CydandClaude Opus 4.8 1b973917fa VDB windows: render the actual gauge framebuffer (similar output)

Replace the palette-swatch windows with ones that render DOSBox's live gauge
framebuffer -- the M_LIN16 16bpp video memory (vga.mem.linear, 640x480, 5:6:5,
start=vga.config.real_start) via glDrawPixels. Each window now shows the real
gauge image, matching the DOSBox screen ("similar output"), confirmed live.
Diagnostic: the VDB splitter-on log now prints the framebuffer mode
(0x111 / M_LIN16 / 640x480) -- confirming direct color, so the palettes are
not index LUTs.

All three windows currently show the shared framebuffer identically; the
per-display palette decode (how the VDB carves the encoded 16bpp stream into
the six monitor outputs) is the next step.

VPX device — DOSBox-X integration

Our original source for the emulated Division VPX link adapter. Kept here under version control because the DOSBox-X source tree itself (emulator/src/, ~490 MB) is git-ignored.

vpxlog.cpp — Phase 1 logging device. Impersonates the INMOS C012 link adapter at I/O base 0x150, answers status reads so the game keeps transmitting, and logs every access to $VPXLOG. (Phase 2 will grow this into a responding transputer-monitor + i860-loader + frame-stream renderer, or fork into a separate vpx.cpp.)

Applying to a DOSBox-X source checkout

Tested against DOSBox-X v2026.06.02, MSYS2 mingw64.

Copy the device in:

cp emulator/vpx-device/vpxlog.cpp  emulator/src/src/hardware/vpxlog.cpp

Add it to the hardware build — in src/src/hardware/Makefile.am, append vpxlog.cpp to libhardware_a_SOURCES (we inserted it after glide.cpp).
Call the init — in src/src/gui/sdlmain.cpp, declare void VPXLOG_Init(); next to the other *_Init() prototypes and call VPXLOG_Init(); right after GLIDE_Init(); in the machine bring-up sequence.

Build:

cd emulator/src
./build-mingw-sdl2 --enable-debug=heavy

Output: src/src/dosbox-x.exe.

Running

set VPXLOG=C:\VWE\TeslaRel410\emulator\vpxlog.txt
emulator\src\src\dosbox-x.exe -conf emulator\capture.conf
python emulator\analyze_capture.py

With VPXLOG unset the device is inert and the build behaves like stock DOSBox-X.
