Summary

It adds an unpopular Japanese EGA (JEGA) video card emulation.

I wanted to make it generic, but the only available ROM is dumped from a laptop computer, Oki if386AX. The card initialization depends on the CMOS data of that machine, so I had to patch some part of the ROM. The original 16x16 font was not available from the contributor. I added Shinonome 16-dot font that is available in free, but it doesn't have NEC's special characters. These ROMs might be replaced in the future.

I tested it with the Shuttle 386SX machine.

To contributors, thank you for providing ROMs and testing.

It seems there was an official English version of AX Technical Reference Guide, but it's not available in public.

Merged. Question - can you upload the program from the first screenshot and the Windows 2.x for AX somewhere?
