DOSBox-X Git (2026/08/09) has been compiled. DOSBox-x is a derivative of DOSBox. DOSBox emulates an Intel x86 PC, including sound, graphics, mouse, joystick, modem, etc., which are essential for playing many classic MS-DOS games that are incompatible with modern PCs and operating systems like Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux, and FreeBSD.
DOSBox-X Changelog:
* Changed BIOS setup screen color from yellow on blue to white on blue for a traditional Award BIOS appearance
* BIOS setup: Enhanced selector highlighting
* BIOS setup: The IBM PC attributes used for highlighting do not visibly change in MDA/Hercules machine types; the underline attribute should be used instead
* BIOS: Why do we claim to be an IBM COMPATIBLE BIOS in the BIOS setup screen if the machine type is NEC PC-98?
* BIOS setup: While we are still figuring out how to read/write or emulate CMOS on PC-98 systems, the selected item should still be highlighted in a way that PC-98 software typically presents menus
* BIOS setup: Fixed initial absence of date/time highlighting when entering the screen
* BIOS setup: There’s no need to reboot the system upon exit just because the user changed the date and time. Software and operating systems often make changes without requiring a restart. Imagine if Windows 95 necessitated a reboot every time you adjusted the clock by double-clicking the time in the taskbar!
* BIOS setup: Separate CMOS functions for PC-98 (stub functions), as the IBM PC CMOS functions interfere with text display in PC-98 mode
* BIOS setup: Implemented new get/set functions for clock time adjustments and modified BIOS tick count
* BIOS setup: Utilized callbacks for clock read/write operations. For IBM PC mode, employ the CMOS for date/time read/write, not the BIOS timer counter
* Merged pull request #6451 from cimarronm/add-teledisk
* Added CHANGELOG entry for TeleDisk (.td0) image support
* Included TeleDisk (.td0) image support
