New Box64 v0.3.2 and Box86 v0.3.8 released (Native Flags, Benchmarks, Box32)


A new version of both Box64 and Box86 have been released! While the changelog for box86 doesn't contains much, there is a load of news improvments, features and fixes for Box64. With some speed improvments, improved compatibility and a new subproject, Box32, there is a lot. But lets dive into more details on the Performances...

The Strong memory model refactor also fixed a few issues, and there is now a new subproject in box: wrapperhelper. There was a first attempt at this before, but that new version is a complete new project, not based on llvm (implementing it’s own C parser), and that allows generating library wrapping faster and more accuratly than doing manualy. If you are an 64bits only platform, give Box32 a try, you might get some things to run fine, espcially old linux games, like Undertale, Limbo or Anomaly Warzone Earth (but be aware of the limitations: no steamcmd, no steam, no vulkan, and some things in wine still don’t work correctly, like registry access it seems).
