System emulation

Removed features and incompatible changes

Consult the 'Removed features' page for details of suggested replacement functionality.

• The Nios II target has been removed.
• The "scsi" property of virtio-blk devices has been removed. SCSI command passthrough had never been present on virtio-blk 1.0 devices, and is now removed from legacy devices as well. Use virtio-scsi instead.
• The pvrdma device and rdmacm-mux helper has been removed.
• The "block migration" options to the migrate commands ("blk" and "inc" for QMP, "-b"/"-i" for the human monitor) have been removed; guest management software such as libvirt is able to perform block migration more efficiently using block jobs and NBD devices.
• The "compress" migration capability has been removed; multifd migration is able to do compression and can be used instead.

New deprecated options and features

Consult the "Deprecated Features" chapter of the QEMU System Emulation User's Guide for further details of the deprecations and their suggested replacements.

• Using the migration URI "fd" together with files has been deprecated. Use it only for sockets, and use "file:" to save a snapshot to a file.
• The "ref405ep" machine and PPC405 CPUs have been deprecated. Firmware images are not available and Linux is dropping support this year as well.
• The PCOMMIT instruction is not decoded by TCG anymore and the corresponding "-cpu pcommit=..." flag is deprecated.

Build Information

Build Dependencies

• When using Python 3.10 or older, building QEMU requires the tomli package to be installed on the host. (The dependency was introduced in QEMU 8.2 but until now QEMU included a vendored copy of the library).
• Building QEMU now requires Meson 1.1 or newer. QEMU however includes a copy of Meson, which is used if a suitable version is not available on the host.

Configuration

• When building with the "--without-default-devices" option, boards have to be enabled specifically in the configs/devices/*/*.mak files. In previous versions, most targets (all except ARM) listed enabled all boards even for --without-default-devices builds, and they had to be disabled instead.

Host support

• When built for the x86 architecture (either 32-bit or 64-bit) QEMU now can specify the desired architecture baseline. For example, configuring with --x86-version=2 will build a version of QEMU that requires x86-64-v2 processors (Intel Nehalem, or Sandy Bridge for the Pentium and Celeron lines, Intel Atom Silvermont, and AMD Bulldozer processors).
• libfdt is not anymore a hard requirement when building the i386-softmmu, mips64el-softmmu, ppc-softmmu and x86_64-softmmu targets. Instead, if libfdt is not available, boards that require it will not be included in the emulator.
• The --enable-avx512f option to configure has been removed, since there is no code in QEMU that uses AVX512F instructions.

Docker Tweaks

• Bumped docker images to Fedora 40 and Alpine 319

Windows

Testing and CI

• The ansible configure scripts for CI machines are now driven by lcitool metadata
• BSD images were updated for the python uprev
• Testing now dumps a packages.txt in the artefacts to help catch package changes
• checkpatch will prompt MAINTAINER actions when touching imported headers

Known issues

• See https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/milestones/13
• The x86 decoder was mostly rewritten and is still a bit slower than in QEMU 9.0 and earlier. Some optimizations are planned for future versions of QEMU.

1.10

Along with support for Classic Marathon Infinity on Steam and an uploader for the Steam Workshop, this release also includes a new scenario chooser.

To use the scenario chooser, place the Aleph One executable in a folder containing scenario folders, or add a "Scenarios" folder to one of the original trilogy folders. The scenario chooser is not included with all-in-one Mac apps; use the standalone Aleph One app instead.

0.15

This release overhauls the graphics code to more closely match the look of the original game. The renderer now also uses meshes, shaders, and draw calls normally found in an OpenGL or Vulkan engine.

Overall FPS is below average due to draw calls not being batched yet and the rasterizer being relatively unoptimized (it was very challenging to reliably coax all compilers to output good assembly, so there is still room for improvement). One optimization of interest however is the addition of a voxel quadtree for efficiently testing visibility to the camera.

Release video is here.

Known Issues

• You may get a Windows SmartScreen notification that this application is 'unknown'. You will need to click 'run anyway'. The MartyPC Windows executable is signed via Sectigo; I have done all I can think of to appease Microsoft, and not sure what else to do. This is NOT a malware warning.
• WGPU support for older GPUs has moved from DirectX to OpenGL. If you are running an older graphics card or integrated graphics adapter and experience poor performance, please set the following user environment variable:

WGPU_BACKEND=gl

• macOS users on Intel may experience colored stripes on the screen in fullscreen mode. Enable macos_stripe_fixin the configuration to resolve this.

New devices

• LoTech 2MB EMS Board

  • Added emulation of the LoTech 2MB EMS Card
    This card can be added to any machine configuration via the lotech_ems overlay. You can specify the window segment
    and IO base address. However, these values must match one of the values supported by the real hardware or the driver
    won't work with it.

• Game Port and Joystick

  • Added emulation of the IBM game port card, and basic keyboard-based joystick emulation. There is a new keyboard
    hotkey (JoyToggle) to turn this on and off (provisionally defined as Ctrl-F9), as well as configurable
    joystick_keys in the configuration you can use to define what keys control the joystick.
  • PCJr and Tandy 1000 machines will have a game port installed automatically. You can add a game port to any PC or XT
    configuration via the game_port overlay.
  • Two two-button, two-axis joysticks are assumed to be connected when you specify a game port.
    Different joystick configurations may be supported in the future.

• PCJr Cartridge Slots

  • Added support in the core, frontend and GUI for PCJr cartridges in JRipCart format. Inserting or removing a cart
    will reboot the machine. You will only see the cartridge slots when using the PCJr machine.

Frontend Bug Fixes / Improvements

• Added a new resource type 'cartridge' and menu interface to browse and select PCJr Cartridges.

Core Bug Fixes / Improvements

• SERIAL: Fixed many issues in MartyPC's 8250 UART emulation. PCjr now boots without error code 'D' and Checkit2 serial
  diagnostics also pass.
• BUS: Implemented a terminal_port configuration option under [machine] in the main configuration. Writes to this
  port will be printed to the host's terminal.
• MC6845: Fixed an issue preventing entering vertical total adjust period if vertical total was 127. Fixes some Hercules
  display issues.
• HERCULES: Increased the size of the Hercules' display field to accomodate some CGA emulators that drive the MDA
  monitor slightly out of sync (Fixes BBSIMCGA)
• CGA: Added CGA's external mode register to debug output
• MACHINE: Added a facility to record disassembly listings from running code. The output filename is set by
  disassembly_file under [machine] in the main configuration.
  Basically, this feature saves instruction disassembly to a hash table by CS:IP. Modification of code segments will
  override previous disassembly, so it is most useful to toggle this feature on and off for specified periods.

Debugger Bug Fixes / Improvements

• Serial Status window: Displays serial port registers and statistics.
• IO Status Window
  • Added a 'reset' button to reset all the port counters.
  • Added the last read byte value for each port

• SAVES: Fix core config saving
• SAVES: Fix save new config name when core loaded
• SAVESTATES: Increase save state chunk size for all platforms – Even a class 6 or class 10 SD card can handle reads and writes on the order of MB/s, which means a 4KB chunk size is just wasting time in syscalls. This could maybe be fixed with a buffering reader but I don’t feel comfortable tweaking libretro-common’s VFS to handle that. Instead, I thought it would be good to both remove an ifdef and increase the chunk size to 128KB. For cores with small states this will should make state saving virtually instantaneous, and for cores with large states it should be a 32x speedup.

• WAYLAND: Use frontend signal handler to quit (fix quit by window close)
• WAYLAND: Commit viewport resizes (window resize is more responsive)
• UWP: Align MESA to alpha-2-resfix – Remove wrong resolution special handling for OPENGL
• UWP: 4K fix: align MESA reading of ClientRect to retroarch procedure, this fixes max resolution being set to 1080p. As reading must be done inside an UI thread and is in fact an async operation which might delay frame generation, the reading itself is doen once and cached, give that changing resolution while the app is running is an unlikely corner-case use

This is implemented with a scrolling scissor rect rather than in the shader itself as this is more efficient although may not work for every shader pass – we may need an option to exclude certain passes. The implementation simply divides the screen up by the number of sub frames and then moves the scissor rect down over the screen over the number of sub frames

v1.1.0

New Tutorial

We have a new tutorial! When starting a new playthrough, you will be greeted with this message, replacing the classic Daggerfall tutorial.

Compared to the old DOS FALL.EXE, Daggerfall Unity is a new software with different features and settings. As such, many messages in the tutorial were no longer relevant, or could be rewritten with the expected DFU experience in mind. DFU is already a notable departure from the original game on many basic gameplay aspects, it only makes sense that the tutorial should be adapted in consequence.

We hope this new approach will be useful for new DFU players, even ones with DF experience.

Music fixes

Did you know there is a theme in Daggerfall that is rumored to be unused, but actually appears in the game? This "Knight Theme" is not used in Knight Order halls, but can be heard in some Fighter Trainers halls in Hammerfell!

DFU v1.1.0 reintroduces this theme at the appropriate location (assuming you're not running any mods that changes those locations), and fixes many other music differences from the original game. Did you know gods all have one of three themes at their temples? It should always be the same when you visit the same temple now. Try to notice which gods share themes.

Crash fixes

We've taken steps to reduce crashes; the only one known to originate from DFU itself. Some users were experiencing multiple crashes per day, and v1.1.0 should be much better for those users. Some crashes may still originate from certain mod combinations, try and reach out to support to identify the issue.

With this change, we now have object tracking in the debug HUD for DFU. With the console command tdbg, you should be able to track how many objects DFU has created, which could help track memory issues in heavily modded setups.
