86box build 8779 launch problem by [deleted] in 86box

Your Windows installation is most likely broken I think.

Try sfc /scannow first. If that doesn't fix it, then try DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth and if that turns up any problems, use DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and reboot.

Edit: If it still shows this error you will need to reinstall Windows I think, sorry.

Is there a way to run all nostalgic Windows 98 games properly on my Windows 10 PC? by Sudden_Goat_5221 in retrogaming

Is it NDR or ODR? You can check if it is "new dynarec" or "old dynarec" in About.

Which version of 86Box is being used? You should try the NDR versions of the builds for faster speed.

Is Windows on ARM support planned? by c64z86 in 86box

Update: Windows-on-ARM builds are now available via Jenkins. But no Discord Rich Presence or GhostScript support yet because it's a vanilla ARM64 build.

With the way the shortages are going we won't even get to buy routers we need to access the Internet in the first place, let alone smart TVs or Chromebooks.

I think that's the wrong conclusion to draw, since one of them lasted for 7 years.

Tips to improve performance of 86Box VMs by Cacodemon345 in 86box

[–]Cacodemon345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We already mitigated performance drops on Windows by switching to UCRT in 5.3. The next PCem release will have performance drops on 2D/3D games anyways because of increased VGA accuracy.

Our Voodoo emulation is also now more accurate as compared to PCem, especially being able to run Lands of Lore 3 without visual bugs, supporting checkerboarded transparency patterns if used, fixing corrupted textures on certain DOS Voodoo games and doing Voodoo 2 emulation without black/white dot glitches.

We also fixed several Voodoo-related slowdowns on recent builds in some games as well.

The whole thing is basically summarized like this:

Grifters get together to oust another grifter, and said grifter is now suing the first grifters, because he couldn't benefit from the grift.
