Closes #75

volkertb commented 10 months ago

@crazii Do you know if by any chance the "protected mode only" mode that SBEMU falls back to when JEMM and QPIEMU.DLL aren't loaded is functional? Perhaps this is a little-tested scenario?

Because in GitHub Actions, Sound Blaster detection doesn't appear to be working in QEMU (at least in the protected mode command-line player STP32.EXE from the AIL/32 driver distribution, which I used to run the DOS test in).

I tried this with both Intel HDA ich6, Intel HDA ich9 and ICHx AC'97. See the test runs here: https://github.com/crazii/SBEMU/actions/runs/7598193959/job/20693913025 (particularly the output in the Test executable step.

I guess I can have QEMU also load QEMM and QPIEMU.DLL in the test in this workflow, to rule that out.

But perhaps you could provide some insights here as well?

Thanks!

I tested sometimes and it worked. But it crashes at exiting, on my T540p without HDPMI and with CWSDPMI (real mode only, PM disabled), there's bug to be fixed.
