WARNING

  • You now need the latest version of your Linux distribution or at least Windows 10 to get official support for this pre-release.
  • EmuGUI 2.0.1 is made for Windows only due to problems occuring on Linux. Therefore, Linux users are requested to download EmuGUI 2.0.0. EmuGUI 2.0.2 is out

Changes compared to v2.0.0.5611

  • In order for instances run by a desktop shortcut to run properly on Windows, a new variable will be used. The Ioana Rosa banner already is shown via that new variable.
    • The variable is used in the main window now.
      • The variable also applies on the icon.
    • The variable is also in an extra file.
      • The extra file has been updated to (hopefully) no longer conflict with folder names.
    • Some error codes related to the variable have been added.
    • The new pathfinder is used on the main window now, but doesn't work as expected (30th June, 2024 at 09:55 AM).
    • The pathfinder has been fixed (30th June, 2024 at 09:58 AM).
    • The pathfinder is now imported in all relevant files.
      • The execution directory has been assigned in those files.
      • Forgot the HardWare Plug-in Reader (HWPR) initially, so I had to add it there now.
    • So far, the pathfinder is in use in the following modules:
      • Main Window
      • Edit VM dialog
      • New VM dialog
      • Error dialog
      • Setting restart dialog
      • Start VM dialog
      • Translation script for "System default".
      • HWPR/Additional Hardware Selection Plug-In System (AHSPIS)
  • The delcache scripts have been updated to remove the cache from the services folder as well.
  • Unnecessary code has been removed from the following modules:
    • Edit VM dialog
    • Pathfinder
  • I try to fix the Pathfinder on compiled binaries on Linux. (30th June, 2024 at 12:45 PM)
  • The pathfinder needed some extra lines for Windows.
  • The pathfinder should be fixed now, but the --onefile argument may no longer be used in PyInstaller.

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.
  • EmuGUI 2.0.1 will be for Windows only due to complications on Linux. Packages for the latter MUST NOT be made.
