WARNING

  • You now need the latest version of your Linux distribution or at least Windows 10 to get official support for this release.

Changes compared to v1.2.2.5512

  • As always, EmuGUI 2.0 receives another codename, in this case "Ioana Rosa".
  • An architecture list in the main window and its usage made the number of used initialisation code shrink. The old code has been commented out.
  • The same optimisation efforts have been applied to the code which changes the settings and the code which starts VMs.
  • The old feature list has been updated.
  • Even though the Additional Hardware Selection Plug-In System (AHSPIS) still has to be made, I started working on JSON plug-ins for x86, PowerPC and ARM machines which are planned to be included with EmuGUI anyway.
  • The copyright in the license file has been updated.
  • The "Install on Linux" part of the readme has been corrected.
  • I'm now working on what will become the MIPS and SPARC plug-ins.
  • Some plug-ins have been separated.
  • The generic plug-in is in the works.
  • HAXM is now depreciated on EmuGUI.
  • A copy of the New VM dialog has been edited.
  • A copy of the Edit VM dialog has been edited.
  • I'm doing my best to optimise EmuGUI by adapting the New VM dialog.
  • For that, the plug-in reader has been prepared.
  • The delcache scripts have been updated.
  • The Edit VM dialog is also to be shrunk in size.
  • The New and Edit VM dialogs are being optimised further.
  • An issue in the New VM dialog which caused the VM creation to be incomplete has been fixed.
  • The Start VM dialog has been adjusted.
  • The SPARC64 plug-in has been corrected.
  • An Alpha plug-in is in the making.
  • The Alpha support is mostly there.
  • As suggested by levelad, an experimental option to run WHPX with kernel-irqchip=off has been added.
  • The translation of the main window was updated.
  • I'm working on bringing back translations for the New VM dialog. However, it will take a while until I can actually re-activate them.
  • Some things on the New VM dialog had to be corrected.
  • The readme had to be corrected again.
  • Work on the RISC-V 32/64 plug-in has begun.
  • The translation files had to be corrected.
  • The New VM dialog is now ready to be translated again.
  • RISC-V 32-bit support has been added. Sorry, but I have to make a second QEMU page starting with RISC-V 64-bit.
  • RISC-V 64-bit support has been added. From now on, there are two QEMU tabs.
  • The translations for RISC-V have been added.
  • April Fools! (from 2.0.0.5606_b2)
  • Networking should now work on RISC-V and Alpha.
  • Word wrapping is activated in the BIOS thing on the New VM dialog now.
  • Thanks to imwez (Discord username), the Portuguese translation is now more complete.
  • There are efforts in fixing the readme.
  • The main UI file has been recreated.
  • User0 is now responsible for the Debian packages. They will come out later than the portable binaries tho.
  • Speaking about portable binaries, Windows executables will be built with Python 3.12 from now on.
  • The additional argument for KVM is no longer mentioned in the readme because it is no longer necessary.
  • The tab order in the first QEMU tab has been adjusted.
  • Welcome to the team, PrelevatedInsider18204.
  • The main window has been translated as far as possible.
  • EmuGUI now has a Guilded server.
  • If you wanna know: The VM dialogs are re-translated.
  • The new banner has been introduced.
  • The fact that EmuGUI on Linux now needs (lib)xcb-cursor0 is mentioned in the readme.
  • On the Linux building section, you can now see the exact install commands for Git and binutils.
  • Also on the Linux building section, you can now click directly on the installation section where you're told to install QEMU.
  • On Linux, there are efforts to make EmuGUI accept spaces in file paths.

Foreported from v1.2.3.5513

  • SPARC64 VMs didn't have network capabilities under any circumstances. This is now fixed.

Known issues

  • Unfortunately, you might have to run EmuGUI from the terminal on Linux.
  • You will not be notified about any more updates for now as update.txt will not be updated.
  • As for the TPM functionality, you must run mkdir (insert-path-here) and swtpm socket --tpm2 --tpmstate dir=(insert-path-here) --ctrl type=unixio,path=(insert-path-here)/swtpm-sock --log level=20 in a terminal (You can leave the --tpm2 argument away tho if you plan to use TPM 1.2 instead).
  • The QCOW2 format is prone to not work for some Windows VMs.
  • The changelog still states this is a pre-release while it's not.
  • The RPM packages from the 8th June, 2024 by @Tech-FZ (and the shortcut creation part from the Debian packages by @user0-07161) have only been tested on openSUSE Tumbleweed so far.

Information about Windows Installers

As InstallFreak is still experimental and requires a lot of polish, @Tech-FZ decided not to host the EmuGUI Windows Installers directly where the EmuGUI releases are at this time. You can download them from the InstallFreak release page on the InstallFreak GitHub repository. Please note that EmuGUI support requests for instances installed by the installers are therefore not prioritised. USE THESE INSTALLERS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
