DOSBox-X Git (2026/08/18) is an updated version of DOSBox, an emulator for running old MS-DOS games on modern systems like Windows XP, Vista, Linux, and FreeBSD. Recent changes include enhancements to the handling of configuration files, such as automatic use of existing dosbox.conf files without prompts and improved loading of custom directories. Additional fixes include addressing build errors on gcc and ensuring proper file location logging for savestates. The update also introduces a new function, GetCurDir(), to better manage working directories. For more details, the changelog is available in the update.
