- Fix FAT filesystem driver to allow PC-98 HDI images to load that
have headcount == 0 in the BPB.
- Fix Adlib emulation not to register a mapper handler if emulation
will jump to PC-98 mode, and fix mapper handler to check if Adlib
emulation is loaded to avoid segfault.
- Add "recording" volume to control the loudness of the audio going
out to capture (WAV, AVI, etc.)
- Separate mixer rendering from master volume. Apply master volume
at the sound card only, leave audio at full volume for recording
(WAV, AVI, etc. capture).
- dosbox.conf and command line option to log CON driver output to
a file. Anything written to STDOUT/CON by a DOS application is
logged this way.
- --time-limit <n> command line option to put a time limit on the
emulator, in seconds.
- Keyboard shortcut for the mapper UI no longer leaves keys "stuck"
in the guest to cause problems when you exit the mapper UI.
- Fixed code mistake that caused OpenGL NB output when dosbox.conf
specified output=opengl
- Mapper layout fixes:
- Shortcut buttons (on the right hand side of the UI) fixed to
become two columns wide if the button text won't fit in one
column.
- Some shortcut button titles shortened.
- Mapper UI updated to show which bindings are being activated by
hilighting buttons in the UI.
- Mapper UI modifier buttons indicate status through hilighting.
- Mapper UI joystick buttons and axes now use hilighting to indicate
that there is input from the device.
- Mapper fix for 4-axis joysticks that may count zero buttons, and
then crash (divide by zero) when the user pushes a button on the
joystick device.
- BIOS emulation now allows you to specify binary blobs to execute
in the guest system as part of startup. One can be specified to
execute just after CPU reset/power-on, and the other just before
booting to the DOS shell. THE BINARY BLOBS EXECUTE IN THE GUEST
ENVIRONMENT AND NOT AS ARBITRARY CODE ON YOUR HOST. This option
is provided for both automated testing and for the curious who
may want to venture into low level ASM hacking.
- INTRO.COM fixed to accept keyboard input correctly in both
PC-98 and IBM PC mode. You can now browse the help text properly
in either mode.
- DOS shell fixed to accept DOSKEY-like input in both IBM PC and
PC-98 mode (including arrow keys, F3, tab completion, etc.)
- DOS CON emulation now provides function keys (F1-F10) in PC-98 mode.
- DOS CON emulation fixed to process PC-98 BIOS codes and generate
PC-98 ANSI escapes as real hardware normally does.
- Mapper no longer shows two sets of the shortcuts (one overlaid
over the keyboard), registration bug fixed.
- PC-98 keyboard interrupt handler now handles CTRL key and
passes most keys as-is down through INT 18h now.
- Removed non-recursive page fault option. It is now always on,
except for internal cases where it needs to be off for callback
instructions to do their work properly.
- Removed dynamic x86 core. It is old and unmaintained code that
is incompatible with the non-recursive page fault system.
- IRQ cascade interrupt fixes and cleanup.
- BAT files given on the command line fixed to occur AFTER the
registration of ULTRASND and BLASTER environment variables.
- PC-98: DOS CON emulation fixed to decode Shift-JIS itself,
with consideration that some proprietary double-byte encodings
yield single-wide characters. DOS program using NEC's proprietary
box/line drawing characters this way should display properly now.
- DOSBox shell "greeting" now displays a proper box in PC-98 mode
instead of framing the text in rows and columns of Katakana. (basic2004)
0.82.1 (12/25/2017)
- Windows builds no longer redirect stdout and stderr to
stdout.txt and stderr.txt. This also fixes problems
with crashing or hanging when run from Program Files.
- Windows releases compiled by TheGreatCodeholio again.
- SDL 1.x and SDL 2.x support in the same branch, selectable
by configuration option or VS2017 build target.
- SC400 emulation fixes
- Mac OS X pixel format fix to avoid corrupt graphics (Martin Lindhe)

instead of just stating that it can't find the ROM images.
- Direct3D shaders from Daum (alex)
- NukeOPL OPL emulation
- Basic (experimental) NEC PC-98 emulation (machine=pc98)

- DOS FAT filesystem driver: added many sanity, size,
sector size and overrun checks.
- Floppy and hard disk image support now supports sector
sizes other than 512 bytes per sector (up to 1024).
- DOS FAT filesystem driver can now handle FAT filesystems
formatted with 256, 512, or 1024 bytes per sector.
- INT 29h route output to CON driver in PC-98 mode so
games can clear the screen with ANSI codes (Touhou Project).
- NEC PC-98 support for proprietary ANSI codes to clear
screen and show/hide function key row.
- NEC PC-98 FM emulation (borrowed/ported from Project Neko II).
- MPU-401 now emulates relative tempo change commands.
- When mounting folders as a drive letter, filenames are
now translated between guest and host according to the
MS-DOS code page. This allows DOS games to use extended
characters in a way that does not cause invalid filenames
on the host. The host is always assumed to support unicode.
Windows builds will use wide char (UTF-16) host names and
Linux/Mac OS X builds will use UTF-8.
- Code page translation for 437 (US MS-DOS) and 932 (PC-98 Shift-JIS).
- Emulate DOS console function key row in PC-98 mode.
- PC-98 EGC graphics emulation (minimal)
- PC-98 CG support for custom fonts (RAM portion)
- PC-98 EGC minimal ROP emulation
- PC-98 select between 2.5MHZ and 5MHz GDC (for games that demand one or the other)

- Removed "overlay" output
- Fix Direct3D and OpenGL output to enable linear interpolation (smoothing)
- Fixed "double aspect ratio" issue with OpenGL output
- Linux builds compiled against SDL 1.x and running against PulseAudio
no longer hang/crash after some random amount of time (threading conflict)
- PC-98 minimal mouse emulation
- VGA doublescan=false fixed to display correctly, especially with scalers
- SDL 1.x Windows builds fixed to process mouse motion FIRST before
mouse buttons so that guest pointer integration with Windows 3.1
works properly.
- SDL 1.x Windows builds now enforce a 60Hz cap on mouse motion
detection because recent versions of Windows have some latency
when SDL repositions the mouse cursor. This fixes random
erratic jumps in mouse motion when playing games that respond
to mouse movement.
- SDL 2.x fix touchscreen interaction on Windows
- SDL 2.x mapper now responds to touchscreen as well as mouse.
- DOSBox Integration device no longer enables it's ISA PnP device
by default.
- SDL 2.x fix Windows 3.1 "double-click" accidents by ignoring
"mouse" events faked by Windows from the touchscreen.
- "Paper white" HGC/CGA monochrome palette (basic2004)
- CMS (GameBlaster) frequency correction (basic2004)
- SID frequency correction (basic2004)
- Maximize button in Windows now consistently triggers fullscreen mode
- SDL 2.x builds now use a different mapper file name to
avoid conflicts with SDL 1.x builds. SDL scan codes are
completely different between the two.
- Windows builds now include WinPCAP support and NE2000 emulation.
- MOUNT / IMGMOUNT convert backslash to forward slash in path on Linux to
allow dosbox.conf files from Windows to work on Linux.

Unofficially third party builds may support Windows XP.
- MPU-401 emulation now allows you to choose the IRQ, if desired.
- Windows builds now include reference dosbox.conf so that you
have a list of all options.
- IMGMOUNT and FAT filesystem support now check partition type
field to ensure that the partition chosen is a FAT filesystem.
- IMGMOUNT no longer requires -size parameter if mounting
a HDI disk image.
- IMGMOUNT and FAT filesystem driver updated to support both
IBM PC MBR (master boot record) and PC-98 IPL1 partition
tables.
- Fixed UMB memory selection not to overlap the EMS page frame.
- EMS updated to sit at E000h in IBM PC mode and D000h in PC-98 mode.
- Mapper interface now shows additional buttons for handlers
registered after initial emulator setup phase.
- Mapper fixed to load/save or apply default keybindings for
handlers registered after initial emulator setup phase.
- Mapper fixes now reveal "capture OPL", "hercules palette"
options as well. The fixes also allow the default key
bindings for those functions to work.
- "CTTY NUL" no longer causes DOSBox-X to hang.
- MOUNT now supports use of -q to suppress message when
successfully unmounting a drive.
