This software allows users to run many old MS-DOS games that are incompatible with modern operating systems like Windows XP, Vista, Linux, and FreeBSD. Recent updates include the reversion of CMPXCHG8B due to issues it caused, along with adjustments for MMX instructions that affect FPU registers. These changes ensure better emulation of the MMX writes, which are crucial for accurate performance. Download is available for the latest version.

* Removed CMPXCHG8B, it caused issues
* Intel notes that MMX instructions write to FPU registers and set the exponent field to all 1s
