I has integrated source of i386 and i286 edition edition.Â
In addition, in the i286 version, I added support for int 10h/16h. equivalent to 0.149 MAME, I was replaced with a 0.152 equivalent MAME core i386 i286 core. However, the i386 core, I have omit the TLB around.
Which is very cool, although I wasn’t sure about the MAME source code being open to other projects…? Â I tried to contact the i86/i386 author vlinde but he then pulled his contact page. Â I wanted to use i386 for something of my own, but the whole “Redistributions may not be sold, nor may they be used in a commercial product or activity.” really puts the damper on it.
I was able to get some simple XMS test program to run, but nothing of any substance. Â No DOS4G/W or anything like that. Â But if you re-build it specifying MS-DOS version 5.0, some of the MS-DOS utils and even command.com work!
The weird issue I had was running out of conventional RAM, because this program gives you nearly 1MB of conventional RAM… I was surprised, as I wasn’t expecting that much!
