86Box Manager is the official (though optional) configuration manager for the 86Box emulator. It's released under the MIT license, so it can be freely distributed with 86Box. See the LICENSE file for more information.
It's written in C# with Windows Forms using Visual Studio 2017.
- Create multiple isolated virtual machines
- Give each VM a unique name and an optional description
- Run multiple virtual machines at the same time
- Control the VM from the Manager window using commands like Pause, Reset, etc.
- Automatically minimize the Manager window when a VM is started
Same as for 86Box. Additionally, the following is required:
- 86Box build 1748 or later (earlier builds don't support all the features the Manager expects)
- .NET Framework 4.0
- Download the desired build
- Run 86manager.exe
- Choose the folder where 86Box.exe is located (along with the roms folder) and a folder where your virtual machines will be located (for configs, nvr folders, etc.)
- Start creating new virtual machines and enjoy
- Clone the repo
- Open 86boxmanager.sln solution file in Visual Studio 2017
- Make your changes
- Choose the "Release" configuration and "x86" platform/CPU
- Build solution
- 86manager.exe is now in Bin\x86\Release\
If you have any issues, questions, suggestions, etc., please open an issue here on GitHub, or visit the official 86Box support channels on IRC and Discord. The project maintainer, daviunic, is often idling there under the name Overdoze.
