Qemu 1.2.2 released!

I’ve just noticed over on the Qemu site, that the 1.2 train has just released a new version, 1.2.2.

I think they backported the PCI bus pass through available on Linux?

The changelog still points back to the 1.2 changelog.

I may have to see about getting access to a Windows machine I can trash trying to get a good MinGW build going…

So .. That means in the meantime, no builds from me.

Qemu 1.3 released!

You can download the source from qemu.org.  And the changelog is here.

I am on an extended holiday, and I don’t have access to any Windows build machines, or OS X build environment.. So I won’t have a build of this for quite some time (March?)..  Unless I score something in the UK that is.  Or until I find an external disk I can abuse the living daylights out of compiling.  The laptop I’m using is all flash and I don’t think it’d be ‘nice’ to run compile on it for fear of burning it out.

Anyways yeah, new Qemu.

These aren’t my binaries.. but here you go. No idea if they work, either.

Microsoft OS/2 1.21 on Qemu (almost works)

It almost works.

I just tried commenting out the IDE CD-ROM that is on by default on Qemu, and booted up a ‘restore’ CD I cooked up a while ago, and lo it almost works.  OS/2 boots up, but the keyboard is unresponsive… The cursor flashes away it almost acts like it is alive but without any input it just sits there dead.

I haven’t tried booting from floppy although I would assume it’d fail just in the same manner.  For anyone wanting to mess with it, just disable the cdrom in vl.c & recompile.

So this is good news, as always you can check out the change log, or download the source and compile yourself…

Using my quick instructions on building on OS X, I got 1.2 to compile which is nice, and run DOOM..

As you can see from this output it isn’t relying on the TCG backend

So far it looks good on OS X, so here is my i386 binary!  Although I’ve only tested it with MS-DOS 4.01 & Doom 1.1

Doom 1.1 on OS X 10.8.1 via Qemu 1.2.0

 

Qemu 1.2.0 & all its win32 glory

And after much delay, here is my Win32 binary for the i386 system emulation.  And just like the OS X version, I’ve only tested it with Doom.  I’ve included my usual control-alt-delete shortcut & the ability to quick reset.
