Home Page Forums MAME MAME SVN builds - new driver flood

Thank you, i tried without success.

I think you must be in you mess folder and launch svn from there (either adding H:\svn\bin to PATH, or launching H:\svn\bin\svn.exe update -r6143 )

but it's been quite some time since I last used svn in windows (without tortoisesvn), hence I could be wrong

This info was very helpful and it works.

I think you are right. Here the comparison between SVN r6143 and SVN r6149 and the Space Ranger sound.

mess cdimono1 -r 640x480 -window -nonewui -nodebug -nolog -wavwrite sr.wav -bios 0 -cdrom "C:\Emulator\Mess\Software\CD-I\CDROM\Space Ranger.chd"

Fixed by removing nec765_idle() from the seek setup function. It was making it think that the recalibrate had finished when it hadn't, thus making the FDC treat Sense Drive Status as an invalid command. I tested the PCW driver after the change and it seems to still be working, post a reply if it breaks something else.

Only thing noticed not to work now is Elwro 800, that line was in Mariusz patch for Elwro. So here something is definitly not ok.

Well, the Bondwell checks the main status register, and if either bit 4 or 5 is set, then it waits and checks again, until neither bit is set. Bit 5 is execution mode, and should be set high during a seek/recalibrate operation. nec765_idle() clears both bits.

Ok, appears as though the FDC Busy flag is set, which it as I understand it, shouldn't be during a seek or recalibrate. Having the busy flag in the main status register reset at the beginning of a seek/recalibrate gets elwro800 running, and booting CP/J. Bondwell 12/14 still works, and I tested the PCW, CPC and X68000 drivers which also still appear to work. Reply if you know of any drivers broken by this change.

SVN r6152

BW12/BW15 boot disks : working
(Still can not use the keyboard input but this is another problem)

Elwro boot disks (CP/J, Amstrad) boot disks : working

PCW8256 boot disks : working

EDIT: Found the reason, I was not waiting long enough.
