This is an incompatibility with the KEYB application, avoid it and get used to the English keyboard layout, without in the use of AltGr, which when you don't run KEYB, will not cause any hangs in combination with other keys, but also has no effect.

That is the solution I recommend for the time being:

Image

Edit: Using the /E parameter of the KEYB command seems to "improve" something, because it shows the symbol after AltGr + Key, but then it's as if you keep it pressed, because then just pressing the key shows it as if it was combined with AltGr... in short, as if it doesn't detect that the AltGr key has been released.

It is not at present, but in the future it will certainly come up.

I know you plan to support the turbo (7.16Mhz). The XT pc later model has a cpu speed of 10Mhz. Are you planning to support 10Mhz speed as well?

7.16Mhz is a first option, then there could be another one that contemplates the maximum possible option, as long as this is possible due to the system's own limitations.

I remember in a YouTube video that you ran "prince of persia 1" in pcxt core. But when I put this game in hdd.img and run it, press the spacebar key on the initial title screen and the message "please insert prince of persia play disk into drive c:" and it no longer progresses. I ran the same hdd.img on 86box and there this game works normally.

It's probably because of the version of Prince Of Persia you're using, there must be several... and for whatever reason the one you're using doesn't work.

What the display of the CPU registers can look like, taking advantage of the MDA display and managed by the core itself:

Honestly, I have no idea. Here is a screenshot of the setup for version 1.3:

Running the game in this case works without a problem for me. I don't know what problem you have with this game and what causes it.

Tested this version with these checksums, it works. The message "please insert prince of persia play disk into drive c:" appears, followed by "Press Enter to continue", I clicked, and it loaded the game completely.

I am using version 2.2 without problems, with the configuration of:

Code: Select all

DOS=UMB
DEVICE=C:\UTIL\USE!UMBS.SYS C000-F000
The other thing is that I can't use DOSMAX because it hangs.

"prince of persia" all version( 1.0, 1.1, 1.3, 1.4) not working. Please confirm for your PCXT core.
Honestly, I have no idea. Here is a screenshot of the setup for version 1.3:

prince_1_3_setup.jpg

Running the game in this case works without a problem for me. I don't know what problem you have with this game and what causes it.
I figured out why "prince of persia" didn't work. I used ms-dos 5.0 on hdd.img. This game worked well on ms-dos 6.22 and free dos. And in free dos, this game got freezing during play. I think your pcxt core is the most stable in ms-dos 6.22.

@spark2k06
Changed the clock in the chipset to be driven at 100 MHz.
This is expected to reduce compile time. No improvement in functionality.
I have done very little operational testing yet, but it appears to be generally working.
(I have already found that the melody at 8088BIOS startup does not work.)

Great, I'll test it myself tomorrow and publish it in the 1.3 prebeta.

Thanks, this one seems to work like the previous, the only different thing I noticed, is the adlib music being very high pitched.

Thanks.
Seems to be a sound problem.
Perhaps there is something that has to be changed along with the clock when it is changed.

memo:
I will change clk_en_opl2 signal.

I have solved the sound problem, using the cpu_clock signal instead of the clock of the sound modules, as it runs at 100Mhz, so it sounds pitched.With these changes, I have updated the prebeta 1.3 branch:

https://github.com/spark2k06/PCXT_MiSTe ... e_beta_1_3

I attach here the binary of this prebeta so that the rest of the users can test it.

On the other hand, apart from some applications and games that we know crash, there is another crash point to investigate, and it is here (application CheckIt 3.0):

Thanks for the quick update. Now, the most important thing left is the turbo mode (7.16Mhz). "prince of persia" is too slow. Among the sound problems, the "pc internal speaker" also seems to be different from the real XT PC.

It should be skipping 80286 protected mode if you're emulating an 8088. Is that the core you're using? It's switched around enough times that I don't actually know what modules you're using, and I don't have the dev environment set up to look at it.

If you're presenting as an 8088, that software should already know that 80286 mode will fail.

CheckIt recognises it as an 8088:

@kitune-san just made a pull request for the prebeta 1.3 making use of the 100Mhz sound modules as well, but getting the signal from cen_opl2 properly. I have tested it and it works fine. I have accepted the changes, I attach here the corresponding RBF file:
