Vendored 86Box EMU8000 core (GPL-2, emu8k.cpp/.h + shim) plus vweawe.cpp: two cards at the production addresses (0x620/0x640 register triplets), rear-card DSP/mixer stub at 0x240, synthesis on an autonomous render thread with direct winmm output so sustained voices ride through emulation-thread stalls (RIO staging retries) like the real silicon did. WC sample-counter interpolation between render chunks keeps HMI SOS busy-waits fast. VWE_AWE32/VWE_AWE_ROM/VWE_AWE_RAM_KB/VWE_AWE_SHIFT/ VWE_AWE_LEAD_MS/VWE_AWE_DUMP/VWE_AWE_LOG env knobs. emulator/roms: the AWE32 1MGM GM ROM dumped from our own pod card (SF2) plus the reconstructed raw image the emulated EMU8000 loads. The HMI driver refuses the AUDIO*.RES SoundFont upload without it (banks declare irom=1MGM) -- that was the root cause of the first silent runs; full debug chain in SOUND-NOTES.md. Repo serves the pod-owner community only. .gitignore: drop the ROM excludes and un-ignore ALPHA_1/ and sda4/ (committed separately). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Card ROMs
1mgm.sf2— the AWE32's 1MB "1MGM" General MIDI sample ROM, dumped from one of our own pod AWE32 cards (the cockpits each carried two, with 2x 30-pin DRAM SIMMs). Preserved here because the pod audio banks (ALPHA_1/REL410/BT/AUDIO/AUDIO*.RES) declareirom=1MGM, and the HMI SOS AWE32 driver refuses the SoundFont upload if the card has no GM ROM.awe32.raw— the same content reconstructed as the raw 1MB ROM image the emulated EMU8000 loads (VWE_AWE_ROM=emulator\roms\awe32.raw): the SF2'ssmplchunk (1,047,588 bytes) end-aligned into a zeroed 1MB buffer, with the1MGMID words (0x314D 0x474D) at word offsets 2–3. Rebuild with any RIFF parser if the SF2 changes; the recipe lives in SOUND-NOTES.md.
