@@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ One aspect commonly used to compare PCem and 86Box is the emulation performance.
|
||||
|
||||
PCem v15 introduced a rewritten dynamic recompiler, which was primarily aimed at improving emulation performance in games; however, it also caused minor to severe performance regressions in other applications. One example of a regressed application is the (ironically related to a game) **MapEdit** level editor for Wolfenstein 3D, which we measured to lose as much as **85%** emulation speed with the new recompiler on a relatively sensible Pentium 75 setup.
|
||||
|
||||
On **x86 host systems**, 86Box uses the **previous recompiler** from PCem versions before v15, with optimizations performed by us, as we have determined that the new one causes too many regressions to be adopted as a sensible default. There is a way for you to try out the new recompiler on 86Box, though: go to our [experimental builds page](/builds), find whatever build number you're using ([here's 7600](/builds#7600), the release build for v5.0) and download the **New Recompiler (beta)** variant that's right for your host operating system.

|

|
||||
On the other hand, **ARM host systems** always use the new recompiler, as the old one has not received an ARM version. It's worth noting both recompiler variants for macOS are **universal binaries**; the old recompiler one automatically switches over to the new recompiler when running on Apple Silicon.

## Machine manager
|
||||
|
||||
After years of requests, 86Box v5.0 finally brings a preview for a built-in manager, which allows you to keep and run multiple emulated machine configurations from one place. As with PCem, open 86Box directly to start the manager. You can also use [**Avalonia 86**](https://github.com/notBald/Avalonia86) or other manager applications developed by the community.

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.

The 86Box user interface has a lot more going on. The [menu bar](https://86box.readthedocs.io/en/v5.0/usage/menubar.html) contains some options, while others are in the **Settings** window, and media controls are found in the **Media menu**. The [toolbar](https://86box.readthedocs.io/en/v5.0/usage/toolbar.html) contains shortcuts for common actions and the emulation speed indicator. The [status bar](https://86box.readthedocs.io/en/v5.0/usage/statusbar.html) contains indicators for activity, keyboard lock lights and display refresh rate, with the same controls as the Media menu also being accessible by clicking the media icons. While we don't have the **Machine** window, a lot of what it provides is accessible through other means on 86Box.

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.

More disk image formats are supported, including our own [**86F**](https://86box.readthedocs.io/en/v5.0/dev/formats/86f.html) format for floppy bitstream images. Unlimited hard drives (the controllers are the limit) and up to 4 removable drives of **each type** (floppy, CD-ROM, removable disk, MO) can be installed, with each removable drive getting its own entry on the **Media menu** and **status bar**.

|

This is the October 2025 update to 86Box, bringing in a few more new features, lots of new machines and the obligatory bugfixes.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Main features
|
||||
|
||||
### Floppy drive sounds
|
||||
|
||||
We often get requests to add **ambient sounds**, to make emulated setups sound just like real hardware for a more immersive experience. [Domppari](https://github.com/Domppari) took the first step towards that by contributing **floppy sounds** recorded from actual drives, leveraging our accurate floppy emulation to track the drive's motor and head activity.
|
||||
|
||||
These sounds are not enabled by default; they can be enabled through the [**floppy drive settings**](https://86box.readthedocs.io/en/v5.2/settings/floppycdrom.html#floppy-drives) by selecting a drive model in the **Audio** box. Recordings from **one 3.5"** and **two 5.25"** drive models are currently available as part of the ROM set.
|
||||
|
||||
### Other highlights
|
||||
|
||||
Many new **game port joystick types** have been added, between generic options and real models from CH Products and Thrustmaster, expanding upon the previous joystick work led by [jriwanek](https://github.com/jriwanek) in v5.0.
|
||||
|
||||
The Settings window's **machine list** is quite overwhelming due to the sheer amount of categories and machine models available. Locating a specific model - when following a guide, for instance - can be tricky, so a **search box** has been added to help quickly locate any machine by its name or chipset.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Important changes
|
||||
|
||||
### Machine changes
|
||||
|
||||
The **IBM PCjr** no longer has a floppy drive controller by default. PCjr setups with a floppy drive must now have the [FD controller](https://86box.readthedocs.io/en/v5.2/settings/storage.html#fd-controller) set to **Internal device** for the drive to work.
|
||||
|
||||
Continuing the work [started in v5.1]({% post_url 2025-09-14-86box-v5-1 %}#merged-machines), **3 OEM machines** (listed in the 686 category [below](#machines)) have moved and are now BIOS variant options for their respective base motherboards. As before, configuration and CMOS data is **migrated automatically** upon upgrading to v5.2, and if the machine no longer boots, make sure the **ROM set** is up to date.
|
||||
|
||||
On top of that, 5 other machines (listed in the 586 and 686 categories [below](#machines)) have received BIOS updates; however, existing emulated setups will remain on the previous BIOS until an NVRAM wipe is performed, either [through the manager's right-click menu](https://86box.readthedocs.io/en/v5.2/usage/manager.html#machine-list) or by deleting the respective `.bin` file in the machine's `nvr` directory.
|
||||
|
||||
### Host system deprecations
|
||||
|
||||
**32-bit x86 and ARM32** host systems are no longer fully supported when compiling 86Box from source. Support for these 32-bit architectures has been [deprecated for over a year]({% post_url 2024-07-26-86box-v4-2 %}#32-bit-deprecation-notice), with builds no longer provided [since v5.0]({% post_url 2025-08-24-86box-v5-0 %}#host-system-deprecations); it has now been removed from the source code to allow us to better focus on the relevant x64 and ARM64 architectures.
|
||||
|
||||
macOS **High Sierra 10.13** and **Mojave 10.14** support is still on track to be removed in a future update.

||||
