0.139u2 [TrevEB]

HardDisk required

Bugs:

- Regression in protected mode memory mapping. peterferrie (ID 05408)

WIP:

- 0.184: Added save state support to YMF262, slot pointer checks [Scott Percival].

- 0.162: Savage Quest WIP: Hooked up Voodoo 2 device. Switched to DS12885 device for proper CMOS size. Moved Voodoo register base to proper place. Implemented Voodoo-specific PCI registers to pass Glide validation. Increased frame-buffer size to enable 640x480 resolution. Hooked up ISA bus and SoundBlaster 16 device. Note: Still missing IRQ hookup for SB16, but game boots quite far now when IRQ is simulated. Extended HASP emulation to return product information. Documented HASP behaviour. Map in second S3, solved the "white screen" problem. Added default NVRAM [Peter Ferrie]. Added YMF262 (14318181 Hz) and 2x DAC sound. Added Stick controller, 2nd Player and 2x buttons.

- 0.149u1: New Savage Quest BIOS dump (v451pg.bin), still marked bad as there are still issues however they may be emulation related. Redumped Savage Quest Hard Disk. Allow you to skip the CMOS error screen by pressing the S key. Added Voodoo 2 device, but not hooked it up to the memory map as it's too slow for me to work on. Dumped S3 video BIOS in Savage Quest [Trevor Brown]. Updated Savage Quest BIOS with dumps made with a topmax and changed the 1mb bank error to a popmessage (video\pc_vga.c). Added 2nd IDE channel [smf]. Experimenting with Savage Quest. Fixed CPU type [Angelo Salese]. Replaced PENTIUM CPU with Pentium II. Added keypad control.

- 0.149: Peter Ferrie added HASP emulator; marked BIOS as bad dump because it's incomplete. Added AM9517A (4772727 Hz) CPU2/3.

- 0.148: Savage Quest update [Peter Ferrie]: Splitted BIOS region into 16kb blocks. Implemented missing PAM registers. Corrected slave_ack configuration member declaration.

- 0.147u3: smf hooked up IDE irq straight to the 8259 in Savage Quest.

- 0.147u1: Made Cirrus SVGA card just another VGA implementation and removed a need for additional parameter [Miodrag Milanovic].

- 0.146u2: Made PCI legacy and new implementation coexist for now (machine\pci.c) [Miodrag Milanovic].

- 0.144u7: Changed VSync to 53.178707 Hz.

- 0.144u5: Hooked up device in Savage Quest, dies at floppy error [Angelo Salese]. Added trident_tgui9680_bios.bin Video BIOS rom. Changed visible area to 640x480, palettesize to 256 colors and VSync to 59.940000 Hz.

- 8th December 2010: Smitdogg - I cracked open the dongle of Savage Quest to see what we are dealing with.

- 0.139u2: TrevEB added 'Savage Quest' (Interactive Light 1999). The hardware is a white-box PC consisting of a Pentium II 450 CPU, DFI P2XBL motherboard (i440BX chipset), 128 MB RAM, Guillemot Maxi Gamer 3D2 Voodoo II and a Sound Blaster AWE64. Protected by a HASP brand parallel port dongle. I/O board has a PIC17C43 which is not readable.

- 10th August 2010: Smitdogg - TrevEB dumped the hard drive and BIOS for Savage Quest and he documented some of the hardware. He's sending me the dongle soon so we can see about dumping it.

- 1st August 2010: Smitdogg - TrevEB dumped the hard drive for Savage Quest and is working on sorting out its other pieces.

- 16th June 2010: Smitdogg - TrevEB got Savage Quest!
