I'm missing all the new roms. Does anyone have an updated romset?

Not complete.

Elonex PC-425X ROM is still missing.

elx_pc425x/elx_pc425x.bin
or
elx_pc425x/elx_pc425x_bios.bin
elx_pc425x/elx_pc425x_vbios.bin

Thank you very much.

Despite not being complete where can we find the roms that ARE available?

In the attached file to AnnWu's first answer. I missed it too the first time.

Regarding Elonex PC-425X, it seems like a difficult search. The manufacturer website is down because they closed years ago, and there's not much info about them around the web.

Thank you AnnaWu!

As for the Elonex PC-425X, this is the best I could find: http://web.archive.org/web/20050306133610fw_/http://www.elonex.co.uk:80/techsupport/drivers/bios.asp

Unfortunately, all the links point to a dead FTP site and the PC-425X BIOS doesn't seem to be there anyway.

Thank you AnnaWu

Thank you for your help.  I hope someone can find the Elonex ROM at some point because I learned to type on an Elonex PC back in the day.

Thanks a lot! (ツ)

Thanks a lot,

Beside did anyone found the Olivetti GO481  (Paradise PVGA1A)  roms? look like this one also difficult to find. 

Paradise PVGA1A rom its only one file and can be found, but PCem need two files (hi and lo roms) that is not easy. 

Euee made a library (nvl.dll) for using Virtual PC (*.VHD), VirtualBox/VMware (*.VMDK), QUEMU (*.QCOW) images with PCem.

With NHC tool you can convert HD images in other formats.

Hi,
This is the new version of PCem compiled with the VHDv2 patch.

I found a 430vx bios in an motherboard update archive that is different from the one here but also claims to be the same version. I'm not sure what the difference is.

Anyone know?

 I assume it's es425.exe ?

In that case I found it, inside is 256kb rom file.

Is the attached file the correct one (haven't tested it) ?

Also is there a dat available for this bios set ?

Tried the 256Kb ROM named "W6738VE1.130", renamed to "elx_pc425x.bin", as per source ( https://bitbucket.org/pcem_emulator/pcem/src ), it now show in PCem configuration, but it did not work. No boot, just black screen. The source mention this:

Elonex PC-425X (1993)

486SX at 25 MHz, 1-256MB RAM, built-in Trident TGUI9440CXi

ROM files needed:
 elx_pc425x/elx_pc425x.bin
or
 elx_pc425x/elx_pc425x_bios.bin
 elx_pc425x/elx_pc425x_vbios.bin

Unfortunately, no mention of size or CRC, despite the information unassumingly available. Also, most 486 BIOS are 64Kb or 128Kb. 256Kb seems large, but the video BIOS of the integrated graphics also take some space. So maybe "elx_pc425x_vbios.bin" is missing, or this 256Kb version does include the Vbios, but PCem refuse to accept it for some reason. Or it's maybe simply the wrong BIOS.

From PCem's mem.c file:

/*PC-425X uses a single ROM chip containing both main and video BIOSes.
                  First 32kb is video BIOS, next 32kb is blank, last 64kb is main BIOS.
                  Alternatively, seperate BIOS + video BIOS dumps are supported.*/

PCem looks for either a single 128 kbyte

"elx_pc425x/elx_pc425x.bin"

or 64 kbyte and 32 kbyte

"elx_pc425x/elx_pc425x_bios.bin" and "elx_pc425x/elx_pc425x_vbios.bin"

I used 7zip to extract the W6738VE1.130 file and this 128kB file resulted (see attached), which I also tried renaming to the filename mentioned so far and placing it in its respective ROM folder under the PCem folder. Also black screen. When I opened it in a hex editor I did notice a blank portion in the middle as described.

I noticed a string near the end of the BIN file: "c. Awar#04/28/2003-KM266-8235-6A6LVM4DC"

Note the date indicating the year 2003. So I'm wondering if this is for the computer in question given the computer indicated is from 1993 and it's unlikely they released a BIOS update for it in 2003

The merged bios should not be more than 128KB (the BIOS should be around 1992-1993 probably)

I you want to split it you may try split2.exe (? maybe I don't know) :

From a quick look in the source (mem.c) you can find that 64KB is the VGA BIOS (32KB the actual VGA BIOS + the rest 32KB are garbage = thus the first 32KB should be the real VGA BIOS).

And the last 64KB should be the BIOS (AWARD? AMI? I don't).

 definitly wrong bios, quick search will show what its all about "Awar#04/28/2003-KM266-8235-6A6LVM4DC"

 Yes! Thank you!

 Thank you!!

I updated my fork V17 for CRT. https://github.com/psakhis/pcem4crt/releases

I'm so away from emulation etc.

PCem development stopped, but 86Box still grows.

Pleasuredome is not anymore, but retroroms is here, plus members of pleasuredome are still provide mame roms.

etc. etc.

But all these are nothing.

Greets,

Daffy Duck

Edited by Mucci -> please do not post/add thing that are not emulator related here. Thank you.
