TODO

still needs to fix INSECTS.EXE

still need to fix IOCTL

still need to fix 'EMS: Less than 2 Mb' warning (day of the tentacle)

still need to implement a small function for B.A.T. II

still need to implement a small PSP function (INT21H) for Alpha Waves (edit: done)

still need to fix the DOS console (INT21H function)

This is only a reference branch, do not merge !

Still this branch fixes (among other things) :

  • Wizardry 7
  • Alpha Waves (TSR support)
  • Civilization 1 (until it hangs)
  • Day of the Tentacle (RTC Clock, Set Current PSP)
  • Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (BIOS WAIT function)
  • Monkey Island 2 (overlay loading)
  • Detroit
  • The summoning
  • Princess Maker 2
  • Knights of Xentar (with some commits to be done still)
  • Rules of Engagement 2 (VESA, and the PSP ENV block lacked an MCB, and was erased !)
  • lack of COMMAND.COM
  • lack of proper initialization DOS kernel structures init (yes, even more of them)
  • Batch support
  • Reunion (FCB support)
  • refactorings to IOCTL implementation
  • new small DOS and BIOS functions
  • and more....

Each area should be put in a separate PR, triple checked, and put under tests.

This branch is only for reference, as games need a lot of fixes in a lot of areas together in order to work.

This PR also brings lots of ASM based integration tests

Does not fix (and I will most certainly let other people fix it) :

Mouse clicks not registering in Rules of engagement 2 (but it can be played via the keyboard)
Mouse drift in some games
Mouse being way too fast in Princess Maker 2

- Follow KeyboardInt16Handler pattern for ASM integration
- Update SystemBiosInt15Handler constructor to accept BiosDataArea and DualPic
- Update dependency injection to pass required parameters
- All existing tests pass (693 passed, 1 skipped)

Co-authored-by: maximilien-noal <[email protected]>

* Add INT 70h test and update documentation

Co-authored-by: maximilien-noal <[email protected]>

* Refactor RtcInt70Handler to extend InterruptHandler base class

Changed from implementing IInterruptHandler directly to extending InterruptHandler base class. This eliminates the need for custom WriteAssemblyInRam implementation since the base class provides the same functionality. The handler now uses the standard pattern with Run() method instead of custom callback registration.

Co-authored-by: maximilien-noal <[email protected]>

* Address code review comments on RtcInt70Handler

- Fix timeout comparison: use < instead of <= to match IBM BIOS SUB/SBB/JNC logic
- Fix documentation: clarify INT 4Ah callback is not implemented
- Fix null pointer check: properly check for 0000:0000 using AND logic

Co-authored-by: maximilien-noal <[email protected]>

* Wire up RTC periodic interrupts to PicEventQueue for deterministic timing

Instead of lazy evaluation on I/O access, RTC periodic interrupts now use the PIC event queue for deterministic CPU cycle-accurate scheduling. When periodic interrupts are enabled, events are scheduled via PicEventQueue. When disabled, pending events are cancelled. This ensures interrupts fire at predictable CPU cycle positions as demanded.

Co-authored-by: maximilien-noal <[email protected]>

* Simplify RTC interrupt handler to match DOSBox pattern

Reverted PicEventQueue integration - RTC uses lazy evaluation on I/O access as before. Simplified HandlePeriodicInterrupt to match DOSBox logic more closely:
- Use 997 microseconds decrement (DOSBox value) instead of 976
- Simplified conditional: if count > 997 then decrement, else complete
- OR user flag with 0x80 instead of setting it (matches DOSBox mem_writeb pattern)
- Reordered CompleteWait to match DOSBox sequence

The interrupt handler itself is cleaner and follows the established DOSBox pattern while keeping the real BIOS behavior.

Co-authored-by: maximilien-noal <[email protected]>

* Address Copilot AI review comments

- Simplified null pointer check to use SegmentedAddress.ZERO constant for better idiomatic code
- Added bios_int70_wait.asm to Makefile SOURCES list so it compiles with 'make all'

1. Removed virtual property access from DosDeviceHeader constructor
   - Moved NextDevicePointer initialization to call sites
   - Avoids virtual call in constructor (CodeQL warning)
   - Prevents accidental overwrite of valid pointer values

2. Fixed duplicate enum value in GenericIoctlCategory
   - Removed Printer enum value (was duplicate of CodePageSwitching at 0x05)
   - Per MS-DOS spec, printer uses category 0x05 (code page switching)

3. Explicitly initialize NextDevicePointer at all device creation sites:
   - CharacterDevice base constructor

* Initial plan

* Fix DOS environment block to preserve full program path

The environment block now correctly preserves the full directory path of the
executing program (e.g., "C:\GAMES\MYGAME.EXE" instead of just "C:\MYGAME.EXE").

This fix addresses the issue where VB3 compiled DOS programs couldn't find
their runtime. The runtime is typically embedded within the executable and
the program determines its location by reading the program path from the
environment block (after the double-null terminated variables, followed by
a WORD count and the ASCIZ path).

Changes:
- DosFileManager.GetDosProgramPath: Now properly converts host paths to full
  DOS paths by finding the matching mounted drive and constructing the correct
  path including subdirectories
- DosProcessManager.CreateEnvironmentBlock: No longer redundantly calls
  GetDosProgramPath since the program path is already a valid DOS path
- DosDriveManager: Added GetDrives() method to enumerate mounted drives
- Added integration test to verify environment block contains valid program path

Co-authored-by: maximilien-noal <[email protected]>

* Address code review feedback

- Move path normalization outside the foreach loop in GetDosProgramPath
- Use OfType<VirtualDrive>() instead of Where().! for null filtering

Co-authored-by: maximilien-noal <[email protected]>

* Address code review: fix StartsWith false positive and use ConvertUtils

- Fix StartsWith check to verify exact directory boundaries by checking
  if the next character is a separator (e.g., "/home/user/games" no
  longer matches "/home/user/gamesdir/file.exe")
- Replace inefficient while loop with ConvertUtils.ToBackSlashPath and
  ConvertUtils.ToSlashPath which already handle double slashes properly
- Consistent use of forward slashes internally for host path comparison

Co-authored-by: maximilien-noal <[email protected]>

* Remove fallback path behavior in GetDosProgramPath

Remove the backward compatibility fallback that would use current drive
and filename when no matching mounted drive was found. The old behavior
was incorrect MS-DOS emulation anyway, so throw an exception instead.

… tracking changes lost during rebase (#64)

* Initial plan

* feat: Add SetCurrentPsp (INT 21h AH=50h) handler to DosInt21Handler

This restores the SetCurrentPsp functionality that was lost during a rebase:
- Add SetCurrentPspSegment method to DosProgramSegmentPrefixTracker
- Update DosProgramSegmentPrefixTracker constructor to accept DosSwappableDataArea
- Update Dos.cs to pass DosSwappableDataArea to DosProgramSegmentPrefixTracker
- Add AddAction(0x50, () => SetCurrentPsp()) handler registration
- Add SetCurrentPsp() method implementation

Used by games like Day of the Tentacle to set the current PSP segment.

Co-authored-by: maximilien-noal <[email protected]>

* Complete SetCurrentPsp implementation with additional PSP tracking changes

Applied all changes from feature/set_current_psp branch:
- GetCurrentPsp() now returns non-nullable and reads from DosSwappableDataArea
- GetCurrentPspSegment() reads directly from DosSwappableDataArea
- PushPspSegment() also sets DosSwappableDataArea.CurrentProgramSegmentPrefix
- PopCurrentPspSegment() fixed to work with segment-based lookup
- Constructor initializes DosSwappableDataArea with InitialPspSegment
- Updated tests to match new behavior

- Update DosMemoryManagerTest.ReleaseAllocatedMemoryBlock to match new behavior
  (blocks remain at allocated size after freeing, joining deferred to allocation)

* Address code review feedback: improve documentation

- Add explanation for why 0x0070 was chosen as default PSP segment
- Add FreeDOS function references (DosMemFree, FreeProcessMem) for consistency
- Clarify comments about deferred block joining behavior

* Fix EMS context save area size calculation

Fixed bug in GetExpandedMemoryHardwareInformation (function 0x59, subfunction 0x00) where context save area size was incorrectly returning the count of allocated logical pages instead of the size in bytes needed to save the mapping context.

Following the FreeDOS EMM386 formula: (physicalPages + 1) * 4, the correct value for 4 physical pages is 20 bytes, not the count of allocated pages.
