This program has been created to further update and enhance WinBox.
Currently, this software may be the successor of WinBox For 86Box.
The most noticeable features from WinBox For 86Box are:
- It automatically updates 86Box via Jenkins.
- It collects all your VMs in a slick brand new list, with some customization options.
- It has a very user-friendly UI.
- It has a template-based virtual machine creation wizard, which makes life so much easier.
- It has a collection of around 2000+ vintage hard disk geometries, so you can use any of them to your heart's wish.
- It has a real-time performance monitor so you can check if you're running too many machines at once.
- It has a built-in GUID-based storing system for your machines, so you don't have to be aware of folder naming schemes.
- It has a large collection of custom-made icons.
- It can create floppy images, and VHD and IMG hard disk images.
And WinBox for 86Box II adds:
- The ability to make floppy images (Coming soon)
- The ability to clone an existing Machine (Coming soon)
- MacOS and Linux Ports (MIGHT be coming soon)
- Load VMs from .86b files (Coming soon)
The program currently supports these display languages:
Hungarian (hu-HU), English (en-US), Italian (it-IT), Portuguese Brazilian (pt-BR), German (de-DE), Simplified Chinese (zh-CN), Spanish (es-ES)
Special thanks to explorerdotexe, Altieres Lima da Silva, startmenu, and Carlos Romero for translating the program.
If you want to add your language to the supported list, you can find the language files under the Translations folder. These files are simple UTF-8 encoded C-style escape sequenced INI files, can be created by any kind of text editor.
If you want to translate the program to your language, you can find a guide in the Wiki section. If you got stuck with it, feel free to ask questions. Add your new language as a pull request and I most probably include it with the next release.
System Requirements:
- Recommended: Windows 10, and Windows 11 are also supported.
- Minimum: Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1, with the latest updates.
Note: Under Windows 7 there are known problems with the updater due to missing cryptographic capabilities by default. These problems can be solved by installing Internet Explorer 11 and the latest updates after SP1.
The program is written in Delphi 11 and uses the JEDI Code Library (JCL).
