New in This Version

• Added Pentium 3 Processor Serial Number emulation. Serial number can be set from dosbox-x.conf or not set, in which case it will act as if disabled by the BIOS. (joncampbell123).
• Added Pentium III cputype, added SSE register set, added SSE instructions to debugger disassembler, added some initial SSE instructions. (joncampbell123)
• Added some MSRs expected by Linux, Windows, and tools like CPU-Z to make them happy. (joncampbell123)
• Added FXSAVE/FXRSTOR which makes Linux happy with Pentium III emulation. (joncampbell123)
• Allow WRMSR to set time stamp counter, as it is known though undocumented a standard since the Pentium (joncampbell123).
• Added debugger command to show global and per-voice status of the Gravis Ultrasound emulation. May come in handy for programmers who wish to write their own GUS routines, and for Trixter who brought up the subject of determining whether a program plays music with the GUS or treats it like a dumb sound card. (joncampbell123).
• Added debugger command to show SSE register file, and to set SSE register contents. (joncampbell123)
• Added debugger command to show MMX register file, and to set MMX register contents. (joncampbell123)
• Added support for expressions within parenthesis in debugger expression handling. (joncampbell123)
• Added & (AND), ^ (XOR), and | (OR) operators, and « and » bit shift operators to debugger expression handling. (joncampbell123)
• Added multiply (*) and divide (/) operators to debugger expression handling. Order of operations applies, so given mixed addition and multiplication, the multiply is done first then the result is added. Also added support for the modulo (%) operator to the debugger expression handling. (joncampbell123)
• Revised debugger expression handling to correctly parse arithmetic operators with order of operations in mind. Prior to this fix, consecutive subtraction would cause seemingly illogical results, for example “10-1-1-1” would yield “9” instead of “7” because subtraction was handled in the wrong order. This fix also makes mixed addition and subtraction possible. NOTICE: Remember that all numbers going in and coming out of the expression handler are hexadecimal, NOT decimal! (joncampbell123)
• Fixed simple expression handling in the debugger. Revised hexadecimal vs register parsing so that hexadecimal numbers that happen to start with the name of certain CPU flag registers does not cause confusing results. Prior to this fix, hexadecimal numbers like “dfe” or “af0” were impossible to enter without leading zeros or quotes because the parser would confuse the first digits with the DF and AF bits of the FLAGS register. (joncampbell123)
• Added menu options “AMD Athlon 600MHz” and “Pentium III 866MHz EB” within the group “Emulate CPU speed” (under “CPU”) for CPU speeds to emulate. (Wengier)
• Added support for archive, hidden, system attributes on mounted local and overlay drives for non-Windows platforms by using special file(s). (Wengier)
• Added config option “special operation file prefix” (in [dos] section) to speciay an alterantive file prefix for DOSBox-X’s special operations on mounted local and overlay drives. (Wengier)
• Added code page 3021 for the MIK character set used by the Bulgarian language (as in FreeDOS). (Wengier)
• Added language file for the Brazilian Portuguese, available from Windows installer. (altiereslima)
• For piping (|), DOSBox-X will now also try C: drive as a temporary piping path if current directory is read-only and the environment variable %TEMP% (or %TMP%) is not set. (Wengier)
• For clipboard copy, CR+LF will now be used instead of LF on Windows for better compatibility. (Wengier)
• Disk images are automatically mounted as read-only (instead of failing) now if the image files are read-only and the users do not explicitly specify read-only mode for the disk images. (Wengier)
• The default value of config option “autofixwarning” (in [dos] section) is now “false”, and it is now changeable via CONFIG command. (Wengier)
• The default output for Linux SDL1 builds is changed from opengl to surface, unlike Linux SDL2 builds whose default output remains opengl. (Wengier)
• Native Windows menus is supported in Windows SDL2 builds just like Windows SDL1 builds. It is possible to force SDL-drawn menus for both Windows SDL1 and SDL2 builds at compile time. (Wengier)
• Setting “windowposition” to “-“ in the configuration will leave DOSBox-X window position as is instead of a specific position or being centered. (Wengier)
• For printing, the SarasaGothicFixed TTF font will also be searched for DBCS code pages. (Wengier)
• Added config option “showdbcsnodosv” (in the [dosv] section) which when set to true enables rendering of Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters for DBCS code pages in non-DOS/V, non-PC98, and non-TTF mode. Video capturing started from TTF output will enable DBCS characters when possible. (Wengier)
• Changing DBCS code pages is supported for standard modes (i.e. non-DOS/V, non-PC98 and non-TTF modes) using CHCP command. (Wengier)
• Fixed issues with certain DBCS characters for the DOS/V system. (Wengier)
• Fixed slow blinking text in TTF output. (Wengier)
• Fixed copying box drawing characters to clipboard not working in non-TTF JEGA mode. (Wengier)
• Fixed background for the Configuration Tool when the TTF output is active. (Wengier)
• Fixed DBCS characters not showing up when capturing screenshots in TTF CJK mode, or they do not show up properly in the Configuration Tool when “autodbcs” is set to “false” in the configuration. (Wengier)
• Fixed media keys presses by ignoring these keys in Windows SDL1 builds. (maron2000)
• Fixed IOCTL & ASPI interfaces for mounting physical CD drives on the Windows platform. (Wengier)
• Fixed the issue of loading scalers in the previous version. A message box will only show up if you append “prompt” to the scaler option. (Wengier)
