hi,
I met the situation you described before.
x86emu0.6 will give such result on many cards.
I believe it's because their bioses access vga
memory between address [0xa0000-0xc0000],while
in x86emu0.6, the mem_read/mem_write doesn't
distinguish they from bios code section.
I guess that your code:
1. copy bios code to PHYSICAL MEMORY 0xc0000
2. emulation code,and redirect accesses to
[0xa0000-0xfffff] to PHYSICAL memory 0xa0000-0xfffff
3. code ok,vga memory access failed. Because pci addr
!=physical addr in your platform
x86emu-0.8 solve this.
Another caution please,the original code may define
#define char u8
and your compiler might treat 'char' as unsigned!At
least my sde-gcc from algor seems to do this.it will
lead to failure of 'JB' emulation.
