Menu bar
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
The menu bar located at the top of the 86Box window provides controls for the emulated machine as a whole, its display, and the 86Box user interface.
|
|
|
|
Action
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
* **Right CTRL is left ALT:** let the right Ctrl key act as a left Alt key, to simulate some special keyboards where the Alt key is located on the right side of the space bar.
|
|
* **Hard reset:** force a reset of the emulated machine. Requires confirmation.
|
|
* **Ctrl+Alt+Del:** send a *Ctrl+Alt+Del* key combination to the emulated machine. You can alternatively press *Ctrl+F12* to send that combination.
|
|
* **Ctrl+Alt+Esc:** send a *Ctrl+Alt+Esc* key combination to the emulated machine.
|
|
* **Pause:** pause emulation. Uncheck this option to resume emulation.
|
|
* **Exit:** quit 86Box. Requires confirmation.
|
|
|
|
View
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
* **Resizeable window:** allow the 86Box window to be freely resized. Unchecking this option will return the window to its normal size.
|
|
* **Remember size & position:** automatically save the size and position of the 86Box window to the configuration file.
|
|
* **Renderer:** select a graphical renderer for the emulated display. *SDL (Hardware)* is recommended, but it may not work on some host systems, where *SDL (Software)* is the best option.
|
|
* **Force 4:3 display ratio:** stretch the emulated display to a 4:3 aspect ratio, independently of the emulated machine's screen resolution.
|
|
* **Window scale factor:** scale the emulated display to half (0.5x), normal (1x), 50% larger (1.5x) or double (2x) sizes.
|
|
* **Fullscreen:** enter full screen mode. Press *Ctrl+Alt+Page Down* to go back to windowed mode. You can also enter full screen mode by pressing *Ctrl+Alt+Page Up*.
|
|
* **Fullscreen stretch mode:** select the picture mode to use when in full screen mode.
|
|
|
|
* **Full screen stretch:** stretch the emulated display to completely fit the host display.
|
|
* **4:3:** stretch the emulated display to a 4:3 aspect ratio, then scale it to fit the host display.
|
|
* **Square pixels (keep ratio):** scale the emulated display to fit the host display.
|
|
* **Integer scale:** scale the emulated display to the largest integer scale amount to fit the host display. This provides the highest possible picture quality, at the cost of black bars.
|
|
|
|
* **EGA/(S)VGA settings:** contains display settings specific to EGA, VGA and Super VGA video hardware.
|
|
|
|
* **Inverted VGA monitor:** emulate a VGA monitor with inverted colors.
|
|
* **VGA screen type:** select the VGA monitor type to emulate. Color, grayscale, amber phosphor, green phosphor and white phosphor monitors can be selected.
|
|
* **Grayscale conversion type:** select the color-to-grayscale conversion profile to use when a grayscale monitor is selected.
|
|
|
|
* **CGA/PCjr/Tandy/EGA/(S)VGA overscan:** enable an overscan border around the display for the specified video hardware types.
|
|
* **Change contrast for monochrome display:** optimize the contrast of monochrome CGA monitors for 4-color operation.

Media
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
This menu lists all removable media drives attached to the emulated machine, and provides the same controls that are accessible by clicking the respective drive icon on the :doc:`status bar <statusbar>`.
|
|
|
|
Tools
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
* **Settings:** open the :doc:`Settings <../settings/index>` window.
|
|
* **Update status bar icons:** enable the activity lights on :doc:`status bar <statusbar>` icons. Unchecking this option may improve emulation performance on low-end host systems.
|
|
* **Enable Discord integration:** enable Discord Rich Presence. Other Discord users will know that you're running 86Box, as well as the names of the virtual machine directory, emulated machine and emulated CPU you're using.
|
|
* **Take screenshot:** take a screenshot of the emulated display. Screenshots are saved as PNG images in the ``screenshots`` directory.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Discord integration will not be available if the Discord desktop app is not running, or if the ``discord_game_sdk.dll`` library is not present in the 86Box directory.
