Version 0.2 (2017/3/8)
Pre-release
Pre-release
This release represents a major milestone.
Although it still has many bugs, in this release I was able to move from SlimDX to NAudio (which means that there's no need to download and install anything to run the emulator) and now, the graphics engine uses a fast and persistent surface which has resulted in an 25%-30% performance increase.
This release includes two versions:
- x8086NetEmu_Win32: Compiled for Windows and with sound support.
- x8086NetEmu_XP: Cross-platform version, compiled without sound support. Use with the latest version of mono. Refer to this post for more information.
Both versions include two executables:
- x8086NetEmuWinForms: This version will run under a WinForm form and will use GDI+ to render the text and graphics.
- x8086NetEmuConsole: This version uses the Windows console to render the text. You can improve the rendering by using an appropriate font for the console.
