## Bring your own manager
|
||||
|
||||
PCem has a built-in manager, which allows you to keep and run multiple emulated machine configurations from one place. 86Box does not have such a manager, though one is planned for the future. For now, you can use our [**86Box Manager**](https://github.com/86Box/86BoxManager) or other manager applications developed by the community, which provide at least basic configuration management.

|

|
||||
There is **no migration path** for configuration files, as the format is too different. You will have to reconfigure your emulated machine on 86Box, but that's a nice opportunity to double-check your configuration while also checking out our features. More on the differences between PCem and 86Box in the configuration department later.

## User interface
|
||||
|
||||
The 86Box user interface should look familiar to PCem users, with two main differences: the menu layout and the status bar. The [menu bar](https://86box.readthedocs.io/en/v4.2/usage/menubar.html) had some options moved to the **Settings** window, and media controls moved to the **Media menu**. The [status bar](https://86box.readthedocs.io/en/v4.2/usage/statusbar.html) contains activity indicators, with the same controls as the Media menu also being accessible by clicking the icons. While we don't have the **Machine** window, most of what it provides on PCem is accessible through the title bar, menu bar and status bar on 86Box.

|
||||
|
||||
Note that the key combination to release mouse capture on 86Box is **F8+F12** on Windows hosts, as we've found PCem's Ctrl+End to conflict with some applications. You can also use the middle mouse button to release capture, unless a [three-button or wheel mouse](#input) is configured.
|
||||
As of 86Box v5.0, the key combination to release mouse capture is the same **Ctrl+End** as PCem on all host operating systems; previous 86Box versions used F8+F12 on Windows hosts. You can also use the middle mouse button to release capture (unless a [three-button or wheel mouse](#input) is configured) and even [customize the keyboard shortcuts](https://86box.readthedocs.io/en/v5.0/settings/input.html#key-bindings) for mouse release and several other emulator functions.

Unlimited hard drives (the controllers are the limit) and up to 4 removable drives of **each type** (floppy, CD-ROM, Zip, MO) can be installed, with each removable drive getting its own entry on the **Media menu** and **status bar**.

|
||||
|
||||
This is the August 2025 update to 86Box, bringing in many new features, fixes, some important changes and an exciting preview for the highly-requested **integrated manager**.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Main features
|
||||
|
||||
### Manager preview
|
||||
|
||||
This release features a preview for one of the most requested 86Box features of all time: an **integrated machine manager** to organize all your emulated setups. This new manager is only meant to replace the old 86Box Manager and other simple front-ends; you can still use other managers with more features such as [Avalonia 86](https://github.com/notBald/Avalonia86).
|
||||
|
||||
The manager is started by **opening 86Box directly**. This is a change from previous versions, where doing this would create or start an emulated machine in the current folder. Starting a machine directly (bypassing the manager) requires the `-P/--vmpath` command line option to be used with the machine's path.
|
||||
|
||||
Emulated machines are stored in the following folders by default. You can move your existing machines there or change the folder through **Tools** > **Preferences** > **System Directory**; note that, for now, you must restart 86Box for the change to take effect.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Windows:** `C:\Users\[username]\86Box VMs` (same as the old 86Box Manager)
|
||||
* **macOS:** `~/Library/Application Support/86Box/Virtual Machines`
|
||||
* **Linux:** `~/.local/share/86Box/Virtual Machines`
|
||||
|
||||
### Other highlights
|
||||
|
||||
Mouse input and display output are now <b title="PureSmooth, in fact">much smoother</b>, especially on high refresh rate monitors, thanks to improvements to the emulator's frame timing, input polling and video rendering systems. The frame timing changes may potentially have a negative performance impact on **low-end systems**, but the [**CPU frame size**](https://86box.readthedocs.io/en/v5.0/settings/machine.html#cpu-frame-size) option can be changed to **Larger frames** to restore the previous behavior from v4.2.
|
||||
|
||||
The OpenGL 3.0 Core renderer, which allows for applying [CRT emulation](https://docs.libretro.com/shader/crt/) and other shader effects to the emulated display, has been completely reworked. New features include **multiple shaders**, support for shaders in the **`.glslp` format** and configuring **shader parameters** through the user interface.
|
||||
|
||||
Out of the many new machines, a couple represent early attempts to bring standard PC-compatible architectures to the Japanese market, dominated at the time by the incompatible NEC PC-98 and other non-x86 computers. The [**OKI if386AX30L**](/assets/images/v5.0/okiax.png "Screenshot of MS-DOS with AX support drivers loaded") follows the [AX specification](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AX_architecture) spearheaded by a consortium of manufacturers and Microsoft, while the [**IBM PS/55 Model 5550**](/assets/images/v5.0/ps55.png "Screenshot of IBM PC DOS J4.08 for the PS/55 family") is part of a family of PS/2 machines modified for that market's needs. The AX specification's **JEGA** and **JVGA** video cards are also available as standalone options for other machines. Emulation for all this hardware was contributed by [Akamaki](https://github.com/akmed772).
|
||||
|
||||
CD-ROM has been around since the 1980s, but the IDE-based ATAPI interface we all know was only released in [1994](https://www.os2museum.com/wp/the-secret-history-of-atapi/). Prior to this, CD-ROM drives used **proprietary vendor-specific interfaces** on the average PC, or SCSI on higher-end gear. Several of these early drives made by **Panasonic/Matsushita** are now emulated, along with a matching controller card available in both a standalone version and a Creative version commonly found in Sound Blaster cards. Emulation is based on the [PicoGUS](https://github.com/polpo/picogus) project, which in turn uses part of our code in its CD-ROM emulation feature - we appreciate the support!
|
||||
|
||||
On the subject of CD-ROM, the **MDS/MDF** disc image format used by Alcohol 120% and Daemon Tools is now supported. Note that encrypted images produced by newer versions of Daemon Tools are currently not supported.
|
||||
|
||||
On top of the new manager, many improvements have been made to the user interface, including **dark mode support on Windows**, **write indicators** on the status bar icons, and a new status bar section with **keyboard lock light indicators** and a **refresh rate display**. The **keyboard shortcuts** for releasing mouse capture and calling other emulator functions are now [configurable](https://86box.readthedocs.io/en/v5.0/settings/input.html#key-bindings) thanks to a contribution by [Cathode Ray Dude](https://gekk.info/).

|
||||
## Important changes
|
||||
|
||||
### Mouse release shortcut
|
||||
|
||||
The key combination for releasing mouse capture is now **Ctrl+End on all host operating systems**, as the previous F8+F12 used on Windows hosts was found to have application compatibility issues. Releasing capture with the middle mouse button is still an option [where available](https://86box.readthedocs.io/en/v5.0/settings/input.html#mouse "See note about the middle button"). The F8+F12 combination **cannot be restored** using the new keyboard shortcut customization feature.
|
||||
|
||||
### Host system deprecations
|
||||
|
||||
v5.0 is the final release of 86Box to support macOS hosts running **High Sierra 10.13** and **Mojave 10.14**. The next release is slated to require **Catalina 10.15** or newer, with no plans to end Intel support.
|
||||
|
||||
As noted in the [v4.2 release announcement]({% post_url 2024-07-26-86box-v4-2 %}#32-bit-deprecation-notice), we are no longer providing builds for **32-bit host systems**. Compiling from source remains an option on 32-bit and other unsupported architectures.
|
||||
|
||||
### System-wide preferences
|
||||
|
||||
All settings found in the **Preferences window**, such as language and mouse sensitivity, are now **saved system-wide** and apply to all machines on all copies of 86Box v5.0 and newer. Due to this change, any of these settings you may have changed on individual machines have been **reset**.
|
||||
|
||||
[Custom key combinations](#mouse-release-shortcut) are **not** saved system-wide for now.
|
||||
|
||||
### DVD on CD drives
|
||||
|
||||
Inserting **DVD-ROM discs** (or folders larger than 1 GB) now requires [setting a drive model](https://86box.readthedocs.io/en/v5.0/settings/floppycdrom.html#cd-rom-drives) with DVD-ROM support, such as the **86BOX 86B_DVD**, unlike previous versions where all drives accepted all disc types.
