[GXemul-users] GXemul 0.6.2

[Anders G. <ga...@gm...>]

Hello,

GXemul 0.6.2 is now available at http://gavare.se/gxemul/download.html

The most important changes between release 0.6.1 and 0.6.2 are:

When writing to mirrored RAM ranges, any dyntrans translations
made in either the mirror or the mirrored ranges are now invalidated.
This means that an emulated SGI O2 can now be used with up to
1 GB of RAM when running OpenBSD/sgi as a guest OS. Previously,
256 MB was the maximum amount of emulated RAM possible for the
SGI O2.

A fix 2018-06-13 (between 0.6.0.1 and 0.6.0.2) for translation
invalidation when using larger than 4 KB pages, which made
HelenOS/malta run further, caused a regression which broke
NetBSD/hpcmips (on VR4121 CPUs, which have 1 KB native
page size). A bit of cleanup seems to have fixed this, so that
both NetBSD/hpcmips and HelenOS/malta work now.

Cleanup: The MIPS processor emulation implemented in the
"new framework", and the corresponding MIPS machine
modes in the new framework, have been removed. (All
meaningful MIPS emulation is in the old framework anyway.)

Various documentation updates.
