SBEMU hangs on Dell Latitude D530

bert003 commented 8 months ago

When I boot I get the following messages and the system stops booting there (refer to the attached image):

I grouped all the files in a directory called SBEMU and changed paths into CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT accordingly.

What could be the issue please?

bert003 commented 8 months ago

Did anyone have a similar issue please?

Did anyone have a similar issue please?

Yes, I do! Same problem here in a D530 too.

I was trying to compile sbemu with some "printfs" to see where exactly it's freeze, but I couldn't find a way to compile it. So I gave up.

Maybe one day with time I can try this again.

(I tried a new version today: UserBuild_2023.12.25_19-41. Same problem)

I'll add some extra msg to help locating the problem.

Have you read the latest readme? you can build on Linux, Windows(WSL/MinGW)

tiagotarifa commented 6 months ago

Today I made a new test with UserBuild_2024.01.14_11-11.

Now it's not freeze any more when it load. However, there is no sound. I tried on Doom 1.9 shareware and BioMenace.

tela1

A curious thing I discovered is when I try to change output with sbemu.exe /O0 (headphones) it's made some kind of "pop" noise on headphones, like trying to activate the sound card, and then it's give an error. tela2

Additional information

Parallel port and IEE1904 are disabled on bios;
Tests were made booting this freedos image by PXE boot;
Changing IRQ port 7 to 5 make no difference;
Others options like reset (/R) and change volume (/VOL9) was tried too;

Does it work with other games? With my Intel HDA; especially Dooms seems problematic

I tried BioMenace. Do you have other suggestion?

hjnijlunsing commented 6 months ago

Epic Pinball works with my Intel HDA on SBEMU, can you check?

Same problem, no sound. I tried to change sbemu options like IRQ and VOL and nothing changed.

Another curious thing: Before sbemu load the pcspeaker (emulated by soundcard) works. It's stop to work after it's load.

hjnijlunsing commented 6 months ago

The PC Speaker; I had exactly the same issue with VSBHDA: https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/VSBHDA/issues/2 You did try VSBHDA, MPXPlay and confirm your HDA has an IRQ assigned? (as per https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/VSBHDA/issues/1)

tiagotarifa commented 6 months ago

You did try VSBHDA, MPXPlay and confirm your HDA has an IRQ assigned?

Yes, I did. No sound ether. ( https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/VSBHDA/issues/3#issuecomment-1891012728)

MPXPlay

I tried now. It recognise the sound card, show playing a wav file but still no sound.

and confirm your HDA has an IRQ assigned

pciinfo gave me this: 0 1b 0 4 3 0 2 8086/284b 9 multimedia controller (HDA) I didn't got you "EMPTY" issue.

Other test that I made

On BIOS, I disabled USB, Parallel port, COM ports, wifi, bluetooth, network without PXE, network at all, usb "emulator" (for msdos boot from usb). The problem still the same;

@hjnijlunsing, thank you for all your support and information.

hjnijlunsing commented 6 months ago

Ok, crazii is looking at the intel hda code at the moment (https://github.com/crazii/SBEMU/issues/13). Let's wait if a potential fix might also work for your case.

Meanwhile if you need any help in compiling per directions of crazii let me know; I could compile the project for you if required.

tiagotarifa commented 5 months ago

@crazii , great news! (and bad news too)

GREAT NEWS Using version UserBuild_2024.02.03_17-10 works but it's need some steps:

Load sbemu as usual. I did this way: sbemu /VOL9
Then change the output: sbemu /O0

This way doesn't work: sbemu /VOL9 /O0

but, if I run sbemu /VOL9 /O0 and then sbemu /O1 works too.

Sound and FM works. OPL3 doesn't

BAD NEWS Games crashed after run for a while. Games tested:

Doom: Freezes;
Epic Pinball: Freeze after leave Android table;
Boom: Crashed when I tried to run asetup.exe to configure the sound;

These same games doesn't crash if I play without load sbemu and it's dependencies.

On Linux, the sound card description is this: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)

Some pictures of the problem and more information about this sound card on dmesg: new_IMG_20240204_201713 new_IMG_20240204_201825 new_IMG_20240204_202712

Thanks for the report , Plz test with the UserBuild_2024.02.04_23-49 to see if there's any changes.

can you test with the second run with /R (reset sound card driver)? I believe we missed something in handling you card. but dunno what, plz be patient that more time is needed for this problem.

I tested and It has the same behaviour.

Don't worry. I just mark you because it's is a great achievement, in my opinion. I appreciate your work! Thank you!
