DOSBox v0.60

posted in Emulator Release by narvick on Oct 15th, 2003

The DOSBox team has released a new version of their popular cross platform PC with DOS emulator! Here's what's new:
  • Added basic 386 protected mode support
  • Added FPU emulation
  • Added a virtual modem to dial to TCP sockets, still somewhat bugged
  • Added VESA VBE 2.0 support for 256 color modes
  • Added SB PRO 2.0 support
  • Added internal DPMI host to handle some problematic games
  • Added some support for Tandy video mode
  • Added some shell enhancements like tab-completion
  • Added better support for CD drives, better audio playing and cd labels
  • Added several features to the debugger
  • Changed memory system for future page mapping support
  • Changed large piece of VGA emulation core to handle future changes for Hercules and full cga, tandy emulation
  • Changed DMA for better accuracy
  • Changed Tandy 3-voice emulation to use MAME's sn76496 code
  • Fixed several bugs in directory caching code
  • Fixed bugs in PIT and real time clock for better timing
  • Fixed some issues with the console screen on windows
  • Fixed several issues with the internal mouse driver
  • Fixed bugs with files being opened multiple times, still not perfect but better
  • Fixed a load of small other bugs that I've forgotten with these long delays between releases
Even though some high-end 486 and Pentium games work now, the current cpu emulation speed probably won't let you run them at decent speeds. Be sure to read the readme file to see how to tweak for optimal speed.
