DOSBox-X Git (2026/05/19) has been compiled. DOSBox-x is a derivative of DOSBox. DOSBox simulates an Intel x86 PC, including sound, graphics, mouse, joystick, modem, and more, essential for playing numerous classic MS-DOS games that cannot operate on contemporary PCs and operating systems like Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux, and FreeBSD.
DOSBox-X Changelog:
* CPU reverts to real mode: Resets segment limits, physical address, IDT and GDT, everything. This resolves issues with CTRL+ALT+DEL reboot from OS/2 1.3, where segment limits from protected mode still apply, causing the boot sector to fail.
* Merged pull request #6296 from AleWin32/fix/memfind-mems-pmode-addressing
* Debugger: Fixed MEMFIND/MEMS (most notably, protected mode addressing)
* Floppy: Read ID operation is delayed; it is not instantaneous.
* Floppy: Additional events will be implemented, enabling a method to clear all events for a fresh start.
* Merged pull request #6294 from maron2000/fix_int13
* Updated CHANGELOG
* BOOT: Floppy detection issue corrected.
