0.83.25
- XGA: Do not register XGA I/O ports unless emulating
S3 chipset (such as machine=svga_s3) (joncampbell123) - Menu options "Force scaler" and "Print text screen"
can now be assigned to keyboard shortcuts from the
Mapper Editor. (Wengier) - Allowed to boot from Toshiba DOS image file for the
Toshiba J-3100 emulation. (nanshiki) - Default S3 machine types now support XGA/SXGA VText
in DOS/V, in addition to svga_et4000. (nanshiki) - Added "j3100backcolor" and "j300textcolor" config
options (in [dosv] section) to specify background
and text colors in J-3100 mode. (nanshiki) - Added config option "aspect_ratio" (in [render]
section) which when set will force the specified
aspect ratio (e.g. 16:9 or 3:2) in the aspect ratio
correction mode (i.e. aspect=true). A menu group
"Aspect ratio" is added to "Video" menu for users
to select or set an aspect ratio, including an
original ratio option. (Wengier) - Added config option "show recorded filename" (in
[dosbox] section) which when set to true (default)
will show message boxes with recorded filenames
when making audio or video captures. (Wengier) - Added config option "allow quit after warning" (in
[dosbox] section) which when set to false DOSBox-X
will disallow the quit option after displaying a
warning message. (Wengier) - Added config option "turbo last second" (in [cpu]
section) which allows to stop the Turbo function
after specified number of seconds. (Wengier) - Updated FLAC, MP3, and WAV decoder libraries to the
latest versions (v0.12.38, v0.6.32, and v0.13.6)
respectively; per David Reid). (Wengier) - Added support for upper case characters (A-Z) for
AUTOTYPE command. (kcgen) - Added /T option for CHOICE command to set a default
choice as in DOS, e.g. CHOICE /T:Y,3 (Wengier) - Added Korean language option in Windows installer.
Also, language option page will be shown regardless
of the output option selected. (Wengier) - Add stub INT 10h handler at F000:F065 if
machine=vgaonly and using a VGA ROM BIOS image.
The IBM VGA ROM BIOS image points INT 42h at that
fixed address and calls it for any function it does
not understand. (joncampbell123) - Set int33 event status bit 8 when passing absolute
mouse coordinates, which is useful in emulation or
virtualization environments where the mouse may be
integrated with the host cursor. (javispedro) - Added support for Pentium Pro hinting NOPs and
related multi-byte NOPs. (Jookia) - Updated HX DOS Extender to latest version 2.19 for

- Fixed color in some modes under x86-64 macOS SDL2
builds. (myon98) - Fixed extra INT 10h call during BIOS screen. The
extra call caused crashes when combined with a ROM
image of the stock IBM VGA BIOS. (joncampbell123) - Fixed fscale FPU operation and updated FPU status
word. Also fixed FPU stack value log messages on
x86-based builds. (cimarronm) - Fixed bug that OpenGL Voodoo window may not appear
correctly if the DOSBox-X window was previously in
full-screen mode in some builds. DOSBox-X will now
ensure a switch to window mode (or maximized window
mode) in this case. Also fixed some menu options
including rebooting DOSBox-X while Voodoo emulation
is currently active. (Wengier) - Fixed crash when switching to dynamic_rec core from
menu when dynamic_x86 is also available. Also fixed
the dynamic_rec core may not be displayed correctly
in the menu when a language file is used. (Wengier) - Fixed Windows resource information. (Wengier)
- Fixed a buffer overflow when launching a program.
(Jookia) - Fixed bug where DOS IOCTL would call device control
channel on devices which did not advertise support
for IOCTL. (cimarronm) - Clean up of DOS device and attribute flag usage
(cimarronm) - Integrated commits from mainline (Allofich)
- Use real pointer with font data for reading
characters. Also ignore page number for modes with
only one page.

0.83.24
- Release notes for this version:
https://dosbox-x.com/release-0.83.24.html - PC-98: Search for FONT.ROM in resources directory
in addition to the working directory. (bsdf) - Add S3 Vision964 and Vision968, based on existing
support for the Vision864/868 chips (rderooy). - APM BIOS: When the guest calls the APM BIOS to go
into suspend or standby mode, emulate a suspended
or standby mode. Spacebar resumes the guest machine.
Blank the display (if VGA/SVGA machine type) upon
suspend/standby and unblank upon leaving it.
(joncampbell123) - APM BIOS: Add dosbox-x.conf option to control
whether the power button triggers a suspend or
standby event. (joncampbell123) - APM BIOS: Add power button mapper event, tie
power button to APM BIOS, return power button as
APM suspend event, add code to APM BIOS to handle
suspend and resume events. Windows 98 no longer
complains about the inability to suspend or go to
standby. (joncampbell123) - APM BIOS: Limit debug logging of APM BIOS function
AH=05h (CPU IDLE) because Windows 98 likes to call
that function way too often. Once a millisecond, in
fact! The log spam makes it difficult to see
anything important scroll by while debugging.
(joncampbell123). - Revise S3 Trio64 XGA line drawing code to
add comments, and obey the "skip last pixel" bit
so that the Windows drivers can better draw polygon
line segments. This fixes broken XOR polylines in
Windows 3.1 and Microsoft Word 2.0. (joncampbell123) - Add S3 ViRGE accelerated XGA line drawing function.
Windows 3.1 through Windows 98 can now draw lines
with hardware acceleration. (joncampbell123) - Merge code to help preserve long filename when
older program writes/overwrites the 8.3 filename. - Change "fpu" config setting to an enumeration
that still accepts true and false, but now also
accepts auto, 287, and 387. It is now possible to
specify fpu=287 and cputype=386 to emulate a 386
paired with a 287 chip as is said to be how early
386 Compaq systems were wired, for example.
(joncampbell123) - 3Dfx Voodoo window is now resizable (inc. maximized
window) when using OpenGL mode, in addition to the
software mode. (MartyShepard, kekko, Wengier) - Menu options "CJK: Switch between DBCS/SBCS modes",
CJK: Auto-detect box-drawing characters", and "Reset
color scheme" (in "Video" -> "TTF options") are now
assignable in Mapper Editor. (Wengier) - The "colors" config setting now allows a leading
"+" character to stay the specified color scheme when
switching from another output. (Wengier) - SETCOLOR command allows a syntax like "SETCOLOR 1 +"
to return the specified color number to the preset
value (as specified by "colors" setting). (Wengier) - When using TTF output, DOSBox-X will dim the topmost
line when the window is inactive in full-screen or
menuless mode as in vDosPlus. (emendelson) - IMGMOUNT command now accepts wildcards, such as
"IMGMOUNT A disk*.img" to mount image files matching
the given pattern. (Wengier) - Added CuteMouse wheel mouse extension so that DOS
programs such as DOS Navigator 2 can make use of it.
It is enabled when mouse wheel movement conversion is
currently disabled. (FeralChild & Wengier) - Implemented basic support for VMware mouse protocol
so that when used together with e.g. the VMware mouse
driver for Windows 3.x, the mouse will be seamlessly
integrated with the host system, and can enter/exit
the DOSBox-X window without having to capture/release
the mouse. Config option "vmware" is added (in [dos]
section) which allows to disable VMware mouse guest
integration. (FeralChild, Wengier, joncampbell123) - When country number is not specified and cannot be
obtained from system, DOSBox-X will try to map the
keyboard layout to country number. The country list
is also extended. (Wengier & FeralChild) - Added "-nolog" command-line option to disable logging
output completely, and "Disable logging output" menu
option in "Debug" menu to toggle this. (Wengier) - Updated EGA?.CPX and KEYBOARD.SYS/KEYBRD?.SYS to the
latest version from FreeDOS. The CPX files now appear
in CPI directory of Z drive, which can be replaced by
files provided by the user. (FeralChild & Wengier) - Fix lockup when printing in dBase IV. (Wengier)
- Fix crash/restart when running Wing Commander with
EMS memory enabled. (grapeli) - Fix possible buffer overflow issue that may happen
in certain conditions. (maron2000) - Fix NewWadTool 1.3 unable to play music by ensuring
that periodic timer interrupt is triggered on every
cmos_timerevent. (cimarronm) - Fix handling of some DOS file I/O device drivers that
expect a pre-filled input-buffer on READ function and
also do not like to be called for every single byte
in that buffer may not work correctly. (leecher1337) - Fix FPU emulation to use 8087 FENI/FDISI behavior
when cputype=8086 or cputype=80186. (joncampbell123) - Fix FPU emulation to correctly emulate 80287 -/+inf
compare behavior even if compiled for x86 targets
where C_FPU_X86 uses the host FPU. (joncampbell123) - Fix audio speech stuttering issue in SpaceQuest 4
v1.3 using Sound Blaster. (grapeli & rderooy) - Fix issue with Lemmings palette swapping not working
properly. (maron20000 & grapeli) - Updated MT32emu to version 2.6.1. (maron20000)
- Updated DOSMID to version 0.9.6. (Wengier)
- Integrated commits from mainline (Allofich)
- Indicate in BIOS memory when keyboard ACK received.
Fixes Soko-ban Revenge. - Fix execution of small COM programs on PCjr machine
type.
- Indicate in BIOS memory when keyboard ACK received.
DOSBox-X 0.83.23 2022-02-28 22:32
For usage information please look at the DOSBox-X user guide, which is available from the DOSBox-X Wiki.
0.83.23
- Fixed XGA accelerated rendering for ViRGE emulation
and 24 bits/pixel display modes. Since Windows drivers
insist on 24bpp, this is necessary for
"Truecolor (24-bit)" to display and render correctly. - dosbox-x.conf option "vesa vbe 1.2 modes are 32bpp" is
now "true", "false" or "auto", where "auto" determines
this setting based on which S3 chipset is being
emulated. It seems the Windows drivers for ViRGE
chipsets require 24bpp for truecolor modes, in fact,
they do not even offer 32bpp as an option. Since
the Windows 3.1/95/98 drivers use VESA BIOS calls to
set video modes, this implies that the VESA BIOS on
ViRGE cards are also making the base modes 24bpp rather
than 32bpp. Note that the Windows drivers for older S3
chipsets are perfectly happy to use 32bpp unless you
select "16.7 million colors (1 Meg)" in Windows 3.1,
which is the only option in those drivers to offer
24bpp. To avoid grief with DOSBox-X users, "auto"
is the default setting. - Added basic S3 ViRGE XGA acceleration. It's enough for
90% of the GDI functions in Windows 3.1 so far. - Fixed S3 rectangle XGA accelerated pattern blit, when
using display memory as the pattern mask source, to
follow S3 Trio32/Trio64 documentation, instead of the
DOSBox SVN educated guess, to resolve some edge cases
where the wrong color is chosen to draw filled rectangles
in Windows 3.1. This fixes the "basement" in Microsoft
Creative Writer so that clicking around no longer leaves
white boxes on the screen. - Extend 256-color foreground/background color behavior
from S3 86c928 to Vision864 and Vision868 as Windows
95 behavior suggests they handle the hardware cursor
the same way in 256-color mode. - Extend "divide cursor X position by bytes per pixel"
behavior from S3 86c928 to Vision864 and Vision868
emulation as well, based on Windows 3.1 video driver
behavior. - Gravis Ultrasound: Most I/O registers except port 3x4
are intended for 8-bit I/O. If 16-bit I/O occurs to
such registers, handle as two 8-bit I/O cycles. I
found something in the Demoscene (1997 demo "Atlantis,
Deep Like A Sea") that uses a 16-bit I/O write to write
current channel and register select in one write.
Prior to this fix, there was no music other than quiet
popping noises in DOSBox-X. - Sound Blaster: Fixed DSP command 0x48 (Set DSP block
transfer size) to accept block size as BYTES as
standardized by Creative and convert to SAMPLES
internally. This fixes stuttering voices in Freddy
Pharkas when sbtype=sb16. (joncampbell123) - Avoid crashes due to assertion failure when media
keys are pressed (maron2000) - Fix CD audio playback failure (cue + mp3) when
trying to play from pregap sectors. (maron2000) - Change default value of mt32.rate to 48kHz to match
default value of mt32.analog option. (maron2000) - Fix a buffer overflow issue in dos.cpp (maron2000)
DOSBox-X 0.83.22 2022-01-31 23:31
For usage information please look at the DOSBox-X user guide, which is available from the DOSBox-X Wiki.
0.83.22
- Added Pentium 3 Processor Serial Number emulation.
Serial number can be set from dosbox-x.conf or not
set, in which case it will act as if disabled by the
BIOS. (joncampbell123). - Added Pentium III cputype, added SSE register set,
added SSE instructions to debugger disassembler,
added some initial SSE instructions. (joncampbell123) - Added some MSRs expected by Linux, Windows, and
tools like CPU-Z to make them happy. (joncampbell123) - Added FXSAVE/FXRSTOR which makes Linux happy with
Pentium III emulation. (joncampbell123) - Allow WRMSR to set time stamp counter, as it is known
though undocumented a standard since the Pentium
(joncampbell123). - Added debugger command to show global and per-voice
status of the Gravis Ultrasound emulation. May come
in handy for programmers who wish to write their own
GUS routines, and for Trixter who brought up the
subject of determining whether a program plays music
with the GUS or treats it like a dumb sound card.
(joncampbell123). - Added debugger command to show SSE register file, and
to set SSE register contents. (joncampbell123) - Added debugger command to show MMX register file, and
to set MMX register contents. (joncampbell123) - Added support for expressions within parenthesis in
debugger expression handling. (joncampbell123) - Added & (AND), ^ (XOR), and | (OR) operators, and
<< and >> bit shift operators to debugger expression
handling. (joncampbell123) - Added multiply (*) and divide (/) operators to debugger
expression handling. Order of operations applies, so
given mixed addition and multiplication, the multiply
is done first then the result is added. Also added
support for the modulo (%) operator to the debugger
expression handling. (joncampbell123) - Revised debugger expression handling to correctly
parse arithmetic operators with order of operations
in mind. Prior to this fix, consecutive subtraction
would cause seemingly illogical results, for example
"10-1-1-1" would yield "9" instead of "7" because
subtraction was handled in the wrong order. This fix
also makes mixed addition and subtraction possible.
NOTICE: Remember that all numbers going in and
coming out of the expression handler are hexadecimal,
NOT decimal! (joncampbell123) - Fixed simple expression handling in the debugger.
Revised hexadecimal vs register parsing so that
hexadecimal numbers that happen to start with
the name of certain CPU flag registers does not
cause confusing results. Prior to this fix,
hexadecimal numbers like "dfe" or "af0" were
impossible to enter without leading zeros or
quotes because the parser would confuse the
first digits with the DF and AF bits of the FLAGS
register. (joncampbell123) - Added menu options "AMD Athlon 600MHz" and "Pentium
III 866MHz EB" within the group "Emulate CPU speed"
(under "CPU") for CPU speeds to emulate. (Wengier) - Added support for archive, hidden, system attributes
on mounted local and overlay drives for non-Windows
platforms by using special file(s). (Wengier) - Added config option "special operation file prefix"
(in [dos] section) to speciay an alterantive file
prefix for DOSBox-X's special operations on mounted
local and overlay drives. (Wengier) - Added code page 3021 for the MIK character set used
by the Bulgarian language (as in FreeDOS). (Wengier) - Added language file for the Brazilian Portuguese,
available from Windows installer. (altiereslima) - For piping (|), DOSBox-X will now also try C: drive
as a temporary piping path if current directory is
read-only and the environment variable %TEMP% (or
%TMP%) is not set. (Wengier) - For clipboard copy, CR+LF will now be used instead
of LF on Windows for better compatibility. (Wengier) - Disk images are automatically mounted as read-only
(instead of failing) now if the image files are
read-only and the users do not explicitly specify
read-only mode for the disk images. (Wengier) - The default value of config option "autofixwarning"
(in [dos] section) is now "false", and it is now
changeable via CONFIG command. (Wengier) - The default output for Linux SDL1 builds is changed
from opengl to surface, unlike Linux SDL2 builds
whose default output remains opengl. (Wengier) - Native Windows menus is supported in Windows SDL2
builds just like Windows SDL1 builds. It is possible
to force SDL-drawn menus for both Windows SDL1 and
SDL2 builds at compile time. (Wengier) - Setting "windowposition" to "-" in the configuration
will leave DOSBox-X window position as is instead of
a specific position or being centered. (Wengier) - For printing, the SarasaGothicFixed TTF font will
also be searched for DBCS code pages. (Wengier) - Added config option "showdbcsnodosv" (in the [dosv]
section) which when set to true enables rendering of
Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters for DBCS code
pages in non-DOS/V, non-PC98, and non-TTF mode.
Video capturing started from TTF output will enable
DBCS characters when possible. (Wengier) - Changing DBCS code pages is supported for standard
modes (i.e. non-DOS/V, non-PC98 and non-TTF modes)
using CHCP command. (Wengier) - Fixed issues with certain DBCS characters for the
DOS/V system. (Wengier) - Fixed slow blinking text in TTF output. (Wengier)
- Fixed copying box drawing characters to clipboard
not working in non-TTF JEGA mode. (Wengier) - Fixed background for the Configuration Tool when
the TTF output is active. (Wengier) - Fixed DBCS characters not showing up when capturing
screenshots in TTF CJK mode, or they do not show up
properly in the Configuration Tool when "autodbcs"
is set to "false" in the configuration. (Wengier) - Fixed media keys presses by ignoring these keys in
Windows SDL1 builds. (maron2000) - Fixed IOCTL & ASPI interfaces for mounting physical
CD drives on the Windows platform. (Wengier) - Fixed the issue of loading scalers in the previous
version. A message box will only show up if you
append "prompt" to the scaler option. (Wengier)

0.83.21
- Release notes for this version:
https://dosbox-x.com/release-0.83.21.html - Improved clipboard copying & pasting for different
code pages including box-drawing characters in DBCS
code pages. Also, for the J-3100 mode, the selected
text will now be highlighted when you try to select
text for copying. (Wengier) - Improved IME support for Chinese/Japanese/Korean
languages on Windows builds. (Wengier) - Pausing the emulation will automatically release
the mouse and prevent mouse capture. (Wengier) - For Configuration Tool, a "..." button is added to
properties which have limited numbers of values so
that when clicking their possible values will be
shown in a new dialog and can be selected directly.
Also, more settings will be applied immediately when
modified from the Configuration Tool. (Wengier) - For Windows SDL1 builds, DOSBox-X will now try to
prevent the Windows menus from separating into more
than one lines due to small window width. (Wengier) - If a scaler as specified in the config may not work
as expected and if not forced, DOSBox-X will show a
a message box asking whether to load it. (Wengier) - Config option "pixelshader" now allows a shader file
name without the .fx extension, or a shader file in
the current directory. (Wengier) - Added support for ENET reliable UDP as an option for
modem and null-modem emulation. You can enable it
with "sock:1" option for modems/null-modems that are
connected with serial ports (COM1-COM9), such as
"serial1=modem listenport:5000 sock:1" for COM1 to
listen to port 5000 with reliable ENET UDP instead
of TCP connection. The feature is ported from DOSBox
Staging. (sduensin, GranMinigun, kcgen, Wengier) - Added new command-line option "-o" for providing
command-line option(s) if programs(s) are specified
to start when you launch DOSBox-X. An example:
dosbox-x program.exe -o "opt1 opt2". (Wengier) - Added special properties to CONFIG command including
"cd", "date", "errorlevel", "random", "time", and
"lastmount" so that commands like "CONFIG -GET cd"
and "CONFIG -GET errorlevel" will get current DOS
directory and ERRORLEVEL value. The returned value
will also be saved to %CONFIG% variable. (Wengier) - Added "Enter Debugger Command" button to "DOSBox-X
logging output" and "Code overview" windows (from
"Debug" menu") for users to enter some debugger
command(s) and see the result. (Wengier) - Added debugger commands DATE and TIME to view or
change DOSBox-X's internal date and time, using the
same date and time formats as the shell DATE and
TIME commands, e.g. "TIME 10:11:12". (Wengier) - Added config option "badcommandhandler" (in [dos]
section) which allows to specify a custom error
handler program before error message "Bad command
or file name" shows up in the DOS shell. (Wengier) - Added config option "stop turbo on key" (in [cpu]
section) which allows to automatically stop the
Turbo (fast forward) mode when a keyboard input
has been detected. (Wengier) - Added config option "fat32setversion" (in [dos]
section) which controls whether DOSBox-X should
automatically set reported DOS version to 7.0/7.10
when it's less than 7.0/7.10 and mounting LBA/FAT32
disk images is requested. It defaults to "ask" so
that DOSBox-X will ask in this case. (Wengier) - Added config option "j3100colorscroll" (in [dosv]
section) which defaults to "false" and allows the
J-3100 version of SimCity and VGA version of the
Toshiba Windows 3.1 to run, whereas CGA/EGA version
of the latter requires a "true" setting. (nanshiki) - Added config options (in "ethernet, slirp" section)
"tcp_port_forwards" and "udp_port_forwards" for port
forwarding when using the Slirp backend. (kcgen) - Added code pages 737 (Greek) and 775 (Baltic) for
the guest-to-host code page conversions. (Wengier) - Added UTF8 and UTF16 commands to convert UTF-8 and
UTF-16 text to view in the current code page. For
example, the command "UTF8 < UTF8TEXT.TXT" will
output converted text UTF8TEXT.TXT in the current
code page, and for UTF16 command there are optional
/BE & /LE options to specify endianness. (Wengier) - Added support for DBCS characters located in UNC
network paths of the form \COMPUTER\FOLDER\FILE
on the Windows platform. (Wengier) - Added hidden code page 951 for Big5-HKSCS encoding
or Big5 Unicode-At-On (Big5-UAO) encoding. Config
option "uao" is added in [ttf] section so that if
set to "true" code page 951 will use the Big5-UAO
encoding instead of the Big-HKSCS encoding, the
latter being the default for CP951. If ChinaSea is
enabled, ChinaSea characters will be used instead
of original characters in these encodings. (Wengier) - Added -nl option for MOUNT command to automatically
find the next available drive letter to mount if
the specified drive is already mounted. This allows
multiple directories to be mounted when DOSBox-X
starts with multiple [name] arguments. (Wengier) - Added HISTORY command to display or clear command-
line history for the internal DOS shell. (Wengier) - Added ASSOC command to view/change file extension
associations. You can define a command or program
to open a file with a specific file extension, e.g.
"assoc .txt=edit" to open .TXT files with the EDIT
command when entering the .TXT file name from the
DOS command line. Wildcards are allowed, such as
"assoc .*=dir", although in such case exceptions
including "assoc .com=com", "assoc .exe=exe", and
"assoc .bat=bat" are probably desired. (Wengier) - Commands CHOICE and COUNTRY are external commands
that appear on the Z drive (Z:/DOS/CHOICE.COM and
Z:/SYSTEM/COUNTRY.COM respectively) now rather than
internal shell commands. COUNTRY command now also
affects thousand and decimal separators. (Wengier) - The internal Virtual Drive Z: can now be rescanned
just like mounted local drives. (Wengier) - You can now change most config options in [printer]
section of the configuration for the virtual printer
with CONFIG -set commands. (Wengier) - Added missing ChinaSea characters in code page 950
with ChinaSea/Big5-2003 extension enabled. (Wengier) - Added support for Bash-shell completion for DOSBox-X
on non-Windows platforms. (rderooy & FeignInt) - Improved DBCS support for DOS commands including
ATTRIB, ECHO, TYPE, MORE, and TRUENAME. (Wengier) - Improved checking of segment limits. (joncampbell123)
- Mac OS X builds from now on will use an in-tree tool
to replace dylib references in all executable files.
XCode install_name_tool is no longer used, it became
a hypocondriac and is sitting in the corner screaming
about link edit data that doesn't fill a __LINKEDIT
segment. It is once again possible to make Mac OS X
ARM releases and to use dylib files from Brew doing
so. (joncampbell123) - Fix IPL1 partition choice debug message to actually
show the partition index chosen, not the -partidx
option variable, which if not given by the user, is
-1 and was reported as a very large unsigned
number. (joncampbell123) - Fixed command-line options -starttool & -startmapper
not showing messages from specified language file
for Configuration Tool and Mapper Editor. (Wengier) - Fixed an issue with RENDER_Reset function while
loading previously saved states. (yetmorecode) - Fixed E_Exit "RET from illegal descriptor type 0"
when running DirectX diagnostic program (dxdiag)
from a guest Windows 98 system. (Wengier) - Fixed "parallel?=file openwith:xxx" not working if
a file name is not provided. (Wengier) - Fixed crash in the following config combination:
output=ttf, machine=pc98, dosvfunc=true. (Wengier) - Fixed Disney sound source connecting to parallel
port not working in the previous version. (Wengier) - Fixed NET command from Windows for Workgroups 3.11
not working from the internal DOS shell. (Wengier) - Fixed MODE command options like "rate" and "delay"
not working if entered in upper cases. (Wengier) - Fixed command-line parameters (when launching
DOSBox-X) containing Chinese characters in code page
950 not working in Windows SDL2 builds. (Wengier) - Integrated commits from mainline (Allofich)
- Improve BIOS FDD motor timeout counter, most
notably for earlier PCs. Fixes a Chinese variant
of Space Harrier.
- Improve BIOS FDD motor timeout counter, most

0.83.20
- Release notes for this version:
https://dosbox-x.com/release-0.83.20.html - Implemented support for Pentium II cputype (with
the setting "cputype=pentium_ii" in [cpu] section),
and added Pentium II SYSENTER/SYSEXIT instructions
to normal core and debugger disassembler. The two
instructions are supported for Pentium II cputype.
CPUID for Pentium II will now report stepping 3 and
model 3 which is a minimum requirement for OSes to
attempt to use SYSENTER/SYSEXIT. Silencing for
RDMSR/WRMSR and SYSENTER/SYSEXIT debug messages is
removed while CPU "debug spew" is silenced by
default. MSRs related to Intel microcode are added
because both Linux and Windows ME probe those MSRs
if Pentium II emulation reports stepping 3 model 3.
The microcode MSRs are silently ignored. Moreover,
the MSR register 0x0000001B has been added to
Pentium II emulation. DOSBox-X does not emulate a
local APIC but Windows ME assumes that MSR is
present and reads/writes it on startup if DOSBox-X
reports itself as a Pentium II. (joncampbell123) - Added support for DCGA and Toshiba J-3100 emulation
modes by importing code from DOSVAXJ3 by nanshiki.
The J-3100 emulation mode can be enabled with the
option "dosv=jp" along with a non-off setting of
"j3100" option in [dosv] section. For example, with
"j3100=on" or "j3100=auto" (and "dosv=jp") J-3100
system will be enabled and activated at start. With
"j3100=manual" (and "dosv=jp") J-3100 system will
be enabled and not activated at start, but there is
now a DCGA command to enter DCGA (either English or
J-3100 DCGA, depending on if J-3100 is enabled)
mode from other video modes. (nanshiki & Wengier) - Added support for unit tests based on Google Test
framework (gTest/gMock) to ensure code stability.
Unit tests can be started with command-line option
"-tests" in the debug builds. Some unit tests are
ported from DOSBox Staging. (Wengier) - Added SERIAL and PARALLEL commands to view/change
the current configuration of serial/parallel ports.
Type "SERIAL /?" and "PARALLEL /?" for further info
about the two commands. Commands like "config -set
serial?=..." and "config -set parallel?=..." will
also auto-call these commands. (sduensin & Wengier) - Added IMGSWAP command to swap disks for drives.
e.g. "IMGSWAP D" to swap D: drive to the next swap
position, and "IMGSWAP A 3" to swap A: drive to
the 3nd swap position. (Wengier) - Added DOS commands including COMP, DISKCOPY, EDLIN,
FC, FILES, PRINT, and SHUTDOWN (most from FreeDOS)
to the built-in Z: drive. Updated or recompiled
EDIT and EDLIN commands to support LFNs. (Wengier) - The CAPMOUSE command without a parameter now shows
whether the mouse is captured/released. (Wengier) - The command "config -set" is now case-insensitive
for property names. Also, if an option cannot be
changed at run-time, DOSBox-X will ask whether to
restart itself to apply the new setting. (Wengier) - Do not read real-mode data areas from mouse event
handling if running a protected mode guest OS like
Windows NT, and disable INT 33h functions when DOS
kernel is shut down to boot into a guest OS. Moving
mouse while Windows NT is running should no longer
cause page faults and crashes. (joncampbell123) - The setting "mountwarning = false" will now silence
more warning messages during mounting. (Wengier) - The code page setting of "country" option will now
be ignored for PC-98, JEGA and DOS/V modes. These
modes will enforce the desired code page. (Wengier) - Added support for loading the ASC16/ASCFONT.15/
ASC24/ASCFONT.24? font files from the UCDOS/ETen
Chinese DOS systems for the options "fontxsbcs",
"fontxsbcs16" and "fontxdbcs24" in [dosv] section
of the config file for DOS/V systems. (Wengier) - Improved auto-detection of box-drawing characters
when using DBCS code pages. (Wengier) - Applied UTF-8 conversions to file browse dialog
boxes for selecting files containing Unicode
characters (e.g. CJK characters). (Wengier) - For screenshot and MIDI/OPL recording, DOSBox-X
will now display a message box showing the saved
file name when the recording has been completed.
The full paths will also be logged. (Wengier) - Added confirmation message while trying to load a
Direct3D pixel shader which may not be needed or
may have undesired effect. (Wengier) - Added warning message if DOS/V or Japanese PC-98/AX
machine type is selected and a language file with
an incompatible code page is specified. (Wengier) - Added "AMD K6 166 MHz", "AMD K6 200 MHz" and "AMD
K6-2 300 MHz" menu options within the menu group
"Emulate CPU speed" (under "CPU"). (Wengier) - Added a TrueType font selection page into Windows
installer, which will show when TrueType font (TTF)
output is selected for new installations. (Wengier) - Added MMX instruction PSHUFW and added typecasts
to some MMX instructions in case compilers cannot
properly shift uint64_t by uint8_t otherwise. Most
Pentium-level MMX instructions (such as MOVD, MOVQ,
and EMMS) are added to the debugger disassembler
and support for the disassembler to represent MMX
registers. (joncampbell123) - Added code to normal core to flush paging TLB
whenever handing a non-recursive guest page fault.
The guest OS will likely update the page tables
to resolve the fault. The Linux kernel will
constantly get "stuck" whenever you run a command
without this change. (joncampbell123) - Added code to make sure DOS kernel drives and drive
letters have been unmounted and deallocated before
booting a guest OS or shutting down DOSBox-X
(joncampbell123). - Added ability to change floppy images with drive
number (0 or 1) only. (Wengier) - Added INT 13h AH=16h, detect disk change. This can
be controlled by config option "int 13 disk change
detect" (in [dos] section) in case any older OS can
not handle it. INT 13h AH=15h will report a floppy
drive with change line support if enabled. MS-DOS
seems to work just fine with it. (joncampbell123) - Added menu item "Enable extended Chinese character
set" in "Video" => "TTF options" to toggle setting
for the Simplified Chinese (GBK extension) and
Traditional Chinese (ChinaSea extension). (Wengier) - Added config option "chinasea" (in [ttf] section)
which when set to "true" allows ChinaSea (δΈεζ΅·ει)
and Big5-2003 extension of the original Big5-1984
charset for Traditional Chinese TTF output. This
requires the use of a TTF/OTF font containing such
extended characters to correctly render them; the
included SarasaGothicFixed TTF font is updated to
support such characters.Certain Traditional Chinese
DOS software like the Hyper Editor 5.03 (ζΌ’ζΈ5) makes
use of ChinaSea characters. Also moved "gbk" config
option from [dosv] to [ttf] section. (Wengier) - Added config option "forcesquarecorner" (in [sdl]
section) which when set to "true" will force to
disable rounded corners on Windows 11. (Wengier) - Added code to INT 18h emulation (IBM PC mode) to
jump to ROM BASIC if the user provided an IBM
ROM BASIC image to load. (joncampbell123) - Added config option "ibm rom basic" in [dosbox]
section which allows users to load a ROM image
containing IBM PC ROM BASIC, for disk images
and MS-DOS setups that need it. (joncampbell123) - Added stub IBM ROM BASIC points in the BIOS area
so that when BASIC(A).COM from MS-DOS 1.x and 2.x
are run, a polite message is displayed instead of
invalid code and crashes. (joncampbell123) - 8086 and 80186 CPU types no longer check segment
limits. (joncampbell123 & Allofich) - Put in undocumented behavior in opcode 0x8e for
8086 and 80186. (Allofich) - Made 8086 treat opcodes C0,C1,C8,C9,F1 as aliases
of C2,C3,CA,CB,F0, and opcodes 0x60-0x6F as aliases
of opcodes 0x70-0x7F. (Allofich) - Adjusted multiple-prefix bug for 8086/286 to only
apply when REP or REPZ is used. (Allofich) - Fixed 0x0F opcode being valid on 80186 core when
it should be invalid. (Allofich) - Fixed CGA modes to always use a character height
of 8, rather than reading it from address 485h.
Fixes corrupt graphics in the PC Booter version
of Apple Panic. (Allofich) - Fixed underflow when INT 13 AH=2 called for
sector 0. (Allofich) - Fixed infinite loop when trying to run a 32-bit
program with the 8086 CPU type. (Allofich) - Fixed INT 13h emulation to no longer call the DOS
kernel "DriveManager" if the DOS kernel has been
shutdown. This fixes memory corruption issues in
the guest OS system run by the BOOT command that
can occur when the "swap disks" command is used in
the emulator. (joncampbell123) - Fixed DTA memory leak from FAT driver if FAT drive
was mounted when booting into a guest OS. (joncampbell123) - Fixed a crash on unmount that occurs if IMGMOUNT
is used to mount multiple floppy disk images to
a drive letter. (joncampbell123) - Fixed possible crash with printing. (jamesbond3142)

DOSBox-X 0.83.19 2021-11-01 10:33
Note: Installation instructions are available from the INSTALL page. Also, always check out the DOSBox-X homepage for latest updates.
You can also see the release notes here: DOSBox-X 0.83.19 Release Notes and the user guide here: DOSBox-X Wiki
For this version, 32/64-bit MinGW builds are included in the Windows installers and not separately available.
0.83.19
- Reorganized the "List network interfaces" and "List
printer devices" dialogs (under the "Help" menu) to
allow the use of scroll bars. (Wengier) - Added menu option "Reset TTF color scheme" to reset
the current color scheme for TTF output. (Wengier) - Added config option "righttoleft" in [TTF] section
which when set to "true" will cause DOSBox-X to
display text from right to left (instead of left to
right) for the TTF output. It can also be toggled
from the menu ("Video" => "TTF options" => "Display
text from right to left"). (Wengier) - Added config option "vga fill active memory" which
when set to "true" will fill inactive video memory
regions with RAM rather than mapping them as empty.
This allows the ETen Chinese DOS system (ε倩δΈζη³»η΅±)
3.5/2000 (e.g. ET16V and ET24VA) to run. (Wengier) - Added config option "middle_unlock" ([sdl] section)
to control whether to unlock the mouse with middle
mouse button click. (Wengier) - Added config option "dosvfunc" in [ttf] section to
support DOS/V applications when country information
is set to Japan in TTF output. (nanshiki) - Added "VTEXT" command to view or change the current
V-text mode for the DOS/V emulation. Also improved
the font support for 24-pixel font DOS/V mode, such
as supporting HZK24? fonts for Simplified Chinese
DOS/V mode and STDFONT.24 from ETen Chinese system
for Traditional Chinese DOS/V mode. If a Chinese
font is specified via "fontxdbcs", "fontxdbcs14" or
"fontxdbcs24" options, it will be loaded before
system font even with "getsysfont=true". (Wengier) - Commands like 80x25, 80x43, ... now use internal
function for better compatibility with the TrueType
font (TTF) output. (Wengier) - MODE command without a parameter will now print the
current lines/columns instead of usage. (Wengier) - INTVEC debugger command now correctly outputs
addresses when in protected mode. (Allofich) - Fix horizontal lines in the debugger window being
rendered as unrelated characters in some code
pages. (Allofich) - INT 21 AX=4B03 now sets AX to 0000 like MS-DOS
does. Fixes missing music in "θι½θͺη°δΉεΉ½θ°·ε³ε₯"
(LiΓ‘ozhΔi zhΓ¬ yΓ¬ zhΔ« yΕugΗ chuΓ‘nqΓ) (Allofich) - Use 0x1E to 0x3E for the keyboard buffer of the CGA
machine, which fixes the controls locking up in the
PC booter version of Apple Panic. (Allofich) - Allowed machine types "pcjr_composite" and
"pcjr_composite2", similar to "cga_composite" and
"cga_composite2", instead of having to switch the
composite type manually. (Wengier) - If machine is PCjr, place PC BIOS reset code at
F000:0043 to match that of the real BIOS. - Fix PCjr NMI handler to load DS with segment 0x0040.
Fixes crashes in SHAMUS. (Allofich) - Fix PCjr NMI handler to use 8086-level instructions
when loading DS with segment 0x0040 so that it
works properly with cputype=8086. - Remove useless check for signed divide quotient
of 0x80/0x8000/etc. (the result was -0x80/0x8000/etc
anyway. Add code to check specifically for these
values after signed divide if cputype=8086 and
trigger divide overflow exception, to match behavior
described for the 8086 processor. - Modify exception handling so that for cputype=8086
the return address for an exception handler points
at instruction after fault location. - Fix IDIV instruction incorrectly raising a divide
error exception for some borderline values. Fixes
Microsoft Flight Simulator. (Allofich) - IBM PC BIOS emulation fixed to place key pieces of
code and entry points at fixed legacy locations
required by some older DOS games, instead of
by dynamic allocation. Added code to BIOS allocation
to reserve F000:E000 or higher for fixed allocation
and force dynamic allocation below that address to
prevent further conflicts should others submit
pull requests for additional fixed locations. This
fixes some games like "θι½θͺη°δΉεΉ½θ°·ε³ε₯" (LiΓ‘ozhΔi
zhΓ¬ yΓ¬ zhΔ« yΕugΗ chuΓ‘nqΓ) which appear to assume
some of these fixed BIOS addresses and will
crash if they are wrong. - Added tool EMSMAGIC.COM as alternative EMS manager,
which can be dynamically installed or uninstalled
with the setting ems=false. (Wengier) - If a program is provided in the command-line when
launching DOSBox-X, it will now be executed after
any commands in the [autoexec] section by default.
A command-line option "-prerun" is added to force
the program run before any commands in [autoexec]
section like before. (Wengier) - Added auto-detection for single-wide DBCS-encoded
characters for the TTF output (non-PC98). (Wengier) - Improved the menu option "Restart DOSBox-X with
language file..." (under "Main") for switching
between DBCS languages. (Wengier) - Disabled the Alt+F4 key for closing the DOSBox-X
window in MinGW SDL2 builds. (Wengier) - Fixed program or config file containing Unicode
characters passed from command-line when launching
DOSBox-X in Windows SDL2 builds. (Wengier) - Fixed issue with DELETE key in PC-98 mode. (Wengier)
- Fixed COLORS config option (in [ttf] section) not
working in the previous version. (Wengier) - Fixed issues after resetting the virtual machine
when using DBCS language files. (Wengier) - Fixed some issues related to system IME support for
CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) languages, for both
Windows SDL1 and SDL2 builds. (nanshiki & Wengier) - Fixed bugs in the region memory allocator C++ class
that claimed the entire free block even if the
size wanted was smaller. Added field to remember if
the allocated block was allocated for fixed or
dynamically allocated memory. Cleaned up allocator
code and removed redundancy. - Fix SELINFO command not showing output correctly
in the debugger window. (Allofich) - Better CMOS register B and C emulation. (Allofich)
- Integrated commits from mainline (Allofich)
- Support for DMF floppy disk images.
- Zero-out DX in EXEC overlay command.
- Improve stack check for wrap-around cases.
- Change to misc_output for SVGA_S3Trio.

0.83.18
- Cleaned up and more accurately worded CMOS-related
log messages. (Allofich) - Fixed the names of virtual files and files on mounted
FAT drive images being logged as "(null)". (Allofich) - Fixed packed structure alignment problem with MSVC
(Microsoft C++) builds regarding some disk image
formats. These problems prevented VS2019 builds from
mounting hard disk images. (Allofich) - REP STOSB will correctly move one byte if one byte
remains to be processed aka CX == 1, this is needed
for FD98.COM self clearing code to work properly. (nanshiki) - Fixed IOCTL support for character device drivers. (nanshiki)
- Fixed ANSI ESC [6n escape handling to correctly
report cursor position as 1-based count, not 0-based
count. (nanshiki) - PC-98 INT DCh emulation fixed to better represent the
function key shortcuts as real DOS does. (nanshiki) - Emulator fix for HX-DOS builds. (Wengier)
- Integrated commits from mainline (Allofich)
- Fix the return value of register al from INT10 ah=0x0F
for non EGA/VGA machines.

0.83.17
- Added FISTTP instruction to experimental cputype (LBi)
- Updated debugger to support and decode fisttp, fcomi,
fcomip, fucomi, fucomip (LBi) - Added support for Chinese/Japanese/Korean IMEs on
Windows/Linux SDL2 builds. (nanshiki) - Added cputype=experimental, which is the same as the
highest CPU emulation level but with additional
instructions from newer processors that do not exist
in the era emulated by DOSBox-X i.e. FISTTP which is
an SSE3 Pentium 4 instruction. (joncampbell123) - Added support for 286/386 call gates to JMP
instruction (joncampbell123) - Added -bd option to IMGMOUNT to allow mounting
partitions from a hard disk image mounted as an
INT 13h hard disk. is the numeric value the
hard disk image was mounted to. In this way, it
becomes possible to mount any or all partitions
in a hard disk image. WARNING: To safely mount
multiple partitions, use -o partidx= to specify
each partition you mount by index. (joncampbell123) - If a drive has no volume label, and user runs
LABEL without specifying one, do not ask whether
or not to delete the volume label because there
is in fact no volume label to delete. (joncampbell123) - Added FreeDOS utilities DEFRAG, FORMAT, FDISK,
CHKDSK, and SYS to the built-in Z drive. KERNEL.SYS
is not provided so that the user can provide what
they consider the best version of the FreeDOS kernel
to format with if they use FORMAT /S (joncampbell123) - INT 29h routes output through ANSI.SYS driver in
both IBM PC and PC-98 mode, unless ansi.sys=false
is set in the config setting. (joncampbell123) - Integrated commits from mainline (Allofich)
- Fix regression in r4444: Hercules machine type
cursor translation. - Remove redundant signature for ET4K that is now
done in video BIOS. - Implement mouse driver function 0x27, fixes
Alive - Behind the Moon. - Add log message for unusual cases where an
executable unsafely places its initial stack outside
the memory block.
- Fix regression in r4444: Hercules machine type
DOSBox-X 0.83.16 2021-08-01 15:23
Note: Installation instructions are available from the INSTALL page. Also, always check out the DOSBox-X homepage for latest updates.
For usage information please look at the DOSBox-X user guide, which is available from the DOSBox-X Wiki.
Note: For this version please use the 32-bit Visual Studio builds for running under Windows XP.
0.83.16
- Release notes for this version:
https://dosbox-x.com/release-0.83.16.html - Added support for extended MS-DOS partitions that
reside in extended partitions. These partitions
can be manually mounted using -o partidx=n where
n is 4 or larger. To assist in partition indexes,
the FAT driver will also print the partition
table to your log file and console when asked to
print debug information. (joncampbell123) - Added dosbox-x.conf options to control VESA BIOS
window size and window granularity. This allows
DOS development to test VESA BIOS support against
SVGA cards that use window sizes and/or window
granularity other than 64KB including older SVGA
hardware by Paradise and Cirrus. Note that use
of these options is intended solely for DOS
development and will break S3 drivers that do not
use the VESA BIOS extensions. (joncampbell123) - Fixed VESA BIOS S3 modelist to match the VBE 1.2
standard modelist properly, including the addition
of modes 0x119-0x11B. (joncampbell123) - Added machine=vesa_oldvbe10 to emulate a VESA
BIOS that follows version 1.0 of the standard.
Specifically, in version 1.0, mode information
like XResolution was OPTIONAL and the VESA BIOS
was allowed not to fill it in since you could
assume the information from the standard video
mode number you applied. This setting emulates
a VESA BIOS that does NOT provide this information,
for testing purposes. Also, machine=vesa_oldvbe is
fixed to never report a LFB, since that was not yet
defined for VBE 1.2. (joncampbell123) - Reorganized Windows installation to 2 installers
installing 32-bit and 64-bit DOSBox-X binaries,
for WinXP+ (all) and Vista+ 64-bit respectively,
reducing the sizes of installers significantly
while adding the SarasaGothicFixed TTF font and
a language selection page for choosing existing
language translations (with new language files
for French and Traditional Chinese). (Wengier) - DOSBox-X will now search for more paths (such as
user config directory and "languages" subfolder)
for loading language files before failing, and
on Linux and macOS platforms will also search for
additional directories such as /Library/Fonts/
(Linux) or /Library/Fonts/ (macOS) for TrueType
fonts when using the TTF output. (Wengier) - DOSBox-X will try to load the SarasaGothicFixed
TTF font when no external TTF font is specified
and a CJK code page detected at start. (Wengier) - Added Shift+Tab shortcut in Debugger to switch to
previous window complimenting existing function of
Tab switching to the next window. (cimarronm) - LH/LOADHIGH command can now load programs into UMB
memory if it is available. Also added "shellhigh"
config option to decide whether to load builtin
command shell to UMB memory (with default setting
of "auto", it is enabled if reported DOS version
is at least 7, similar to MS-DOS 7+). (cimarronm) - HELP command is now an external command appearing
on Z drive rather than an internal shell command
(it is never a DOS internal command). (Wengier) - Command-line options -eraseconf and -erasemapper
will now erase loaded config file and mapper file
respectively and continue, whereas -resetconf and
-resetmapper will erase user config file or user
mapper file and exit as before. (Wengier) - Added menu group "3dfx" in "Video" menu to toggle
the low-level Voodoo card emulation and high-level
Glide emulation at run-time. (Wengier) - Added menu options "Restart DOSBox-X instance" and
"Restart DOSBox-X with language file" in "Main"
menu to reboot the current DOSBox-X instance or
reboot the DOSBox-X instance with the specified
language file automatically. (Wengier) - Added menu options "Show code overview" and "Show
logging text" in "Debug" menu to show the overview
of the current code and the output of DOSBox-X's
current logging text in debug builds. (Wengier) - Added config option "customcodepage" in the [dos]
section to allow a custom code page, in the format
"customcodepage=nnn,codepagefile" in TrueType font
(TTF) output. CHCP command also supports additional
parameter to specify a code page file. Also added
builtin support for code pages 1250-1258. (Wengier) - Added config option "transparency" in [sdl] section
to change the DOSBox-X window transparency (from 0
to 90, low to high transparency) on the Linux/macOS
SDL2 and Windows platforms. (Wengier) - Added config option "hidenonpresentable" in [dos]
section to toggle whether to filter out file names
on local drives that are non-representative in
current code page. (Wengier) - Added config options "pc-98 try font rom" and
"pc-98 anex86 font" for the PC-98 emulation to
customize the font file to load. If former option
is set to "false", then DOSbox-X will not try to
load FONT.ROM first for PC-98, and latter option
specifies an Anex86-compatible font to load for
PC-98 (before trying FREECG98.BMP). (Wengier) - Added support for composite support for PCjr mode
by porting patch from NewRisingSun. (Wengier) - Non-Japanese DOS/V systems will now use 19-pixel
VGA fonts rather than 16-pixel VGA fonts for SBCS
characters to look better. (Wengier) - You can now also load HZK14/HZK16 font files (for
14- and 16-pixel height) and STDFONT.15 font file
via the "fontxdbcs" and "fontxdbcs14" options for
Simplified Chinese DOS/V (dosv=cn) and Traditional
Chinese DOS/V (dosv=tw) emulations. (Wengier) - Improved the DOS/V font acquisition function on
the Linux platform (both SDL1 & SDL2), such as
adding support for 14-pixel height fonts (used by
Configuration Tool & Mapper Editor), and enhancing
support for Chinese characters acquisition (e.g.
WenQuanYi support for the Traditional Chinese). A
config option "getsysfont" is added which when set
to "false" will disable the font acquisition on
Windows and Linux platforms. (Wengier & nanshiki) - Implemented support for inputing CJK characters
on Linux SDL1 builds using Linux system IMEs. Code
imported from SDL-IM-plus by nanshiki and confirmed
to work on Linux/X11 platform by him. - Added support for inputing Japanese and Korean
characters using system input method (IME) using
the default "windib" video driver in Windows SDL1
build (in addition to "directx" driver). (nanshiki) - Fixed CJK characters not showing correctly for the
SDL-drawn menu with OpenGL outputs if "language"
config option is used instead of -lang command-line
option. Thank nanshiki for catching this. (Wengier) - Fixed setting "machine=amstrad" cause DOSBox-X to
crash on non-Windows platforms. (cimarronm) - Fixed bug related to DBCS vector table. (nanshiki)
- Fixed running e.g. built-in DEBUG command from a
drive other than Z may not work. (cimarronm) - Fixed the command "FOR %I ..." not working when
executed from the command line. (Wengier) - For audio/video recording, DOSBox-X will display
a message box showing the saved file name when the
recording has been completed. (Wengier) - Mapper Editor will try to show the actual mod keys
for mod1/mod2/mod3 when clicked. (Wengier) - Removed the special DOS function at Int21h/AH=2B/
CX=0x4442h/DX=0x2D58h in favor of the DOSBox-X
Integration Device at I/O ports 28h-2Bh which works
for both integrated DOS and guest OS environments. - Enabled MT-32 emulation on ARM-based Mac OS X
builds (joncampbell123) - For Configuration Tool, ensure mouse coordinates
are adjusted accordingly with forced scaler. (aybe) - Fixed a bug in the Int21/AH=36h (get disk space)
function for returning very large CX values, and
that non-zero values are returned when the free
space is 0 on mounted local drives. (Wengier) - Fixed "FILES" always fixed to 200 as reported by
the "DOSINFO" tool, in spite of "files" setting in
[config] section of the config file. (Wengier) - Refined the handling of international keyboards and
fixed some issues in version 0.83.15. (maron2000) - Fixed initialization order that prevented Bochs
port E9h emulation from working. (joncampbell123) - Fixed menu options in system menu not working in
Windows SDL1 builds with "windib" driver. (Wengier) - Fixed issue that the mouse cursor not showing in
the game "Power Dolls". (Wengier) - Fixed non-English accents may not show correctly
with a SBCS code page in TrueType Font (TTF) output
(introduced in version 0.83.15). (Wengier) - Fixed line endings for SBCS language files such as
