Changes to device_t struct to accomodate the upcoming PCI IRQ arbitration rewrite; Added device.c/h API to obtain name from the device_t struct; Significant changes to win/win_settings.c to clean up the code a bit and fix bugs; Ported all the CPU and AudioPCI commits from PCem; Added an API call to allow ACPI soft power off to gracefully stop the emulator; Removed the Siemens PCD-2L from the Dev branch because it now works; Removed the Socket 5 HP Vectra from the Dev branch because it now works; Fixed the Compaq Presario and the Micronics Spitfire; Give the IBM PC330 its own list of 486 CPU so it can have DX2's with CPUID 0x470; SMM fixes; Rewrote the SYSENTER, SYSEXIT, SYSCALL, and SYSRET instructions; Changed IDE reset period to match the specification, fixes #929; The keyboard input and output ports are now forced in front of the queue when read, fixes a number of bugs, including the AMI Apollo hanging on soft reset; Added the Intel AN430TX but Dev branched because it does not work; The network code no longer drops packets if the emulated network card has failed to receive them (eg. when the buffer is full); Changes to PCI card adding and renamed some PCI slot types, also added proper AGP bridge slot types; USB UHCI emulation is no longer a stub (still doesn't fully work, but at least Windows XP chk with Debug no longer ASSERT's on it); Fixed NVR on the the SMC FDC37C932QF and APM variants; A number of fixes to Intel 4x0 chipsets, including fixing every register of the 440LX and 440EX; Some ACPI changes.

Community
We operate an IRC channel and a Discord server for discussing anything related to retro computing and, of course, 86Box. We look forward to hearing from you!
Getting started
See our documentation for an overview of the emulator's features and user interface.
Building
See the build guide.
Automatic builds
For your convenience, we compile a number of 86Box builds per revision on our Jenkins instance.
| Regular | Debug | Optimized | Experimental |
|---|---|---|---|
Legend
- Regular builds are compiled using the settings in the building guide above. Use these if you don't know which build to use.
- Debug builds are same as regular builds but include debug symbols. If you don't need them, you don't need to use this build.
- Optimized builds have the same feature set as regular builds, but are optimized for every modern Intel and AMD processor architecture, which might improve the emulator's performance in certain scenarios.
- Experimental (Dev) builds are similar to regular builds but are compiled with certain unfinished features enabled. These builds are not optimized for maximum performance.
