Prerequisites

86Box requires ROM files in order to operate, which can be downloaded here: https://tinyurl.com/rs20191022 (extract the ZIP file to the same directory as 86Box.exe)

It is also recommended to use the 86Box Manager to manage virtual machines, although it is possible to use the emulator on its own, using the -P/--vmpath command line option.

Which ZIP should I download?

  • 86Box is the standard build. Download this if you don't know which one to choose.
  • 86Box-Debug includes debug symbols. If you don't need them, you generally don't need to use this build.
  • 86Box-Optimized are optimized builds for most modern CPU architectures. See our CPU architectures table to see which build you should download. Using the wrong binary may result in crashes.
