Prerequisites
86Box requires ROM files in order to operate, which can be downloaded from the 86Box/roms repository. The roms directory should be in the same location as 86Box.exe.
Which ZIP should I download?
86Boxis the standard build. Download this if you don't know which one to choose.86Box-Debugincludes debug symbols. If you don't need them, you generally don't need to use this build.
Please note the Optimized builds have been discontinued, please use the regular build.
86Box v2.07
Bugfix release.
Changes
This is the list of changes since v2.06:
- Changes to the DirectDraw and Direct3D renderers.
- Improvements to the Window Message protocol for communicating with the 86Box Manager.
- Fixed a bug in the PGC/Image Manager 1024 text modes.
- Fixed IDE on the SPC-4200P.
- PCI Reset Control register now forces bit 4 to be written as 0, fixes resets through this register from the second soft reset onwards.
- The 86F handler now returns randomly generated noise for physical holes, rather than always 0.
- Fixed the video RAM addresses in the text modes on the Sigma Color 400.
- Some fixes to the PC speaker - fixes amplitude in mode 1 (the intro of (Perestroika now works correctly at least on the 8088 4.77 MHz) and makes the parameters consistent with the rest of the PC speaker emulation.
- Fixed the readback of the PC/XT FPU installed switch.
- Added the ability to pause and resume the network thread's reception.
- Fixed the state of network_wait.
- Fixed slowdowns on several games that use CD Audio, such as Tomb Raider II.
- The Award 286 Clone no longer has on-board IDE - the machine technically has it, but it can be disabled, so the easiest way to do it on the emulator is to make the user choose the IDE controller if they need it, and tell the BIOS to use it.
- Some quick fixes for the IBM PS/2 Model 30-286. The hard disk controller is the same as the PS/1 one, and will be properly fixed in v2.10.
- Some changes to the (AT) NVR code.
- Applied Ryuzaki's fixes for the New Floppy/ZIP Image and Settings dialog progress bars, those now work correctly.
- Increased maximum ESDI sectors 99 and fixed the cylinders truncation in config.c.
- Fixed EGA and (S)VGA pel panning, fixes games like Supaplex.

Changes
This is the list of changes from v2.05:
- Fixed memory states set by some machines (including IBM PS/1's and MCA PS/2's).
- Fixed IDE status readout on an absent device 1 with a present device 0, fixes hangs with AMI BIOS'es on hard disk detection in such cases.
