Kyvos was updated

@Mlehto
Unless you use the yet unreleased fixed kernel on a real PegasosII then the kernel up to and including 4.1FEUpdate2 has a known problem with configuring interrupts on PegasosII that BBoot does fix. This was found on QEMU but affects real PegasosII as well so using BBoot on that might help too (and it also boots faster). This can lead to lost interrupts if multiple devices use the same interrupt and that happens more on PegasosII due to how the firmware assigns interrupts. The BBoot README has some info on how to use it on real PegasosII. Removing a card may only help by reducing number of interrupts so the problem happens less frequently but it's not really fixed. Only updated kernel or BBoot fixes that config issue.
On QEMU this problem is fixed using BBoot too but interrupts still don't seem to work with passed through graphics cards so that's a different and unrelated issue that is not fixed yet which likely does not affect real machines but specific to vfio-pci.

Thank you. Really. Have to check bboot and use it.

Today I released a new version of Kyvos, which reach the 1.5.0. This is a smaller release with a couple of features implemented and a reported bug fix.

Here is a list of the latest changes

### Added
- Added the options "zoom to fit" and "zoom interpolation"
- Added a new tab to keep notes for each VM

### Fixed
- Fixed an issue with the bboot path when there is a space

Kyvos can be downloaded at https://ko-fi.com/s/6476fdadd2

Sorry to ask...

I get in AmigaOS4 and also MOS the same error:

"There was an error with the VM and it couldn't start. Please check the configuration"

Where I'm wrong?

The creation of VW was completed ok...

@Tuxedo
I guess you are Windows, right? It is a little bit difficult for me to help you with the information you provide.

I would suggest you get the qemu command with all its arguments (right-click on the vm and select the arguments menu) and paste them in a terminal. Then execute it. This will provide you more information, that will be useful for me to help you.

Also, please download and read the manual, especially the FAQ section, which has a lot of useful information.

If you can't figure out the error, paste here the result, as well as the command that is used.

Its ok or have to do something else?

On the FAQ section the error I write before wasn't explained so I wrote here...

Yes, I use win11.

The qemu you have installed does not support the SDL renderer. Did you download the Windows version mentioned in the manual or something else?

I simply run kyvos and let him download all needed...maybe something went wrong in that process(I do it with kyvos 1.4.0

Where I've to get the right qemu version?

Thank you.

@Tuxedo
The issue you have is with the installed QEmu on your system. Kyvos doesn't download it. This needs to be installed manually. I provide information where to download it in the manual that is available to be downloaded from the same place you got Kyvos. Also, the same information is available at https://github.com/walkero-gr/kyvos

Thank you.
Since kyvos will download some dependencies I tought it downloaded also qemu, instead it was iustalled by me who know when...

Keep Up Good work!

Yeah, Kyvos can't and shouldn't do that because qemu and 7zip, which my app uses, need to be installed system wise. Especially when Windows and macOS are so picky on what software is installed, and if that has been signed with their companies etc. Also, with Linux there are so many different distributions and ways to install them, that would be time and energy consuming to support all of them. So, I prefer to leave it to the users.

@balaton

Managed to get archlinux and qemu up. Actually Os4.1 works surprisingly well with sm501 emu. Even on generic i7 laptop. Its not rocket but not sluggis either.

Allso bboot works on my real pegasos2 now. You mean that bboot fixes edge/level on interrupts? That really should change things, let see. After all, it is welcome fix, as no one knows when updated kernel will be published. I install usb2 card back, it shows difference pretty fast.

Wich fixes bboot includes regarding to problems on OS4.1 on Pegasos2?

I scanned today all devices connected on OF and irqs looks fine there. Have to double check.


Thanks anyway, qemu is pretty cool :) Ordered R9 270 card, let see results with that.
