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.
