What´s New?
May 20, 2013: created pre-release of Qemu-1.4.1 (see Changelog): actually not ready for real distribution:
Removed the test images from the zip file: it´s too big, if needed you´ll have to fetch them in the
Qemu Testing area. Start up .bat files are available in the release directory;
i386-test.bat: still slow booting
i386-VNC-test.bat: works usual speed (with TightVNC, forget VNC-Viewer) =>
SDL support is broken ?
arm-test.bat: ´(Not Responding)´ Works when using VNC
sparc-test.bat: works correctly
mipsel-test*.bat: doesn´t work, even with VNC
ppc-test.bat: starts in
Qemu console mode
May 27, 2013: created Qemu-1.4.2 (see Changelog). Switched to
ZLIB 1.2.7-1 and corrected some errors in my development environment as I changed the PC used for compiling (now Windows7) and
MinGW is now installed in C:
Status below is based on tests done on this Windows7 machine with the new bat files available in the release directory:
i386-test.bat: Still (very) slow booting; tried -std vga, -std cirrus and -sdl => no changes.
i386-VNC-test.bat: Works fast with tightVnc (Remember to use 127.0.0.1::5900 for the Host in TightVNCViewer); Tried SET QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=fmod and QEMU_FMOD_DRV=dsound => no audio output (?).
arm-test.bat: ´(Not Responding)´; but works when using VNC.
sparc-test.bat: works correctly but keyboard is not active (maybe a problem with my antivirus); works with VNC.
mipsel-test*.bat: doesn´t work, even with VNC.
ppc-test.bat: blocked in
Qemu console mode and keyboard is not active (maybe a problem with my antivirus again); stdout says: Unable to get size of device tree file ´ppc.dtb´
June 18, 2013: created Qemu-1.5.0 (see Changelog)
Status as for previous version is:
i386-test.bat: works finally correctly !
arm-test.bat: blocked and ´not responding´ with
SDL only, works with VNC.
sparc-test.bat: works correctly (security software was blocking the keyboard)
mipsel-test*.bat: nothing is displayed (even with VNC) but no ´not responding´
ppc-test.bat: starts in
Qemu console mode and I dunno how to continue (command line probably wrong)
