- rt_draw shading replaced with the dpl3-revive software-rasterizer model (vrview.py draw(), proven on our own arena captures): lit = sceneAmb + sum |N.L|*col double-sided; c = emis + diff*lit (tex*base*1.275 when textured); Division 10-bit-DAC gamma 1/1.25 on output. Default light rig matches theirs (ambient 0.35 + one 0.65 sun) until wire lights arrive. - Real wire lights decoded per their SceneCache.rebuild(): lmodel type-6 / light type-0xe bodies (dcs @d+12, type @d+16: 2=ambient 3=directional, rgb @d+20), directional aim = light DCS +Z row, sanity-clamped; frame carries summed ambient + up to 2 suns. - Projection: the hardcoded post-projection X flip (SMPTE-era) made the game view steer mirrored (turn right, view swings left). Game path (ydown) now projects without it -- matches dpl3-revive, which has no lateral mirror; demo/test path keeps the flip. User-verified: native window steering now correct.

VPX + AWE32 devices — DOSBox-X integration
Our original source for the emulated pod hardware. Kept here under
version control because the DOSBox-X source tree itself
(emulator/src/, ~490 MB) is git-ignored.
vpxlog.cpp— the Division VPX link adapter (INMOS C012 at I/O base0x150), grown through Phase 3: iserver handshake responder, FIFO scene decode, GL Division renderer (gallery shading model), VDB video-head splitter windows.vweawe.cpp— the dual-AWE32 sound device: two vendored EMU8000 cores at 0x620/0x640 (+0x400/+0x800 triplets), rear-card DSP/mixer stub at 0x240, autonomous render thread with direct winmm output. Needs the GM ROM (emulator/roms/awe32.raw) viaVWE_AWE_ROMor SoundFont uploads are refused (banks declareirom=1MGM). Seeemulator/SOUND-NOTES.md.emu8k.cpp/emu8k.h/emu8k_shim.h— EMU8000 wavetable core vendored from 86Box (GPL-2.0-or-later, same license as DOSBox-X), with a minimal shim; local changes are listed in the emu8k.cpp header.
Applying to a DOSBox-X source checkout
Tested against DOSBox-X v2026.06.02, MSYS2 mingw64.
- Copy the devices in:
cp emulator/vpx-device/vpxlog.cpp emulator/src/src/hardware/ cp emulator/vpx-device/emu8k.cpp emulator/src/src/hardware/ cp emulator/vpx-device/emu8k.h emulator/src/src/hardware/ cp emulator/vpx-device/emu8k_shim.h emulator/src/src/hardware/ cp emulator/vpx-device/vweawe.cpp emulator/src/src/hardware/ - Add them to the hardware build — in
src/src/hardware/Makefile.am, appendvpxlog.cpp emu8k.cpp vweawe.cpptolibhardware_a_SOURCES(we inserted them afterglide.cpp; if you edit the generatedMakefile/Makefile.inby hand instead of re-running automake, also mirror the$(OBJEXT)list, the.Podepfile list, and the depfile include markers — grep for howvpxlogappears and copy the pattern). - Call the inits — in
src/src/gui/sdlmain.cpp, declarevoid VPXLOG_Init();andvoid VWEAWE_Init();next to the other*_Init()prototypes; callVPXLOG_Init();right afterGLIDE_Init();andVWEAWE_Init();right afterSBLASTER_Init();(it needs the mixer initialized). - Build:
Output:
cd emulator/src ./build-mingw-sdl2 --enable-debug=heavysrc/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.
